Why is that when most men are done communicating with a woman on here they give you the silent treatment. Do they not have the balls to say straight up to women.... I don't think we are a match and move on? Or is that women act very badly and nasty when they are rejected and that is why men give you the silent treatment? confused dunno I have rejected and I have been rejected..... why do people take it so personal? I do understand that it takes tact in letting someone know your not interested, but why the childish behavior? Why not just shake hands and move on!handshake dunno

I don't know why they do that unless like you say , and let her know in some way that it isn't working for him, it's very rude. Maybe it's immaturity or something. I am sorry you have to deal with them too, I know I sure have also.

Tact is a lost art.

I usually don't send many messages out myself, but if I do, I tend to consider it polite if they say something back, even if just to say you're not interested.

But sometimes, the silent treatment is just something that happens. There's not much you can do about, unfortunately. dunno

Where is the fun in that? Besides, that would just make life simply too easy.

Well I think we have all had to deal with this in some fashion.... whether it be no response at all to either a flower or a message... Or talking with someone for a longer period of time..... and all seems to be going just fine at least you think so but then you stop getting responses from that person...all together.... I mean I can take a hint and am not going to continue to pursue anyone that is not interesed in me for me....Just don't understand the mentality I guess of the silent treatment...sigh

i normally keep conversations going even if i'm not interested. in all honesty, it's good to still have a friend.

as for the whole rejection thing, people take it personally because they feel inadequate, probably due to being rejected on multiple occasions. or due to self image/esteem issues, etc.
it can't be helped sometimes if someone takes it personally.

speaking from experience i was terrified of rejection when i was younger. so it hindered my ability to ask people out on dates etc. and when i was rejected it seemed like my whole world had shattered because there was something wrong with me

but growing up i realize, some people just need to be compatible. and if you're not what someone is looking for tough luck. but that doesn't mean you're less of a person, just means there's someone else out there for you

I used to do the same thing.. Now I just take the risk and ask, if they say no, it ain't my problem..cool

Usually, I later am grateful they said no..rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
