Hello Guys,



Why is it hard for some of you to read messages that are sent to you? I will not take your reading my message as a sign of interest, sometimes I will send out words of encouragement that I don't need a response to. I guess for me, it is different, I will read all mail messages and reply to them even if you say hello. Common courtesy guys!

I can't really relate. I read all of my messages. I don't always respond because some of the messages are not worth a response.

Thanks for your reply. I'm not even going ask what kind of message doesn't get a response but mine is usually along the lines of how are you doing today. Just regular stuff.

I don't know who doesn't read messages. Perhaps you're messaging guys who aren't active on here anymore?

Actually Tulip89, most guys I message are usually the ones that are online. Is there a setting then that doesn't let anyone know you've read their message, like viewing a profile?

I don't believe there is a setting for that. Some people I'm sure will look at the person's profile and decide they are not interested and won't read the message.

I read all my messages, and I respond to 'em too. Usually if anything, women are more the ones that do this in any online dating website than men. Plus on here, it seems like everyone goes back and forth like maybe 10 times, then it just dies off and they don't write back. :(

Even though it's one way to figure out who may and who may not be an active member, I've found that just because it says someone is online, doesn't mean that they are actually on CDFF. Some web browsers automatically log people in before they ever even go the CDFF site.

In my own experiences, I've gotten a lot of "missed instant message" notices because of that; it says I'm online, a guy tries to IM me, and I don't get the IM because I'm not actually on CDFF. I eventually turned off the IM feature altogether because of that.

When I send messages about eighty percent of the time it's because I read something on the person's profile that gave me inspiration or they sound like they have a defeatist attitude or are struggling and as a believer I believe in bearing your brother's and sisters up, in praying for them diligently o matter where they are in the world. Some of them are active members and maybe choose not to read them I don't know but I know I am not hitting on them so to speak I just wanted to send a kind word or an encouragement or prayer. Sometimes I offer a listening ear and each CDFF member is not created equal some do read and respond in gratitude or take me up on just listening and praying. I check in on some occasionally. But for those who don't read them I can't say anything but it's their choice.

Nickel88, I can understand if back and forth emails die after a time, all it means that one or both have no interest in pursuing it further because there isn't a connection there. At least you have tried. And yes I understand that after reading someone's profile you might not be interested. But it is no excuse not to read the message. As I stated before usually I would just give a word of encouragement or just comment on something I see on their profile. If you don't respond then that's up to you.
