    Its head melting really :(

    "Hey I really hate it when people send me messages and then blank me don't you"

    "Yes I really hate that too"

    *blank*

    aaaaargh :(

    I did then message her saying I would be up for meeting for coffee if she is but I also said in the same message I would understand if she is not comfortable doing so yet and would rather chat more.

    I can't tell if shes pissed I didnt instantly ask her out, or just finds the idea of meeting soon uncomfortable.

    Bah all I can do is try to be nice and honest in my messages but this online stuff really has a way of making you feel like some freak of nature. Women can be so hard to read at the best of times, never mind through Internet messaging :(

    I'd much prefer it if women just bluntly told me why they suddenly didnt wanna talk to me anymore, at least I know and learn.

    Ah well, tis really seeming that just like every other aspect of coupling in Irish society..the introverted male has no hope. I can only imagine the kinda guys messaging these girls that they'd be comparing me too.

    sigh.

    There is a very attractive girl I would consider out of my league messaging me, who only replies every 3-4 days. (i find this odd) Starting to wonder if this is a 'keep my replies in the yellow/green' situation as some poster mentioned earlier. :(

    ha sounds familar, does the name start with an A?

    SOconfusing - I wouldn't write someone off because you dont get a message everyday. I was on another dating website a couple of months ago and I never thought it'd be so time consuming. I gave it up cos I didnt have time to be online every night writing messages/searching profiles. Though I have decided to make more of an effort this time. :)

    Also dont dwell on the "out of her league" thing, surely she wouldnt be messaging you if she wasn't interested? But then maybe I'm too sensible to understand games!

    Well its that she replied everytime bar up until she stated how she hates when people stop replying. Its been a few days at this stage and shes been online and on my profile since...

    I obviously just said something wrong some how :(

    Thanks though :)

    Time consuming? Wow the female and male experience is so different. Very hard time finding someone who wants to even chat. Versus not having the time to reply to all the messages....

    And they say its a mans world :p

    @ JimBob777

    Well no, the "I hate when people chat then stop replying" girl's name does not begin with A.

    But the out of my league, (I say this mainly cause she's taller than me) replies every 3-4 days girls user name does....

    Its strange when you seem someone on a site you know from somewhere but cant quite place them, I saw a profile and it took about a week to realise I knew her as my boss's ex.

    Just go for it, you'll regret it if you keep putting it off, everyone is on it for the same reason so you've nothing to lose.

    That's good but for me the old cynic says "Well what are the odd's that she will reply when so many other won't and even if she does, am I the only guy she's been writing to?"

    By all means keep that option open, but personally I find online dating the best/worst example of putting all your eggs in one basket and it backfiring.

    Why would a woman be out of your league because she is taller than you?

    Ok, you didn't ask me, but I'll answer as if I believe you actually don't know.

    If you read any discussion on dating anywhere, or have ever asked any of your female friends or sisters, you'd know that most, -not all, but
    most women prefer to date a guy taller than them or at least the same height.
