I agree, just because someone is online doesn't mean that they felt like writing an email. Maybe they just wanted to read what you wrote and plan on replying later when they get some more free time.

But sometimes I just take an interest in someone else and forget to write people back. Or sometimes I read through their profiles again and notice something I didn't notice originally. Sometimes I just decide that she probably lives too far away. Sometimes they say something in their emails that is a turn off for whatever reason.

Sometimes they will email back but it will be a very short answer, or they don't sound very nice or ask me anything about myself and I feel like they're only writing be back to be polite. I'm also a bit ADD.

Hmmm. Maybe he hasn't had the time to come up with a nice email yet. Or maybe he sent a bunch of emails out and found a new mate. I dont know. Don't give up. It's very rare for women to write men back on these damn online sites. I find him lucky that you responded to him.

I always write back even if I'm not interested. It's a nice gesture.
