Well not really I'm going off another topic.


Lets get this out on the table


Many of us have been on dating stits for sometime now. All of us have sent emails to someone and the reply was "not interested"

So, from where I stand. Not interested means, move on, i'm not attracted to you, don't email me, not a chance etc etc. Now, some people think it means something different. I'm not going to push the situation if someone is telling me to get lost.


So, How would you take this reply being any different knowing what it actually stands for. Knowing 99.999% of people that say this, mean it?

Hummm guess it would all depend on what was in the e-mails for one to say "Not Interested" I mean were ya asking for just a friendship, a date, lunch etc.............


See where I'm going here

Just because one is not interested in dating someone they may be interested just as a friend only.

Or just because we are friends here does not mean I would go to lunch with that person...........

Never been on a dating stits. I don't roll like that...

Hummmm wake up buttercup your on one..........

Would that be the same as:

"Just say no, if you want to...or say no?"

I know where your going, but lets just say you were being friendly, Just trying to chat. they say not interested nothing more nothing less. I have had this happen, and later down the line that same person sends an email and acts all interested.

This was explaind on the other thread as well. So, does not interested mean. What it stands for, or does it mean other things as well?


To add to this, most women that are not interested in someone, thinks that more then half of the men on a dating site want to just hook up or go on a date right? This is a dating site and what it was made for. So if your not interested in someone your not right?

Well in my book it means I'm not interested in you regardless the situation........... same as saying F... off more or less...

Shame on you! You used the 'F" word

Back in the days when I was young and naive (or stupid, that works, too), I used to send out e-mails. Not once did I ever get a reply, not even a "not interested."

But I would assume no reply and "not interested" are pretty much the same thing, insofar as determining whether or not there's any need to try to continue the correspondence.

That's one reason I don't e-mail anybody first anymore.

what's good for the goose is good for the gander. No means no and I'm not interested in playing silly games.

I don't always get an email, but depending how I word things at times. Some emails are not always nice

When I receive a "not interested" reply, I am just happy someone is considerate enough TO reply!

I appreciate their honesty and integrity in replying. It allows me to move on and seek another path. It also validates my guiding principle in also letting someone know I am not interested rather than ignoring them. I still get hate-mail on occasion if I say, "thanks but no thanks"; however, at least that person knows I am not interested.

I don't let it get me down when someone is not interested in me. There are a lot of people in this world and I don't view this situation as rejection. I can't be everyone's type!

Honestly, I can't see to many men saying not interested to you

What you said about not letting it get you down and not taken is as rejecgtion. Actually there are people that do this, just i'm not one of them either. If you don't send an email or say not interested. No loss to me.

It just means to me the doll comes outta the closet again!!

You called me Buttercup......
