I have my profile up on a dating site. I have had maybe three or four guys view my profile over five times. I hadn't contacted any of them before this past week. I decided to message one. No response. I can still hear the crickets chirping.
These are guys in my age bracket (50s), so they SHOULD be mature.
1. Are the guys that do this, just browsing and not serious about dating?
2. Are they too "afraid" to make the first contact?
3. Are they hinting for me to make first contact? How would I know that?
4. Does multiple viewings (sounds like continually going to the back of the line at a funeral home LOL) indicate they are interested or that they keep forgetting that they've seen me already?
I hardly think their email is so full that it's unmanageable.
My daughter told me to message them, "Why have you looked at my profile eight times?" LMAO. With a message like that, they would either answer or stop. She thinks it's creepy. I can ignore it, but it sure does make me wonder.

No. They're checking you out. They're thinking about whether to contact you. They're mulling over your proflle (a good sign; at least they're reading it), they're looking at your photo again and again. They're being indecisive, maybe a couple of them are being shy. They're warming up.
That's how I'd take it. But I can see how it would be frustrating. Especially if you gave one a nudge, and got crickets.
The thing about that age bracket is that many men are more interested in dating outside that age bracket.
Actually, no. Some are. Others want to date someone close to their age and life experience/maturity level. I've seen couples now and then in that age bracket who are obviously on a first date, talking about first-date stuff. They're a match, age-wise. It's a C-D cliche that men in that bracket are ALL looking to date younger women. Reality doesn't reflect this.
I love the OP's sense of humor about it all. A sense of humor like that will get you far.
And no, they're not hinting at you. They're not that cagey. They're debating contacting you. It sounds like you did a pretty good job of writing your profile, and got a good pic up. I guess the discouraging news is that they're not quite serious enough to step up to the plate, yet. Has anyone contacted you at all?
Also, clear something up for me, you know how many times each man visited your profile?
Read the OP again, she stated in the OP that there were multiple visits by these same guys.
