I consider it a lack of interest although I give it some time. If I'm corresponding w/someone and I'm asking all the questions, I will usually answer the question and then say "hey, don't let me be the one doing all the asking!" At times it works and sometimes it doesn't. If they continue to answer and don't ask well then I usually get bored of the one-sided conversation and it fizzles.
During telephone conversations, I use to be the type of person who tried to keep the conversation flowing and at times I take the role but when I notice it's one-sided, I will not say anything and see if he will talk. I understand about people being nervous, but after 2-3 phone calls if he is not asking questions or making conversation, then I lose interest.
Of course, any question of a sexual nature is unacceptable.
I would call it a lack of interest....but sometimes in the beginning it could just be that the guy is shy. When Russ and I first started talking in person he was very shy. He is still shy to a point, but it has gotten better.
God Bless
It depends...I've had guys ask me every question under the sun that lead me to believe they were serious only to "ghost" after a few dates.
Hi everybody!
I might be going off on a tangent here, but here it goes anyhow:
sometimes it's cultural. Of course, if you dating m,en who were born and raised in the US, this shouldn't be an issue. But as European, who also tends to date immigrants/foreigners here, I can tell you that American style of communication is not universal. Actually in one book, they called it "ping-pong" communication (an exchange of questions and answers). Europeans, for example tend to swap stories, and not ask questions. Which is why it took me forever to learn how to show interest in people here; also, imagine how many of the people I would talk to would feel that I am self-centered; at the same time, I felt interrogated! :)
