Dark-N-Romantic Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 How many dating sites are you on? Like 5 to 8 max. How long have you been on it (them)? The longest one has been at least 3 years. How many hits do you usually get? None. How many times have you messaged an match/interest? I have written to at least to 30 women over my active time on dating sites. 1 I wound up scarring away (too much honesty at one time). 11 of them I had to call them on not having the decency of writing me back. The others, I just didn't bother carrying. How many people have you actually gone out with from the site(s)? Only one and we had an long-distant relationship for 2 years, but never met. DNR
V.Vixen Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 How many dating sites are you on? 3 How long have you been on it (them)? On and off for 2 years How many hits do you usually get? As in people looking? A lot How many times have you messaged an match/interest? Couldn't tell you, I have lost count at this point. I probably respond to only about half of them, the rest get a courtesy "no thanks" response. How many people have you actually gone out with from the site(s)? On dates? about 10 or so. None of them have lasted beyond 3 or 4 dates. ::::a side note::: I know that I CAN get dates without dating sites, but it isn't hurting to put myself out there. If my eligible bachelor is 30 miles away, in a town I never visit, how else would I get to meet him? My biggest thing is to not take it too seriously...have fun with it, and keep the expectations low. I have made some great guy friends through dating this way!
Author Dark-N-Romantic Posted November 2, 2008 Author Posted November 2, 2008 Well V. If that is a real picture of you... I wouldn't doubt you'd probably have serveral dozen of hits each day. And I can get the whole ignoring half of them or so. Either they all are saying the same thing or there is something wrong with their approach. As far as taking things seriously, I do and I don't. I do because I know what I want and I am not out to play love games (there are better games two people to be played when the heart is won). And I don't because only the test of time will truly tell if we are a match or not. DNR
V.Vixen Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 The reason why I say it shouldn't be taken too seriously is because compatibility and chemistry can not really be determined until you meet in person. I have had (very nice) men who I had (very long) phone conversations with and then when we met "it" just wasn't there. It is also VERY different for men than it is for women. I think the online thing is probably harder and more pressure for men. I do know that if I had gotten my hopes up too high about a lot of these seemingly wonderful men, I would have been sadly disappointed in the end. And, I thank you very much for the compliment!
