hi,



I am pretty new to this online dating thing. I've been here about two months.

I started sending e-mails, right away.....didn't hear back.....no big deal so I moved on.

Now my contacts keep looking at my profile. No message, just every week or so one of them looks my way.....sure you can say it is my dress. But if read my profile, I have alot to say. So I'm......very confused.

Don't worry about it michelle. It's part of the way things seem to work here. We all get lots of looks with no emails from those who look. People, like me, have their email settings on any age and so if they are searching through matches all they see is a picture. If I were to go to your profile I wouldn't send you an email because of your age. We all have preferences regarding height, age, denomination, etc. Since there is no way to know that info without looking at your profile you will get lots of looks.

Thunder speaks the truth.





There is no way of getting any information without reading your profile. Often times men will forget that they've already "looked" at your profile. So...I wouldn't worry about it.

I wouldn't worry about that Michelle - that's all that seems to happen here. I've been on for nearly a year and that's all I seem to be getting. I was like you once - very confused but I've got over it now. I spend lot of time in the forums as the posts are always interesting to read - (i guess that's the only interesting thing on here :rolleyes:)

Michelle,

Some men are shy and beat themselves up over the right thing to say. They tell themselves that this is the day they're going to write you, so they click of your profile.

Then they start second guessing themselves and lose their nerve, so they write nothing. A week later they get up the courage again, but just can't follow through because they don't have the "perfect" thing to say.

If they clicked on your profile quite a few times but didn't write it's not you, it's them.

I viewed your profile to see if there were any 'red flag' issues for guys in general. You breath a sigh of relief because as someone stated above, it's not you, it's them.

I have to wonder how long it takes for the messages to show up after you post them. This seems to be a common question. Lots of looking not much talking? I think a lot of people are just shallow and are looking/ hoping for someone better looking than they had last time., I guess it is like shopping for a pair of shoes- They have to like how they look a LOT before they are willing to try them on. ha,ha ( thats funny, I dont care who you are ) Also, I have noticed several put old photos mixed with their current ones ?? what is up with that. For now we don't want to know what you looked like 10 or 15 years ago. we are here to meet people that have qualities that match up with ours. Not responding shows lack of consideration . JMO
