laugh When people say they are very open and like meeting new people, yet when you attempt to initiate a normal conversation with them, they ignore you. I was just wondering if anyone else finds that as amusing as I do.

Why? Who are they to make you feel irritated? If they don't want to get to know you, then that's their problem.

I just find it hypocritical and as such I don't have a lot of patience for BS.

you both are right .. but it's a free willed site... so... it's a kind of a free willed sight.. take it or leave it kind of thing... takes a day or two or sometimes more depending on the person.. but it isn't so bad.. people are cool .. just wait and the right ones will come.. trust me

It is hypocritical. But that should tell you something about that person. And is that the type of person you really want to associate with and get to know better? Someone so judgemental that they blow you off for trying to say hello? Letting something like that affect your emotions means you're giving control to someone who doesn't deserve it. It really is their loss. They had a perfectly good opportunity to meet a new friend and possibly something more and they blew it.

It's only a momentary infuriation, I usually forget about it by the time I walk away from the computer.

Part of it is just the environment, I have much better chance of leaving a better impression on someone if I just passed them on the streets and said "Hello." Online a person only gets to see a part of you, then they let their imagination fill in the gaps where as in person that simple "Hello" can really shine as one will be able to see how you carry yourself, hear the tone you speak with, see your smile, etc.

True. I think the problem is that since it's a dating site, people tend to think you're after just one thing. But if you're on the site, it means you're looking for something whether it's a friendship or a relationship. It just interests me when people can say they are open people, but turn around and do things like that. I'm not saying they are bad people. I just think they need to re-evaluate themselves.

Check your expectations.


Will do (or at least try).

One thing I've learned over the years - listen to your elders.
