DEEDEE72 View Profile History	Online conversation etiquette? Posted : 13 Dec, 2012 12:49 PM Hello All, Question: How do you handle online conversations where you get a wink. Respond by asking a question , get a response to the question but no follow-up question for you? Personally I try to ask a question on something in the profile or at the very least ask them to tell me about themselves. I have found with people who just answer what I ask but don't send any follow-up questions, tend to fizzle out and go no where. Anyone had similar experiences? Or suggestions on keeping conversations moving? Post Reply
View Profile History	Online conversation etiquette? Posted : 13 Dec, 2012 07:37 PM I can usually tell by the first couple of emails if they are interested. If I ask them questions and they only response with a one word or two word answer... then I doubt it will go anywhere. I usually try to initiate contact with someone by talking about common interests we both have. Then I ask them about their selves. Their hobbies, likes/dislikes etc. You can usually tell after the first couple of messages... whether it will go anywhere or not. Post Reply

Invitation is the best way but not the safest way. It can set one up for rejection but I believe it shows a woman a man is strong when he invites her. But no more invitations from me because this man is called for. For those I wasnt interested in I would thank them for the wink. Post Reply
DontHitThatMark View Profile History	Online conversation etiquette? Posted : 14 Dec, 2012 07:54 AM When I was talking to women on here, I would usually try to ask 2 or 3 questions in one message and let them know to feel free to ask me whatever they wanted to know. Then we would respond to the other's responses and questions, so it would be like 6 topics every time. It just felt like it made the conversations more interesting or something, more like a letter than a message. Usually that didn't last long, either we would become more comfortable and message normally, or lose interest, so it also seemed to cut to the chase a lot quicker. :peace::peace: Post Reply

Usually if it's just thanks for the wink..I don't respond back...but if it's care to chat? I always answer with a question they have to answer like...what do you like to do for fun in hobocan minn? or I see from ur profile you like horses...do you ride often...have you seen certaing movies, that I've seen..I hate it when I get one word responses or I don't like movies! Can't imagine any well rounded person not likeing movies! (lol) or books. If they say they rarely read..I would respond with what do you do in your spare time then? I always said read something everyday, whatever it is, the bible, novel,newpaper, magazine...you will learn something new, and I think that is important...sorry for the novel... Post Reply
