Author	Thread: Never responding to a message?
Admin	Never responding to a message? Posted : 11 Jun, 2012 05:36 PM Okay, so usually I don't message guys on here first. Unless I really relate to something they've posted on their profile or whatever, I will normally wait for them to message me first. I never had good experiences when I made the first move with guys and I always ended up humiliated and hurt. I think it looks bad for a girl to be "chasing" a guy, so I figure that if they see my profile and they're interested, then they'll message me. And if it's meant to be, it'll happen. I try to have a really laid-back attitude about this whole thing. But when I go out on a limb and put myself out there, such as emailing a guy whose profile I really liked, then I always end up getting ignored. What happened? This has happened more than once. I'll come across some guy's profile and they'll say something funny that makes me laugh, or I see that we have a lot of the same interests, etc. so I go ahead and message him casually just to say hello and introduce myself. A few days later when I log back in, I see that they've read my message and viewed my profile but never replied. Am I just nobody's type or am I doing something wrong? Is it normal for guys not to respond? I usually try and respond to anyone who messages me at least once... Post Reply

On CDFF, the majority of scammers who have contacted me list their location as somewhere in the US, but then tell me they had to move to Ghana. Thats when I cut off all contact. Post Reply

Posted : 28 Nov, 2012 03:43 PM I am a little late on this but I have experienced being ignored myself and I just wanted to share my 2 cents. Being ignored does not take anything anyway from me, it does not make me any less of a wonderful person BUT I am new here and I just expected better from guys who call themselves Christians. I do not feel that I am over-aggressive contacting a guy first. I contact a guy if he just seems like a nice or interesting person ... not necessarily because I want him to be a potential mate. Ignoring contact from someone who is not a match is NOT Christlike! If you are not interested in anything less than a potential match - JUST SAY SO. It is possible to meet people here who may make a meaningful contribution to your Christian walk, even if it does not lead to a date or long term relationship. You may get the opportunity to make such an impact on someone's life. Post Reply
joethe1 View Profile History	Never responding to a message? Posted : 17 Sep, 2021 08:48 PM Hi Admin! Lots of guys get many women visiting their pages that never respond or initiate contact either. I happen to be one of them Having said that, even when I do initiate contact, especially with American ladies, they usually never respond, they read my message but ignore, or leave me on unread for months on end. So, you're not alone. I think people tend to get scared of responding because they think it would be rude to say something like"Sorry, but I'm not into you", especially if they've never met in person so they ghost or ignore the person sending the message. This is why I've personally started to lean in the direction of dating irl--it's a real person, they usually live not far from you, they can't just disappear whenever they like, AND they have a shot at seeing the REAL you, not the VIRTUAL you!
