Ghosting

If someone sends me, "Hello, how are you?" and I rely with “Fine.” I’m putting just as much energy into my response as they did for their introduction.

“Hello, how are you?” is barely a step up from “wyd?”

<p>One thing I have noticed is that when people are being "Ghosted" is that many times they are not doing anything to push the conversation forward and toward a meeting. If someone sends you, "Hello, how are you?" and all you do is respond with "I'm fine.", the conversation will just fizzle out. If you are interested in someone, answer their question and follow up with any questions you might have or push for a meeting.</p>

This has been discussed in one of the other forums recently, but the concensus was Yes, it's worse lately.

It seems there’s a lot of ghosting going on this site, at least with me. Much much more than when I was on this site several years ago. Wondering if others have the same experience? As a single male, I rarely initiate contact with couples because they are inundated by guys. I figure if they are interested in me when they see I have looked at their profile and they will contact me. In the past, that approach has been good. Lately, I reply, politely introduce myself and never hear back from them (happens a lot with single guys going behind their wives backs) then may be a week or two later I’ll get another message “Hey, how’s it going?” I reply and get nothing back. Is it just me or is this site have the same problem that most dating sites do? Be interested to hear everyone’s experiences. A “simple no thanks not interested” is not that difficult is it?
