I really don't get it. If you say "yes" or "maybe" to someone and they do the same for you, and then you email them to break the ice and never get a response, what's the point? I thought it was supposed to be an easy way to meet others since you could go in knowing that at least they didn't think you were a hideous monster. hahaha enlighten me, please!

its like the twlight zone just kidding its a known mystry around the globe i guess we get too busy i have had it happen to me i do have online friends from other sites i have met even dated dont let it bother you

Mutually dumb....Oh well...nice try

IMO - It depends on who is the aggressor... AND since women have the upper hand on the next step(s), I would like to think if you're really interested in someone, then pursue (not stalk) your interests by emailing, IM'ing or calling. Until the other person actually says "NO" then I'd say take the initiative...

To me, only the players really know how to play the game of cat & mouse. If someone wants to be my friend first, then "Hey" I'm all for that & let's let the dance begin. Otherwise we can assume the person is no longer interested...

Sometimes... how do you say "NO" politely?
