Do not message me...

...and offer me your friendship if all you're going to do is stop responding after two or three messages and lose interest in me for whatever unexplained reason.

I totally understand that, and then, when they're ready to talk, they pop up like they still matter after ghosting.
How about no.

@SW-User If you do, I'll miss you. We may not talk much in messages, but I try to in posts when able to. You're a great woman anyone should feel honored to know.

I hate when people do that, not on here but I mean in general. I like when people explain what is going on instead of just disappearing with no known reason.... Whether at a budding friendship or after having been friends for years... Do you ever explain when and if you decide to drop a friendship??? I do!
Well, there was one time (in regular email) that I had forgotten to answer someone. Guess for how long? For three years!!!! I had received to many emails for other stuff that her email was read but then pushed lower as other emails had come in... When I finally 'cleaned' my inbox, I suddenly came across an email that I hadn't remembered who this person was... OMG. I was so embarassed after I opened it and reread the email... I wrote back to her, profoundly apologising... She responded 'it's ok', but I never heard from her again... I deserved it. But I had never meant to 'forget' responding to her for so long...

If it happens to you on here, and you see they are online, could be that they read your message but after reading it, it doesn't show a number at top any longer, so I would suggest to try writing back to them. If they continue being online and not answering, then yeah,they are idiots just playing with your feelings. But if it's regular email, even fb, it could be that they meant well but just forgot to reply. Now you understand where I'm coming from. Maybe that's why I have so much patience... It was my only time that I waited so long. I have learned the hard way. Now I even message myself a notice on my phone to 'check messages from 'person' if i know I can't answer right away.

Yeah, sometimes if it genuinely seems like they forgot or something, I will try to give them the benefit of the doubt and try writing them again. If they make dumb excuses or whatever though, then I will know they are fuckheads that aren't worth my time.

I would like to thank you for your sound advice anyway :) If I'm really being honest, you sound like a sweet and caring individual. If you would ever like someone to chat with sometime on here (about anything!), my inbox is open to you.
@SubZeroSlays808 thank you.

Agreed! I don't need messages with just one or two words where I try to reply and be a friend, only to be ignored right after. Forgetaboutthat!

Not everyone is going to end up getting along with every person they message, that's just the way things are.

@SubZeroSlays808 I'm trying to make you understand that you have a choice in this. It's all to do with expectations, disappointment comes when we expect too much from things and people. Try just seeing a conversation as just that. When I speak to people and they are demanding commitment (however subtly) it tends to put me off talking to them. Just relax a bit, let things be as they are.

It's easier to make friends that way.

@ZenKitzune How about you understand that I don't appreciate that you are trying to justify the behavior of complete idiots and make it seem like abandoning someone you just start talking to is no big deal?

I’ve had the same thing happen to me. A lady messages me and we had a back and forth for a few messages in which she asked me a million questions and then apparently I must have given a bad answer or something because she just went dark on me. Oh well, I’m not one for harassing people but it was disappointing.

@Icantsoishant I've had that gotten to me before as well, sadly, and not just on this website. Girls can be extremely guilty of this crap, I've noticed.

Referring to someone specific?

@FacciaDiMerda As a matter of fact I was. The person was screennamed SamHarris, I believe.
