When I met my wife online (hold on, she was not my wife when we met but you get my meaning), she rejected our first date...never gave a reason and as far as what I felt at the time, she made me sweat for a couple of days. I sat around thinking perhaps I moved to quick, yada, yada. In the end it was my persistence (not to mention my honesty) the prevailed in successfully securing the first date (which lasted almost 12 hours I might add). I should also mention that in the grand scheme of things, AGE has a LOT to do with who you pursue and we are NOT talk'n numbers here, it's all about age and it's relationship with maturity. ;) If you don't get responses, it COULD be that the person may be away, the dating thing may be taking a back seat, no access to email, perhaps they were kidnapped.... I always looked at it as, if they are going to let you down, just drop the bomb instead of the "you know, gee, you are a really nice guy and all but..." BUTS are killers...enough said.
