I prefer fasttrack, if only because I often get bored with my matches before I even get to OC because of the long process of canned GC conversation. However, unless I initiated fasttrack, I am sometimes stumped about how to get the ball rolling. The last two guys who initiated didn't give me much to go on except to confirm I was willing to go straight to OC with them. When I initiate, it is because I am really interested in the guy's profile and have something there to go with. But what do you write about when their profile is either not interesting or incomplete and they initiate fasttrack without asking any questions to get the ball rolling? Do you have any standard questions that you ask, or certain topics that you always cover? I could just use the GC questions, but what would have been the point of doing Fasttrack then.

If I'm so stumped with these two, then maybe I should have denied their requests,. After all, I don't usually have any problems with talking! But I'm trying to be open to the possibility they are good guys who just don't write interesting profiles. Any advise welcome.

Seems that maybe you have answered your own questions.

1. Since you prefer Fast Track and such a good "talker" why are you having a problem here?

2. If you can't find anything to talk about why did you accept a FT request?

Oh well I guess I will give you a suggestion. Go to your MHCS and choose something from there and then ask what their views are on that item are.

Yeah. I figured if they did fast track they would have something to say in their first email, but you have to accept Fasttrack to read it. Thanks for the ideas.
