I find online dating is a good way to meet people. However, after going on multiple dates with four guys this year, I'm unsure about how to move on from the site once you really click. Of course we meet in "real life" and go on dates but how do you get to a point where both parties stop looking for others on the site? I mean, the nature of online dating is that it's about seeing who is out there, but when does that end?

 

Have I just not clicked with anyone enough yet or is there something I should be saying or doing in order to get the guys I date to stop looking for other options ...

You simply haven't found someone who wants to commit to YOU. Since dating again, over 2-yrs ago, I have only OLD. I have had a number of great dates and some short relationships. As a guy wanting LTR, I find that most of the women I've met (all as far as I know) are also looking for a LTR. I am convinced that women are more likely interested in a LTR than men. I am also convinced that this and other reasons make it especially difficult for serious women to find a guy. The age group also makes a difference.

 

There's really nothing you can do. OLD makes it so easy to "shop" around and communicate with other potential partners that keeping one interested is very difficult.

That will only happen after you win them over. Once they see you not as an online date, but as their girlfriend.

 

Would be the same process meeting someone at a bar. They will keep going out until you cluck as a girlfriend.

After a few dates you ask if the other person is still active on the dating site. You have a conversation about taking the profiles down & being exclusive.

That's what you have to do, its universal for stop looking on line and lets be a couple already! Cluck...you have to cluck.
