Online Dating Etiquette-Responding to Unsolicted Response

by Jim McMenamin

Experienced online daters will tell you that the game begins once your inbox starts filling up with emails or notifications of interest. Depending on the online dating site you're using, the notifications will have different names, such as a wink or icebreaker.

You've gone through a lot of hard work to get your online dating profile set up. This is done for one specific reason; to get your profile to stand out among all the other profiles on the site. You're hoping that others will want to get in contact with you to find out a little more about you.

The culmination of all of this effort materializes in your email inbox. You should start getting unsolicited emails and notifications from people who are hoping to get to know a little more about you.

You open up the email, and you click the link to take a look at that person's profile. You try to decide if this is someone you may be interested in getting to know a little better. If so, I recommend you craft a response back to them in a prompt fashion.

That's the best case scenario; however, what is the proper etiquette for responding to someone that you're not interested in?

This question is up for debate among dating experts, with the schools of thought pretty evenly divided.

Option #1: Don't Respond

Some experts suggest that there is no need to respond back to someone that you just aren't interested in. They feel that you are under no obligation, and that this is one of the perks of using an online dating service. You can get to know as many people as you like, without having any strings attached.

Option #2: Respond

Put yourself in their shoes. If you found someone of interest you would send them an email (or wink) over to them to show your interest. You're not expecting this person to drop everything that they're doing to respond to you, but you are hoping to hear something back in a timely fashion.

We're all grown ups, and rejection is a part of life. We don't enjoy it, but in dating it's just a part of the process. I would rather be told no than to than to not get any response at all.

I think it's just as easy to take a few minutes of your time to respond back. Although I'm a big fan of personalizing each correspondence I make, in this instance I don't see the need to do so. Just come up with a set response, save it as a file, and copy and paste it into emails as needed.

Here's an example that you can use:

"Thank you very much for your interest. I'm flattered to hear from you, but after taking a few minutes to read through your profile, you don't seem to share many of the interests that are important to me. Good luck with your dating search and best wishes!"

You've given the person the common courtesy of a response while at the same time you've let them know that you're not interested. If they decide to respond back asking why, I think at that point you're not under any obligation to respond.


How difficult is that?

Send Out Positive Frequencies When Dating

by Terry Detty

It has been said that the Law of Attraction can manifest itself in matters of wealth, health, and happiness. Part of the happiness is having fulfilling relationships. These can be romantic love relationships or familial relationships or simple friendships. The Law of Attraction affects them all.



Whether you are trying to put the Law of Attraction to use in your life or not, it is always at work. You are always putting out vibrations into the universe. They are always collecting with like energies and coming back to you.



The difference when you deliberately use the Law of Attraction is that you focus on the things you want. Then, these positive things return to you. What you give your attention to is what becomes important in your life.



Once something becomes important to you, you will develop an excitement about it. That excitement will turn into a power that is greater than any you can drum up by simply repeating words about what you want. The Law of Attraction works in relationships as well as it does in anything else.



By deliberately using the Law of Attraction, you can find that special person you are looking for. One step is to determine what it is you want from a mate. Make a list. Write down strengths you would like the person to have. Write down joys you would like to share.



Once you have a more concrete idea of what you want, the universe will bring you to your mate through the Law of Attraction. This will happen through matching of frequencies. You send out the frequency of what you want. That vibration goes out and collects with other frequencies like it. In other words, it matches.



When your frequency is vibrating in concert with another frequency, it will only be a matter of time before you meet someone. The Law of Attraction will be at work. At this point, you should follow your hunches. If you have the urge to do something on a different schedule than usual, then do it. This may be how you find your mate.



Just let the Law of Attraction do its work. Continue to reaffirm in your mind the fact that the person you are looking for exists. Believe that you will find that person. Draw your attention and excitement to the subject. Things will happen.



Other relationships work on the theory of matching as well. You put out energy towards a person in your life. That energy can be for or against them. Whatever energy you send them will match whatever energy in them that is like that frequency. You will get the result you expect. This is the Law of Attraction.



If you are feeling down, the Law of Attraction will supply you with a companion in despair. As the two of you spiral down, you will be better off if you decide to let the Law of Attraction work for you instead of against you. Find ways that your frequencies can vibrate in harmony in a positive way. This will strengthen and lengthen friendships like nothing else.



Your relationships can develop into more than they ever were before. Your friendships can be deeper. You can live in harmony with your relatives. Your love interests can become life-long partners. The Law of Attraction can make it all come true.

Marriages in a Church

by Suzie Smith

When two people get married whether in a civil ceremony or religious one, it is called a wedding; the ceremony has seen a large change in attitude over the last decade. Although the service may be quite lengthy and involved, it is not complete until the legal aspect is fulfilled; until the marriage certificate is signed by the bride, groom and witnesses, the ceremony is not finalized. The man getting married is called the groom or bridegroom to give him his full title and the woman the bride; after the ceremony they become a wife and a husband, respectively.
Marriages in a Church

Wedding traditions and customs vary greatly between cultures, ethnic groups, religions, countries, and social classes. Performed by a Christian priest or vicar, the Church ceremony continues to be top of the list as a venue. These ceremonies are usually referred to as white weddings and are considered formal or semi-formal in the United Kingdom, Ireland and United States, as well as some other Commonwealth countries.

Twin Ceremonies

A different type occasion often difficult to arrange is where two couples are married simultaneously; ceremonies such as this are usually instigated by siblings who like the idea of a simultaneous marriage.

Destination Weddings

These days it is easy for couples to arrange a wedding in another country and have the guests travel to them with the honeymoon continuing afterwards; as a wedding option it can work out considerably less expensive this way.

