If someone is obviously casting a large net, I won't respond. Why should I? There's plenty of other ladies as it is. I refuse to run further relay races to get the prize. It's not that important to me since he's obviously not more selective and considerate.
Good example: Emails and other messages that do not greet me by my name and have the appearance of a draft/form letter.
9 out of 10 times, I never hear back from those. He's not even nice enough to let me know he's made other plans.
When I encounter this, that person is forever blocked from further contact because I know he'll do it again. I won't be on his recycled list. Solid dates are wanted. NOT scatter shooters.
Concerning a lot of back & forth emails that dance around and don't settle on firm decisions, squelch those. It's nonsense and accomplishes nothing. Either get to the point or move on. Everyone's time and efforts are valuable; quit wasting them.
Reminds me of the movie scene from Disney's Dumbo of the indecisive crows who can't make up their minds.
