I have a profile on OKC, and I'm guilty of not replying to many messages I get. If I get one that just says 'hi how are you', I'm probably not gonna answer. I also hate getting ones that say something like 'I know you're probably not going to answer but it would be awesome if you did because we have a lot in common and I would love to hear from you'. If we have a lot in common, maybe start an actual conversation?
To encourage first message conversation, my profile currently says 'you should message me if you can explain your choice of gen 1 starter pokemon'.
I also get people asking me on dates/for my number as their introductory message, which is just a bit creepy. I like to have a back and forth message conversation, then probably take it to Facebook chat, then organize a date.
I've probably met about 10 people in person, dated one of them for about 3 months, but none of the others got past first date.

I have a profile on OKC and I have been very successful. I will tell you the trick that I use in order for girls to be interested in me. I never message them I make them message me first. I do that because I want to talk to a girl that is interested in me. What I do is I visit their profile and if I like them, I will give them five stars. When they log on again they will see someone gave them five stars and look at my profile. If they like what they see, they will message me. I had over 20 girls message me first. Sometimes I visit their profile and then they visit mine and they will give me a message. Make them work for you do not come to them first.

So I saw this girl on POF and decided to write her. I get a reply of well I kinda am seeing someone and I want to see how it goes before I talk to anyone else. I of course think to myself well then why exactly do we have a profile on a dating site if we are already seeing someone then?? I did respond by saying well that doesn't mean we can't be friends.
I jokingly wrote a girl and was pretty blunt and said you are hot/attractive lets go out. She responded and was amazed by how straightforward I was so don't be afraid to try that.

I think this is an awesome idea - it lets the gal know you're interested, and then gives her the control to take the next move if she wants to. Of course that's true with just messaging someone too, but if you're someone who isn't sure what to say on the first message, it's definitely a nice way to go. Who wouldn't like being rated 5 stars? ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

OkCupid! sent me an e-mail that says, "you are hot!" It based on clicks on my profile and reactions on Quickmatch and Quiver. Also 7 people waited me highly, but I have to pay $15 a month to find out, who they are.

Holy Shit! This girl just asked me out on the OKC. It didn't know it works that way.

I have been talking to someone lately who I have talked to before, back in 2005 anyway. Do you think I should mention that we've talked before?
By the way, it was on MySpace when we talked a long time ago.

I'll give it some time.

Man, I was talking to what I think was a girl for the past two months, but she would never call me even after I did or not be on a webcam when I would. Last straw was when she asked for money to be wired in a suspicious way. Lesson learned is all I'll say. Onto the next.
