so shes 30 im 22, yes its a bit of a gap, but i tend to attract women in that age range,

great open, had about 8/9 back and forths, then she asked why i like older women,

i said i like the emotional maturatiy, aswell as the fact they have their own lives, friends and goals.

so no reply for about 5days, i thought i should just give up, i dont like to appear like im chasing, then she mails me today just saying "hey"

i said you can do better than that lets try this again,

so she replied sorry i was mailing you but got distracted, hows the young thinker?

is that good or bad?

i replied,

what were you going to write?

I'm busy as usual, now ive got to come up for a nick name for u.. i'll get back to you on that one.

maybe when i know some more about you.

any tips/ideas for getting offline?

As long as you get replies you are the game. Most women simply will stop replying when they lose interest. I'd be mostly concerned with the gap between exchanges. When someone only writes every 5 days you probably aren't a priority. You want someone that comes online and immediately looks for messages from you. I'm like you where I don't like to chase. But sometimes a random email from you to them may get conversation started. It's all about trying to create a moment. What I mean is there should be a specific chat that is that relationship changing chat where it goes from chit chat/quickie messages to conversation. Personally, I go much slower than most guys. I don't rush to get a number or to meet. That's just my preference though. For me, it seems to create a bit of a bond and a bit of mystery. It's more successful for me.

it was quite a few on the first couple days, then nothing and 2 within a hour today, so where should i go with this?

mystery making topics?
