"If you reply politely with a no thank you they still message, or get rude and aggressive. If you delete the message they message asking what's wrong with them. If you don't read the message they just continue to message If I am polite and chat they automatically think I'm interested. Do I really need to block everytime??? Which people then say is massively rude. What a minefield " Block every time. It's not rude. | |||

"I must admit to being a bit of a soft touch when it comes to messages. For some reason, I like to try to reply to everyone. Thankfully these days I don't seem to get that many. The messages that get me are the ones that say "have I said something wring?" Or "have I said something to upset you?" Just because I haven't replied straight away. Don't they realise I have a life!?

"I have a look at the profile, and if i'm not interested I just leave the message unread until it eventually gets auto deleted. If I like the look of their profile I'll then read the message and see if I want to reply or not (generally not as it's normally a 'how are you?' or FAF, in which case it gets marked unread and left) I haven't got the time or the inclination to send replies to all the messages I receive " I must have done something right then lily xx | |||

"When I can be bothered to clear it out I delete the ones I'm not interested in. If they message again to whinge or I get multiple uninteresting messages from someone then I block. I don't block straight away as I believe in second chances ." I block if they message again after I've deleted too. Or if they are asking why I'm not replying or what's wrong with them. | |||

And if it's a polite "sorry, you're not what I'm looking for" they're usually ok with it. If not, block button's your best friend x | |||
