This is a " dating" site right
Posted : 28 Jan, 2010 10:45 PM

Hi. I'm not sure if women on here are really serious about having a meaningful relationship as some say in their profile. I feel like sending messages are a waste of time. Maybe its me so can someone check out my profile and be as critical as you can, I can take criticism

lol. i've wondered that SO many times! glad I'm not the only one. honestly i'm thinking of giving it up. It's just not fun. Then again it is free, and the forums are kinda amusing, plus it's kinda like a mind puzzle to see if you can figure out how to get a response and keep a convo going... so that's where i stand. I guess that's my way of saying don't put too much stock in any of this.

Dating site? Not really, but better than nothing. Plus it's a chance to build character! :D yay!

Hey...gotta say it does work though. Took about three months to find "a certain someone", but there's hope. I had the same problem when I first got on here...only advice I have is stick it out on the forums, and view a lot of profiles. If you send messages just try and keep it simple, friendly, and slow...girls have to be careful on here. Guys have to watch out for spammers....girls have to watch out for their lives..so don't propose in the first email:laugh:....you probably won't get a reply.



:peace::peace:

Well I am not one of those girls...any messages that I have gotten so far have been from guys that are from India or something of the sort and I am not interested in that Long of a distance relationship. Have hope, if one of the girls you message is supose to be that one special girl God will see it through.



Also not wanting to pry but the messages you send...what do you put in them? Sometimes I think some guys come off to strong in one message. I think it's better sometimes to just say "Hi i'm so and so, I came across your profile and you seem pretty cool. Hit me back if you wanna talk"



I think some guys post more of what they are looking for and all that in one message which makes it really strong and saying i want this this and this right away. A lot of girls want to build a friendship and talk with a person before they jump into the idea of having a relationship...or atleast thats how I feel.



Anyone can read your profile and know what you are looking for and such. So keep your messages short and quick like your are sending and IM. Just say hi, say something nice, and say that you would like to get to know her more as a friend.



I hope this helps. Keep the faith. Trust in God that he will lead you to the right one. :)



Peace :peace: ,

Love :hearts: ,

And Applesauce :goofball:

I agree with Jenny and Remp. Most of the messages I get are from far far away. Or they will say Hi, I will say Hi, and then it just fades away. It seems the guys I've encountered can't keep a conversation going unless they allude to sexual things, and I'm not interested in all that. I don't understand it. So, I pop in and read in the forums. That way, people get to "know" you better.



Just my two cents,



T

Haha, I'm not a girl either, but I just wanted to say, don't give up. I've sent quite a few messages out on here, but trust me, there are people on here interested in a relationship, it just takes time. Some are much more cautious than others, so be patient!

Gotta agree with Jenni and Mark. Take it slow...avoid negative things like complaining and "lists"...if you compliment, be appropriate and focus on her profile instead of her pics! Don't get all bent out of shape and send her a second e-mail if she doesn't get back to your first one right away...ladies get 10 times more mail than men.



Many ladies are on a site like this for the first time, and they are REALLY nervous. Even though the wackos are few and far between, just like a plane crash they get a LOT of press...that's just the way it is. Your job is to avoid ANYTHING that even remotely smells like a wacko, and convince her slowly that not only are you NOT a wacko, but you're a pretty great guy. ANY kind of pressure spells w-a-c-k-o. You gotta talk a lot about yourself via e-mail so that she gets convinced that first of all you are SAFE and second, what a great guy you are, and you gotta ask her stuff too so it doesn't seem all about you. Balance is key cuz every woman wants a balanced guy. Be patient and use e-mail...after three or four exchanges, most ladies are ready to progress to texting or talking on the phone. Then be patient with phone or text and don't press hard for the meeting until she's comfortable. Even then, it most likely won't be a date the first time...maybe the second time.



I can't overemphasize...be patient! Pressure of any kind is a huge turn off! Ladies? Back me up here. :)
