How in the world to you expect them to answer you? It MIGHT be that by communicating back with you, they are putting the ball back in your court to see if you are interested. From what I've heard, some guys put little effort in because all they want to do is find an easy lay. Next time try asking them something about their profile to show them you have read it and are interested in them.

No you say "Thank you for the compliment, so how are you tonight? I;m Lisa

(Not that I got messaged a whole ton, but...) The only messages I would tend to respond to, when I had a dating profile, were the ones that were witty/funny.

Maybe get creative with something that's written in their profile?

Well this seems to work a lot


"Hello my name is ...and you have nice lips and was wondering can I have a kiss"

LOL

Most women find that to be funny and we start talking after that

Oh For God's Sake.

Now there's some unwritten rule according to some moron on the end of the chat, known only to him. Obey it or else.



Is it any wonder that women with any intelligence or character at all avoid these dating sites like the plague?

It is full of freaks just waiting for you to innocently place a toenail over the stupid imaginary line in their stupid imaginary sand so they can abuse you and take all their sexual frustration out on you...all for disobeying a rule you didn't even know about in the first place.



Get. A. Life.

I would like a sample of the message you sent.


If it says stuff like: "Hi, gosh, you sure are pretty. My name is TVSG, how are you tonight? I was wondering if you were interested in a tickle party, and prehaps having dinner at my place? I havn't any place to sit, so I will play the part of the chair this evening."



You will get:


"...................thanks?"

What's wrong with "thanks", TV?

If they weren't interested I don't even think they would have sent that.

You sent the first message and initiated the conversation, so I suppose that you are the one that is supposed to lead it.

Why would she pursue a conversation with you if all you did was say "hey I'm joe, you have nice hair"

If YOU are initiating contact and you want her to respond...say "hey, I noticed you said you liked hiking in your profile. Have you ever been to such-and-such trails? They are a challenge but I had a great time when I hiked them....or I've never been there but I've been wanting to go, any pointers?"

It's called conversation. Paying someone a compliment doesn't usually get you anything other than a polite "thank you" in return. The goal for you should be to open up a conversation that won't die out after one question.
