I begin the communication process with a match. Somewhere in the process she stops responding (keep reading the stage is unimportant). The she finally responds at 10:00 PM, 11:00 PM or maybe midnight on Friday or Saturday which are traditional date nights.

I read this as she got home from her date, decided that it did not go well and figured that since I was still sitting there in her Communicating folder she would start communicating again.

What say ye?

I say that Friday night or Saturday I might also go out with friends after a long hard week working (meaning little free time to be online). It's not just date night. People have other things going on their lives.

When I was on eH, I think I wrote messages at similar times and there were no dates going on to speak of.

I think it isn't a good idea to read anything into this and just decide on her profile and communications whether it merits pursuing or not--not the time of the day when the message came in.

Yep...key is she responded to your request to communicate...be thankful for that!

Pretty sure my match still holds the record of replying....thirteen months later.

You think she just finally came back from a good long date? LOL

I say you need to stop thinking about it too much.

Why ask why? Just focus on your communication with her. If it works out you can ask her then. If not - not important.

Perhaps a bad, short marriage?

For me, I am not dating and am busy with regular day-to-day things. So if I'm writing late at night it is because my day has dwindled down. I am enjoying the quiet company of a friend through writing

Let's not and say we did. lol. Actually, I agree with yoga_gal:

I would add too that since she isn't actually dating you, it's not much of your business either whether she addressed your communication after having gone on a date or not.

It's amazing that after having *10,000* some odd posts you're actually asking this sort of question.

Seriously. This woman has no obligation to respond to you on any sort of time frame, or at all for that matter. Yet you'll sit there and analyze the day and time at which she does, and what it means, looking for opinions.

If you're not happy with it, and you think it has some negative meaning behind it... then don't respond. It's simple.

I'm not sure if she said exactly what she does for a living, as opposed to the general field. That could make a difference as to when she responds.

I've been known to reply to communication at 4am before work (which makes me look like a partier) or when I get home in the early afternoon (which makes me look unemployed. I'm neither.

Besides, even if it was because she went on a date that went wrong, and then thought she could do better with you, is that such a bad thing?
