Afternoon all,
What are your feelings on winking etiquette on here?
My belief is, if someone sends me a wink and I am interested, I will wink back and then it’s up to the person who initiated the winking to message.
Am I wrong to think that? Do the winking initiators think that once they wink, they should be messaged?
One for debate I’m sure. |

Thats my stance on it. If I wink and get winked back i'll message. Sometimes i'll message without winking but if theres no response then thats fine. |

Do what you feel is right for you without worrying about it. I don't think there is an etiquette as such. I always assume that a wink is an expression of interest and we wink back if we're interested too. 99% of those winks seem to disappear into the abyss  |

Yeah if interested I would wink back but then usually it goes nowhere ..so kinda don't get the whole wink thing to be honest if you like the person just send a decent first message you should get a reply x |

No one should expect a reply. A wink is just showing interest. |

I find the whole wink thing baffling, especially on the couples profile I have with the other half.
The number of times someone has winked so we’ve messaged and they just ignore is odd.
Plus three times now someone has winked, we’ve winked back, they’ve later winked again so we messaged, they ignore and then several months later wink again  |

"Some of us are not great with words (dyslexia) , and writing first messages can be difficult at times and that's when I fall back on the trusty wink"
Create a first message that you can send to everyone. Copy and paste it and just add some info about why you like their profile.  |

"I’ve had this happen today.
Got a wink this morning. Checked profile and liked what was there so winked back leaving it up to them to decide what to do next.
Nothing as of yet but time will tell."
Good luck mate |

I guess that's a possibility, knowing me I'd paste the wrong message , and you see people moaning about cooy and paste messages |

I wink and then within the hour have probably forgotten that I did.
Anyway, I thought everyone already knew the rules. If wink at someone and they wink back, this seals the contract  |

Interesting! I wonder what the terms of this contract are. |

"Sometimes people show an interest by sending a wink, but find it awkward to send the first message.
I generally send a thank yiu message to initiate a conversation. "
This. Being shy here isn't helpful to either of you. |

I enjoy the rare occasion that I get a wink. If I like their profile then I immediately message, thanking for the wink, then going on to say a little more about me and comments on their profile. I have met some lovely people from Fab all from a little wink.
Please wink away. |

I wink at those who I'm am interested in, if I receive one in response I will message thanking them for the wink, if I get no response then I Continue as though they are not interested and say no more, if I receive a wink first I will message saying thanks |

A wink is useful when:
A) the profile has pictures but virtually zero text or at least nothing that could be used to start a conversation. In these cases a wink is an invite to them to initiate a conversation, or
B) when I'm in a hurry and I've seen a profile that interests me and will come back later to write something more thoughtful. Although I do forget at times to do the latter. |
