It’s happened to everyone. You connect with someone online; go back and forth with a few flirty messages; and then POOF! They’ve suddenly fallen off the face of the Earth. You keep sending those emails, but you’re getting no replies.
This is called rejection.
It stinks.
Online rejection carries its own specific sting simply because you have no one else to blame but yourself. If you’d never met the person or you hardly know them, then you can’t blame it on something fundamentally wrong with them. Rather you have to face the facts and acknowledge that they just weren’t that into. This can kill your self-esteem. But don’t let it bring you down.
The online world is not a personal one. A person may stop messaging you for a number of reasons; Maybe things just got serious with another user? Maybe they got back together with their ex? Maybe their account expired? Maybe they were abducted by Aliens? Who knows?
The point is that you are never going to know why they’ve stopped messaging you, so you might as well cut your losses, save yourself the worry, and move on.
The internet isn’t for the fainthearted. You’ve got to toughen up and realize that you can’t take anything personally. The truth is that many people will not reply to your messages and those that do reply will likely not reply forever. It’s just part of the game. Why would you want to be with someone who doesn’t want you anyway?
Move on. There are plenty of fish in this big digital sea.
