Getting people to respond to your messages
Ok, so I've message quite a few ladies on this site, but only one has responded at all. Some have not been on in a while, so I can understand them not answering. However, I've seen that member xyz is "online now", so I send xyz a message. I've not gotten any reply from people that I know have been online since I sent the message. I ask clearly to let me know yes or no. If they don't want to meet me, that's fine, I just ask for a courteous response so I know. If I don't know if they've read the e-mail (which I asked about in a different post), then I may send them another, making them think I'm a spammer when I'm not.
Anybody have ideas of what I could say to elicit a response(positive or negative) ??
Thanks in advance.

Re: Getting people to respond to your messages
Try not to take it too personally, there are some members who seem to be online all the time, but rarely if ever respond to anyone. Don't know what the deal is with them and I can't offer you an explanation.
Secondly, just make sure you read their profile thoroughly and that you are messaging them because you are what they are looking for, and not just because they are what you are looking for.
Third, I've found that some messages are just so easy to reply to, it's hard to explain why. They have some sort of "ice breaker" factor going for them, they are light and casual, humorous.
Just saying "your photos are hot send me an email @whatever, or meet me in chat, etc..." can be a little harder for some women to reply to coming from a complete stranger.
Lastly, some women get tons and tons of mail and it's just not possible for them to read, check the profile of the sender and reply to all of them.
The subject line of the message can be a very helpful tool.
You don't want your message subject in the index of someone's inbox blending into a hundred others that just say "hello" "hi sexy"

Re: Getting people to respond to your messages
Thank you for the advice. I'll try to keep it in mind next time I'm writing a private message.

Re: Getting people to respond to your messages
Wish ya the best, dear and try not to take anything too personal with the replies...I usually spend allot of time answering every message, but right now I'm not able to spend much time at all online and with my mailbox. There's some of us that would love to reply, but for whatever reasons we just can't at the time. If there is someone you're very interested in and they haven't answered, give 'em a little time and maybe try again.
