Search Results: photo sites

To honour you as a guest in my home I've slaved away all day over a hot stove to bake two great pies. Limpet pie and cockle pie. I'll be really upset if you refuse to eat one and it may cause an international incident.

So based on the two recipes in the photos (screenshots from a local recipe site) which one are you going to tuck into?

Elsewhere on the site there's a woman questioning the conduct of her boyfriend who has irrational controlling & anger issues about her children's father & becomes livid over something as simple as a photo of father & children being the ex's contact ID photo.

And it got me thinking.

This is extremely common.
How single mothers get involved with men who are pretty much strangers. Ask any police officer or social worker & they'll tell you it's as common as beach sand.

.

Single mothers "dating" men who are more or less strangers and quickly bringing these strangers into their and worse their children's lives. The post I refer to the woman broke up with her ex 1.5 years ago & has been "dating" this current boyfriend for 8 of those months.

But she obviously doesn't know him from a hole in the wall (so probable more friends with benefits "dating") if she didn't realize that he has issues - as said obvious controlling & anger issues - and due to her ignorance bought a potential threat into her children's lives.

Such behavior, all around, indicates a poor ability to make

A long time ago when I used dating sites, I would receive introductory messages by men who would say something like, "I love your photo, tell me more about you," or just plain old, "Hi."

At first I chose not to reply to any of the men I had no interest in. But I would get many of them pestering me with, "I sent you a message. The least you can do is thank me for it instead of leaving me hanging."

So I considered this, and decided to give all men from that point the courtesy of a reply. My reply was, "Thank you for your message, but I don't believe we are compatible. Good luck with your search." Sometimes it was merely a "I received your message. Good luck with your search."

But then I was sent angry responses back such as, "What's your problem? / You don't even know me. / Yeah. No wonder you're single."

As you can tell, I was damned if I did, damned if I didn't.

Even though I'm out of the dating pool, this has often left me wondering how GaG members handled first-approach dating app messages? Do you believe you should send all who are interested a response of some sort? Or do you think you simply don't owe everyone a reply? What do you say or not say?
