lovebitme Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 I have a question about online dating. Is it customary to take down your online profile after meeting or dating someone after a few weeks? I see that some people just let it lay idle for a long time so I assume they're not active in looking or have found someone. There was this girl I was going back and forth with for awhile, dated a couple of times (but haven't talked to her in a couple weeks). I just noticed that her profile was removed but she said she hasn't found anyone and that was as of 2-3 weeks ago. So now what? I'm interested in giving her a call. I would be delighted to find out that she's given up looking and I'd be more than willing to go out with her. I guess there is no way of really knowing. But anyone here think they have a read on this?
alexlakeman Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 On Match if it says "not acitve in three weeks" it could be 3 years lol. That's my pet peeve with match; no matter if it's been 3 wks and a day or a months or years your profile will read with that stupid THREE weeks, so that girl might not have been on there for a while. I hide my profile when in a "relationship", but do not delete it.
Author lovebitme Posted November 21, 2010 Author Posted November 21, 2010 Yeah I know the feeling. I think people just give up sometimes too. I've tried online dating a couple of times over the years. I would play around with it for a few weeks and then get bored or discouraged. It did end up with a few nice dates but nothing that I was looking for. I guess I'm wondering how long of a round do most people do with online dating before letting it sit for awhile. For myself it's about a month.
tykira Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 Online dating never worked for me. Besides it's nothing but another cash cow out there taking advantage of us singles. I just dropped mine a while ago and decided not to worry about dating for now.

I just dropped mine a while ago and decided not to worry about dating for now. I agree. I'm sure it's worked for some people but I think there are better ways to go out and find people. I've found that it brings out the flakiness in people too. A girl told me once that she gets 100's of guys a month wanting to talk to her. Even if you get a nice date with her, in her mind there are many more around the corner. It causes her to be less committed to a new relationship. It also causes me to be suspicious that either she can find a new fling tomorrow or is dating other guys on the side. It's all bad. It's just not for me.