Weekend Weddings

Weekend weddings are becoming popular and in Ireland they take place over the course of three days. Special activities, such as spa treatments and golf tournaments, are scheduled into the itinerary for guests' enjoyment throughout the weekend. For many people that have outdoor interests this can be a lot of fun and the guests can stay for the weekend with them to extend the occasion.

Online Weddings

Although unusual, you can even get married online and it will resemble a normal wedding or you can even have characters of yourselves get married; internet companies specializing in this type of ceremony are there to help you with your marriage. This can prove a useful tool where relatives and friends from around the world can see an online wedding take place in real time without actually being there!

City Hall Weddings Local civil authority services are called civil weddings as they do not take place in a church and must be performed by a locally elected or appointed official. These ceremonies do not normally make any reference to God as they are a legal ceremony only. Often, this type of service will take place in a judge's chambers, town or city hall or any other specially designated place.

The weddings discussed here are primarily based around Christian beliefs but each religion and culture has their own traditions in this area.

Life After Divorce - Are you Stuck or Moving Forward After Your Divorce?

by

One of the most important steps that divorced parents can take before getting remarried is to let go of the strong emotions from their divorce. These are the emotions that hold us prisoners to our thoughts. They keep us focused on what "was", "what could have been", or "what should have been". There's little room for "what can be."

Moving past these emotions, is, of course, a lot easier said than done. Unfortunately, there's no magic pill that suddenly makes you feel better. It's the "going through" that helps us to grow. This month, I'd like to take a look at three of the most common feelings experienced by divorced parents and discuss why it's important to put those to rest.

SADNESS

Sadness comes from many situations in a divorce. It can be when you realize that the hopes and dreams you had for the future with your spouse have died. For some people this sadness comes while they're still in the marriage and realize it's dying. Sadness occurs during the divorce when everyone is forced to acknowledge the fact that the marriage is ending. After the divorce, it's usually brought on by trying to help the children deal with the changes in their lives as well as grieving the loss of the family you had.

What's the problem with being sad?

Once again, the problem lies in the amount of time and also the intensity. Adults deal with grief most strongly at the point when the incident occurs. We have ups and downs, but usually are on a healing path as time moves forward. If we just continue to fall deeper and deeper into sadness, depression may strike - effecting every area of our lives.

Depression prevents us from being there emotionally for our children. The sadness also puts you at risk for isolating yourself at a time when you may really need supports. Friends may try to encourage you to go out and have fun, but you refuse. This only escalates your feelings of sadness because you are alone.

LONELINESS

Adjusting to being alone after marriage is a hard task. We become used to having another adult in the house even if they weren't especially helpful. There's a comfort level to knowing somebody else is there. That's gone once the spouse moves out during the divorce. You are left alone with the children. Then when the kids are spending time with your ex-spouse, that leaves you ALONE.

What's the problem with being lonely?

Loneliness can be especially dangerous for a newly divorced parent. This is the driving force behind people rushing into a new relationship. It can be uncomfortable to sit at home by yourself on a weekend while the kids are with your ex. Climbing into an empty bed every night can be hard.

While hard, this is a HUGE predictor in remarriage success or failure. People who rush into a new relationship due to fears of being alone aren't very choosy. They also haven't taken a good look at themselves to see what went wrong in their marriage. Both of those factors combined create an ideal situation for ending up in a relationship with someone very much like your ex-spouse. On the surface they make look like the complete opposite, but deep down, they're probably very similar.

ANGER

This is usually the one that people are willing to talk about. I don't know too many people who've gone through a divorce and smiled about it throughout the whole process. There are countless reasons why anger comes up no matter who initiated the divorce.

After the divorce, anger can continue to infiltrate your life. You may be upset about your ex-spouse's relationship with your children. You may be angry about your changed financial situation. Feeling angry with everything that's changed in your life as a result of the divorce is normal.

What's the problem with being angry?

The short answer is "nothing." Everyone's entitled to be upset. Divorce is a major, life changing event. We don't usually like too much change at once. The problem is when the level of anger you feel stays the same or intensifies over time.

Remember the old saying, "Time heals all wounds"? There is a lot of truth to that. If you're not "healing" then you're getting stuck. That anger won't allow you to be the parent you need to be. It also won't allow you to be the partner you need to be in future relationships.

While each of these emotions are very normal and to be expected - it's all up to you and how you handle them in deciding if you're moving toward a place of growth or a place of repeating the past. No one enjoys these feelings and for some us it's even hard to admit that we have them. But, trying to ignore them by jumping into a new relationship in hopes of skipping over them just doesn't work. What you'll end up with is another broken heart and possibly another broken marriage

A great way to know if you've let go of the anger is the Special Report: "I'm Just So Mad! Dealing with the Anger of Divorce."

3 Steps To Finding Love Online

by Vivian Johnson

What is the point of joining an online dating site if not to find love? Here are the 3 steps to finding love online...

First-Find the right online dating site for you. There are tons to choose from so take your time and be sure.

Second-Once you have found the site/s you are interested in, set up your profile. You can use the same profile on all of the sites you join.

Take your time selecting your photo, and your user name. Also, you will need to complete the Profile Essay questions which will give your "admirers" a little more insight into who you are. Answer these as truthfully as possible, within reason.

You should also have space for your creative side. Here you can add a little bit of "you". Include an excerpt from your favorite sonnet...of a lyric from a song you wrote...a few of your favorite movie quotes. Anything that adds to who "you" are.

Third-You must know what you want to find online. If you are uncertain, do not put up a profile. If you put up a profile without a sense of direction, you will be a "catch all". You will receive emails from every walk of life. If you do not take the time to be specific you will waste a lot of time sorting out the email. Which means you will not have time to pursue or be pursued by "the one". Do not let anyone you are not interested in monopolize your time.

If you will take these 3 steps into consideration, you will save yourself a lot of time and frustration when it comes to finding love online.
