We all get em at one point or another.....

Someone gets the hots for you and loses perspective of the difference between flirting or casual conversation and decides.....THEY WANT YOU. (I am refering to those who pitch woo on the internet)

How do YOU deal with it? Cause there is no way in Hell it is ever gonna work and not everyone is bright enough to take a hint.

Generally, I am polite and stick and move until some other poor sucker wanders into the crosshairs and catches the unwanted wooing. It may not be as bluntly up front as "You ain't my type"...but it is an effective tactic and mostly enables you to salvage some good friendships.

I guess the thing is...I have a hard time popping someones heart shaped balloon...anyone else got a problem with handling the ones coming at you like a love struck puppy?

I am up front with the person. The first time it happened I felt pretty bad. I'd rather be honest from the beginning.

hmmm...NO...no wooing on my account thus far! I'm a mess though so they are probably skeered! Oh and then the fact of the NO Michael clause...which is the bulk of my potential suitors laugh

It's a tricky situation, isn't it? You don't want to be rude or cruel or hurt anybody, but at the same time you can't really let them go on believing you might be interested if that's simply not the case.

This is one of the reasons I've been as excruciatingly detailed in my profile as I have -- hopefully, it weeds out the obvious non-contenders. If they haven't read the profile, I can always tell them to go take a look, and that may resolve the whole matter.

The only problem at that point is the ones who have read the profile, know I wouldn't be interested, and maintain the pursuit anyway, in the hopes they can get me to change my preferences. Sometimes there's a need for a slightly more direct approach....

They drive me nuts..
My profile tells everyone that I am taken and happy to be friends.
So people be your friend, and then all of a sudden they think you would be perfect for them...noway noway noway noway
Where does that come from..
I am happy to talk to anyone about most things, I love to make friends and find out about people, and I do find it very easy to care about people, but me Luving a friend
and me loving my man are two very very different things..


I try and be nice and just say that Anaconda will strangle you.noway

And i always share what I talk about with anaconda, he knows who I talk to and what is going on. If I start to have a problem I talk to him..

I haven't actually had a problem with it for quite a while but, it does happen ...more often than not to friends of mine right here. I kinda see things from the third party angles of one trying to hard while the other is shying away or some thing similar...The trying too hard approach makes me wanna say "Stop dude/dudette...your embarrassing yourself...he/she ain't going for it"

I totally agree with that first line of yours Lex....

sometimes it has to be sharp
sometimes none of it meant anything at all
I'm not happy about letting people down...but i think its more cruel to let them believe there is potential when there is not

Would we get those 'I Dream of Jeannie'
pants and tops and turbans?

You know, you can tell the hopeful
that you only wish to be friends.
What they hear is 'I want you.'
They have mingle deafness.
Too much loud flirting.
