penpal problem
I put a post up on a penpal website looking for a Japanese penpal to correspond with so I could improve my Japanese and they could improve their English. I specified that I was looking for a Japanese penpal but still recieved two emails from non-Japanese speaking people. I am not interested in corresponding with them but don't know whether to send them an email saying, "Sorry, but I'm looking for Japanese friends only." which seems rather rude or to ignore their email and not reply.
What should I do?

Just try it out! You might gain some new friends and you might like them. And if you don't end up liking them, you can always let the emails die down.
You should probably email them back and tell them you were looking for Japanese penpals only to improve your Japanese and you're not looking for other penpals (Or maybe you don't have the time). It would suck if they were always waiting for an email from you and never got it.
Or...you can just ignore it if you like. They'll probably figure out that you were busy, or maybe something happened to the email, or it wasn't the correct email address anymore, or something like that.
Hope it works out!

Try to keep in touch with them, and let contact just die down. You may find that they're really cool people.
Or, if you absolutely don't want to, tell them that while you appreciate that they were interested, the only reason you got on the site was to find someone to practice Japanese with, and that you don't want to pursue any other pen pal opportunities besides that.
Or you could just ignore them. That's the easiest, and the most common way of doing things. Kind of rude, but easy.

It it my opinion that the more appropriate and polite thing to do would be to respond to their reply. It won't take but a few minutes, and it would be very much appreciated by them, I'm shore of it. Place yourself in their shoes... wouldn't you feel insulted if you had no response?? Probably so. :)

hmm...i think you should open both emails and write something like--
"Hey how are you? im ____. Well i was really looking for a Japanese Friend so i could improve my Japanese while they could improve there English,sorry about this. But another person e-mailed me and i think you two could become penpals! her e-mail adress is _____@____.____ i hope you two get to know each other! And again,im very sorry about this
Sincerly,
___________ "

i think that you should, take the time to just talk & e-mail them back. Send one e-mail and just talk about, whatever really. But at the bottom say "i`m really sorry but i didn`t mean to find you as a penpal, i was really looking for a Japaneese speaking person, for a specific reason". I`m sure they should be mad or insulted!? you did tell the truth..
hope this helps!
