Dear Annie,
I had just started on a new online dating forum and am frustrated at the reaction I'm getting. Now, I signed up for a new online dating service, and I'm inundated with messages. Of takes me hours each day to try to politely respond to messages. Many of the men seem very desperate for company. I can sympathize with them but just don't have the time.

Hi Suzanne,
It's great that you're utilizing the power of the web to meet people. It's a great tool. Learning to get it under control can be tricky. If you want to be polite to people you are not interested in online, just create a cut and paste message like "Thank you for your interest, but I don't believe we are a match. Best of luck in your search." It's OK to do. Many people don't reply at all, so most people appreciate the communication.
It's easy to spin your wheels on online sites. After all, you're looking for quality, not quantity. Be pro-active. Play around with the site until you learn to use all of it's features. Don't think "Oh, I'll never use that feature..."--experiment! Do your own searches. This is not a time to be coy. It's fine for women to contact men--in fact, you'll meet more men that meet your criteria if you do.
If you want help getting your profile to attract more compatible future dates, contact me. My Online Profile Tuneups help you to target your message towards the Right One.
Happy dating!
