Would you stop conversation with a man or a woman online if they did not respond to your question about them with the answer and a question about you?

Meaning, they just answer the question and that's it. They have effectively put a dead end to the conversation and you are expected to carry the weight of progressing the dialogue.

No, I would not.

I would give them a second chance, if you want to call it that.

My date the other night was expressing that she was frustrated that I didn't get her in her text. I said I did lol and explained what she meant in detail and then she said oh wow, you did, my bad I was driving and missed your response lol.

Here's the thing. If this question is important/deal breaker and you feel like they are not disclosing enough info you have a right to determine if that is going to work for you. My date was uncomfortable that I was holding back some personal info about family, and explained it to her in a sensitive and tactful manner so she was comfortable and we could move forwards, but I wasn't about to spill my blood and guts on a first meet, nor do I think someone should.

Do they talk about anything? Some people are just not naturally interrogative. If they don't say anything at all....well that's bad....but that they don't question your reason for being....not so much.

Have you ever offered, "Is there anything you'd like to know about me?"

If I don't like how someone communicates, I respond to them with "ok".

I find people who can't communicate in a simple message are not worth my time.

Ugh, I've experienced that several times. I hate one sided conversations!

The last time it happened to me I'd been emailing with someone who said they were a journalist. As soon as I mentioned, "I thought you said you were a journalist, aren't there any questions you'd want to ask of me?" they were GONE.

Seriously, what the heck? Why even be online?

If there's no conversational flow, I'd move on.

Some people are really good about answering paragraph to paragraph but others lack that.

What is worse is when you are typing out a 3 paragraph message and get a 2 sentence message in return.

prob. not, however the high expectations of the other person would be a deal breaker for me.
