Your experience is typical. Few people can have a meaningful conversation via email. It's a skill. Alternatively, they simply aren't that interested, and are passing time. They may hope YOU will say something that will excite them enough to show interest, but they're missing the boat if they don't show interest. So, just write them off after a couple of such emails.
I agree with this - it's hard for some people to carry on a good, meaningful conversation via email. It's just not the same as in person. Even with my good friends I'd rather pick up a phone and call them when I want to catch up. My point being IMO (I don't know about other people) it's really hard for me to get interested in someone just through sending messages back and forth when I haven't met them. Maybe I'm a bit old school though... I haven't really done online dating, so maybe that's something I'd have to get used to.
This always happens to me! Lately I've been having a lot more success in getting women to respond to my initial messages. Maybe it's because I changed my pictures... I look cool in sunglasses if I do say so myself, and my other pictures are pretty decent and show me having a good time. Eh.
Anyway, like I said I never get asked questions. It always feels like I'm doing an interview for some third-rate blog. I ask something in the first message, they respond (in a rather friendly tone), I dig deeper... but it never gets turned around on me. Like, I ask a girl what instruments she plays and then she doesn't ask me if I play anything.
I don't know, it just seems weird to me and I'm guessing it means they're not interested. Anyone else ever experience this on any online dating site?
That means they are not interested. It happens to everyone. If someone is interested they will ask questions
yeah i concur on boring small talks online. i rather know about them in person to be honest. i only use online dating sites to set up to meet people ASAP. if they don't ask to meet right away and especially if they only ask for more pics, i move on.
Try setting up a phone call to develop rapport so you can then schedule a date. Why would you set up a date online without hearing someone's voice?
I do think there is a certain element of ineptitude for some folks when it comes to conversing via email. But I also think if they can't think of one thing to ask you, either your profile has given them very little in the way of obvious hooks or they're just not interested. I've purposely littered my profile with "conversation starters" so if a guy I contact fails to ask me any questions in return, I just don't revisit him.
It's all about your PHOTO and if she is not attracted then there won't be any conversation

Because I don't like giving my number to someone I haven't even met yet. If the meet does not work out, I don't like to be bothered with knowing a perfect stranger has my number.
I don't even give my number to guys that personally ask for my number. PLUS i hate talking on phone. Really prefer to talk in person.

You sound too paranoid for online dating and should delete your profile. Or you can just get the CALL BLOCK feature if you don't want to talk to a guy anymore
LOL. funny I always hear that with the guys that set up to meet me. My 'paranoia' does not affect my dating life though. I've met a LOT of guys even if I have a 'weird' process in meeting them.
I guess it falls in the category of if a guy REALLY wants to meet me, they just let me have my way or the highway (there are also some guys that prefer the highway).
