General Q. about winks
| Wed, 03-30-2005 - 1:38pm |
Hello, I wondered about this some time and it would be great if someone can explain me what it means:
If a guy winks at you and you wink him back (BTW, how soon do you respond?)and if he doesn't email you or do nothing after that, what does it mean? My guess is he doesn't have a subscription and since your response was not email but a wink, he loses interest, or it was a flirt from the beginning and he didn't intend to go further from the beginning... is this correct? Usually if I wink back and he doesn't send me an email, I won't bother getting a subscription to respond to him.
Thanks for your ideas in advance.

tonka, this is VERY common. I think the reason you stated is one of many reasons why guys don't email you back after you wink at them. I think they go through and mass wink - and then go through the responses back.
Dont take it personally - just go with it. I found thata guy will write back 1 in 20 times from a wink. and these are all winks iniatiated by the guy!
good luck
My suspicion is the same as SF's.
I think that many people wink right from the main "lineup" page on Match where all they can do is view a profile headshot or first paragraph of text. Then if you write back they decide whether they are really interested.
There's also imho a large percentage that are online to make someone jealous or fill an immediate need. If they reconcile or change their minds about their relationship goals I think that's often one cause of them not pursuing things further. If I had a quarter for every one of the meets that I've been on where one of the topics of conversation was "my ex/husband just got engaged or moved in with someone" - I'd be rich. I always feel that the people who say that are online out of some need to keep up with their ex and the online medium gives them an instant way to feel like they are doing so.
