I am using Match and have been corresponding with a guy for a couple of weeks now. We typically respond within a day of each other but I last responded to an email on Sunday and have not heard back from him. Yesterday, he checked on my profile but no email from him. I don't want to chase after him if he has ghosted but is it possible he didn't get my email? Does this ever happen? Should I just send a light hearted hello? Our conversations were on a good track without any pressure.

It's *possible*, but pretty rare, I'd say. Give it until the weekend, and if you don't hear back from him by then, then send one email saying you just wanted to make sure he received your last one...but if he doesn't respond, or if it happens again, I'd just let it go and move on.

Thanks Sherri.

I will give it a little more time. Odd that he may have ghosted on me, yet I am the one afraid of appearing rude. I think the fact that he checked out my profile has me guessing. Of course I liked this one....ugh!!! I wouldn't have even noticed if I wasn't already interested.

I would say chance are he probally didn't miss it, but I was also noticing match was having some massive problems yesterday. The other thing to keep in mind is was there something specific in the email he was supose to respond to. If not he might have put it aside not knowing what to say next.

That's a tough one because you don't want to seem pushy if he got it but just hasn't gotten around to emailing you back (for whatever reason..maybe he has been busy or maybe there's someone else who came along). I doubt that it got lost in cyberspace. Can you check your sent box?
I think you should give it till the end of the week and then move on. If he does come back later then if I were you I would feel a little like his fall-back girl. There is no way I would let a guy drop off like that when I see he is active on the site and then come back to me later when maybe things didn't work out with another gal who came along and distracted him. ..especially if you two had been emailing on a regular basis.
Do I sound harsh?

I would also wait until the weekend and if he doesnt respond, send another saying something like, how has your week been? If he doesnt respond, youll know he's ghosted...
