Admin	Message Sent and Read, but No Reply Posted : 18 Oct, 2011 04:08 AM Guys, this seems like a simple question and answer. Perhaps I am thinking too much into it. If a girl sends you a well crafted message (because she read your profile and asked about things you wrote about), and there is no response on your part (either good or bad), does this mean: A. Not interested and not responding. B. Maybe interested but still not responding. C. Too busy to respond. D. None of the above - please explain. I think it was either A or C. My gut tells me they are not interested and do not want to say anything to be the bad guy in turning me down. But there is the possibility they read my message and had no time to get back to me. I just wanted to know how long should I wait before I forget about that potential match. Thanks for the insight. Post Reply

It could also be that he didn't like your questions or want to answer them for some reason. I have sent ladies an email that they read and didn't respond to until a few days later They say do not read a book by its cover - it seems like you can also not count too much on what a persons profile says. I have found some people are dishonest - but other times they just have very strange twists of character which you would never be able to anticipate based on what their profile says. Of course its futile and a waste of time and energy to speculate on something we can not know the answer to. It's kind of a common sense thing although it took me a while to figure out just how much that was true - but I think the majority of people on this site have some significant baggage or dysfunction - so if he does not reply - I think the best attitude to have is that is probably for your benefit.

Funny as that might sound I really didn't really understand that until I was considerably older than you. Also this brings to mind a couple of telephone conversations I have had with ladies I met on this site. They asked me some questions about my testimony which led me to think they were questioning whether the things I spoke about were really true. I didn't like that very much for obvious reasons. Of course if I knew exactly what your questions were I might have a better idea of whether or not that had anything to do with why he did not respond. However, even if you did ask a question seemed to be challenging my honesty or character - I "probably" would have answered it because I believe the truth is almost always important, but not everyone thinks that way.

View Profile History	Message Sent and Read, but No Reply Posted : 18 Oct, 2011 05:32 PM Miracleman, My questions are based on the profile text available for me to read. I do not question whether they are being honest. I just ask for more information based on what has already been stated. For example, if someone says they like traveling, a question I might ask is "where is the last place you visited on vacation?" Post Reply

People don't reply for a variety of reasons I usually give it a day or two and if no response I assume there won't be a response, but I don't think it helps to speculate on why. Post Reply

Do not give it any more Thought or any more of your Time! Like I said�if this man will not take the time or make the effort to read your Profile and Realize how Lucky he is and then try not to �Break any Bones� hurrying to answer you�well�he is not for you! I am also inclined to think that perhaps God is wanting you to �Keep your Nose on The Rose before the Proposal� ( does that make Sense?). I have a feeling that you may just find �That Guy��a few desks away from you. Any way�it has been my Pleasure meeting you and you have my Prayers as to all of your Intentions and I will Pray that God�s Will be Done towards you. Oh�and Thank You for �Wearing Our Colors�!
