Help me decide (online dating poll-non-clicky)
I winked at three different people about a week ago. I didn't get anything back so no big deal. Well today, one of them winked back at me, so I'm not sure what to do, if anything. What say you, SO board?
Would you:
A) Send a quick email back?
Ignore because it's been a week and that's too long
C) Wait and see if he eventually emails?
The kicker is that I'm being a tightwad about it all and if I email back I will have to pay for the one month subscription, which isn't that big of a deal, I guess. Anyways, I'm open to whatever....what do you ladies think, and why?

Re: Help me decide (online dating poll-non-clicky)
I would say he probably doesn't check his account regularly. Or maybe he had a potential that didn't work out. I wouldn't take too much stalk in the time it took him to "wink" back.
Also I kind of believe in a back and forth thing on online dating. So I think it's your move. I wouldn't expect him to be the one to email.
I agree with pdx. When I was online dating and sending either winks or emails to people, some would get back to me the next day, some would take a full week. If it took the person, like, a month to do it, that would be kind of odd (unless they explained why in an email), but I think a week is pretty normal. Actually, that's about how long it took my current BF to email me back at first, because he was out of the country on a business trip and wasn't checking his account.
Anyway, I say send a short email back.
Haha, I just checked who it was....so this guy had winked at me last week. I was semi-interested so I winked back at him. Instead of emailing me back, he just winked back again. Obviously I won't be emailing him when he's been given the green light and just winked AGAIN instead of sending an email!
Yeah, that's a good call. I used to hate it when guys did that. Hello - it's YOUR turn dude!
huh? I guess I don't understand online dating bc I would send a flirty email
He winked at me.
So I winked back.
Then, he winked AGAIN. It shows to me that he's not interested enough to send an email or he is like me and not paying for a profile (because he can wink, for free).
Maybe online dating isn't for me. You're probably right.
Yeah... I'm generally not a fan of the winking - I figure why not just get down to it with an email. I'm sort of over online dating right now, so maybe I'm not the person to ask.
I guess I'm just kind of waiting to see if someone emails me that I would be interested in, before activating the account. It's not that I cannot afford $40, more that I like to actually get "something" for my money. When I unhid my profile I got quite a bit of activity and in the past week that has died out. There wasn't anyone I saw who struck my interest so I never activated.
I am trying to avoid getting too involved in checking the account, which I might do if I activated my profile because you can see who's viewed you, favorited you, etc. I've been going with the motto that it's just another way I'm putting myself out there and it's free (for now) so I don't have anything to lose. I figure if someone is interested enough in me they will send me a wink or an email, not just view my profile.
