I recently signed up through Match.com and have been very fortunate to receive lots of short messages from nice girls who say nice things. I am attracted to and interested in some of those girls, but there are others who I think are sweet but maybe just not my type.
Match.com gives you an option to say "No Thanks," or you could write someone back, or you can ignore them. I'm afraid that even sending the standard "no thanks" is a little bit cold when someone takes the time to e-mail you and says something nice to you. Any thoughts on how to be as considerate of others as possible in this situation?

Perhaps you can say, "I read your note and appreciated what you said. I just don't think that you and I would be a good match. Good luck finding someone more suited to you."
It doesn't have to be that long but just to give you an idea of what you could say.
Thanks for being one of the good guys. Good luck to you.

>> That is a good question. Under the circumstances, I would think that since there is a "No Thanks" option, I would not feel too bad about that. I belong to a dating service too and am never sure what to say to those I am not interested in. There is no such thing as the "No Thanks" so I always just thank them for writing but that I am not interested at this time.

The easiest way is just to ignore the message. Women do that all the time. If you want to be nice, and lie, you can tell them you've met someone. If you just want to be nice, and you are up for chit chat, you can just message each other back and forth. Sooner or later it will end. Otherwise, just tell them that you aren't interested..... Personally I would just ignore the message or send a No Thanks.

personally i would send a short e-mail thanking them for taking the time to write to you but you do not feel this is the right match for you. tell them that you wish them all the best of luck.

Just be truthful. Tell her you met a sweet person named, ANNet. Also..drop the sinker first.

Just be honest. Afterall, it is a dating service. I'm sure it isn't anything that she hasn't heard before. Otherwise, she wouldn't be using a dating service.

If there's a "No Thanks" option, chances are they've seen it before and it's not a big deal to them. They'll just keep on looking.
If they had such a problem with the "No Thanks," I'm sure they'd switch dating services.

i would be happy with a thanks but no thanks ---- if you feel you must do something more then reply with a short note saying you appreciate the consideration ---- you are not interested --- i think a no thanks is acceptable
