After being pissed off about how that guy treated me the other day, I decided I'm not letting him stop me from looking for someone. I'm back on the dating site I used before, and currently have a couple guys I'm just getting started on getting to know. I'm limiting it to texting only for now. Self-preservation first. It seems the men like my photos ( Read more... )

I have been around dating web sites for about 12 years now, but haven't taken any seriously in a long time. I'm pretty jaded about it, dating, and men in general. I find it way harder to read people on there and I have little to no patience for people being idiots on those sites, and yet am afraid to jump into sharing my personal info too soon with anyone. I think it's just not for me, personally.

On the other hand, I am close to four people, each each in relationships that started on Match or eHarmony. One couple just celebrated three years together, another has two under their belt and are living together and feeling pretty content that this is it but maybe don't need to have an official wedding/marriage, a third is now engaged to be married next year (though only dating for a few months before he popped the question). So, I know of plenty of success stories and yet have failed to get over any hoops myself lol.

Oh, but my advice is to trust your gut. And I think that's good in general. If you're feeling odd about someone, then let it go ... and yet also, try contacting some people you may not ordinarily go for but seem interesting. At least give it a hello and see what happens (at which point you can end the conversation when they're totally weird anyway ;-))

I'm using the site OKCupid, and so far I like it pretty well. They don't make you pay before you can message people.

I'm being careful about not giving out much info, and even if I give out my phone number, I only accept texts for now. I'm not ready to speak to them over the phone.

I'm getting a lot of responses, but I'm weeding a lot of them out.
