You didn't do anything wrong, I thought it was a very nice message! You have to remember that there are so many flaky people out there, maybe she is one of them! I mean she could have acknowledged that she got your note!
I don't see where you did anything wrong. The only negative comment you made was about not being very good at fishing, but IMHO that wasn't negative enough to warrant stopping communication. If that's the way you are communicating you'll do fine. I agree with ms. rain she could have said "thanks, but no thanks".
Is that how you talk to women face to face?
I'm certainly no expert on online interactions, but that felt very "interviewy." I would try to keep up the fun, playful, banter...but maybe that doesn't work online.
What flusters me, though, is WHY? Did I say too much too soon? Should I have just kept it shorter? I was trying to make friendly conversation and though I said I was tired from work, I turned it back into a positive thing by saying I had time off afterwards. Anyway, I'm truly at a loss here. Can anyone fill me in as to where I went wrong??
You didn't go "wrong". First lesson of online dating: NEVER expect ANYTHING until you actually meet someone. Emails and online communications are just that...online. You have no idea how many other people someone is talking to, or even if the person is sane. Don't get all caught up in a conversation with someone...take it slow, take it easy, and if things seem to progress well, then get on the phone. Until that point, write with respect and timeliness - but remember...it's just online. Nothing to even raise an eyebrow over.
Nothing. Keep in mind that she may have several other suitors and maybe she connected with one while you two were communicating and saw no need to continue communicating with you. Move on to the next one and don't worry about it.

I would think it was related to one of the above statements.
You could always send her a brief, light hearted message and see if she responds. It's not like you have anything to lose. If she doesn't write back, then she's definitely not interested.
Well some people are dead set on their "type"when it comes to looks (must be 6 foot tall at least, under 200 pounds, etc etc).
You seem like a nice guy tho, nothing wrong w/ your message from what I can see
Thanks sophialee. ..and yeah, I can understand that. I'm pretty picky myself when it comes to physical appearance, at least with height and "body tone". Couldn't care less about hair, skin or eye color though.
I guess even with kids, her preferences were still sky high. (I have pics posted on here too in case anyone's curious as to how ugly I am )
its internet dating. your honesty and down to earth behavior did not sound like a movie star. . since she is not realistic about what she has to offer, why should she be realistic about what she expects to get.

And there's nothing wrong with that. Why should she lower or change her preferences just because she's a mother?
