    Thats complete bull to be honest. If girls did more asking there not be so many single girls/guys IMO.

    and then there are the girls that ask and they get the "ah I'll see" response from guys!

    That reponse usually means No. I'd always give a straight answer.

    Give him sometime, he might not of got the message. If he did then put him on your ignore list and move on, think of it as a lucky escape and you didn't waste your time back and forth with him.

    Internet dating not really working out for me, and I've tried a paid and a free site. This weekend I was asked by someone 15 years younger than me if I'd be interested in something casual (despite what my profile says) :mad: and then someone else sent me a message saying 'it's because of your curves' which I think is a response to the OKC question 'what is the first thing people notice about you' :rolleyes: I'm fed-up tbh.

    You meet all sorts on these sites, you just have to filter out the idiots to the genuine boys.

    He could have already logged off when you sent the message, there is a period when it will say you are online when you actually have just logged off. Or he could have had something come up so he had to log out. He could simply want to wait until the morning. Or maybe he just doesn't know what to think. Or yes, maybe he just won't answer. But he is just one guy, don't let one response or lack of response decide what you do in future.

    Just because the lads here are suggesting that more girls ask more guys out doesn't mean that it will mean guaranteed replies saying yes. Any person that asks people out online (or offline either) will get negative replies. One (potential) negative reply shouldn't stop you asking others. If I stopped asking people out due to negative replies, I'd have stopped 10 years ago when I was 15!

    To be honest, it can simply just take some people time to respond to things; I don't usually respond to stuff immediately, as it can be a bit of effort writing up a response there and then if I'm not in the right mood (I usually prefer to take the time to write out a full proper reply).

    Just needs a bit of time/patience, and a way to distract yourself from it so there's no risk of overthinking it; can mess with your head if you let yourself think on it too much.

    Hmmm, some of you may recall a couple of weeks ago when i was really stressed out having had an excellent first date with someone only for her to suddenly disappear off the radar and completely ignore me? Well now that I've moved on, guess who decides to email me today saying she's sorry! :rolleyes:
    Pfft, women. Between that ex of mine who kept texting me during the beers and now this, I wonder do they sense me being happy and decide they want to drag me back to fretting about them.

    A very good looking girl visited my POF page just a few minutes ago. Thought I'd send her a mail. It won't let me as she "is not accepting messages from someone of your age or gender".
    ROFL :D Refine your searches girl!

    "had a lot of things up in the air the last month."

    I'd take that to mean she had a fair few first dates, you are better off without her IMO

    or maybe she lost her job, or someone died, etc etc.
    if she's showing interest, then don't rule it out. you can have as many first dates as you want to.

    True but if any of the above happened a mail or text to say you arent going to be around much wouldnt take that much time, its a consideration thing, in my opinion,

    you're right, it wouldn't. but at that moment, they're still strangers, and maybe she didn't want to share much with a stranger.
