I was just wondering if anyone knows why people just disappear after the first contact. I can't figure out if it's something I said. I usually ask a general question about them and tell them a little more about me...then POOF!! They're gone! Any ideas?

Don't know they just do. I would not worry about it though there are plenty more out there. Good Luck.

I like your positive attitude but it gets so discouraging. I think I have a pretty good profile, but rarely hear from anyone. Are all the men waiting for us gals to write to them first? Then when you finally connect with someone initially, they disappear and you never hear from them again. There may be plenty more out there, but they all seem to be the same.

Depends on the person, could be too personal of a question you are asking or you could be divulging too much information.

If you really want to hit it off, stop caring and be silent...seems to be working wonders for me even though I don't want it to be...

You can not let yourself get discouraged. No not everyone is like that. There are plenty of nice people here, join in with the forums and you will get to know people. Just remember who you are and come and join the fun.

Internet dating sites are a long shot at best! You can send out a ton of emails & not many respond, it's kind of a numbers game. Lots of people will not be interested, nothing to take personal...just how it goes.

It is a long shot, and also a risk. I met my ex on one of the paying sites. Dated for 15 months, married for one year. Kicked him out when I found out he told more lies than truths. This is a great way to meet people but those that are trying to hide something love to use these sites hoping we'll see who they want us to see and not who they really are.

Okay, Atlantis, I get the idea. Maybe there needs to be a site where the members take a lie detector test, a criminal background check and a credit check.

If they have a responsible job all this has been done except the lie detector test.

They could have lost interest, their gf/wife could have walked in, they could have dropped dead, all kinds of reasons. I've never really cared if a guy stopped talking to me after one email, because I don't think you should be that attached that fast. Now if I'm talking to some guy for months or years, and he disappears, yeah I'm a bit concerned.

Those kind of Matchmaker services exist but you better be ready to pay lots and lots of money because all that verification takes a lot of work.
