ernblessing View Profile History	Winks Posted : 19 Jul, 2016 01:28 AM A guy winks at you, should you respond at all? I find myself not responding to winks that are not accompanied by the very least a message. Is that rude? Post Reply
JamesEG View Profile History	Winks Posted : 21 Jul, 2016 08:13 PM I don't think it is necessarily rude not to reply to a "wink." You have the option to respond or not to respond to a "wink." But a "wink" is I guess a way to express interest, without taking the time to send a message. If I received a "wink," I would probably look at the person's profile, then if the profile interested me, I would send the person a brief message, perhaps asking them to tell me more themselves. Even if I wasn't interested, I would probably reply with a brief "thank you" for the wink and mention my lack of interest in a polite way, perhaps with a specific reason for my lack of interest. But I think it all depends on the situation. Post Reply
View Profile History	Winks Posted : 22 Jul, 2016 09:24 AM I agree with James. I used to respond to every wink with either a message of interest or a message of no interest depending on the situation, but I've not kept up with that. Sometimes it's difficult to tell someone that you aren't interested in them, even if your reasons are valid. Post Reply

View Profile History	Winks Posted : 23 Jul, 2016 11:22 AM I have never winked at anyone. I'm too old to be ambiguous. If I find someone attractive by their pictures and their profile, I send a message and ask if they'd like to talk. Post Reply
ernblessing View Profile History	Winks Posted : 8 Aug, 2016 02:46 AM i agree with you. A message works better for me too. I actually try to respond to all messages, considering somebody did put the effort to write to you. Thanks for your insight! Much appreciated. Post Reply
ernblessing View Profile History	Winks Posted : 8 Aug, 2016 02:54 AM I may be wrong, but i more often than not interpret a wink to mean>>> interested yes but not quite deserving a message yet. I proceed to the profile and if there is nothing much to go by, that's the end of it. Thank you all again for taking time to give your thoughts. Post Reply
View Profile History	Winks Posted : 29 Aug, 2016 04:36 AM I think its up to the individual to decide if they want to respond to winks or not. I personally don't see the point in sending a wink, this is a free site after all so sending a short introductory message costs nothing... Post Reply
