GivenUp0083 Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 Well I decided to jump back on the dating wagon after about 6 months of recovery from my last relationship and gave eharmony a try. Pretty effortless to use but my assumption of more 'quality' women was incorrect. I had talked to a couple women on the phone but I wasn't feeling it with them as they couldn't hold a conversation well. I did meet one girl and we went out 4 times over the span of two months. She was always busy. She never once answers the phone when I called, she would just wait at least 24 hours to return my call. We had fun on the dates, good amount of flirting, we had a lot in common and had good conversations. She was big into politics and so am I but I usually don't discuss issues early in the dating process. She mentioned to me on the 3rd date that she liked me but she was concerned about what her parents would think about me being a libertarian (she and her family were hardcore liberals). I had asked her at the time if it was a deal breaker and she said it wasn't. Date 4 was good until the end. We went out for lunch, did some window shopping, and then she invited me up to her condo. I took this as a sign of interest. We hung out a couple hours, I helped her tune her guitar, etc...then when it was time for me to go I made a mistake: I went in for the kiss and she wasn't ready for it and it ended up being quick and awkward. It probably wasn't the right time and I should've held back but I typically like to make the first kiss on date 1 or 2 so I know early where I stand and don't waste my time. So I was eager to do that and I probably forced it. We spoke a week later (i tested her to see if she would contact me....she didn't). We talked on the phone about an hour and she complained most of the time about and ex bf that didn't invite her to a party and he invited all her friends. She took offense to it. Then the red flag appeared: she said she wasn't interested in him or anything and she was long over him as she had 6 boyfriends since they broke up 5 years ago. Then I called her a few days later and left a voicemail. My birthday was the next day and whe never called back. Not even a happy birthday text, and yes she knew it was my birthday. Rude. Anyway that's my story. I think I'm done with the online dating, I need to ask women out more in person after getting to know them a little bit, the online women are clearly below my standard.
Laveli Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 I agree, tried the whole online thing, but it felt the woman on there were fakes or flakes.
