NotMyselfNEmore Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Awwww Mark!! I'm sorry to hear that. I've been following your thread (even if I didn't say anything) and I was excited to find out everything about your dates... I could say all kinds of cliches.... I won't cuz those are boring and half the time people don't mean them......... You'll know what to do.
JHS Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 This is the strangest post - started out that way anyway. I have not read past the first page but a guy gets matched up with someone on eHarmony and before he talks to her asks US (as in complete strangers on the internet) what to ask? Sir - get rid of your computer for a week and be a human being. Talk to HER.
JHS Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Okay, I just read the 'denoument.' Tough cookies dude, but maybe you are thinking WAY TO MUCH about things. Just go with it. I have to say, that is one gripe about eHarmony: They make you go through so much 'pre-game' before you meet the person. I think it's kind of silly so if it is any consolation to you, don't take it personally. Not all dates work out and what you went through could have been a lot simpler.
Art_Critic Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Well... I got the "your a nice guy, but" phone call today ... I thought things went well on the two dates we had but I guess this one wasn't meant to be... Back to sifting thru eHarmony profiles ... --MJ Dating is a numbers game.. Keep it up and one that works will stick... Don't let this get you down.. Next.......
Author MarkWA65 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Posted January 19, 2008 Thatx Art_Critic... I have no doubt that I will eventually find the right one I'm not really feeling all that bad JHS... I am an overthinker that is certain --MJ
JHS Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Just to follow up on my eHarmony comment -- keep it and other IDating sites in perspective. EHarmony markets its 'success' heavily so you may have unrealistic expectations - especially after getting to know someone via e-mails. (WHich I find almost bizarre because when we go out, we don't sit across the table and text each other, do we?) Take internet dating with a grain of salt. My headline on Match read, "Totally Shallow Idiot" and I had a lot of other goofy things in it. It was a way to show that I have a sense of humor and don't take myself or internet dating too seriously. Good luck.
mental_traveller Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 My advice is get off the net, call her up, and arrange a date. The sooner you meet in person, the better. Until then, everything is just hot air really - you can't tell what someone is like until you meet in the flesh.
Author MarkWA65 Posted January 27, 2008 Author Posted January 27, 2008 (edited) I am meeting a few women that I met from PoF this week for lunch and a friend from work and his wife want to set me up on a blind date with a neighbor of theirs so things are looking up. --MJ Edited January 27, 2008 by MarkWA65
