This is an interesting analogy to me. I've never sought investment, but I always really disliked it when companies broke communication off after an interview or application without a firm rejection. On the otherhand, I think I prefer diminishing communication when it comes to dating. I don't treat dating like an application process. Most of the time when I talk to a woman, I'm not trying to ascertain her suitability as a mate, rather, I'm just trying to make my day/evening a little more enjoyable by having a conversation. Sometimes those conversations turn into something else, sometimes they don't. If I text someone after getting there number, I think I'd much rather prefer no response (I get what that means) to some sort of direct rejection.
