I agree with the above but I think it might be not the whole reason. I think there might be other reasons too.
(1)Shyness or insecurity - Mailing especially is easier for a shy person but when it comes to meeting up it all becomes too real for a person who is shy or may be insecure about the impression they will make or fear rejection (2) Emotional scarring, some people who think they are ready to return to dating scene realise at last moment they are not (3) Is this a dating site or a social site or both? - Some folks are only here for friendship and the forums - All of a sudden people start talking about dates frightens them off keeping contact.
In all of the above situations, 100% honesty is required, tell the other person why you are making this decision. By being honest the whole way through, nobody gets hurt in the way that indecisiveness and play acting can wound. People will recover easier from a failed attraction/crush as opposed to the doubts that creep in after a person shies away from meeting. We are all human - Is it me will definitely start in your subconcious psyche and in the cases I mentioned that is not the intention of the refusal to meet.

...Shyness can truly imprison a person, from exploring a potential date, and yes, the social connection via mail and forums can create friendship bonds.
Thanks to all who replied, and their imput, very much appreciated.

.....I Guess there are both men/women who play games, it is trying to sift through who are and who aren't genuine, which is daunting, and a sheild forms around a person not to express too much too soon, which is a good way to be, yet wondering when to trust, relax is cofusing at times.

I don't know why this is, either. Often I'll answer an e-mail that someone I've never had contact with before has sent, and he or she never responds. I don't get it.

I can be exceedingly bad at continuing correspondance with people with whom I´m corresponding with on CS... Usually the corresponding has NOT been started by me but even so it´s no excuse...

I was trying to work out why I do that ... Sometimes, I get busy in real life, and by the time I get on line their message is burried under loads of others, sometimes I don´t feel like writing and just wanna chill on the forums, sometimes I lose interest and forget the messages I read have not been answered doh

I am not looking right now (and it says so in my profile), so I don´t see my correspondance as something building towards a relationship



dunno

Very true Eaglewoman, the confusion I find is when the correspondence has moved onto phonecalls and texting, for quite some time...antisipation of meeting on both sides...then BLANK!!!...no reason, no warning, just gone....
