What should I realistically expect from this? I've been divorced for 2 years from a 15 year relationship. I'm currently waiting for answers from about 12 girls over about a 2 week period. In that time I've tried contacting about 20 with some getting closed and 2 no answers after a nudge. I've been on hear for about a month and have had a couple of dates with 1 girl but that didn't work out. I guess my question is,how long is too long for someone not to answer or at least close the match?

Also,what do you think about when you do send someone 1st questions and they look at your profile and don't either answer or close?

I'd say up to 10 days for the first round of questions. You never know if you've contacted someone just as they've left town on a business trip or for vacation. Bottom line, don't take it personally if someone doesn't respond. Keep moving forward.


Use this resource as one of several potential avenues towards meeting someone. Like anywhere else, you'll find some good people as well as some real duds; that's life. Be patient, and keep your expectations in check. Hope to make a good friend or two, and maybe you'll get lucky and something more will develop.


Good luck!

About 2 weeks. Don't try to pull teeth with non-responders.


In the meantime, do some spring cleaning, buy some new clothes and go enjoy the extra sunlight and warm weather AWAY from the computer.

Thanks for your responses. I guess also I've been on match.com since October and haven't got one serious response from about 30 contacts that I've tried to initiate. So it it can get discouraging.
