I would not assume up front that not asking any questions in a response indicates no interest. Others have specified several good reasons why somebody might neglect to ask any. If somebody makes a habit of not asking any questions over two or three emails, then I would be more concerned about lack of interest. (In fact, because I am unfailingly polite about answering emails and also non-confrontational about expressing disinterest, this is precisely what I will do when I am not interested in somebody -- answer questions, but not promote further conversation.)

It bears mentioning, however, that after receiving one email with no questions prompting further response, I'll make sure that my next email contains an explicit invitation like, "Is there anything else you'd particularly like to know about me?"

It may not be true but I get the same feeling when that happens.
Then I back off and then if I don't hear from them - I know it's true :cry:

I have a question regarding online dating. Would like to hear some thoughts from both men and women, as I'm sure I'm not the only one who's encountered this situation. If you contact someone online and they promptly reply to your message and answer any questions you may have asked but don't ask a single question about you in their reply, in general, would you say this shows a lack of interest? Personally, it makes me feel like they're just being polite by responding to you, but not really interested in keeping the "conversation" going. What are your thoughts?



I think your right I think the same

exactly, but it's hard to know what to say on here, i think most conversations end before the person gets to know the other, this is a downfall for the net, what does one expect:?

your right, some people don't know how to start a conversation out or just shy. we can't tell by just one or two emails. over all, some are just better at it then others
