What AM I doing wrong?

Posted in Group: 

I just don't get these guys. I know guys think way differently then women. we are emotional and they are logical.. blah blah blah! Here is my issue.. I am on POF
(Plenty of Fish) & their "long term" site EVOW. Both are free sites, but no one makes these guys message me. But Like just this last two weeks, I changed my profile a little bit and changed my location to where i will be moving to in a few months. I figured i could talk to a few guys in that area and then i would have a better idea of who i will want to meet when i move down there. So i was talking to 5 guys. THEY ALL MESSAGED ME, i did not message them first, so there i figure they wanted to get to know me. So we messaged and i told them i am on yahoo messenger and we could talk easier on there. And they came and we would chat for a day or 2, and this is where it gets confusing.........they just QUIT TALKING to me. I don't even know what i said or typed or anything, they just quit. This has happened to me quite a lot since I left my husband in July 2010. others will talk until they meet me then quit talking cause they don't like bigger girls i guess, but its not like i don't tell them, they all know from the start that i am a bbw and if they don't like that then fine., but i don't want anyone telling me i lead them on or anything like that. I dont tell them I a talking to more then one guy, we talk about normal 'just starting to talk' things. nothing super in depth. Whatever they ask i answer, but then they only sometimes answer back. I wonder if it is just me, and maybe I just want them to be as interested in getting to know me as i am in getting to know them. Is it because I don't have a life and they probably do that it takes days for these guys to respond back? 2 guys seemed like they clicked with me.. we were wanting the same things from a relationship, but now its been 4 days since we chatted, i just don't know what I am doing wrong! Its so frustrating!

I totally get it! Its very frustrating! One thing to be aware of is that some guys will stop talking to you the moment they realize that you are not going to be a 'hook-up' partner for them. Its true unfortunately- many guys use online dating sites to troll for opportunities. You probably are aware of this already, but its something to keep in mind often. If they messaged you and already saw your picture there should be no reason for them to back out b/c you are a bbw. Because online sites are so anonymous, much like the bar scene, there is no accountability for bad behavior....and they can just stop talking to someone without an explanation. The way I see it, they really dont know you, they are looking into all options and checking things out- try not to personalize any of this. ITs not about you, really, its not. But I DO UNDERSTAND how frustrating and hurtful this start and stop communication can be. You are not alone in that! Its a very hit or miss process and for now try to take it in stride, keep yourself busy with things that interest you, have a book you are interested in, try meetup.com also to engage with more people.
Best,
