Hi Vito,
Yes, I’ve also noticed people’s lack of responsiveness here. It mystifies me too. Women will send me a friend request. I respond by thanking them and ask them to tell me more about themselves or ask what it was about my profile that piqued an interest in friending me. Crickets. No replies. The conversation ends before it begins. I don’t understand.
Regarding long-distance success, I did have one very successful one. I met my dear Zaida here through this site. She was from Guatemala. I live in MD near DC. Despite cultural, geographical, and age differences, we emotionally bonded deeply, and despite differences, we were equals. We talked to each other daily through Skype, Messenger, Yahoo IM and phone. She taught herself English and it was near perfect. She was so bright, so loving, so supportive, so caring, so genuine, so sensual, so romantic. We were preparing to finally meet in each other’s countries when unexpectedly, on July 4, 2015, she died of cancer. That’s devastated me to this day. I cried to the heavens: “You can’t even give me this?” I love her and miss her immensely.
So I don’t know what the takeaway is of my story. Maybe it’s that one can find love and friendships here, but it’s extremely rare. Why that is, I could make guesses, but I hardly know.
