I don't do this often but I tried another dating site which had more locals for me then here so I sent off a few emails letting them know I'm interested. So far it's 0 for 6 but it could be a bit late for them being it's midnight here. I'll update tomorrow. Here on Mingle I almost always get a response because I tend to only email forum posters

Good luck!!

I've joined a few other dating sites like you. It can't hurt. If anything, it ups your chances :)

Still no responses. Oh well, I tried. Not sure internet dating is for me. I think I'll stick to hanging out on Mingle forums for entertainment and try to find someone in real life

Ehhhh give it another week or two, it is a holiday weekend. People may be out of town in celebration.

You are a cutie with an adorable mini cutie...
it is only a matter of time until it
happens for you.

Patience..I don't have it either :-)

You really do need to give it some time, just kick back and relax. You know what they say..when you least expect it, BOOM there it is!!! Good Luck and I truly hope you find the one for you.

What are you actually saying in your emails? Are you trying to find something to chat about first, or just flat out saying you're interested and asking them out?

I typically start off an email saying I'm madly in love with you and want to have lots of babies =) No, I figure the fact that I sent them an email, it's assumed by them that I'm interested in them. I compliment something about their looks or something they wrote in their profile, try to bring up common interests, and ask questions to get a conversation going. Maybe throw in something to try and make her smile.

Soufie is probably right that I'm impatient, but out of six emails I would like to think at least one might have some interest and reply by now. That's alright though because I know that when things are meant to be, they just happen. You can't make it happen

Eh, an email is not necessarily an indication of interest. I email people all the time that I am not necessarily interested in.

But, if you're just commenting on looks, that may be it. If you're commenting on something in their profile, or common interests, that's a good thing. That being said, it is a holiday weekend, so give it some time and keep contacting new people.

You should be a lawyer

I agree that an email doesn't equal interest, it depends on it's contents. If I got an email similar to the ones I wrote, I would assume there's interest without it having to be spelled out for me

On another site, I comment on questions people answer and things that are written in profiles fairly often. Sometimes, it's just for conversation, rather than me being interested in more. Most assume that I am interested, though.

I don't know about everyone else, but I have to at least chat with someone for interest to be there.

Wouldn't you say though that by inquiring into someone's profile you are showing some interest in them by wanting to get to know them better. Doesn't mean romantically necessarily but it does show interest and could be taken wrong.

Yes, on some level it shows some kind of interest. Though, it doesn't mean it's a romantic interest. I try not to assume that either when people email me.

I have to see that I can at least have a conversation with someone before there is any interest there. We may have things in common, they may be good looking, they may have a well written profile, but if they can't even hold a conversation via email there will be no interest beyond that.

I've had people contact me, tell me they're interested and ask me out immediately. That always makes me skeptical, because it's not how I work. And then I wonder what the rush is for.

It sounds to me like you've got it right. :) If I got an e-mail like you describe, I would be more likely to respond, than not. I usually get "Hi." Not much there to start a conversation with ! (exazperaaating).

Anyway, time will tell. You've got a solid profile, if they check that, so good on ya!
All the best
