I have noticed that I sometimes get a reply to my message just saying hi, or hello. One word and an emoji. I then reply back again and never het a response.
This has happened loads of times over the years.
Anyone any idea what it is all about? Does fab have auto replies? |

No it doesn't have auto replies.
Generally means they didn't find anything in your message that interested them enough to expand, but possibly didn't want to be accused of being an ignorant cunt who ignores messages. |

Yeah, this. I sometimes send a short reply when I find the person attractive but there wasn't enough in their first message for me to get things going. |

"Ok thanks. Just seems odd to take the trouble to reply, but if you aren’t interested to say hello, rather than no thanks!"

The responder is in a no win situation. There are many threads started by (mostly) men calling people rude because they don't respond, if you reply to a 'hi' message with 'no thanks' people will often respond telling you they were only being polite and saying hello they weren't asking to meet and now if we respond with a smile or a thank you its wrong.
What are we supposed to do? |

If someone is interested I think they'll let you know. If I get a short response or close ended response I'll take it as they are not interested and leave it at that |

I agree, just seems odd replying “Hi x  ” if you aren’t interested that’s all I was trying to say. |

It's doubly hard at the moment because people are sending festive good wishes, which makes me feel it's too rude to not at least say thank you  |

There's no standard here, apart from no reply or block = no thanks or that messages should be respectful.
People typically read profiles when they get a message, so you could experiment with adjusting it or your message contents, to notice how it might influence your results.
Assume recipients of unsolicited messages only have the ability to become interested, based on how you interact with them and also that they may be busy. |

I think a lot depends on what your original message contained. Often I'll get a "hi" type of message which doesn't really inspire a response at all but I'll say "hi" back just to be polite |

My messages always contain a polite introduction, a reference to where I am based, and what I am looking for. If I was to just message and say hi, I would expect to get nothing back.
It seems that everyone has different ways of doing things! I wasn’t moaning btw with this, just curious as to why it happens. |

We try to reply and say we aren't meeting at the moment and we're busy until way into the new year which is true but it's also a no thanks without hurting feelings x we may need to be more brutal I think as the replies we get are "oh I'm happy to just chat"  |

How would you respond to the ubiquitous “Lol x” reply? |
