Maybe I don't understand something... When I write to some people here on italki, they don't answer. In fact, the absolute majority of them don't reply anything to my messages. I don't know why. Maybe I wrote something offending for them. But Gosh, what can be offending in a proposal to be penpals and to do language exchange?! Are we all here on the dating site to ignore messages like this? No, this is language exchange site, as far as I know. But even so people could write me something like "Get away" and I'll catch the meaning. But they don't, they just keep silence. Maybe people just already have enough friends (I don't like this word in such a context but nevertheless) to exchange with. Well, in such a case, they might just write in their profiles that "I don't wanna any new friends here, don't bother me" and so on. But they don't. My another guess is that people are extremely busy to answer to my messages. Hell, I'm also a kind of busy person, but somehow I do find some time to read and write messages to people I connected with. At least short ones. In a way "Sorry, I'm strongly busy now, let's talk about what's really important." It's easy, but people don't do even this. Finally, if people here want to learn languages, how they want to learn them without trying tyo embrace different speakers? One more, one less to around 20 or 30, it doesn't matter, only the best will remain in the end. But for some reason people ignore my messages and friendship proposals. So what's the reason for the entire site to exist? Why people register here to log in every day just to ignore those who really want to learn their native tongues? Am I alone in my attempts to find a good speaker to talk with regularly? Maybe not every day, but at least once a week to have practice, to exchange with the news and thoughts. Do I ask too much? Maybe I should change but in what way? I've got no "origin of coordinates" to start with. Ah, people, who will read this, tell me please in comments, maybe I don't understand something...
