I had done a reading not too long ago, and it had received quite an amount of views, almost half a hundred. The only thing that was missing was the replies from others. Then I noticed another reading which had 6 views and it had already gotten a reply.
Hi Meditarot, I can answer in a general level and in relation to your thread.
In terms of your thread: there were a few "red flags" that put me off from answering.
Firstly, you describe it as a relationship reading whereas you later mention you don't "bump into each other much" and there's a long history of hot and cold, i.e. it's a romantic interest at best, not a relationship.
The overall card for her is Page of Swords, which at best is a curious, humorous person, not anything romantic or passionate. So I thought it's one of the neverending unrequited love situations the AT is full, sorry to say. In those situations the querent normally won't take no for an answer but keeps insisting there is something in the air, even though nothing has happened for months or years.
Also, the thread was really long for just 3-4 cards. You wrote a full A4 basically, whereas you would have needed just a couple of paragraphs. The more effort it takes to chop the reading down for quote chunks, the less likely it is I'll reply.
In a general level, I tend to reply to readings where:
- I can see a coherent story or a meaningful answer in the cards
- I have an alternative view for the cards and a justification for them
- there are not many replies yet
- I think my advice can genuinely help the person (which doesn't seem to be the case in unrequited love situations, where the querent won't budge, as described earlier)
- the question is captivating, unusual or pressuring (someone's in distress and seeking for an answer, e.g. there's cheating, marriage breakdown or such going on).
Also, a neatly laid out presentation helps, as well as clear question.
