It's not about being an awesome person (although I'm sure you are!) It's about finding the right fit. Everyone has different interests and beliefs, and is looking for comparability. I've done online dating in the past, and I was looking for something specific. When I realized someone just wasn't right for me (even if they were great), I stopped the conversation. No use is wasting anyone's time. I wouldn't invest too much in anyone until you've met in person. When I've talked to people online, I've usually been able to rule people out pretty quickly-- for instance, I don't like anyone who comes across as "pushy," I am turned off by poor grammar and the use of "text speak" or lots of emojis, and I am not religious. If I contact someone with a great profile, but they start hitting on one of those deal breakers right away-- that's simply the end of it. I'm sure you must have your own deal breakers, too.
