LOL! OK so I couldn't think of a good subject line.
Is it just me, or are others having the same problem I do. Send or recieve a email from someone, after 2 or 3 emails back and forth all of a sudden you don't hear from them again. No, I found someone else that sparks my interest, we had nothing in common, the 24 toes you have turned me off ( ok I really only have 10 lol ) NOTHING!! Just POOF!! 
And it's only a couple harmless emails like the basics, name, age, rank, serial number. Nothing pushy, no falling in love by the 2nd email ( save those for the russian and nigerians LOL ) No disrespect to the legitimate ones out there 
The latest one, I send a email to a woman on here. Takes her a week to log into her account, but when she does, emails me back and even sends her phone number. Say's she rather talk on the phone then emails. That's cool. Less typing for me lol. So I call her, we have a nice converstaion, it gets late and she's off to bed and says she call me the next night.
She holds true to her word and calls. We are having storms in the area, and my cell is breaking up very badly. After 2 minutes and hearing about every 5th word she says I ask her let me call you back from my house phone so I don't have to keep asking her to repeat what she says. Say's thats fine and we hang up.
I call back right away, voicemail. OK maybe another call came in while I changed phones. 5 minutes later, 10, 30, hour later. Nothing but voicemail. Long call lol.
I try the next day 3 times, and for good measure the following day 2 times. Voicemail. Needless to say, never heard from her again.
Do people get that upset you changed a phone to hear them clearly that they decide to never talk to you again? LOL
Guess I will just plug away and keep  myself on the head and try to figure it out. Hope all your luck has been better then mine

My luck has been no better, lately. Have had several situations similar to the one you described. One never went past the first phone call. He had asked me to call him. I did, at the time he said was good, even. He conveniently had to "get back to work" after about 2 minutes, then never heard from him again. Frustrating, isn't it.....

I've had some EXCELLENT luck here. I've found some absolutely wonderful people and I'm sure you will too. Like any large community, there will be a mixture of all types. Just weed out the incompatible ones and focus on the compatible one(s).
It WILL happen for you eventually. Hang in there !

Ya, unfortunately it has happened to me too. Sometimes after that first conversation or 1st meeting one decides, nope I guess I am not that interested in this person after all, but it is hard telling someone who is obviously interested in getting to know them better that their not all that interested, but to avoid hurting their feelings telling them so, they just avoid them, which is just as bad.
Your not alone, just keep on plugging, after awhile the signs are clearer and clearer and after that first "no pickup" you know then she has changed her mind and you will walk away from the phone and tell yourself, okay if she is still interested she can call me back and leave it at that.
Good luck to you.

If it is that much work - then it may be that you are lucky they don't respond!!! It is all in how you look at it - If they are so sensitive that you changing phones upsets them, be glad you found out early!
I figure the ones who don't respond have done me a favor - they have saved me the time I might have spent to see that they aren't interested!
The right one will be worth waiting for and worth the "weeding."
Good luck ~

Honestly you sound impatient.............. I sometimes take weeks before logging on here. It has nothing to do with the person that might be wrighting me. However the phone call is rather sad. But better to find out that you're not their type on line or by phone rather then after meeting a few times..................... She should have just told you the truth. I wish you luck and I wish her a coward just like herself!

I think people sort of connect via email than move to the next level, phone and thats where men either loose me or we continue pretty quickly. Don't give up or take it too personally. Even the best ones often move on for different reasons which sometimes is really sad. If distance is really a hell no than don't bother, or size, or children or whatever one has on their list. I often think these are the problems with online dating as`there is always another profile with someone who "seems" better. Good luck!

It depends! I met some great people here but probably we are looking for different things. I just noticed that people dont trust each other, dont want to meet, trying to write emails, talk on the phone, judge each other just seeing pictures. Should be more trust I think! Its OK to search!
At the same time I do remember cell connection in NY stae! It was so bad! AM! It was only one woman! lol Why do you think russians fall in love after the 1st email? I am Russian and I dont!

radracer - What crazy thing were you saying to her before you disconnected from her?
As I said, the conversation was barely 2 minutes old. Basically there were the hello's, said she just got home from visiting her aunt, and I explained my cell was breaking up and let me call back on my house phone. The rest is history lol. Or in this case, lack of I guess lol
Just43Lady - Why do you think russians fall in love after the 1st email? I am Russian and I dont!
I am sorry Just43. As my post said, there was no disrespect intened. I was just trying to be a bit comical and referring to the scammer emails.
Just a bit strange that is was her who made this call, then POOF never to be heard from again in the middle of switching phones.

You have to understand that most here are NOT really 'looking'..
It's kind of a fantasy of 'pick that guy/girl'
Unfortunately, computerland has made this fantasy where you can 'pre-order' what you want and leave the real life out of it.
Get out more.
Meet REAL people..

If a person is not interested, they should tell you on the phone, not string you along. I used to say, "We'd be better as just friends", the guys got the hint, but I never left them hanging. If a person is supposed to phone you back, they should, it is common courtesy.

You are not alone on this topic, I think the majority of people (men and woman) are just on MD to see how many notches they can get on their belt, my comments to them is "get a life". Some of us are real and we do not deserve to be treated like that...enough said...back to searching the net lol
