Dan, you might want to take it a bit slower. I would never meet someone after only one email. Get to know them a bit first. You are probably scaring them off.

Good luck :smile:

On this website, you are supposed to say, "I have abs."

Unfortunately, people will be a lot more guarded online I find. It's just too simple and easy for anyone to type out lies, and no one can tell if it's true. But if you're in person you can be caught in a lie for something as small as your body language.

As a general rule, I wouldn't suggest meeting up for coffee in the first few messages. In person it might be acceptable to suggest coffee so soon assuming the chemistry is good since you met, but online it's too forward. It sucks because it takes SO much time to play message ping-pong, waiting for the other person to come back online, read your message and so on, but it comes with the online territory. It requires patience and the ability to not be offended when people ignore you. A lot of the messages I send get ignored, so it's not just you.

some of us don't reply because even a polite refusal gets challenged by someone who thinks they are owed an explanation.
wish you all the best
