murah989 Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 I've comes to terms that I'm addicted to online dating! OKcupid and POF are probably the worst things since Myspace and Facebook! I just hate how I send out these messages and I'd say about 6/10 I get a reply; it's like my high. But when I don't get anything I start moping around the rest of the day. What gets me, is that I keep coming back for more punishment. I don't understand how I've been able to last this long with my self-esteem intact. If only there was a way to ban myself from the site, and never have to worry about this stupid stuff ever again. *Rage off* Anyone feel like this too?
USCGAviator Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Do you even go on dates or are you another ego tourist? Find someone you actually want to meet and then just stick it out and see what happens. I'm seeing a girl now for about 2 weeks and haven't been on or had a desire to check messages. Get a different hobby in the meantime. Xbox live does wonders for winter time blues lol

The 4 times I felt like it was appropriate to ask I've been ignored. What's even worse is that out of those 4, 2 of them deleted their profiles a day later..bummer XD
BobSacamento Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Absolutely! I'll spend a few days with no luck and I'll even say things like "I'm such a LOSER!!!" out loud. Kind of like primal scream therapy. And then BAM I'll actually get a message sent to me by some random woman. Or get a response from like 4 in a row and get overwhelmed. It's a roller coaster ride. Right now I'm feeling like I'm approaching the peak... You know what has helped - higher quality pics. as shallow as that sounds I just got a new phone with a higher quality camera and a new web cam and my response rate has significantly increased.
USCGAviator Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 My routine starts with a few silly harmless messages back and forth. Then we usually move to th IM status. We share fun conversation over nothing serious just finding simple common ground and lots of lol's. I let that go on till she asks to exchange numbers. I never bring that up and leave it in her court which always happens. Then we txt for a day till we finally talk on the phone. During that call we plan a simple date. Then we meet in person and It's all over for her lol. Trouble for me is finding a girl that I'm actually interested in seeing regularly. I have one I kinda like right now so I'll take it slow and see what happens
Seamless74 Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 dude if online dating is a drug then id equate it with brown acid or huffing paint thinner or whippets or something.. calling it a drug is giving it credit..
