try internet dating

a top priority right now, especially since I’ve gone back to school. School and success is just so much more important. If I happen to meet someone on the street or in school, then sobeit. But finding someone on the internet takes an active effort, and I’m not going to use my time in that sense. But I wish everyone taking this goal on the best of luck!!!!

I tried internet dating Nov 2005-March 2006. While I didn’t form many lasting attachments to anyone I had a great time, and learnt a hell of a lot myself and other people.
However, I would strongly advise patience and a stomach for rejection – people tend to play fast and loose with one’s expectations when you’re online.
Good luck!

I only met schizos, liars and bunny boilers. If you are going to try this make sure you are more careful.

I haven’t decided if I’ll stick with eharmony or not. It’s frustrating, because I know a lot of the “matches” I’m getting are only doing the free trial and aren’t actually able to communicate. I let my subscription run out. Unfortunately, I think I typed my e-mail wrong to the one person who I’m interested in staying in touch with. And I would like to offer friendship to the guy I actually dated, because he seemed nice, and I just don’t know that many non-teachers here.

Anyway, I might just do one month of both, then see how it goes from there. (After I get paid.)

He was nice and charming. I was so nervous I was clenching my fists under the table so he wouldn’g notice how much I was shaking. He probably won’t call me back, but it was nice to have the experience.

Unless you count dwlt, which I don’t, since we weren’t exactly “looking”! Still, I think it’s a legimate option for people whose lives aren’t structured so that they frequently meet members of the opposite sex.

It is going okay. I haven’t met anyone. I am communicating with two men on a regular basis.I’m wondering if there’s an advice book out there somewhere that tells men to ask women about their day, because two men (for one of them I ended the match because of this) have consistently asked me how my day was in every message and then not answered any questions I’ve asked them about theirs. Or when I ask them what music, movies, etc. they like just parroted whatever I said back at me. Yeah, I’ve seen High Fidelity, and I don’t think the fact that we both like Coldplay is enough to base a relationship on. But it’s typical of me to want to just get to know someone on a real level without the preliminary small talk. I want a genuine conversation, not something scripted, and not someone just agreeing with everything I say without explaining their thinking. Am I asking for too much?

And have been contacting every match who contacts me or is sent my way. I have not reached open communication yet. I am trying to keep an open mind and seeing what all the possibilities are. It is exciting to see that there are so many single men out there.

Perhaps I didn’t meet the right person. It was worth it though, however, if not for anything else for broadening your horizons just a bit. There are so many people out there, and not everybody is dishonest. I may be a bit naive, but I really do think there are people like me on the internet that are truly honest and represent themselves well. I’ll rely on my skillset to weed the bad ones out.

Things going well – if anybody still reads my posts then you might have noticed a reduction in the volume recently this is because my energies have been focussed in another area of my life. Sorry.

Almost three months in and things are good – going on a mini-holiday together soon. Very exciting.

Advice to anybody is to give it a go. It is good for people.
