After 5 years of being single with 2 DC, I finally plucked up the courage to join an internet dating site. I submitted a profile initially with no photo and with very brief details and joined (not having paid membership). I looked at my matches and added a few men to my favourites and was really surprised to receive a message from one who I really liked the look of. However, as I did not have paid membership I could not reply to the message other than a brief one-liner to say that I would be back in touch once I had subscribed.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to join for another 6 weeks, due to lack of funds. I updated my profile with photos etc. I did then contact him again, with apologies for the delay. This time I get a one-liner back saying his subscription had expired and that he would be in touch once he had re-subscribed!
As it's become a situation of never the twain shall meet should I contact him again, with an email address (set up only for on-line dating) suggesting he could contact me on that instead or would that come across as too desperate? Or do you think he has lost interest and I should leave things until or if he contacts me?
