Here's another question for online daters. I was having this discussion with a friend yesterday and she said that it's better to just ignore people who write to you that you aren't interested in. She said that's the kinder thing to do. I said I try my best to at least send back a quick email thanking them, but letting them know we wouldn't be a match. I think that's the kinder approach.
Thoughts?

I used to try to write back and say nicely thanks but no thanks. But what happened is I would get really pissed-off replies back from the guys, some quite irate, even though I couched things in the nicest terms possible.
So now I simply ignore those I'm not interested in. I guess a rejection, however nicely put, is still too painful online, and some of those guys scared me with their responses.
