| why the vanishing act Posted: 10/17/2006 4:31:03 PM | It is not uncommon on dating sites for someone to lose interest for whatever reason. I've been in email conversations with girls before, and all of a sudden they simply stop answering. I don't beat myself up over it, but prefer to simply figure that I was not the right one for them and we wouldn't have clicked in person anyway.
With that said, it's still frustrating. Some people figure that because this is all online and through text, that they don't have to extend the common courtesies they otherwise would have in person. Almost as if there isn't REALLY another human being on the other end that is going to react to their rudeness.
It's life on POF. Welcome! | |

| why the vanishing act Posted: 10/17/2006 4:37:09 PM | cleopatrarose, The vanishing act seems to be start right from the beginning. I've written over 30 e-mails to women asking them what are their favorite hobbies, movies, places to walk, music, and not even suggest a date, or phonecall, or e-mail, and none of them respond! I'm told if I rush I also may get nothing too, and might scare them. Of the 30+ people I've contacted only 1 actually have I met (and has a job of odd hours), and 3 are out of town not looking for a long distance relationship of any sort. So take heart, it seems the vast majority are only players and either just read/delete or unread/delete your message. I'm a serious yet funny guy who wishes like you that more people were out there to really find someone. One day we'll meet our match. Until then, good luck! | |

| why the vanishing act Posted: 10/17/2006 4:38:22 PM | | cause they already have a wife or girlfriend!, they use online "dating" as a way to pass time. They fish out the girls that are single moms, or maybe a loner type to use. Not to many people are honest these days, it's just how the world is going. | |

| why the vanishing act Posted: 1/12/2007 1:53:21 PM | | I've had this happened to me, already, about 4 or 5 times. They never write back, call back, or anything after just 1 date (no matter how good or bad it was). Or even the ones I didn't get to meet yet and say they will come down to meet me. They never do. I don't get the vanishing act either. | |
