I think we are all different Mariya, both men and women. Some are here to merely kill time, and some are serious in their intentions of finding a partner in life. I could not imagine having a large number of friends on this website as giving people false hope and stringing them along is cruel! I talk to a small number of ladies and I have one lady in particular that I hope will become my one and only! Getting to know someone properly is more important than small talk. If someone is not engaging you deeply in e mail conversation then it usually means that they are interested in someone else. I never feel agrieved or annoyed if anyone is not interested in me, like I said we are all different.
