Carie: It sounds like you've been very clear and honest. You are getting your feelings across very well. If you've written this in your profile and a man is emailing you looking for a serious relationship, he hasn't taken the time to read what you've written or respected your right to take the time you need before getting involved in another serious relationship. If he feels rejection, it is his own fault for not paying attention. If he thinks you're a floozy -- oh well. You don't need to be what a man (or anyone) wants you to be just so he will think well of you. It isn't your job to protect how he might interpret your honesty. Isn't that a freeing thought!
