My experience on these sites is that most people will not communicate by or respond to emails. Is that a common experience for most members? If so, I am wondering how (or if) anyone ever actually meets another person from these sites.

I feel your pain, RG.
I did begin to correspond with a nice lady on another similiar site, and we must have talked like every day for a month. Then, I suggested we meet for coffee one day and she flipped out. She said, "you aren't really thinking that we should meet in person, are you?"
I wish she would just limit her participation to "penpals dot com" or something. ha ha
There is hope though. I bet a lady a hot dog on the Steelers/Browns football game last week and I lost (yeah, I had the Brownies). No great loss, I can afford a couple dogs. Working on scheduling our first meeting to pay up. Exciting, eh?
Wouldn't it be cool to like, take her to a World Series or Superbowl game and buy the hot dog there? Ha, ain't doing THAT on the first date though. ...why, come to think of it, I ain't done that on ANY date yet.

I have experienced that some times people do not answer e-mails. But I know when I don't answer a e-mail it is because I don't have interest in that person, or I have just had enough of all the e-mails.
And to the second part of your question, I have ment a few men from a few of these sites. Some with much disappointment, and other's with much surprise.
The sites can be trying at times, and we just have to sit back and take a deep breath and let things happen.

Not to pass judgement but why not. World Series or the Super bowl would be fun either way wouldn't it?? Might be expensive but whose to say she wouldn't pay her part just for someone to go with.

I actually enjoy the forums, and more so, just making others laugh. If you don't look to meet someone and can just be yourself, you'll come to find that you will make a few friends. Yet going about it with the intent of wishing to meet someone will only frustrate you as you are now. just my experience, as well as my opinion.

If they do not answer your emails, they are just not into you.

I would rather meet her first for coffee or something just to make sure that she's not totally whacked. I mean, what if she did something crazy like rip off her clothes and go streaking out onto the 40-yard line?!?!?! Then again, if Janet Jackson can have a wardrobe malfunction I guess its not such a big deal. Not only that, if she were a looker I imagine the guys (and some girls) would be lining up the beers for me, just for bringing her to the game. Hmmmm. ...and its tough to get a flight out so we'd probably have to spend the night in a hotel. Thank you for passing judgement bemenow, and I'm glad I can keep an open mind!

I have been on here for a little over a week, and very few emails...I guess everyone is busy, could be my profile. Help from anyone on that matter? Met a few from another site, but was not what I thought them to be. One said he was looking for a one man woman...we had a special relationship for about 6 months and he told me I was his only "ONE" then I found out he was on several more sites and had even dated some! I am not into players, druggies or alcohol. I guess I was just being "used".

I really think you can meet a lot of nice people to spend time chatting in the forums, etc. and you may or may not meet anyone in person, but then again you may and open yourself to friendship.
