Recently, I (male in 30's) posted a thread(men seeking women, not casual) on CL and received few emails none of which caught my attention.

 

Then, one email, with a proper introduction and a genuine interest, much information as to her self, intrigued me so I replied last Friday with two pictures of mine which she required and with a brief introduction of myself and something that says I would like to continue to chat with her.

 

After that, I looked her up on FB since her name was already in the email, so I thought why not. And I liked her looks. Anyhow, so I was hoping that she'd write me back. She said it was her first time to write someone on CL.

 

Anyhow, it has been almost 3 days and I have not gotten anything back yet from her and I am tad antsy. I find myself checking my email account every now and then.

 

I know that should I not hear anything from her, I need to move on.. And the reasoning is maybe she did not like my looks.. not that I am not confident.

 

Anyways, I was wondering if it is okay for me to contact her one more time either thru email or on (more creepy) FB.

 

or, should I just move one.. maybe her email account has spammed my email (no obscene pics!)

 

Thank you.

Don't mention lack of contact.

 

Just send off one more email. If she doesn't reply you've got your answer.

I did sent a second email, saying I havent her from her and would like a chance to speak to her simply.

 

And I got this email.

 

=====================================================

Hi Jon,

 

I am sorry I have not written back to you. A strange thing happened this weekend. After I wrote to you I met a guy on the subway and he asked for my number. We went on a date over the weekend and I like him. We have gone out a few more times since Friday. I am sorry I haven't gotten back to you. I just didn't know what to say since it all happened so fast. For now, I want to keep meeting this guy I met. If things don't go well in the next few dates, I will write back to you but I want to give him a chance first. Thank you for understanding and I applogize. Take care and I hope you meet someone nice soon!

=========================================================

 

I am not sure if she is being honest or not.Anyways, without writing her back, I need to move on without writing her back, right? I don't any emontions or energy invested to her, so it is not going to be difficult.

You can send her another email, nothing wrong with that

Yes, move on. If you want to be polite, you can reply with something brief like, "Thanks for the response. Congratulations on meeting someone. Good luck to you."

You tried, for that you can be happy. But she's not interested per the email she sent you. Move on.

Be happy you got a response. When I was on CL, I was inundated with hundreds of emails and there was no way to respond to them all.

 

Move on.
