So about a week ago I messaged this guy that I thought was attractive and it seemed like we might have a lot in common. A week later (yesterday) he finally messages me back, saying he's sorry it took so long to respond, and that my message was the best first message he's received, and that he's intrigued.

So we chatted back and forth for a few minutes, but it was late and I think we both fell asleep. We had left the conversation at me asking him a question, to which he never responded, and still hasn't responded. And just a little while ago, I saw that he was online. But still no response. My experience tells me I won't hear anything else from him.

This is so frustrating, to have a guy act like he's interested then just stop responding. I never used to have this trouble with online dating. I could get a date in an instant...but now, maybe because I'm looking for something more serious, it seems like I can't even get a conversation going with a man I'm interested in.

I know I want to get married and start a family. So yes, I'm looking for a man that wants that too, so does that automatically make me undateable, just because I know what I want? Aren't there men out there that want that or all they are all just interested in casual sex at this point? I feel like I missed the boat and now will never find someone I like.

I'm going to a speed dating event in a couple of weeks. I'm hoping maybe I'll at least meet someone interesting there, but I don't have too high of hopes.

This whole process is incredibly tiresome. I don't remember it being this difficult. Sigh....
