I have recently been trying Yahoo Personals to meet new people, friends and possible a girlfriend. I sent an Icebreaker then an E-Mail Icebreaker to one girl who I am interested in and after a little while, probably a week or so, she replied with an icebreaker that said, "Looking forward to heraring from you again soon". When I recieved it I replied with two e-mails. The first one was short and explained why I contacted her, and the second one, sent about a day later, asked her about herself so we could start to get to know each other. Its been a little over three days and I have not heard back from her. It says she has been active so I know she has been on-line. Am I just not giving it enough time, is that type of thing girls just do, so it's normal? I have suscribed so I can write e-mails. Could it be that maybe she hasn't and can't write emails? If thats the case how can I contact this girl so we can start getting to know each other without coming across so desperate and weird?

yeah, i use yahoo personals but i'm not subscribed, so i can't respond to e-mails i get from dudes.  try sending her your e-mail address (or phone nbr i guess if you feel comfortable) in your next e-mial so she can respond.  good luck!

Too busy moving for three months??? Not a single email...im...message on your phone...nothing???  I think maybe you need to give the girl you are currently dating a chance...dream girl sounds too good to be true.  If she tried im'ing you wouldn't you have received an offline message???  \n\nDon't you think it's unfair to the girl you've been dating to just all the sudden say oops sorry found the other girl I was talking with three months ago so see ya later?  I mean you must be attracted to the girl you are currently with or you wouldn't be dating her...if dream girl is the one for you and it's meant to be you will find each other when the time is right.  \n\nHow serious are things with your current girlfriend?  Have you moved past the just getting to know you stage where you are both still seeing other people or have you made some sort of commitment?  You now have a third party in the picture and need to consider her feelings as well.  I hope you think long and hard before making a final decision...you know the grass is not always greener on the other side.  Also have you thought maybe of just having a friendship with dream girl first...if there is one thing I have learned it is that friendship first makes a huge difference in how a relationship will progress.  Exploring a friendship while dating someone else may give all of you a chance to see what the future holds without hurting someone's feelings.  Who knows maybe you and the girl you are currently dating will decide that you are just better off as friends...there are lots of possibilities...try being honest with your current girlfriend and get her advice...you may be surprised.

I wouldn't worry about it, nor would I call again. You made the effort and hopefully in your message you explained how crazy the move was and told him who you were down to the very last detail. If he's interested he'll give you a call back. He could be very busy or debating on whether or not he should call you. I wouldn't call him back again for the simple fact that he might think you are stalking him so just give it some time, and if he never calls, then move on. Its not worth getting worried or upset about.

The guidelines say that you're not supposed to use this service to "to chat or have discussions with other members." However, assuming she is interested in conversing with you also, I don't see why it is a problem. There is no way to get her contact info without her giving it to you. I would just leave a comment on one of her questions saying that you would like to get to know her better. I am sure she would be flattered, and I think I know who you are talking about! She seems like a nice lady. Good luck!!

What's up with this person?  Love interest?  Friend?  Just got the address from another person?  Do you want me to email him/her and find out for you?  Are you capable of asking this person their gender?  What do you want from us?  Shouldn't you be able to do this alone?

well because the person above SEEMS to be myspace bashing, i will put in my "two cents".  i would say do yourself a HUGE favor and do not go onto it everyday.  it makes you most excited when you get on and see a lot of comments instead of very little.  since you seem to be emailing with someone that you like, and can only contact thru myspace, i would say check it every wednesday, right in the middle of the week.  since this person doesn't write back very fast because he doesn't get on myspace much,  you are more likely to find an email by him one day out of the week, instead of checking everyday.  \n\nso yes, my advice is to get on myspace on only ONE day of the week, preferely wednesday [since it's in the middle], and to have fun with it on the weekends :]

If you don't mind the games as you suggest, then I'd say go for it. If you're looking for something more on the serious side, the best thing to do is ask her out. If I flirted with only one man, I definitely would be trying to send him the signal that I like him. I wouldn't be playing games. Sounds like she's just waiting on some type of response back from you. What are you waiting for?? lol

wrong approach: "hope you don't mind"  , if you don't think your worthy, why should she?   Instead, tell her you saw something that you wanted to share or made you think of her, compliment her on some attibute that you find attractive ( her laugh, her brain, her quirky sense of humor, etc....)  Leave an opening, or ask a question. to encourage a reply. But this is your first written interaction, take it slow, let her warm up to the idea of corresponding, leave her your IM address.  And don't freak out if she doesnt reply, its spring break, why should she check her email account?

