Msg from Inactive guy

This guy sent me a message on LL so I replied the next day and I m really interested.
at the end of his message he says: I dont like to waste my time or yours so how about a coffee somewhere you like?

I replied with some questions and did not really answer the "where to meet part" kuz I d like to have few email convos before meeting in person.
I checked the site, after sending me the message he never logged in! so he hasn't read my reply.. been almost a week.

I will wait to see if he will ever log back into the site. But it is really bizarre.
Some people are too cool. I m so busy but I got 2mn every day to log and check my mail especially when I m expecting a reply!
I m not desperate but always have time to check.

Sometimes I can go a few days without checking the site if I am really busy (and I am a computer person...). Some of these sites allow you to receive replies through your personal email accounts without logging in. So he could be just slow in replying emails, like me. I know a lot of people say that it only takes 2 minutes to contact someone, but for me, I usually wait until I am prepared to reply - both mentally and physically; that is, when I have the time and am in the mood to reply emails. Some people might think it's rude not replying right away, but I like to take the time to think about it before/when I write.

I tend to not check the sites often either.


Personally, I wouldn't ignore his question. I would just be upfront with him and tell him that you'd like to exchange a few emails to see if you have things in common and then meet...


Keep us posted!
