Posted: 12/18/2008 11:33:15 PM | | I have been on this site for a couple of months. I think I have been on about 8 dates so far. I am having a blast. I have not dated in a while, so that is probably the reason why my numbers are high. I will not stop till I find the right man. | |

How can a person date so much and yet not feel chemistry with ANY of the men you meet?
You playing with guys heads? Bored? or REALLY hated all the guys you dated? It puzzles me, is it that hard to find a match?

Posted: 12/19/2008 6:27:44 AM | | Four, but none from POF. One turned into a year-long relationship. Two were one-date-nothing-in-commons. One was a nightmare who took her kids along (no, I had no idea ahead of time). I come on here for yucks, and the forums, and that's pretty much it. I won't say internet dating doesn't work, but other resources seem to be more effective. | |

Posted: 12/19/2008 6:36:59 AM | In the last three years, over 20. I'm counting a first meeting as a "date." Really, I can't remember all of them. Once I met three different new guys in one day. That was too much! I've met two in the same evening and, coincidentally, they both wanted to meet within half a block from each other. I was nervous the first one would see me with the second one & told him I was meeting a friend afterwards.
The guys I'm meeting now are better than at first. I think I've gotten better at screening people & developing a sense of who would be someone I'd like to know. I've also gotten better at putting out who I am.
Ya never know. I met a young guy who lives in my neighborhood and we're not quite what each other is looking for, but we really liked each other's company and agreed we should stay in touch. We're practically neighbors and who knows, we may end up introducing each other to someone better suited.
The experiences have been all over the map, including one screwy guy who began diagramming sentences on a napkin within five minutes of our first meeting. He was a bit of a nut. Mostly, a few were boring. One sleazeball couldn't go 15 minutes without talking about drugs or sex and was obviously trying to get me to do that with him. But once I got past a certain point, they've been moderately to fairly interesting. And the last one . . . amazing but geographically challenged. | |

Holy Cow. Would you like to be my secretary??? Talk about "TIME MANAGEMENT"
In my best David Copperfield dating mode I couldn't pull that off..
Dates, or meets???
Less of the first then the later... | |

Posted: 12/19/2008 10:57:48 AM | | A couple of dozen. I dated one exclusively for a couple of months. Most of them turned into friends and a few of them were just accidents looking for a place to happen. | |

Posted: 12/19/2008 11:12:35 AM | | I've been on a little more than a handful of dates with women I met online over the last few years. I do live in a small town though and I was also out of circulation for a bit while dating someone I didn't meet online. | |

Posted: 12/19/2008 11:57:25 AM | It's because too many guys lie and misrepresent themselves.
Plus you can't order chemistry like a pizza.
I'm sure desperate people don't need to date too many people.
They just take whatever they can get and aren't picky.

Yes, it is very hard to find your match; hence, the reason why I am on a date every weekend.It is also difficult to find someone with whom you have chemistry with as well. That is why I am going to continue to keep on trying till I find the "right" one. You are never going to find someone special, if you do not go out and date. Also, I am not going to be settling for less. To jump into a relationship with someone, who there is not a strong chemistry with, that is when you are playing head games. Not only with the person who you are dating but to yourself as well. | |

Think of all the FREE MEALS you have had.
brian boloney....I mean moloney ......I know you were joking (I hope)....but meals are not always part of a first meet and/or date. And now a days, a lot of women will offer to pay their own way (which I prefer to do).
Since I first started online dating 2 1/2 yrs ago, I'm guessing I've met over 100 men (with a 1 yr relationship in there). As time goes on, I accept less first meets/first chats because I've learned to weed them out a bit better.
And yes, its rare to find chemistry where its mutual.....but when it does, its definitely worth the wait.

Posted: 12/19/2008 11:58:17 PM | Online dating is seriously screwed up. How in the world can a woman go on so many dates and yet not find a match?!!?
A) Being completely unrealistic about what they look for
B) Just WANT to be single and make people think you're looking (games)
C) Maybe the woman has a serious problem and puts up mental barriers before the date even starts, that prevent her from seeing any "chemistry" when it actually might be there if she relaxes a bit.
D) Only a very very small percentage of men understand woman.
No wonder the gay population is booming. | |

Posted: 12/20/2008 12:59:32 AM | Over the years I can't even remember the count. I have had 2 long term relationships from online dates.
From this site? I would say about a dozen or so. | |

A) Being completely unrealistic about what they look for
Unrealistic? Hardly!.....Is it unrealistic to want to have chemistry instead of having their kiss remind me of my brother? I don't think so......If that works for you-go for it.
B) Just WANT to be single and make people think you're looking (games)
This may explain some people...but I'm not into playing games. Of course, I'd want to be single than to be with a person for the wrong reasons-that would be playing games, wouldn't it?
C) Maybe the woman has a serious problem and puts up mental barriers before the date even starts, that prevent her from seeing any "chemistry" when it actually might be there if she relaxes a bit
This one could have merit but not in relation to myself. Most claim I'm an open book. There were a few times where I had a few dates with them (paying my way usually), just to be sure I wasn't being too quick about claiming no chemistry. One either feels it or they don't. For me....it doesn' t happen further down the road-I wish it did.
D) Only a very very small percentage of men understand woman
Ok...I'll agree with you here 
Why is it that some/most men assume that so long as there is compatibility, that its a match made in heaven? Doesn't one usually have lots of compatibility with their friends, yet they are 'friends' for a reason? If there isn't a spark....how can it go any further?

Posted: 12/20/2008 8:57:59 AM | Been on and off this and other sites for the last 2 years...... Zero (0) dates, response rate is almost nil.
On the other hand, IRL I usually don't have any problems dating once I can find a single woman in such a small town.... I guess because women can see the real me. It's difficult to put ones personality on paper I guess.
I would dare to ask most of the women and men here with such luck......
...... if there was no such thing as online dating, before you were here....... how many dates did or would you realistically go on before having a relationship of a few months or more?
I seriously doubt (before online dating) most of you went on 20, 30 over 100 serious first time dates before "hooking up" with someone?? Think about it???
I believe online dating has set most peoples expectations off the charts as to what they will realistically find compared to what they're looking for. | |

eyes never lie....Are you asking those of us that have had many dates whether or not our expectations are too high? Did you ever consider that those that have no luck have the high expectations....and that's why they don't have any luck?
I was never single before online dating......so I dont know how many dates I would have had the old fashioned way before having a relationship. Geeze...the last time I was single was in high school.....Do those dates count? I do know that I had met about 50 men before I met the exbf...A few I was interested in but they were not...more felt the chemistry where I did not...........For any relationship to work, there's got to be mutual desire (chemistry) and compatibility. Finding that is rare - no matter how many people one meets. That's why most believe its a numbers game. The more you meet, the better one's chances are of finding what they're looking for.
