Yeah that's basically it... something about you puts them off (or vice versa). They just identify that you're not their type through the first few messages... and if you bore them they think "sod it" and don't waste any more time. And the same will go for you with certain people you decide you don't fancy. That's the 'joy' of internet dating... because it's so impersonal people just don't give a ****.
 
Although you may be in the situation i was in 6 weeks ago, messaged her didnt hear anything for 2 weeks then out of the blue i got a message from her, turned out she thought she had replied to me and didnt, she said sorry about that and we are now going on our 3rd date tomorrow so I wouldnt give up that easily on someone.

So i'd say keep looking sure but dont cast her out of your mind just yet, give it some time, she may just be busy and not able to reply yet or she could be thinking about what to say :P
 
or worse, you do get replies, but little more than one "non committal" sentence.

Feel like just saying.
SO ARE YA BLOODY INTERESTED OR WHAT

:D
 
Date went great, went Plymouth shopping at Drakes Circus, spent 5-6 hours there, went for a meal at Buffet City which btw was fantastic, all you can eat oriental dish's for only 5.95 each.

After that we made our way back home to paignton where we watched a couple DVD's with a bottle of wine, great time togeather and we shall be meeting up again during the week, she wants to go out sunday for a pub roast so should be great.

PS: Does anyone know what the stone arch/bridge is called along plymouth road.

Here's an aerial shot of it.

Ok,

The one I was talking to with kids, well, we've arranged a date, 12 days now till we're meant to go, we've been chatting on msn and texting loads and tonight she said she needed a hug. So, in true gentleman style, I said, ok, I'll drive over and give you a hug. She didn't believe I'd do it, so I did.

After getting lost for 20 mins (she lives 20 mins away) and finally finding her, I've been chatting to her outside her house for 1 and a half hours and we got along great.

Pretty pleased with myself!

Is it normal for them to randomly stop replying? I suppose it's like window shopping where they'll just move on the next one if you're not perfect. It seems harder than real life!

I was chatting to someone online over a period of ten days or so when she suddenly stopped contacting me. Then, weeks later, I got an email out of the blue explaining that she'd met someone and they were making a go of it which is why contact stopped - she also apologised for not letting me know. I don't imagine if many people would have the nuts to send that kind of message (although it inspired me to do the same when I met someone special), so there's a good chance that's the reason.
 
I met my wife about 10 years ago online, In my spare time (normally when i got back from a nightclub with my mates and was nicely drunk) i would log into the old yahoo chat rooms, This become strangely addictive and i was logging in on a daily basis, I eventually met my soon to be wife on it and after about a year of chatting and spending only a few weeks with her (although we chatted on the phone and online all the time) she finally moved in with me, In 2003 we got married in Devon (where she is from) and in 2006 we had a son, All is well.

I used to think dating like this was for geeks and sado's but if you think about it there isnt any better way to get to know someone's personality (which lets face it is the thing you really fall in love with), The one thing that i initially did wrong was i told a load of lies biggin me up, this was because i hounestly didnt think i would ever meet these people.

My advice to people is that if you are having trouble having long relationships in your home town then give internet dating a try, It can't hurt as long as you are responsible.
