How do you guys proceed. I wrote a woman. She called me, I called her. She said she would write and send some pics and never does.
I'm thinking of calling again but hesitating. My thinking is since she did not do what she said she is not that interested so why bother.
 I think in the beginning  people should show interest to encourage it to get off the ground. What are your opinions

I agree with the others that you shouldn't pursue someone that's not showing an interest in you, but....

Playing Post Office (as I like to call pursuing romance by mail/email/phone) is not a high percentage game.  I've done it, but I wouldn't do it again.  

If you want to develop some relationship(s) before you travel my advice is to start writing when you already have reservations to travel next month.  Then they will see this as a more serious of investment of their energy.

Until then they've got a lot of other more real options to invest their time in.

It is usually best to reciprocate the attention that is paid to you.  If she is not showing a great deal of interest, neither should you.  

That said, just be sure that what you are perceiving as a lack of interest is in fact a lack of interest.  There are many reasons beyond her control as to why she is not writing or you are not receiving her letters and emails.  Letters get lost in the mail.  Computers and servers crash.  Phone service gets interrupted.  Relatives get sick.  In third world countries many of these problems don't get fixed as quickly as they do in first world countries.  

Don't bark up empty trees, but still keep an open mind.

Last thing I want is to chase a girl who is not interested in me. I give 2 chances for her to show interest and then move on. I have had a few girls who express their interest in me constantly. It is amoung those I chose the one.