Hi cooldure! I don't have a secret but I do have a little problem. Someone sent me a nice message today and I tried to email her back but it wouldn't go through! She hasn't gone to her yahoo mail inbox and opened the Welcome message that Yahoo sent her. She needs to do this so she can follow the instructions to confirm her account. After she does this people will be able to send her email! How can I let her know about this (hint! hint!).

Maybe something is wrong with the connection; as sometimes the connection is bad and "bumpy" due to reasons like distance( You're like really far away from her)...\n\nOr it's just that she is on and is invisible- try im'ing her and see if it goes through. And if she doesn't reply, she will, because even when the person is not online, messages will be left like on the phone, there is sometimes a recorder, well yim has one like that, but for "typing:...\n\nAlso, her username could be temporarily inactive. Or her service.\n\nOr maybe she gave you the wrong username...Or maybe she just made up one, because she actually doesn't have one or doesn't really want to talk to you.\n\n...As you can see, the list of reasons can be endless

If I were single and I received that email form a girl I was not interested in I would ignore her to avoid an uncomfortable situation. The sad truth is he is not interested. Sorry to break your heart.

Some questions to ponder: Is she already involved with someone else? Was it totally her idea to hang out today, or did you make a suggestion first? How long did you see each other when you ran into her at first? Hmmm. I say wait a week and give it one more try. There are numerous possiblitlies, and hard to second guess. She may have actually had some situation arise, needing to be somewhere else, or she simply wanted options and was leaving herself something to do in case whatever did not happen.....It is really impossible to know, if you are interested don't contact her for a week see if she calls you if not call. If it all goes the same way again - forget it.

hey, i went online, maybe you can too.  I've gotten lots of attention but haven't found anyone yet that I'm interested in dating full time.  It takes time but if you meet this person online, you could get to know her a little better and then maybe after a few emails, a few message sessions, and a few phone calls you might actually work up your courage to go on a date.  It might work!

i'm sorry for telling you this but...  if she wanna keep in touch with you, she would have contacted you long time ago.\nshe disappeared and doesn't talk to you any more because she is no longer interested in you.\ni think it's meaningless to try to locate her.

It seems a little tacky to me.  If I were you, I'd make contact with her and ask her out in person.  If you don't have much contact with her she may not have a good idea about who you are and an email may seem strange to her.  The personal touch is always better.  Don't be so shy.  The worst thing she can do is say "no" and the world won't end if she does.

Format :\n\n\n"Hey <name>\n\nHope everything is fine from your end. I have had the pleasure of reading through many of your forwards for the last few months. However lately my activities have leaned me away from reading nice  & pleasant mails that you forward. It would help me a lot if you can remove the current mail id of mine from your forwarding list & send it to my other mail id <create one>, which would help me read those wonderful mails when i really need some deviation/relaxation.\n\nthanks in advance "\n\nYou can create a new mail id & send it in you mail to the person. you would know that people hardly ask if you read their forward by name cos they hardly remember that.

The way I see it, is he isn't really interested. That is was different just emailing each other, but when she goes for a visit, his number is changed, and no contact until she is well out of the area. And now she is moving there, and he is very busy..... One: I would find out if he is married, or has a live in girlfriend. Two: ask him straight out what the deal is. Also you say she wants to cont the "childhood" romance.... she is all grown up now. And she really doesn't know him as a person, it sounds like he has changed. But I think she should ask him if he wants to have some sort of releationship with her. Or if he was just carring on a email romance?? Tell your friend good luck, and I hope she doesn't get her heart broken.
