But from what I have noticed is that lack of communicating is a lack of interest. Am I playing too much into this communicating thing or is this something I should worry about?

I agree with. Rex - the only person who can help clarify communication issues is the person you're having issues with. Ooor maaaaybe a very good friend who knows you both. But random internet fol don't fit either category.

There is a big difference between "our communication isn't what it should be" and "they've stopped responding to me in any way for weeks".

If it's the latter, while it's possible some real-life emergency has emerged which entirely prevents them from even having the opportunity to let you know about it, it's more likely that they're not interested. This may well have nothing to do with you - they may have been dabbling on this site and things got too serious for them, they may already be involved and this is just an outlet for some imaginary fun, they may be someone completely different who just logs in here to make bizarre profiles, they may have been intrigued by this lifestyle but then backed off when things got possibly too real.

Have you asked them about the lack of response? How long have they been silent? A day or two is no big deal. A month with no replies after you've been conversing steadily would make me assume things are done. You say you have a meet set up ... I would think they'd talk to you before then to firm up plans ... but the meeting will settle things one way or another.

I don't have enough fingers and toes to count the number of times I've had a meeting date set up only to never hear from him again after he asks me. Communication dies online in an instant. I do believe that's simply how it goes with online searching. Ergo, I've turned in that towel and am going to lurk around military bases and fire stations, instead.

Status: offline 		Were I in your situation my first assumption would be that the other person had decided they didn't want to meet in person after all, and so was trying to ditch me. I wouldn't assume it was a problem of me not communicating well but of the other person not wanting to communicate at all. It doesn't matter how charming and effective a communicator you are, if they've decided they're not interested for any number of reasons the relationship is pretty much over. Now that totally might not be what's going on here, and you should definitely ask the other person involved, but that's what my first guess would be in such a case.

That happened to me. People flake. My guy flaked after he realized I was expecting sex ;)

Before he officially flaked, his communication dwindled considerably.

Status: offline 		Yeah, if its online and the communication has stopped, the sub is no longer interested. Perhaps she dropped off because she wanted the rush of submission, but in a safe, online environment. As soon as a real life meeting was set up, she could have flown the coop. Maybe she is just bored with you, or feels guilty about her desires and has just now decided to call it quits. Without talking to her, we don't know. But, if communication has ceased, she is no longer interested.

Status: offline 		Seems he is too busy to talk but can facebook or whatever he does online, which is my big concern. He  has email of mine and probably take less time to send one, but yet I never hear from. We spoke last night but he was "busy" I could tell, but he wants to talk during the day when his "football games" were on. I'll let you know how I feel after that chat. Yes, I've had several online "flakes" in the past which is why I'm so consumed with communicating.

Status: offline 		He is having his computer "worked on" but it's been a while, not sure how long a computer fix is or what was wrong. Honesty and transparency rules with me but I don't want to accuse him of anything without being sure. I've been very forthright with him about my situation. I don't have a phone but I do have google voice I could use. But at this point it's only been messenger and email

The message your getting is the same one you would get in real life when someone doesn't call you back. What is so hard to understand that they lost interest in you???

Nope don't worry about it a bit.

That's cuz you're the only person left in the relationship room and the last person to leave turned the lights out.

Status: offline 		It sounds like whoever you have been chatting to is fine with online but got cold feet once you decided to meet. It happens.
Either because they;re afraid of rejection when you meet, or they haven't told you the truth during chat.

Lots of males pretend to be females online. Lots of people who are married exploring a fantasy of what life would be like if they were single. Lots of people who don't tell the truth about their age/height/weight/hair color etc.

In the future, meet as soon as possible with no pressure, just for coffee. And don't overinvest in a relationship that hasn't become real yet.

Status: offline 		To many people this M/s or D/s stuff is really appealing and a huge turn on. However, when faced with a real encounter they bail. It's common and not unusual. If the person you have been communicating with stops getting in touch with you, then they have probably decided that they are not ready for a face to face meeting.
