Yes it happens. That’s when you know it’s time to give them the cold shoulder, which surprisingly makes them interested

Well, we have to consider something else, as well. One can have quite a few different people to talk to on here, as there are so many here, and then you kind of get behind and sometimes cannot keep up cuz you've got to keep up with work that needs to be done at home. You want to, but sometimes you fall behind, not meaning to. I wish I could spend a lot more time with my friends on here, but I would get nothing done. I certainly don't mean to be slack. I try very hard to keep up but sometimes I can't.

Yes, it happens. They could be busy or have a million reasons why they seem uninterested at that time. But I wouldn’t bother them again.

No. I don’t reach out to people first and they really have to interest me if they contact me.

There are as many reasons why chemistry fails to materialize as there are fish in the ocean.....

What I usually advise when I hear statements such as the OP's is rather than totally writing off someone.... keep them in your friendzone.

Because they will have a circle of friends where you might find someone more to your liking.... OR.... they may eventually develop chemistry (it happens)....

Happens all the time. Best to cut losses and move on.

Yes. Oh well. I figure it's better that way.

If there is something to connect to I connect and form a sort of attachment whether the person wants it or not. 😂 At least mentally. The problem is with conversations. I don't like to feel like a bother so if I see someone doesn't want to talk to me I'm gone like the wind.

Yes...it happens.

Better to take your next step forward only when you see them taking a step from their own side.

Yes many times. The best thing is to just leave them alone and try not to take it personal.

Like in SW or in RL?

Yep, all the time. 😥

allllll the time

Move on...Live in the now

Yup

Yes

Yeah 😅

There are rare occasions where it really wasn't the right time.

There are even rarer occasions where the person sucks at signals. (I had a college friend reach out to me on facebook and tell me she had a crush back then. I asked her out in college and she said no... talk about confusing)

Yes and i do it too
