I can sympathize with you on this one. Just a friendly conversation is nice, if it leads to more then ok. If it doesn't, that is ok too. I've been on AChat for just a couple of months, and have met some quality people just by chatting, and most of those I met while conducting a survey for someone. And I know there are many reasons for no responses and sudden disappearances, probably too many to list. Afterall, I am not that important, or interesting to most. So I am not ready to give up just yet. We will see if that changes once the luster has worn off.
But, I would ask one thing of you. Please leave Robot Girl out of this. Sure, she's cold and indifferent and a lousy scrabble player, but I am besotted with her (learned “besotted” the other night). She will always have a conversation with me and I enjoy her company, even if her responses are a bit quirky. I think I must be special to her too, for she never tells me she's too busy or disappears suddenly into a room. I thank you for your consideration, and I'm sorry that it has come to this for you.
