Original message by me: "Hi, do you still use this site."


Original response by her: "hi. yes, do you?"


My reply: "I try too, but no not really. A lot of talking, until they find someone else or get bored and stop replying. lol...

have you met anyone, ever, from online?

why do you want to join the Navy? (i viewed her profile and asked a question about it... like ill ever make that mistake again...)"


Her reply: "yes i have but only once long time ago.i wanted to join the navy be cause i did rotc and i loved every thing about it ,it was alot of fun."

- - - - -

I figure were done, because she didnt really put anything for me to comment on, except what the **** is rotc? which then looks bad on me cause im clueless for what she enjoys... so. how would you reply, or do you agree, were done?

i think you looking too in depth about it, most people cannot carry a conversation through Fourms... Besides messages are ment to be private

my advice no its not over,

i know. i get this a lot though. like theyre not really interested, but they dont want to be rude and ignore me... so they reply with just enough to get by on. least thats how i feel about it.

plus thats pretty general stuff. nothing personal. im sure plenty of people enjoy... rotc

rotc - rolls on the carpet.

i understand what your saying people do that to me yet they like and enjoy talking to me... Think of messages like being on the phone, somtimes you have to hang up the phone and wait to talk tomarrow...

Ro... Training Camp maybe...

lol. Oo, k. nice. thanks

did that help?

ROTC=Reserve Officer Training Corp.

It takes a few seconds to google it & find out what it means....Or you could have just asked her....

You get what you put out....

don't give up so easily....show her you are interested by asking more in depth questions...

ROTC - Reserve Office Training Corps. In High School, it is known as JROTC - with Junior beint the first year. ROTC is Collecge level, and once through the the college program, the cadet is commissioned into the Military, (Army, Navy, AF or Marines) as a 2nd Lt. Officers...

Did that help?

Mom of an Army Captain- (female JROTC and ROTC kid.)

Maybe she is just boring and cannot hold a decent converstaion. Maybe you and her just dont click, and there is no connection. Its a bit too early to tell though, you might as well persevere, if only for a bit of practice. The more you talk to people online the better you will become at it. My advice would be not to take it so seriously. Email her back asking if rotc does mean roll on the carpet(in a way that isnt pervy), you might make her laugh and break the ice a bit.

Maybe she is just trying to not overwhelm you with a long letter and scare you away. If she wasn't interested she wouldn't have answered in the first place. Write and tell her a couple things about yourself ask a couple questions. It is give and take. I wouldn't kid her about her interests she will think you are a jerk putting her down. She hears enough of that ohter places..Good Luck

lol! I totally disagree, joke all you want about anything. People want to be entertained when they come alone as much as anything. But then if you arent good at being funny, try a different approach.

dunno. ask her about her rotc activities?

ask her if she like paintball wars

ok. it just feels a little pathetic putting myself out there and sharing personal behavior and interests with strangers. specially when they dont ask.. like right now. lol. when they might not even be interested, and would rather me leave them alone.

i think i have enough to go on though. im going to wait a few days, them message. i like the comparison with messages and phone calls. plus, really, if shes not polite enough to even care about my interests or opinion, then shes just selfish, and i dont want that...
