Help?! =)

What does it mean when a guy sends a wink? Is he looking for a response or just trying to be friendly, or what? Do you think it's okay to ignore a guy who sends you a bunch of winks... like several a week... ?



P.S. The blinking thing is annoying. Haha...

uum, this being a dating website, should leave any room for doubt, that a man s interested in you. so a wink is a good sign that a man wants your attention, which the ones on here are kinda hard to ignore.

It says, "I'm interested, but I'm too much of a sissy to send you a real message." I do not believe such behavior should be rewarded, especially if he's wink-stalking you. You want a man who rejects passivity instead of embracing it.

The way I see it if a person only sends out a wink makes me think that they aren't willing to take the time to read your profile and write a short note to say why you may be a good match.

Personally I don't send out winks and if someone sends me a wink I ignore it.

Thanks for the responses, guys =) I was starting to feel bad for ignoring all my winks, but I don't feel so bad now. Just going to keep ignoring... Haha...

possibly your mail settings are keeping the guy from writing you an email...

Thanks for the reply, Nyanda =) My age range is set to all ages, and I haven't restricted smokers or those who drink or those who live outside of the US. Not that I would necessarily be interested in persons outside of a certain age range, etc., but I wanted everyone to be able to contact me, for friendship purposes or if they have questions on something I've said in the forum here.

Playing devil's advocate here: Some profiles are really short and vague. And then I would think about using a wink. If they're not serious enough to write a good profile, then I'm not serious enough to write a good message. They could be cool, but at the same time I don't want to be a bull in a china shop. If a girl sends me a wink, i think 'she wants to talk but for me to initiate. cool.' sometimes winks are good.

"Wink-stalker"???? Hahahahahahahahahaha



Cracks me up!



You are right -- that blinking wink is annoying. For me personally, and especially after reading lots and lots of posts from guys and gals here..... I always respond to every message and wink. I consider it polite, and doing onto others and all that.

Thanks Brandon for saying a positive about winks. Since I have a penchant for jacking up threads I was going to stay out of it, since I was in the minority.



First, I'm so glad to see you remp! I saw that you were deleted and I thought you had left without saying goodbye.



When I was actively looking for my guy, I was always excited to see the wink word blinking. It represented a potential connection.



I see winks as a virtual equivalent of someone giving you the eye from across the room or a guy buying a drink for you while sitting across the room. (Not that I was EVER in that situation :devil:)

It's a icebreaker. I think people use it to initiate contact and to give you a chance to look at their profile and see whether you are interested in further contact.



Like Godslamb, I always respond to any contact. If someone had the courage to contact me in any way, I will have them suffer rejection at my hands.
