I suggest that the conversation be interesting and compelling to entice the other person to join in. A "what's up?", "Hey" or "Wanna chat?" isn't a great way to introduce yourself. The person who read something I wrote or participated in a back and forth conversation in which I contributed makes more sense.
KaTeeEvent · 36-40, F
@maybesomeday Why question yourself? Perhaps the folks you pm'd are not as interesting or as enthusiastic as yourself and you simply misjudged them as wanting to converse. I suggest you don't stop.
maybesomeday · 26-30, F
@KaTeeEvent I thought I was a decent judge of character. I only ever message people who have shared something in-depth about themselves, or someone who shares similar interests or view points to my own. Basically someone who talks about real things, and could potentially bring something interesting to conversations. Though I guess I have misjudged, which sucks, but I do still keep trying. Not sure if that makes me stupid or stubborn or courageous or whatever.
KaTeeEvent · 36-40, F
I suggest you don't second guess yourself or even be remotely concerned why someone is not replying. Perhaps the next four or eight folks you reach out to all come back to you with trumpets blaring. Perhaps there's a potential long-time friend in there as well. It seems you write about different subjects, have diverse interests and are inquisitive and as long as you continue to reach out you'll find similar members.

I'm never really bored enough to do that. The last time i did it went okay though.
maybesomeday · 26-30, F
@SailorMarz I don't think you've gotta be bored to do it, just interested in getting to know someone.
SailorMarz · F
@maybesomeday i'm not really interested in getting to know anyone here lately...tbh i'm probably afraid of being disappointed at them not pming me back or putting much effort into the conversation & then me seeing them differently from then on lol
LyricalOne · F
Very rarely.
SW-User
No PMs for me. Hahahaha. I guess they already found out that I'm boring af
SW-User
@maybesomeday tahahahahha Lols 😌 but idk. I'm not really a talker 😂
maybesomeday · 26-30, F
@SW-User You talk more than me, dear. 😉
SW-User
@maybesomeday hahahahahha but privately, or one on one, i can't 😂😂
daydeeo · 61-69, M
Yes, I do. How else does one get to know people?
maybesomeday · 26-30, F
@daydeeo Well, you'd think so. But when people don't want to bother with responding, it makes it kinda hard to get to know people.
daydeeo · 61-69, M
@maybesomeday true. Or when you get one word responses. That's fun.🙄
Sarah01 · 26-30, F
Same experience here- if you do not sent photos, they loose interest
SW-User
No, I hate initiating any message because I feel it would annoy people lol
Dusty101 · F
I have done once or twice. Then it just felt I was pulling teeth trying to chat. So I slowly whistled off the message tip toeing away... realising I was a bit daft!!!!
maybesomeday · 26-30, F
@Dusty101 Yeah, seems like such a damn effort to get people to contribute a conversation these days. Constantly being the only one to ask questions, show interest, introduce new topics. It's tiring.
Dusty101 · F
@maybesomeday probably think I'm tedious or something even though I can be alot of fun!!
Winenot · 51-55, F
Yes, and a lot more on EP as people actually replied back. Here, not so much as no one replies back- so it is a waste of time and effort.
maybesomeday · 26-30, F
@Elandra77 Indeed, I've noticed this as well; people seemed more interested on EP than SW.
I don’t initiate often, only if the person intrigued me in some way. I do however have a few friends I try to keep in contact with.
GlassDog · 41-45, M
Virtuaally never. I don't want to bother people, so I wait for them to come to me.
maybesomeday · 26-30, F
@GlassDog That's what I used to do, and no one ever messaged me; other than a few unimaginative or sexualised messages. So I thought I would try myself, and still yields not results. Just not sure what people want these days.
GlassDog · 41-45, M
@maybesomeday I usually repond if people contact me and we usually end up being friends, at least. I guess not everyone is looking for that, though, and some people just want an instant response and then no further contact.
TimSummers · M
I am here to chat with others. I hope it goes beyond "hi". Hope you have a great day.
SW-User
Sometimes, I normally wait till they've messaged me though.
Repete · 61-69, M
Not as much as I use to but I answer nearly allegations
JustNik · 51-55, F
Only those I’ve known a long time.
