Is this normal?
| Thu, 03-31-2005 - 8:32am |
I've been on match for a week and have gotten a lot of e-mails and winks...most from guys I wouldn't even consider, a couple from decent prospects. What I'm finding, though, is that when I initiate contact with someone whose profile I liked, they don't respond. Is that normal? As a female, is it better to just wink at the guy and let him e-mail you? I noticed it said I was twice as likely to get a response to an e-mail as to a wink, so I didn't want to lower my chances, but e-mailing just isn't working. Every e-mail followed the suggestions of mentioning something that drew me to their profile and I don't think I said anything that would have turned them away. Should I just give up on contacting people? I don't want to ruin something if it's a guy that would have eventually found me but my contacting him turned him off... You know, the whole "always wanting what you can't have" thing.

I myself rarely if ever respond to a wink on either Match or Yahoo. It signals to me that the guy either is too cheap to pay or he's just throwing out lots of winks. I want to hear what he has to say! Furthermore, I rarely get anything but a wink in response to a wink if I send one myself.
I just had a guy wink at me in response to my email...apparently I'm not worth his time! If you are getting any action at all, the expense (about $45 for 3 months) is worth it. However, I got nothing going at all in March, so I just cancelled my Yahoo subscription, which would have renewed in a day or so. (At least, I hope I cancelled in time.)
Nope, if he's the right guy for you, he'll be thrilled you contacted him, if he hadn't seen you first.
