I recently put up my profile on match.com site and I contacted some of them whose profile piqued my interest. What I don't understand is they respond to my email after 4 or 5 days when I think its all over. When I give 'em my phone # they don't call even after exchanging 6 emails. So my questions are
a) What's the standard practice should I give my phone # to call or directly plan a date after 3 emails or 5 emails ?
b) Some who contacted me first when I write back asking them simple q (for example their fav. vacation spot) they don't respond back ? Why ? Are they all playing ?
c) What should I do ?
Thanks

Keep in mind you are contending with other people when you contact one - that person is probably trying to keep with the other inquiries; but they are some who play the game. He/she (and probably you) would weed out the bad ones from the good ones and finally select one. Its "window shopping" from home. Dont give out your phone number until after youve met the person! And meeting should be mutual between both of you when you are both ready and should be in a safe public place with a time limit on the first visit (few hours) so as to break away when it goes sour.

If you give a man your phone number right away, especially if he hasn't asked for it, that says you're desperate.
You also need to remember that each man is probably looking at several women, just as you are looking at several men. Out of 30 women, he might reject 25 out of hand, based on some little thing you haven't even thought of. Most of the rest, if not all of them, may be rejected after a few emails.
It's a numbers game, and that's how you should approach it as well. If you fall in love and marry the first person you meet on there, great, but don't expect it.

Talk to them for a while by email before you go all out wanting to talk to them on the phone. A few emails then asking someone for their number or giving you their number may seem a bit fast.
If they don't respond they may have found someone they liked better.. It does happen.
Just give it time. Try e-harmony instead..

I was on there for awhile. I met a wonderful man while on match.com. They usually send you some profiles and you check them out. I usually email them for awhile and I do not give my phone number out until I get theirs. I usually talk to them and I get to know them before I give them any information about my self. They usually ask you for a date after talking for awhile by email. You just need to be patient and the right man will come to you. You need to sort through all the men they send profiles to you and choose.

chances are most people have several dating sites that they belong too, and don't respond right away to all of them. Your best bet is to keep looking and if a "old" one shows up give it a shot!

Be prudent No phone # learn what you can about them through the net. The one interested in you will mail you promptly. Delay dating any one for as long as you can
