    When I sent out interest messages I would wait 7-10 days (give them a weekend in there) and if I hadn't heard anything back I would write them off. I wasn't looking for a long term thing, I was busy at work and contemplating moving to another state. I just wanted to go out and have some fun when I had a day off. I met some nice guys, some ok dudes, and some real losers, but had fun doing it.

    I met my guy online a little over 5 years ago. I always responded to messages, either saying I wasn't interested thanks anyway, or asking questions if I were interested. In the case of my guy, I sent him a message telling him I wasn't interested in seeing someone that was so much younger than I was (7 years). He kept sending me messages asking why, how come, but you're so cool... we finally started chatting online as friends, and after months of me saying no I had a moment of weakness and said ok to dinner. He had never even seen a picture of me! That was all she wrote.

    Good Luck!
