Like seriously, I dont know if its just most of the people on here arent real or what, half the time we will be messaging each other and things will be going fine when suddenly they just decide to stop replying to my messages and ignoring me altogether, with no reason for doing so (I check to make sure they read my messages and they do). Am I the only one having this problem? Like seriously, ignoring is the most annoying and irresponsible way of telling someone they arent what you're looking for, I at least deserve the respect of being told so rather than just being driven to annoyance wondering why I am being ignored and if I'm wasting my time waiting for a response, (this is the main reason I hate online dating). Does anyone know why people do this, my only guesses are irresponsibility, scammers, rudeness, or the delusion that people would rather be ignored than told straight.

I agree its odd...my experience though is no response means no interest. Dust yourself off and move on.

Although I have to agree with TPAM 90 %, I would also like to say that I've received messages from one guy I really like and now I can't reply to them. The site refuses to send my messages (new ones as well)... all I get when I send them is disappointed smilies... At first I thought he blocked me, but then I got a message from him asking me if he had offended me; to which I can also not reply... Which leaves me feeling guilty actually!

Yeah that's a problem I remember gypsymoon had too, unfortunately I don't think she managed to resolve it.

I think you could work your way around it with a new profile but it's less than ideal for certain.

Pity they don't read the forum at least they'd find out that way that there was an issue.

Actually, I did make a new profile... made me feel a bit weird doing it, but better than the guilt trip thing... Did send a message from the new profile with an explanation that actually got sent... keeping my fingers crossed now Wink

Well its good to hear that I'm not the only one having this problem. I wasnt aware that such a bug existed, sucks that it does though as that might explain half of my cases. :/

Kyle, being ignored is really frustrating and annoying, but you have to simply accept the fact that actually MOST people have very little in the way of manners or courtesy. And as someone else said "just move on"

I did indeed, the way I got around it was to ask a couple of people from these forums to message them on my behalf and give them another place to communicate with me. Btw, it wasn't everyone I couldn't message just a few people. You could try the same.

I really can't stand it when people ignore me...its ignorant and disrespectful.

I'd sooner someone just be honest with you and tell you they don't want to know you anymore.

Its a pathetic, cowardly action.

*End rant*

I dont think you should take it as far as giving up on the online thing altogether, I think its just the fact that this site is bad. If I were you I would simply try a more esteemed dating site, you could even try one of those sites that finds a match for you, eliminating the annoyance of dealing with rude people. I would do so myself but most other sites require you to be 18 so I'm sticking it out here till then.

I've met people from FB.
(And - as you might imagine - older people are fewer.)
Ii is rare to get my messages unanswered.
And I always reply to people who message me!
(Even if they are 17 or 18 years old! Rolling Eyes )
So it can work. But there are many problems.
Eventually I went to a paid site, but it wasn't good.
It used the same basic software as here.
Where it showed the number of people still online - they included people who's been online in the past few hours or hadn't logged off etc! Evil or Very Mad
There was no support!
So I tried another paid site...
This one was better run (less problems) and genuine.
The people were also genuine and older people were plentiful! Razz
The good news is that the older women outnumber the older men! Laughing
And if you have your own hair and are not fat - you are laughing!
So I met quite a few women and I've found someone for me!
And it's worse than being a teenager again!

My experience is: It works.
But you have to make it work!
