End of my online love life faith: So, after 4 mos I cancelled my online subscription to a dating site. I made my profile "unsearchable", so guys never came to me, I had to find them. And it made it hard to start communicating w/ guys. (It was how I was comfortable, safe, etc). So I communicated with only about 4 guys, and one I actually dated regularly for 2 mos.
Even though it wasn't yielding anything, I'm still bummed. It gave me hope, and now I'm just thrown back into the real world of trying to hit on random men at the post office and grocery store! Ughh. I don't mingle with a lot of singles (yes, that was a rhyme!) and it makes it hard to meet people.
This isn't so much of a post, as just a written whine. :-\
Re: End of my online love life AmyMarie1972: Hi Faith,
It is possible to still talk to people online without being a member of a dating agency. I have met loads of people online through the different web sites that I go to, as well as I have my own website.
You could also try going out to a few bars and clubs with friends, there are always single guys in there.
Don't give up hope.
Take care
Amy
Re: End of my online love life dsuser: Tell me about it, I have found that it is definitely a source of 'hope'... but I wonder how tangible the hope really is (e.g., how often does it materialize into something worthwhile). I am considering jumping ship on the whole idea as well. But then again, if we don't have hope...
Re: End of my online love life jimloveless: i chatted with a girl last night from a dating site. i had actually cancelled my account 3 days after i opened it up, but she was the reason i started it. it took her about 3 weeks to get back to me.
after the conversation with her, I'm a little skeptical of the online thing, too. here's a sample of our conversation:
me- hey, N. how's it going
her- (long pause) how are you
me- you have time to chat?
her- ye
me- so, what do you do for a living?
her- accountant.
me- ...do you like that?
her- (long pause) ye
me- where did you go to school?
her- lousiana
me- really? which school?
her- xavier
nothing like single word responses to really move the conversation along. i finally said something to the affect of... 'well, i've done my best to make conversation happen, and i just don't know where this is going, so i'm going to call it a night. IM me any time, N. have a good day" Her response was: :(
::)
something was tellin me this girl was too good to be true. it's funny finally relying on my heart to tell me the truth for once. i tought myself to ignore those gut feelings when i was with my wife.
Re: End of my online love life whatnext: Egad!!! I thought the walk I went on last night was ackward. Talk about having to draw out a conversation, and then to have her try to make it into you being "Sad".... wow.
