Big_John: I could never be with someone that I couldn't listen and talk with for hours on end. When I have met someone I find my dates last for hours and hours because the time flies. I usually cut the exchanges off quickly when I feel 'we' can't talk, listen and communicate easily.


i agree completely. If they can't carry on a conversation i lose interest and move on. dancing

nicki_love: Ok.. so I'm talking to someone these days and we cant get past four lines of proper conversation before I get bored. I mean, he asks the same questions every single time we chat and when I try to ask him stuff.. his answers are usually quite short and general.. Not much of a conversationalist! I know everyone cant be great at that but if you are looking for that special someone online, the only thing we really have is verbal / written communication.. how in the world do you expect to attract a woman when you cant even hold her attention for more than 15 minutes?


I don't try to hold her attention for 15 minutes,
I'm busy holding other things...

Besides it's 50/50 it's time a women holds my attention?

I assume this thread means he is history. to be honest I never needed her attention for more than three minutes!!.
But maybe thats why I am on my own!!.

No, I agree, I'm not meaning to be nasty either - both the people concerned might just be being polite and not wishing to offend each other, but if that's the case it'll just take one to stop replying and it'll fizzle out with no hard feelings, I'd think

Part of the problem is that online women are understandably cautious and suspicious of men they don't already know who contacts them. The least little hint of possible wierdness or personality incompatibility is enough to provoke instant rejection.

So in contacting a woman who they don't know, the guys have to walk a very thin line. On the one side they risk seeming to be overbearing, opinionated, and/or invasive, on the other side they risk seeming to be boring. And preferring to err on the side of caution, they generally present their "Clark Kent" disguise rather than to reveal their "Superman" identity prematurely.

Try demonstrating that you aren't overly timid or about meeting them and they'll open up more easily. Then you'll have a better idea who they really are.

There's no risk, because it's just as easy to block them from contacting you later as it is at the beginning.

Of course some guys really are Clark Kent and will never be anything but boring.

Sorry about the double posting.

The first time I clicked nothing happened for a couple of seconds and then it took just as I clicked again.
