Maybe I'm just being naive... If you send someone a message, just a normal hi how are you, cool profile, etc. Nothing creepy and you don't ever hear back, can you send a follow up and ask what the problem is. Or is that too desperate?

I'm sure this has been discussed before on here so some of you pros give this newcomer some advice.

If I get a mail that says:
"Hi"
"Wanna chat?"
"Nice pics"
"How are you?"

Those are not worthy of a reply. They are generic and thoughless. JMO

Sounds like conversation starters to me. Better then some "Wanna do the nasty" or other derogitory remarks.

WOA! Where is that delete button?!?!

Actually I did read your profile and would have sent you an email but I was outside of your age range.

I'd wait to get a reply, you can see if your mail was read. I

If you dont get a response, chalk it up as a loss (their loss winking)

Join the forums, make friends, have fun, share a laugh, advice or a shoulderflowerforyou

True, better than "Lets have sex...." Very good point!

But I prefer a personal touch or at least a hint they read my profile. If there is no effort involved why should I reply? When I do 99% of the time I keep getting one sentence mails, or the follow up is "hit me up on messenger"...
