PROMISING CONVERSATIONS TURN TO EMPTY WORDS IN DATING GAME
DEAR CR-ABBY: I consider myself to be a nice, normal person. I know how to make interesting, intelligent conversation that can engage just about anyone. When I go out socially, I often meet people and we hit it off.
Typically, by the end of the conversation, there comes a point where it is decided -- usually by the other person -- that we exchange information, which includes phone numbers and e-mail addresses. I generally wait a few days before calling, or until an occasion arises to invite the person to participate with me.
When I call or e-mail, I always leave a message, but I almost never get a response back. Sometimes I wait to see if the person I just met calls me first, but it never happens.
Do people just pretend to be interested in me, or am I fooling myself? Or are they just too busy to make the effort to have another friend? I don't understand it. Am I missing something?

Dear Me Thinks Thou Doest Protest Too Much in Charleston,
"I'm witty, engaging, nice, and a social dynamo"...Well aren't you the cat's meow?...but then you get blown off.
You are confused as to where the disconnect is...one question!
Do you have a nice rack?
Thought not, buy one!!!
All we be solved and you will be beating off those Good Ole Boys with your hickory stick!
