Why do people click that they would like to meet you and dont even send you a message?

i don't get either hun haha but then i've not been on here long i guess haha

I imagine its like on some other dating sites, you can just send someone a nudge, or wink or whatever.
Lets you know they are interested without having the courage to actually contact you and say so. Hoping you like thier profile enough to do the leg work and start the ball rolling yourself?
That way, if you dont respond, their self-esteem is intact and they wasted no more than half a nano-second on you when they clicked that button.
Thats the way I see it anyway.

I didnt think of it like that Rocket Girl.

You are the Oracle of this dating site! LOL.

I've got 5 pages worth & have only met one & maybe recieved a message from 5 or 6......so I dont have a clue, but like Alice says I think they hope that you will make the first move.....it's quite interesting as before this new version we couldnt see this option & its surprising that the ones who messaged & sometimes spent hours chatting didnt even click the button to meet you......so what does that say? although the one lovely guy I did meet did.....

I think it was Moose, he went on a date with a cheeseplant - didnt he say he went home after he got fed up with having to water her in order to get a response?

So what's the general deal with this? Go trigger happy and click the people you'd like to meet - or is this a little to upfront and likely to scare girls off? I've been sending messages out, but waiting for responses before clicking the Like to Meet..

Well kind of depends when they clicked on it for starters as the button didn't used to do very much. I think it used to just decide who was in the top 50 http://www.flirtbox.co.uk/top50/dating/uk-singles.html So people were probably just using it like a hot-or-not style button.

With it moving onto a random profile when you select that you would or wouldn't like to meet someone it can draw you into just carrying on with that.

Some on mine haven't been on for a while, some I'd like to meet and talk to already, one I have actually met, some I'm waiting to find out more about, there's a couple that I'm not sure if they are real profiles, and 1 or 2 I'm just not sure at the moment what to say to. I had some that I'd messaged but not heard back from but I cleared those out last week, lol.

And conversely there are people I would like to meet but know due to distance I won't who I've not added to the list. My list also excludes some who who I'd like to meet if they weren't currently attached.

That all seemed a lot simpler and shorter when I first thought of it.

Incidently, no one has clicked that they'd like to meet me as far as I know.

Likewise I havn't clicked anybody else's
