Never Wants To Go Out, Still Contacts MePage 1 of 1    
There are several women in my life I met on here that never want to go out or date or anything anymore, but they keep randomly texting me every so often. Why? They will text me, ask me what I'm doing... joke about going out and doing fun/crazy shit, talk about how fun it would be, but they never actually want to go out. Makes no sense. I could see if it was one or two girls that behaved like this, but there are several that just randomly text me. I guess they are just bored.

Why would you keep contact with a guy, if you blow him off every time he wants to go out... just to keep your options open?

I think you nailed it:

"I guess they are just bored."

The bigger question is why do you respond?

If you want to be texting friends, then you've got it made. However, if you don't like it then don't respond.

I suppose in hopes some day something will happen. I was texting one lady for about 8 months before she finally out of the blue one day wanted to meet, and we had a lot of fun... so I'm usually very hesitant to blow people off that I could be interested in, because you never know what can happen in the future.

Because there are many fakes and time wasters on here that live out their weird fantasies online.

your "several women" may be 65 year old women that weigh 300 lbs for all you know. Or GUYS! I am not joking my friend.

nothing is real until you meet. Quit wasting time on anyone that is not interested in quickly moving forward and meeting. The rest are simply time vampires. Move along.

I actually know an older woman (60) that uses the internet as entertainment and is on a half dozen dating sites and sleeps most of the early day and is up all night IM'ing (chatting) with men of any age all night long anywhere in the world. Pretty sad really. She looks nothing like her pics she will talk to 20 year old guys in friggin France or anywhere. I dont get it at all but she is very happy wasting her life away like that.

if they dont want to meet then move on unless your are satisfied playing on your phone and sending xxx's & ooo's at the bottom of emails forever

I'd just forget about them.

You nailed it with the most likely explanation and they're most likely just keeping you around for their entertainment.
If you're better than that, just cut your losses and focus on finding someone who isn't going to give you mixed signals and jerk you around,

Sounds like a big game and you are the butt of the joke. I would start by finding out if these girls know each other. Sounds like you are being played

Maybe they're bored or shy... maybe they just like texting and not meeting people... there are many reasons. Why not ask them?

Well, only one of the girls that still texts me I haven't met. The others, we went out at least once, sometimes three times, but I guess they'd just rather be text buddies. One of them really liked me a lot too, I was sure we were going to go out again in a couple of days, but that was over a month ago. And I'm fine with text buddies to be honest. I mean, obviously that won't work for dating but I like talking to people and don't mind texting friends throughout the day. I'm not only looking for a girlfriend. I just don't understand why these girls don't want to go out, even if it's just as friends. Come be my wing girl at the club haha.

But I think most of you are right, they probably aren't really into me enough to want to hang out and shit, but I'm fun enough to text when they get bored. It's whatever, thanks for the replies.

It is obvious they dont want a relationship. It sounds like they just want to play and flirt on the computer. Maybe they are already in a relationship. I would just delete them and move on.

OP, I get these chit-chat emails/texts too from guys that act interested, yet NEVER ask to meet or accept my offer to meet. I usually respond (only once) with something like "Thanks for the message, however you were never available to meet so I've found others that are. Sorry, but you move to slow for me so no reason to keep in contact really as I am here to date in person. Best of luck, blah, blah, blah.” Most of them get the picture.
