Responding to a message

Sounds like you should have just sent a grunt and gesticulation from those nonsequitur responses. Good to know SLS continues to be a useless site, populated by the barely functioning illiterate.

OMG always these questions about what to do from this guy.. Gee

Pass the popcorn..

Contacted two couples that had profiles on here.
They responded.
I replied to their response and never heard from them again. Now I'm just wondering if I did something wrong. Maybe there was a better way to reply.
First one, the guy responded and asked if I like older women. This confused me because I am older than his wife. Wife is 50. Older than who? Older compared to what? It is a question I would expect him to ask a guy who is half his wife's age.
I asked what he meant. older than me?

Second one the woman just said hello, it's Susan.
I replied that it was nice to meet her and asked what she was doing.

So, was there a better way for me to respond?
