First question: how would you handle situations where you show interest in someone by writing a thoughtful blurb (maybe even witty), and they liked it enough to match with you, but not actually respond?

Second question: for those people out there who have someone show interest in you by writing a thoughtful blurb (maybe even witty), why would you not at least also say hi or some other basic acknowledgment? What is the expectation?

  1. Move on. Whatever happened, they're not interested enough to respond.

  2. I usually respond to thoughtful comments even if I'm not interested. When I don't it's because I started dating someone/got busy and haven't had time to go through all the messages -OR- it wasn't as thoughtful or witty as they think and I don't want to engage.

Some examples:

  • "You sound like a lot of fun. My wife and I recently opened our relationship and..."

  • "You don't seem like other girls, a rare find in this place..."

  • "I know your profile says no one over (x) years old but I'm (2x) and..."

  • "You look like lots of fun. My wife, her boyfriend and I have opened our relationship and..."
