When I get a response from someone the conversations seem to die quickly. What can I do to keep them alive and going?

maybe they are busy at the time, just be patient, and keep move on to send us messages. Just keep on trying. Don't give up. :winksmile:

Some people just don't really want to talk to you. They respond a few times initially to be nice, but aren't really interested in talking. I've had this happen to me. If the other person wants to talk, they would try to keep up the conversation as well. It shouldn't just be one sided.

Maybe she is talking to someone else. Often times

Women have many messages on here from men.

Or maybe she just lost interest. IMO

In my case, I want to go one with the conversations but I am not online all the time ( I don't have internet connection at home) so most of the time it takes time for me to respond. Because of these they guys are the one who stops sending messages. :(

I personally find it hard to keep up a conversation if a man doesn't ask me any questions, doesn't lead the conversation. First he initiates the contact, introduces himself - and if his profile seems interesting to me I'm open to give it a go, so I answer with the similar introduction and ask a question or two. And then if in the next few messages he just keeps answering my questions but never asks me something - it turns me off. I wonder then why he contacted me at the first place if he wants me to lead the conversation.

The same thing goes for the opposite - when a man asks a lot of questions but hardly share anything about himself. It feels more like job interview then a conversation on a dating site. I don't mind answering questions but it's a lot more fun to do when a man shares the same information about himself first.

I think I'm just going to give up altogether. It's hard enough finding a girl that'd be compatible AND close enough without having to fulfill some arbitrary expectations on what my message should contain and how long it should be. Out of the probably forty or so women I've messaged over the last three years, maybe 5 have responded - that's 35 who considered me unworthy of a reply. Or to put it another way; a huge waste of my time.

I see both sides have a good point here. I often find due to the lack of engagement most have on here. Even in the live chat rooms and chat forums -- frustrating and irritating. I mean come on -- out of 500 or more views on some of these topics and on average it's about 18 Max on replies... if that, for a topic. I came on being open here and taking my free time to reach out to some of these people and your going to not even going to give a reply? Or give a chance to know me before you decided I'm not worth it and instead Your just ignore me or flat out reject me?



It's like most want a man or woman companion but don't want the baggage that is involved with that... Also how in the world is God choosing someone. He intended for you, if your refusing to be opened minded and are choosy, picky, and. Closed minded on who your even talk too. I'm finding more and more that this isn't "Christian" dating then political correct dating.





On the other hand I see how you have to keep it interesting.
