match and views
| Tue, 07-11-2006 - 11:13am |
I've been doing this match thing for a couple days now, and, while I've only gotten a couple emails/winks, I've gotten a good deal of "views." My question is: if one of you ladies views a profile, but doesn't email or wink, is it safe to say you are not interested? In other words, should I even bother contacting people who viewed me but didn't try to contact me? Or would that be a failure to "take the hint"?

I wouldn't assume that someone "viewing" me but not sending a wink/email meant they were disinterested. On a few occasions, I have found myself looking at profiles, being interested, but then not being able to put together a relatively thoughtful email at that very moment.
Heck, it's worth a shot to send out a quick "hello" anyway. Who knows. Did you ever think that maybe the girl thought you were out of her league? Or perhaps, she's shy and couldn't muster up the courage to wink/email, but secretly hoped you saw they had "viewed" you and is actually quite open to the idea of you initiating first contact.
You just never can tell sometimes :)
I would say that if you look at their profile and see something that interests you, there is no reason NOT to send an email. Maybe something you say will prompt them to look at yours again. Or maybe when they looked they were interested and not ready to follow up.
But no, you aren't obligated to follow up on every view. In fact, I think that would make me feel a little self conscious. Like I was at a party and obligated to speak to everyone whose eyes fell on me.
