Match.com emails

[FTS123]

I've just gone back onto match and had a few emails....I'm not interested in any if them but feel rude not replying. What's a nice way to let them down gently? Or should I just ignore? I sent one yesterday to someone I thought was lovely but had no reply, so maybe ignoring is the way it's done?! Any OLdaters with any advice??

If the message contains txt spk, calls you 'babe', 'hun', 'gorgeous' or 'sexy' etc - just ignore.

If it's from someone who has clearly read your profile and seems genuinely interested - a polite thanks, but no thanks.

If it's from someone who is outside of your search parameters - ignore

Unless they have acknowledged they're outside your search parameters and have explained why they contacted you (e.g. you have a shared interest) - a polite thanks, but no thanks..

I suppose it depends how many emails you get. I didn't get loads on Match, but I chatted with and met up with most of the men I did chat to to any degree. But that's because my photos weren't sexy and my profile was really honest. I knew I was going to limit the number of men who contacted me, but that's what I wanted to do.

Thanks folkgirl that's helpful...I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings!!
