I really believe I have met someone very special, he is everything I want, I can't wait to talk to him on here or the phone and in person, he feels my every need and I think I feel his too, I pray that it just keeps getting better, and RAY i do you you, your wildangel

I hope everyone has the same luck in life because life is nothing if not shared

I guess you have to take a chance and actually talk or correspond with someone to find if anything is there and so far, no, no luck and am frustrated by what seems to be a big game!

i'm with ya, pianoman. i know that dating sites are a crapshoot, but i'm getting pretty frustrated.
i've started a few nice conversations. they say they are interested, we swap one or two emails; then they disappear. i expected my unique situation would limit responses, but once we start chatting; where do they go? the longest conversation so far has been with a woman that didn't even READ my profile until after we'd sent several emails back and forth.
i guess i just expected more.

None here. Most of the men won't answer your e-mail. And if they do they just blow you off later. Or maybe it's just my profile. who knows.

I agree with destiny. Most men don't answer your emails or just blow you off later. Perhaps its lack of interest, but what can one write to get their attention?

So I mean really does anyone ever get a date on here?? And if not. Why is everyone on here? Why don't people answer their email? even if it is to say sorry not interested.

There are some on here that do in fact respond to their e-mails as well as some that do actually meet in person and "date." The key is to ask, you just may receive. It does work.

I haven't posted a pic, but I do very well on here. I chat with a guy exchange a few emails and maybe a few phone call. After I tell them I'm not into sex right away, they just disappear.

Frankly, that makes me very happy. I won't have to waste any more time on them. I will only sleep with someone I love and most guys won't wait that long.

It's been a bumpy road on here and I am beginning to think the majority of these guys just want sex. I mean, come on, really! Lol!

Perhaps it's what we are putting in our emails? I know I won't respond to a one liner...."nice pic". It's a copy and paste job and prolly a mass email to all women. Sometimes I read a profile and don't think I'm their type or vice versa.....should we still give these people a shot? There's been others I have tried to converse with and it always seems like we have different schedules or they don't understand I can't go out without advance notice for a sitter. Sometimes the conversations just don't flow between me and someone so I tend to think I don't interest them or we don't have anything in common.......is there a way to overcome this? Then there's the ones that say they know what they want, but in the end they don't after a few conversations with them.

I have written to some people on here, others I didn't think I was what they were looking for. For that reason, I don't hide the fact that I view profiles, I allow the system to show someone that I've viewed. This allows them to take a look at my profile and see if maybe they'd like to drop me a line and at least see if they've found a new friend.

The biggest thing I've seen here seems to be "most" people looking for that one special person, rather than starting new friendships. It's been my experience that when you're expressly out looking for that special person, you'll never find them. Kick back, relax and make some new friends, maybe go out for a drink somewhere, watch a game at a sports bar and just have a little fun. In the end, you may find the person you were looking for just happens to be that person who's profile you passed over time and again because he/she was only 5'5" rather than your preferred 5'10".

By the way, the mails I send are NOT one liners. I typically send a paragraph or two and attach my photo. (The photo is a couple years old and isn't great, but it's all I have at the moment. I'm working on that however, so maybe in a few days.)

Anyway, to the point:
Don't give up, just stop trying to find "THE ONE" all the time and look more for new friends. You'll probably find that you have a little more fun and get to meet some really nice people, along with some reall A$$es.

Take care all, best of luck with friends and more.
