I just don't get it sometimes, but that's the nature of the beast with OLD. A guy winked at me on match, I winked back. He emailed me and said "We both winked at each other! Email me back, ask me some questions. hope to hear from you soon." So I replied and asked some general questions. That was Saturday!!! No response. WTF. Do these people drop off the face of the earth!!?

"Do these people drop off the face of the earth!!?"

Sometimes they do.

I got an email from a guy on a Friday, who wrote a long desciptive email describing himself, what he wants out of life and a potential candidate. I was so imprseed with his choice of words that I wrote him back the same, the next day on Saturday.

That was a month ago. Never heard back.

I've also had guys that take 2-4 weeks to reply, only to ask if I'm still interested. My response; I was, 3 weeks ago! Next!

"I thought guys would be over asking for the number for fun/ego boost by now!"

Sadly no, I've given my number to at least 5 or 6 guys that never called. What is the point?

Well, I spoke too soon- he just called! I didn't answer because I'm in a quiet computer lab...at least his voice sounds normal!

Oh, I'm not on match.com, I'm still a student so I go for the free services. This is the first person I've actually been in contact with.

Which services are free? I'm non-paying on both Yahoo and lavalife but I can't do much of anything without paying.

webdate is competely free. It is actually not bad either. A lot of the same people from my area are on it so it doesn't do me a lot of good.

Well, since I'm still in school, American Singles referred me to CollegeLuv.com, which is basically free because a lot of people put their contact information in their profiles (and somehow get away with it!).

Yeah, I agree. I try to at least send a one liner relatively quickly if I'm the least bit interested in someone, even if I'm very busy - just to keep the line of communication open.
