No. We are all different and do things differently. I have been known to block people mid-conversation if 1) they are rude and creepy and 2) if all they can do is small talk.

They also could be men, masquerading as women or couples. Getting into explicit sex chat is usually an indicator.

Why? Maybe they are running their profile the way they want. Maybe you said something they didn't like. Maybe they found you boring. Maybe something came up in real life. Who knows, apart from the lady who stopped chatting.

9 out 10 times, the reason is that he's simply bored he to the point that I can't be arsed to keep a 'conversation' going.

The other 1 time, he's said something to put off.

Best to start your own thread under the meets or advice section rather than hijacking someones thread.

"Why do women chat with u for a few hours or days then suddenly they go quiet on you can the lovely ladies educate me on this?"

I did it to someone the other day as we chatted nicely but then he got sexually graphic and it wasn’t what I was comfortable with. I don’t know if I read it wrong or he did, but it was too early in conversation and felt like an attempt at cyber sex which isn’t what I’m about. I keep meaning to answer but just haven’t.

Sometimes it’s because someone is intense, or annoying or pushy or you just realise you’re not on the same page. -Mrs

The first message may be witty,but maybe the woman's attention isn't getting held. Most women are getting multiple messages a day, so if she's not getting anything from the messages, she'll move on. Savage but true

Guy gets no replies.

Guy goes on forum asking how to message people.

Guy sends messages that aren't natural to him

After a couple of these the other person realises he is faking it.

This is why it's important to be yourself from the start, not just say what you think the other person wants to hear.

Thats exactly it in my experience. I love the flirting. If a guy can talk me into bed they are half way there. That will never come with endless repeated messages saying i want to fuck you. No imagination at all.

Real life has a habit of taking over. If I don't answer straight away it means I'm busy.

The constant bombardment is a definite turn off.

Sometimes there is no answer to what's said and silence means try a different more interesting question or saying something about yourself. If you're boring and unimaginative with msg then likely to be in person too

I have this happen to me all the time with men. It's not just women, people in general can just be really shit. It's generally easier to just ignore someone rather than have the courage to tell them you've changed your mind. People treat each other very disposably these days. Just this weekend alone I've had 5 men start ghosting me after arranging to meet. It's very frustrating; sometimes I understand why men fly off the rails when they don't get replies etc.

There's a difference between acting badly to rejection and being ghosted. If someone rejects you and you answer with anything other than "that's okay, thanks for letting me know" then you're a twat tbh. At least the person took the time to let you know. If someone has been talking to you for a while and you've set up a meet etc only for them to start blanking you that's not rejection, that's straight up rudeness and I'd say you're justified to pick a bone with them about wasting your time like that. People on here and dating apps in general seem to forget that people have lives and feelings that they're disrupting. It takes about 10 seconds and the tiniest bit of courtesy to not let them hang on to something that isn't happening.

Lack of reply means that they feel they can do better than you. It’s so easy to find someone, why settle for second, forth or even ten thousandth best.

Probably the same reasons most female men and couples do it...!!

For Their own personal reasons s. Not always to do with you.

No one is a mind reader and everyone has their own freedom of choice.

Personally

Im a busy person and have a life. So I flit in and out of conversations on and off fabs..

Because I can and I want to...

That's how it works for me and suits my lifestyle.

If someone seems insecure about that. I'll pick up on the vibe.

There are so many reasons we cant assume some are standard as listed above and some not so.

But it all boils down to the other persons preference for choice how they spend their precious time and doing what with whom !! Xxx

Not ways about rejection it's time.

As fabs says a no reply is a no at that time .. Accept it and make fab friends in real life..

From what I’ve seen with H, it can be you’re demanding why she hasn’t messaged back immediately, she’s a mother and runs a business from home, sometimes things take precedence, if they do don’t turn little bitch about it, it will not get a reply.

The sheer number of messages we (in reality she) gets bumps replies down, yours may get missed, often found days later in a deleting session.

Sometimes you taken sex talk too far, too soon

Sometimes you’ve sent a dick pic after been told she doesn’t want then. This speaks volumes about your respect for boundaries.

If I were female, I wouldn’t give half the attention/chances she does.

There’s a ton of reasons. Most of the time you never get a reply, it is your fault, ask yourself why

This is a subject I've seen on here a number of times.

The female position is that, for whatever reason (and they are plainly entitled to do so) they change their minds, decide you're not worth pursuing etc etc.

This I quite understand.

What I don't understand is that it seems acceptable here to just blank someone mid-chat. It's a bit cowardly and just plain rude.

It's hiding behind the anonymity afforded by the site like all manner of internet trolls elsewhere.

Time plainly isn't the issue, as we're talking about termination of ongoing conversations which otherwise might have continued.

I know I'll get it in the neck for this, but the fact that it is the way people behave doesn't mean it's the way they should behave.

A little politeness is free, and goes a long way.

On here I've found that if I'm polite people will take liberties. I don't know where the next bout of abuse, threats, or trying to negotiate past my clearly stated boundaries will come from. In terms of trolling, I suggest that's the real problem.

Conversations can stop and start for any reason. There generally isn't any urgency to them. Expect nothing and you'll be pleasantly surprised sometimes.

Make no mistake, I expect nothing, and I've not been surprised yet.

But it isn't the reason for stopping that's the issue for me. Of course there are as many reasons as there are conversations. Folk keep returning to this but it's a red herring.

The issue is the impolite way of ending the conversation. Or, more to the point, no ending it properly at all.

It means the mail filters won't work if they put the filters on in the future. If they reply - even if it's a "no thank you" - the site software assumes they want more mail from that person in the future because they mailed each other.

From my perspective I chat with most, do not judge or discriminate, but often guys after chatting a little assume a green light and they become pushy and then belligerent. So if they start to go that way I stop talking to them. They seem forget that a hello is simply being polite and not a green light.

When I try to be polite it often backfires. Some don’t take rejection well and abuse follows or they get pushy and think they can coerce me. It’s uncomfortable. No one owes you an explanation for not wanting to message. A few messages doesn’t mean they have to explain or break up, they have decided so if they aren’t answering it means they don’t want to. Just move on to someone who answers and try to figure out what you’ve done that maybe has ended the chat. - Mrs

Your repeated comments really do smack of entitlement to an answer or an explanation. In a pub sometimes people exchange a few words and just go their separate ways, it’s not rude. Demanding the emotional energy of others isn’t fair. Sometimes I just don’t feel like saying no, don’t feel like hearing abuse, don’t feel like setting myself up for it. I send many polite messages but some days I don’t give a damn and shouldn’t be told that it makes me ill mannered. The expectation that women owe a polite response to the inundation of utter bullshit, is ridiculous. Even if you’ve exchanged some chats, maybe for them it wasn’t going anywhere and they’ve simply walked away. Stop telling us we have to answer and do things the way others want us to or we are rude. That’s rude. I don’t tell a man in a pub “sorry that was nice but now I’m done talking” I owe nothing to anyone.

I have nice manners on here and am usually too nice and take a lot of shit on messages, but it’s up to me what I do . Maybe you’re coming off as pushy and you’re unaware.

When I've chatted politely and ended the conversation with a thanks but not for me this has led to a string of why nots, trying to persuade me otherwise or abuse. These kind of attitudes put me off continuing or even entering into a conversation. I can normally tell as the polite part starts to gradually decline.
