I changed my profile from what I orginally had, and that seemed to help. Now I'm not getting any responses. When I email someone, I'll introduce myself, ask how they're doing, comment about something in their profile to show that I actually took the time out to read it, tell them I hope to hear back and say that I hope that they have a good week, weekend, holiday or whatever. I know I could stand a few more pics, but I still thought I'd get a couple replies. I tried being as honest as I could in my profile so whats the issue?

The First Date section needs a little more. You said what you won't do, but nothing to hint at what you will do. You mention there and in your "About Me" that you can do better than a dinner and a movie, but you give no hint as to what you think would be better than a dinner or a movie. If you're going to make that claim, try to back it up with something that you WOULD do, or it just sounds like an empty boast.

You come right out of the box with talk about exclusive relationships and being your girlfriend, which is going to make a lot of women start back-pedaling immediately. I would get rid of that part.

The other stuff was good.

Hi! I like your profile for the most part. I'm a little uncomfortable however with how you started it. When you say you're accepting applications, it feels like you're going to be sorting through several candidates. Like, "yeah you're cool, but hang on while I interview 3 more people. I'll get back to you in a week."

Otherwise I think you have a lot great points in there. Good luck!

The thing with a first date though is that it would depend on the girl and her interests. Some like more culture so going to a museam and a bite to eat at a nice restraunt would be good for them. Others may like sometime different. One date I took a girl on previously was to get some really good seats at a sporting event (PBR). She had talked about it before, but said because of living in the city she didn't get to do/see that type of thing very much. It was a pleasent surprize for her, especially once she saw where we were sitting. Point being, its going to vary to much to really post any specifics. As far as it being an exclusive relationship, thats what I'm looking for. I don't expect that from the get go, but want to be clear that I don't want to be one of many guys that someone is dating



The excepting applications part was just a humorous way to get people attention. I've had a couple comments about it when I first put it up and they were all good.

So post what you just wrote about the museum and the sporting event, just as a sample of something that you might do. Obviously every girl is different with different interests, I say much the same thing in mine. Presumably your interests will come into play too though. And just leaving it like that without a single example seems like a cop out, which is boring.

It's not a contract, it's just to get an idea of your thinking process.
