Here it is- If I am exchanging E-mails with someone I like and who seems to like me, and then they stop returning the messages, Should I give up? Should I ask why? I usually send 1 or 2 "how have you been" messages over 3 -4 days and if they don't respond I quit, any suggestions?

Not alot you can do about it. If I really like someone then I will return their messages within a reasonable time line. If I take 3-4 days..then I'm just not that interested. Keep trying and one may stick. wave

I don't know if you and she were carrying on more interesting conversation at some point. You say she seemed to like you. dunno If someone has been interesting to talk to but not pushy, I'll generally keep talking to him.

But without a good rapport already established, I generally reply to tedious questions with about as much effort as the question demonstrates:
What's up? --->>>> not much
How are you? --->>> OK
Hey --->>> hey

No these are usually good conversations with good rapport. I can usually tell when they're not going anywhere

Happens a lot, friend. Keep moving on and don't give it another thought, as long as you're sure you didn't say anything wrong. Many people find chatting over Y! or MSN tedious and one already has to have a high interest factor on you to keep chatting where they left off the day or few days before.
Not the first one and certainy not the last one I'm suredunno

You feel the vibes in the first emails,if she realy wants to know you better,her emails will be arriving, more or less, within 24 hours.

Do they understand with this sort of answers, that you are not interested?.-

Exchanging too many emails is getting boring, for some, after a while, you have tried talking on the phone?.-
