WHY DO THEY SEEM INTERESTED AND THEN THEY DON'T RESPOND TO YOUR EMAIL.. ( Archived) (50)

EVERYTIME I GET A MESSAGE FROM SOME GUY, HE SEEMS INTERESTED AND THEN WHEN I RESPOND TO HIS EMAIL,,,I DON'T HEAR ANYTHING AGAIN.....I AT LEAST REPLY BACK, IF I AM NOT INTERESTED I LET THEM KNOW...WHAT IS GOIN ON?

Do you respond back in all caps? In the world of chat and forums, caps are considered yelling.

Just a suggestion...

I certainly wouldn't know because I very seldom get replies from women I write to. They open my email and that's it. I never get so much as a "Thanks but no thanks". It's like sending emails into a black hole.

If I couldn't actually see that the email was opened I would begin to assume that they just never got it. Obviously they must have read it, checked out my profile and decided that I didn’t match what they've been fantasizing about. So rather than respond they just chalk me off as something they aren't interested in and go on about their daily lives.

I think people tend to treat other people on the Internet as objects. Kind of like window shopping. If you aren't interested in something you just move on to the next window, you don't extend any courtesies to the items you aren't interested in. (ha ha)

I've learned a long time ago not to take anything personal on the Internet because people don't treat people like people on the Internet. They treat them like icons to be clicked on and deleted if you're not interested. They save any courtesies for only those people they care to identify with. The rest they treat like action figures in a computer simulated game. If they could they would probable just blow up all the profiles they aren't interested in.

But I can assure you that this behavior is not gender dependent. It appears to be a pretty common behavior across the board.

Abra is right. Both men and women receive emails and never reply.

Not sometime to be taken personally.

Rats, I meant something LOL

This is my perspective, having lived the same responses or lack thereof..... Some people are interested in nothing more the quantity as opposed to quality, meaning that they put out lots of "test feelers", see which ones respond, filter to what they consider to be their "target areas". Consider yourself to be sympathetic, since, at least you respond to those to whom you are and are not attracted..

Oh Joanie, maybe that's why I did not respond to your letter so quick....I thought you were saying....."we should get together something....and you meant sometimes.....just teasing...

Or maybe we should get some thing together but I'm not quite sure which thing it should be LOL

Are you giving them anything to respond to? I literally got an email once that said "Hi". Nothing more. Um nope, that one's going in the block pile.

Asking questions? They might have difficulty thinking of something to type back.

And I don't like to assume, but hoping you weren't mentioning marriage or having his babies on the first reply.
