I'm getting ready to take a break from Mingle. - Does anyone read these profiles? - If you start a conversation with me, don't just disappear in the middle of it. - Lifetime member now, which I now think is a mistake. - I shouldn't have to say this, but before you write me, read my profile first, make sure I am someone you want to talk to. And do not ask to go off-site, the answer will be no. - Before you ask me "What are you looking for on here?" or any other such thing, remember what kind of site this is. Instead of asking what I'm looking for, tell me what you're looking for. - I don't reply to "Hi", "Hey", "Hi there", "Hey there", "Hi handsome" or any other such messages. Write something I can read and make a decision about whether I want to reply or not. -- If you're from out of town, unless you're moving to my area in the very near future, you're probably wasting your keystrokes on me. -
