Are men just flirting?
Posted : 15 Apr, 2010 11:41 PM

Have communication usually initiated by the man.

Then when I show some interest, they don't respond anymore. Are they just flirting or just trying to get a response out of me?

'nobleone'- I fell you sis... I think it's that men are visually wired. Some (not all) tend to look at the pictures first and email/wink without reading the profile.



This venue is different than dating in real life. People show interest and than just disappear. Don't take it personally or get discouraged.



Hope that helps,

Lissa

Sad to say that even Christians do that, maybe that's the way they are - just trying to see if they're still attractive to the opposite sex? Just now someone send a wink to me and when I read his profile out of curiosity, it says that he is now engaged to be married with Jennifer Santos, wow, don't know what to say or think.

If it is wink, then I may wink in return.

If it is casual conversation on their end, then I keep it casual.

If the emails continue, then I am thinking there is some sort of interest on their part, especially when they say there is, so I continue to respond. Not sure If they are wanting me to say more or what to think.



In Christ,

Patricia

Glad to hear others experience this too. How does a single woman find a relationship if men just say "hi" and act interested, then suddenly disappear? How do people make online dating work for them? Any thoughts? cD

I'm looking hard for a new relationship myself. I hope and prayer I find it.



Keep in mind that us guys are also watching and reading into your collective responses ... if you say in essence "not me, not now" then I am hearing that loudly ...



You need to be honest with us and honest with yourselves ... if you are interested in one of us you need to express that interest very directly ...



"You know sir, I am very much interested in you and I would really like to meet you in person some time soon ..."



That says to me I have a date if I can simply arrange for it!

To the original question....I wouldn't know. I try to talk to people even if I'm not interested in them. 1) because God's love is in my heart and the very LEAST I can do is seize any opportunity to encourage someone in their walk even if I'm not romantically interested in them. (I've felt that in return from..let's see...hmmm..how many people since I've been on here...?? It's 100% of the time the other person who drops me cold...) 2) because you can tell so little about someone from the internet. I don't want to prejudice myself into not liking someone from the little I can tell about them from this tiny narrow slit we are viewing each other through...

Sometimes men want to get to know as much as possible about a woman, just as I am sure that a woman wants to know about the man as well. We really should not agree to meet someone untill we learn as much as possible. But a man should not just drop out and not say anything. He should at least tell her that he is no longer interessted and why. God bles you and good luck!

Folks, MEN aren't just guilty of this PEOPLE do this kind of stuff all the time. They send mixed signals and you never know what's going on inside their heads. It's frustrating, but there's little you can do about it. Just avoid giving them the time of day should the opportunity arise.

The one thing that gets me genuinely frustrated is when I send a message to someone and they don't respond. I have been on maybe 8 or so sites in the past year and a half. I have received ZERO responses from anyone.



My messages are clean, simple, polite. My photo's straightforward, recent and quite G-rated. I'm a flirt, but not dirty in my communications. In spite of that, and in spite of the fact that I took a risk (yes, even in this medium it's a bit risky to open up to a total stranger and express how I feel), I do not get the same courtesy in return and even receive a polite rejection. No, not even on a Christian site. I, on the other hand, will respond to every message I receive out of respect for the lady in question, unless her msg is the icon of stupidity or craziness (one woman asked me to let her move in because she got into a fight with her daughter. Lord have mercy).



So ladies, you ain't the only ones who experience frustration in communicating with the opposite sex. Both sexes do the rude, stupid thing and unfortunately, in great frequency. Maybe that's why most of us here are still single? LOL
