Online personals....

[alwaysone]

A few months ago I was searching through some personals online, and I found this one guy that sparked my interest quite a bit. I think for a while his personal disappeared, but then came back a couple of weeks ago. Anyway, I sent him a message, and he looked at my personal, but no dice on a reply.

I know its just a personal and all, but I am really interested in him!! Something in his profile made my heart melt (and it wasn't his picture either), and I would hate if he didn't respond because I would love just to talk to him.

ANyway, my subscription is expiring I think on Sunday, and I was debating if I send him my personal e-mail address telling him I would really like to talk. Would that be too weird or obsessive if I sent him another message?

Yes.

You contacted him, he read it, he glanced at your profile, but didn't write back. If he was at all interested, he would've.

I worked at a personals company for a while and unless you know he read it, you might want to try again. Just tell him if he's not interested in talking, that's fine, you just want to make sure he got the message. Again, if the site doesn't show you that he read your email.

Some of their systems are screwy, you wouldn't believe all the messages that are lost, misdirected, left on servers that are turned off.....

Nothing wrong with a polite "I received your message." reply.

alwaysone,

If someone contacted you, you looked at his profile and found him interesting, would you reply? What if you didn't find him interesting?

True that, but my profile doesn't have a picture so you don't get all the details with my personal. I don't post pictures on online personals because I don't want people I know reading my goofy-ass profile. Call me paranoid but....

Once I get a conversation going, I'll send a pic. So I guess my point is that I hope I'm not a complete write off to him yet....

Did you send him a picture? Many guys won't bother if there's no photo.

>>>Once I get a conversation going, I'll send a pic.

But there's no conversation. He hasn't written back. I guess you can send him your photo now, but that sort of defeats the whole "no pic until conversation" guideline.

Look, you obviously have really high hopes for this guy, which is always dangerous considering you haven't actually ever communicated with him yet. But if you're this worried about him becoming "the one who got away", by all means, write to him again. Explain how much his profile means to you, that your account is expiring, and you'd like to get a conversation going. And send your picture.
