I can't say it's true in my case. I haven't dated anyone from here yet because I spend most of my time in the forums, but I have dated plenty of men on other sites, so it does happen.

Boy, you must know how to pick em.
I have ALWAYS followed through when I say I will meet someone. I may only meet with them once, but if we make a "date", I show up. I have actually been the one stood up. once.

Try taking a bit more time to get to "know" the person before you decide to meet.
Chat online, talk on the phone, whatever. But don't just ask for a meeting after one or two contacts. Women are somewhat gun shy, especially with reports of women going missing after being involved with a site like this.
And try posting a pic. Women are visual creatures too. We like to see who is interested.

Hope this helps.

bluff?

In 12 months all you've been able put together for a profile is a couple of boring sentences. No wonder they have to bluff. Also, what do you do? Ask them out? Have you tried communicating with them first?

Uh, if you were to not look at the site as a "Mission" you'd probably have better results.

The forums are a great place to learn about your comrades here. It's entertainment, support, camaraderie, and, uh, entertainment.

Try it this way, pretend your profile was that of a woman...would you be messaging her asking for a date?

Truth is, women here really want to date. So if that's not happening for you, maybe the problem is you.

No, I haven't had that problem. I have met some very nice women on this site and they have never bluffed about meeting me.

Anyway, I checked out your profile. Maybe you could try putting a nice picture of yourself on there and using some punctuation. You could also try writing a little more about yourself and what you are looking for.

Best of luck and take care,

Jack

Your question isn't all that clear. Are you saying that you've met women on this site who have agreed to meet you but then don't show up, or are you saying you e-mail or IM them and ask them in that very first contact to meet you and they say "no thanks?" If I got an e-mail from you, having never spoken before on IM, and all your mail said was "from cork 45 wanna meet" I'd wonder if somebody's child was messing around with his mom's or dad's POF account, honestly. Rewrite your profile to include some actual information, and use punctuation. Post a picture or two....you address the lack of photo by saying " if your looking for a photo or say to your self no he dont have a photo why dont we get to know 1 and other first and take it from there". That practically screams "I'M A MONSTER!!! BUT I CAN MAKE YOU LOVE ME!!!" This site isn't a speed-dating site; nobody will agree to meet you simply because you're here. There's a lot of competition out there Buddy, better make yourself a real competitor if you want any success.

Good luck!

Everything happens for a reason.

These women who fail to meet you, are just opening the door for the right one to enter your life.

Their loss, not yours.

Happy fishing

I've been on this site for three weeks and have had three first meetings. I found the women to be very genuine, sincere and warm. One could even turn out to be a really good friend over time. However, I've had cold streaks for months on match and another site. It's probably just a phase.

The reason for your relative success to this point compared to Gudguycj's, Unfinished Story, is that you have a really good profile with lots of information and pictures (and punctuation) and so there's at least a starting point. I have a feeling our friend up top there is contacting women by email without any lead-up, and just saying "hey, wanna meet?" and is surprised when there's no response. It's all in the approach, and in the ADVERTISING, and that's what we're all doing with our profiles, right?

There has been alot posted already so if i repeat something, sorry. But maybe you should actually talk to the person before asking to meet them. Also, if you don't wanna put a pick up that's fine. I don't have one up either, but I do have one set to private so I can send it to someone if we start talking. Just talk to someone first and if you talk a few times have a pic available. (put it this way, if they don't know what u look like how are they gonna know who to look for if u do meet) But ya.. start off with something that can start a conversation.. Take time, read the profiles and come up with something. Don't just ask them if they want to meet.

I've met guys and had a great time with a few. I'll met a really persistant guy who makes me laugh in the e-mails. I've met really sexy guys who totally matched up to their profiles. I'll got out with someone if I have the time and I think their is chemisty. Right now I'm looking for on-line chat and forums.
