Don't feel rejected because you send an email and someone doesn't respond, that's the way it is.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Limiting the amount of time spent on such platforms is a good idea, as this will ensure people do not get too caught up in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Spalton suggests it might be wise to set a limit and decide to try online dating for a certain number of months to see whether it is suitable.<\/p>\n<p>People may well be hoping they find a long-lasting relationship this way, as Drew Lubega, editor of AskMen UK, recently suggested men place a great deal of value on meaningful partnerships.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Mark Wilkins<br> &nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-800638519-ADNFCR\"
