I am afraid that a number of those people would like to flirt with you but if you don't give the right signal or indicate that you are not receptive, then they give up on you.

They don't realize (or don't want to realize) that there are other things a person can offer besides a flirt. If you take the time to have a deeper conversation, you realize that these people you have given up on have hobbies, interests and if you can trigger their interests, they make great conversation partners.

Where there is a will there is a way. Unfortunately, those people are not willing...

That’s why it’s best to never take anyone who hits you up too seriously. I’m used to it, but I remember it bothering me whenever someone ghosted me, especially if I was enjoying my conversation with them. Now it’s just whatever. I never expect a PM convo to go the distance. Those that have have been with already established friends and are the only ones with any substance to them, really.

People start a conversation with me and I’ll tell them what they want to know within reason. It’s nice to chat but after a while it gets tiring and sometimes boring. We’re very unlikely to meet in person most people here so what’s the point of carrying a conversation on for more than a few days/weeks. Some don’t even make it beyond minutes.

I dunno, that seems entirely apt and normal to me. I pretty regularly get the feeling that people would prefer to not talk to me and stop trying.

Often people are looking to distract themselves from something going on in their lives so they flirt and talk the whole day, then they will lose that novelty feeling and do the same thing with someone else. Lots of people like that.

ghosts 👻

Sometimes you don't have chemistry and its hard to say something like that. Better to let it fade away...

The initial conversation didnt go how they planned it to probably. Rather than being adults and saying so they decided to just ditch.

Ive had many do that to me

Yes, it's like they just dissappear, poof.
Then they reach out 3 days later with a "hello" 🤣.
How difficult is it to say, "gotta run, nice chatting" ?

Some people are more interested in telling you their story than hearing yours..😷

Seems to be how it’s done on here 🙄

I get fed up with people talking for a few hours and the next time they only give one or two words like they cant be bothered

Might not be their plan from the beginning. Sometimes it just doesn't work out.

loose interest ,

I've noticed that as well

Any positives 🤭🤭🤭
