A person who just stops communicating without any rhyme or reason isn’t worth my time. Simply put, I’d move on and not look back and wonder “what if”. Always wondering “what if” can drive a person crazy. Just move on.
I’d check the local obituaries, and if the person hasn’t died I’d forget about him and move on. His lack of communication would show me that he wasn’t interested, and the whole point of online dating is to find someone that is interested who you also think is interesting. Of course if he has died, I’d certainly send flowers.
When someone stops communicating online, I just assume they want to drop any relationship we share online and just don’t have the social graces to tell me. It’s no big deal. After using online dating services for a while, you’ll get used to it.
In such a case it is clear the person is not interested and does not want anything to do with you. Just move on and find somebody worthwhile instead of wasting time on such a person who does not value you.
In such a scenario, I would assume either the person is not in a position to check my emails (because of an accident/ illness) or perhaps she is not interested to communicate with me. I would stop sending repeated emails.
I would figure that they had found someone else and leave it at that. I’m not one to hound someone. If they don’t show interest in me then I move on and look elsewhere.
