....not to message? Am I the only one who resists the urge to message someone you really fancy on here because if they don't reply or they do and they aren't interested then even the dream of possibly meeting is over!? |

Good call...I know they come on the forums, maybe that's where I need to test the waters? |

It's how I should have done it but was beaten to it

I hate fishing... "
She might like you but feels the same way about messaging..... life is to short...have fun |

Yes this is a great idea. |

"Sooo, you only message people you don't really fancy?  "
Haha...I was waiting for that one! No, not at all. But this person is pretty close and really pushes all the right buttons for me...make sense? |

Only because I've seen it said so many times on here or versions of it.
To me it's like choosing not to eat the nicest chocolate in the box and just looking at it instead but that's just the way I think |

I find that there is a lot of single males that get a lot of stigma for messaging first, now I understand that some are extremely rude and deserve what’s coming to them. However i think this post does shed some light on the Difficulties a small few of us very genuine guys face, confidence is a factor and it takes a lot to make the first move x as for the original question i would always suggest taking a chance and as long as your well spoken in your opening message and dont come across as fake or desperate or eager then you may just get lucky and find a reply waiting in your inbox. Good luck OP you will do fine im sure |

Go for it, I get ignored all the time and I just think it's their loss. |

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, and if they don't reply, or reject, you are no worse off than you were before! Even if they block you for some stupid reason without having the slightest idea what kind of guy you are, it's probably their loss not yours. Always bear in mind that seduction is a bit like waiting for a bus, it doesn't matter if you miss the first one, as there will be another one along in a minute. Take a tip from an old hand with years of experience, confidence is what the game is all about. |

If you say just the right interesting thing that catches her eye and differentiates you from everybody else, who knows? Never know till you try.
There is of course no magic word or formula for this. It's just pure chance but that's how everybody clicks, by chance. |

There and to the left a bit |
One option has the outcome of you definitely not getting to meet the person concerned - the other has a 50/50 chance you won't - so ask yourself this, do you definitely *not* want to meet them?  |

Why would you not send it? If you don’t, you’ll live in the grip of constant hope that you’ll get a reply, rather than the higher probability that you’ll be ignored and deleted. And as we know, hope is a dangerous thing!
Better to send a message and have the outcome confirmed

Go for it I’ve lost track the amount of times I’ve messaged women and got no reply or a knock back , but if you don’t give it a go you will never know what might happen and if you might get a reply back rejection is part and parcel for guys on here unfortunately |

An arrow never shot will never hit the target.
You created this thread in the time it would have taken to message the woman in question and there's a risk of rejection here too when others respond in a way you don't want to hear |

People tend to regret the things they didn’t do, more than the things they did do |

I really don’t see the point in not messaging as you’ve got nothing anyway, but messaging gives you an opportunity.
There’s 1000’s of guys who are taking the initiative and messaging her and you are standing by watching.
Are you always going to be THAT guy who loses out or are you get some balls and message

Not sure if it’s an age thing but I no longer take rejection personally. People of all kinds are attracted to people of all kinds (bios on here being evidence of that) it’s just part of life’s tapestry I guess and as equally as it might mean you’re rejected by some, it could mean you’re pursued by others.
Coupled with the fact that this is a swinging site i.e. mainly just for sex, as opposed to feelings, rejection on first approach doesn’t hold the same peril for me as if it were something different. It happens to us all. If you’re rejected by this person, I’m sure it will open opportunities to meet other people you might not otherwise.
Try not to get caught in the moment and send the message. There’s very little to lose I say. Good luck OP |

I do this a lot because a lot of the time people who are my type wouldn't go for an ugly moose like myself ( just to be clear, I'm not fishing I genuinely think I'm ugly and I'm very unfiltered so I say exactly how I feel.)
I did take the plunge with a guy I had winked a few times because I wanted to know If he thought I sounded like a massive c*** or if it was because he wasn't attracted to me. He didn't need to reply but he sent me a very lovely reply saying I seem really nice, and am beautiful, just not his type.
He didn't need to compliment me and I should have taken it as a positive that he didn't think I sounded awful but I took it really badly and haven't messaged anyone first since
In several years I've only messaged first a handful of times and I've always been rejected or given an excuse as to why we can't meet so I don't feel able to message those I like.
I'm going through a tough time with issues with my appearance. They affect my day to day life so I'm trying to just stick to the forums and keep in touch with friends.
I probably shouldn't consider meeting when every meet makes me feel ugly afterwards.
I know this message makes me sound very unappealing but I want anyone who suffers with BDD to know they aren't alone and for others to educate themselves on it.

Thankyou that's very kind of you. I actually really appreciate the mind part.
I'm too honest for my own good and I put people off a lot.
I relate to someone who talked about having high functioning autism and people not getting what they were trying to say.
I feel like I often say the wrong thing on here! |

Yep, I rarely message first because I always assume that they'd never be interested |

I think you’d be pleasantly surprised by how many fabbers would be very interested in you. |

Just noticed this had a bit of a revival after 3 weeks....if anyone is interested I did and I didn't message, had a small interaction on the forums and a private message or two, but nothing more than some cheeky banter. Still keeping the dream alive!! |

It's the best way there are a few I am on the cusp of messaging, but I will keep it finger just hovering over the send button, a warm feeling knowing I could, but I wont  |

Send the message OP, you don’t regret the things you do…you regret the things you don’t do.
If you ask you won’t know |
