- I am too picky (and why shouldn't I be?)
- I'm dragging my heels (OK, perhaps.)
- I should be more pro-active. (Must I? Must I really?)
Title of Message: Culling!
Dear Insert Appropriate Name,
I'm being ruthless and cleaning the inbox... So here you are... ;) Please cut and paste as applicable.
Dear Cousin Bette,
1. I think you are a truly fabulous wonderful woman whom I'd be an idiot not to meet, so let's make a date.
2. I'm rather bored by the whole business of this website and only come on here to wind people up when there's nothing better to do in the dead of night.
3. I'd probably quite like you as a person, but nothing is going to come of it for a variety of reasons either which I can't go into here, or won't go into here because I don't want to hurt your feelings.
4. I'm only messaging you out of politeness, having decided ages ago this has no potential for anything. You are, in fact, a bit of a mare. May I suggest you find alternative stabling?
5. I'm really rather too lazy to actually go to the trouble of meeting anyone because, when push comes to shove, I'm not that bothered and like my life exactly the way it is. No extra hassle required.
Regards,
Another one who bit the dust.
Possibly the man of your dreams.
A potential buddy.
I really don't mind which answer you respond with - this is merely a time-saving application designed for our mutual convenience.
Thank you for your time and attention,
So what do you think? Pro-active enough? Anyone who hasn't replied by the end of tomorrow gets blocked. Good job I have a mild flirtation going on elsewhere. ;)

hahaha! Love it! Just a couple of questions though :
1) Who is this date with next week?
2) When you say 'cleaning the inbox' are you referring to your messages or something a bit more seedy? (what? this is all about pervs in internet dating, right?) ;-)
3) If they have any brains they will all select option 1 with the signature of 'man of your dreams' ;-)
Ellen - this date next week is probably a mistake. ;) The initial conversation revealed a few minor 'issues' - lol! euphemism for - let's face it, the whole thing is probably going to be a disaster! Also going on another date on Saturday - don't quite know how that happened either. It's Stella's fault for telling me I'm too picky. On the plus side, two people in the last two days have told me how truly marvellous I am, never met anyone like me etc, but they just aren't the guys for me. All that potential lerrrrve, if only I could find a way of fancying them. :(
Okay I love the mass mail approach - might help separate the weak from the chav. (I slay myself)
Downith - you slay me too!
