I recently have been having at least some moderate success with females responding back to my messages. This is the first step so no complaints there.
The problem is that (and this has become all too typical) at some point we both just stop communicating. Obviously it is no doubt that I am putting more effort into keeping the back and forths going by having each message I send be a decent length and asking several questions about them, or at least ending the message with a question. But it seems like women just stop communicating randomly. Why would they do this if they initially decided to respond back?
In a nutshell, at what point is it ok to ask for a brief get together? I find that maybe it's the internet thing that gives us limited things to talk about. Every date I've ever been on involved the two of us talking for hours and enjoying each others company, but online it seems different.
So if it seems like we are starting to hit a road block, should I just mention that it might be a good idea to meet up? I know with some women I should just move on and try another, but please don't lead me to believe that I should ONLY have the move on mind set. I am tired of that. Any thoughts?

It's not about you, or you "doing something" or "not doing something".

It's about them and whatever else is going on in their life that most probably has nothing to do with dating, if it does ... it's still about them and what's going on in their head. IMO

This has happened to me so many times in this site, we start emailing and all is great on the first emails for 2 or 3 days and then all of the sudden they stop, they don't get on line anymore or they block you, why they do this I don't know, but I have learn is not me making any mistakes to make them stop writing me, my opinion is if someone is not able to keep communication with you just move on some other person will like to converse with you, so please don't think is your fault they are not writing back, some people are just like this and I think not even them selves understand why.

Manoffewwords has it, I think. the conversations stop, because their PURPOSE was to lead to a meeting, and you just kept talking. If meeting up is the goal, then pursue that, and don't get caught up in the number of emails you send.

I'm guilty of that and no I am not a scammer - I think the first few days you are on a high - typing away, answering questions, but then you start to second guess, "am I being to forward, Have I said to much, maybe the person might not like what I say, or have misintepreted what I say..." but I also know that If I actually sent a hello to that person, he will respond - cheers

I am basically in that mindset. I have been talking to someone who actually agreed to meet up in the city near me. We talked briefly until I mentioned the idea and she was definitely into it. Why just stop talking then? This is just one of those unexplained things where you just have to shrug and not know the answer to.

i hear ya. I don't like it to be only emails back and forth. At some point things need to progress into a get together even if it's brief because there just aren't things you can say to each other or connect on online that there ARE in person. That's kinda my point all along...

Not saying that all of them are like that, but I think that many of them are employed by agencies, who collecting email addresses and maybe some other information about you!

I receive many post in my private email from eastern Europe countries, and when I ask the ladies where there got my address from, they have told me that they have bought it from an agency!

Best way of blocking them is to allow only email from people who are in your address book. Thunderbird (from mozilla) has got this feature and it saves me a lot of trouble and time. Just make sure that if you want to receive email from an "unknown" (to your address book) person that you put her(his) email address in or you write to her (him) first.

Another reason could be that people just loose interest and do not want to explain why. I am guilty at charge as well, not only because I am too lazy, but the other person might feel offended and it is difficult to find suitable words for this kind of situation.
