Oh, that's common with online dating. I would ask a woman if she's ever actually met someone through this site, even though she's been on it for a year.

 

She'd say, "No, no one ever really caught my interest enough in order for me to want to meet up with them."

 

They just become couch potatoes of online dating. :laugh:

 

They also become permanent fixtures of the the sites...see them from year to year. It's never ending with their unrealistic expectations.

No, I always intended to meet people. Although admittedly after a couple months of going on dates that went nowhere (usually my decision rather than theirs, although there were some exceptions) I got a bit sick of dating and wanted a break from meeting people. In that time however I deleted my profiles.

 

Are you mad because you are talking to somebody who refuses to meet you? Because it may just be that he doesn't want to meet you specifically, not that he has no intention of meeting anyone.

 

Some people just use it to kill time as a chat site. Not my cup of tea, I'd rather online date to meet prospective partners and spend the rest of my time chatting to my existing friends.

Not mad but confused. This has happened to me twice. Yeah it could've just meant me specifically :o

I created a couple in the final spurts of my last relationship to remind my ex how desirable I am. I would show her the stuff coming in, the numbers I could get.. And it kinda worked briefly. =/

 

I still have them up but I don't really send messages or reply to anyone anymore. I just log in to see who's been looking at me and to browse once in a while. I guess it's both for the ego boost and to test to see if I'm motivated enough to pursue anything yet.

I actually know some women who have done it for the ego boost.

It happens.

I actually created a fake one once, just to see my then new BF's profile. It had a dumb screen name like NotInterested. It had no photo. I think I listed snooping as an interest. Basically I input the barest minimums in the most negative way just so the system would allow me to move forward. I looked at his profile, was very pleased to realize that the only new thing I learned from it was the name of his favorite author & logged out. A few weeks later he & I had the exclusive discussion. I asked about his profile because although we'd met in person he had told me he was on that particular site. He said he took it down. I logged in with my fake account & sure enough his profile was gone so I deleted my fake one too. We've been happily married for 6 years.

Nope...it's too much effort to respond, send e-mails etc...not to actually try to meet someone. My goal is simple - to be able to delete my profile because I met someone...For this to happen, I'm going to have to actually meet people.

 

 

The main reason I would think is ego boost. I couldn't imagine going through all the effort with having no intention of meeting someone in real life.

I have here... Because I found a thread that related to my relationship and felt like sharing. Somehow I caught the bug to give a different side of understanding troubles and relationships. As there are many one sided thoughts that may not have all the info to be clear.

 

I found my SM through creating a profile that was nondescript, and hers was posing to be a diff girl all together. We only found interests in who we are and shared them as online friends for a year. We did not even think about love or wanting to see each other in person. Then something clicked that we both never expected. Since we were both shy, moving from being friends to being in love, to becoming deeply in love soul mates, was a multi year process. The physical attraction had never been important, until we finally seen each other via pictures and video chats.

Well according to my husband (now STBXH :laugh:) he took time to put profiles on a number of dating sites but apparently never did anything :rolleyes:

 

I wouldn't go near OLD knowing how many married men there are on there...
