preraph Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 You need to expose yourself to as many social groups or outings as possible to get over your fear of it or it will indeed be hard to ever meet anyone who would be content to just be alone with you all the time and not be part of a bigger social group.
JPM_26 Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 OP, if that's how most of your messages are, no wonder you're not getting any responses. It sounds really corny. And if you got banned from a dating site, you must have been coming off as super creepy. Remember this is online dating, dude. It's a major numbers game. There's zero need to put so much effort and emphasis on it. Do not over think it. I have a pretty good response rate and 9 times out of 10, my opening line is simply ''Hey how are you?''. And my profile isn't anything special, mostly just a brief, passive description of myself. I do have a handful of good pictures on my profile which is basically the biggest key to getting a response back.
AMJ Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 I disagree with this advice. I get these messages all the time and they appear to be copy and pasted to 100 women. I want a guy who actually took the time to read my profile and find things he liked about ME. And things like "How was your weekend" are like the kiss of death. They just lead to surface level, half a$$ed, lazy conversations. It's not a good way to court a woman and get her interested in you over the other guys messaging her IMO. Just for the sake of conversation- what do you write in your profile? As in, what information is there for men to talk to you about? IMO all of our profiles are pretty generic, and if your profile is unique- as in, you have some rare hobby like bug collecting- what are the odds that your next boyfriend will share this rare hobby with you? My overall point is, all of our profiles are basically the same. With slight inconsequential differences.
