Bowing out after the third date

Posted by:

In many processes, there seems to be a grace period. A time to see if things are right. Sometimes in online dating, the same is true.

I found myself getting past the first date and lining up a second. I was completely comfortable on the first date. I was even comfortable on the second date. On the third date, we both felt the lack of sparks. Although we were comfortable with each other we both agreed that there were no sparks. ...

The Evolving Meaning of “Online Dating”

Posted by:

With the undeniable and now thorough integration of technology with our social lives, the term “online dating” has evolved in meaning. At the most basic understanding, online dating refers to a romantic, emotional, and/or sexual relationship established and maintained with an individual online. This is reflected in people’s lives who are apart of online communities such as WoW, Second Life, Habbo Hotel, and so forth. I remember being a tween on the impressive online community of Whyville and having “dated” ...

The Seven Things I’ve Learned with Online Dating

Posted by:

I’ve been in the online dating scene for over six months now and I have run across a lot of the same information. After my time dating (and researching really) on the internet, I have found these seven things to be the most helpful to me:

.

  1. Be yourself often means don’t embellish. No one wants to invest their time into a catfish. You might not think you’re a catfish, but even misleading people in “unimportant” ways can mean that you are ...

What’s better a paid or unpaid dating site?

Posted by:

I’ve recently moved from unpaid to a pay dating site. I can’t sit here and tell you that there are massive differences in how the services work. What I can say is that the people on the paid sites seem to be more invested. That’s not to say everyone that I encountered on an unpaid dating site was not invested but it felt harder.
Things are similar as far as setting up your profile but to me, a paid site is ...

Difficulties with online dating

Posted by:

There are many difficulties in online dating and finding that special someone can be hard.

I recently met a woman online. She approached me, and I thought, wow this could be good. We were only talking for a day when she gave me her number. I thought ok this is easier than going back and forth on the dating site. Honestly, she moved quicker than I’m accustomed to and, for me, that can be a red flag. However, I decided to ...

Trouble deleting your online dating Profile

Posted by:

As of late, I’ve decided to move from a non-paying site to a paid site. Needless to say, I wanted to delete my old accounts from free online dating sites. I’d rather focus on a new approach with a paid site, although that doesn’t mean I think free sites are “bad”. However, I’ve read the horror stories about getting incorrect charges or autorenewals when using a paid dating service. That is, people complain that the dating sites are still charging ...

5 things I’ve learned from online dating

Posted by:

Things have begun to become a little stale. That’s not to say that I’m not willing to put in the work to find the one. I’ve noticed some things that I would like to share with you.

 

  1. Women contact men very rarely, but if they do and the man follows through, he pretty much has a date.
  2. If a woman contacts you. She will not like indecisiveness or slow movement. If you move slowly you will lose your chance.
  3. Women receive at least ...

My First date success or failure?

Posted by:

Hello everyone – I am happy to announce that I had my first date. We met at a funky little coffee shop, not the average Starbucks.

I normally don’t like when people only post one profile picture, but I could tell through our communication that she was different and defiantly real. I was happy to meet her for a coffee. We seemed to hit things off well. She had her back up text come in but still stayed so I was ...

Dealing with harassment while online dating

Posted by:

When I first read a profile that asked the guys to please talk to as if they were speaking with their Mom or sister, I thought it can’t be that bad. But then I kept coming across more and more profiles with the same statement along with statements like:

  • Please do not send me any inappropriate pics.
  • I’m not here for a one night stand
  • Please don’t ask me for sex.

At first, I thought this was just a few jaded women, but I ...

Running into someone you know on a dating site

Posted by:

Running into someone you know online dating can either be a good thing or a bad thing. For me, it happened to be a good thing. It’s funny seeing people you know online, and thinking why are they single? Other times you might be saying to yourself “I know why you’re single.”

While browsing through the photos online I have come across three people that I know. The one I dated for a short period of time and never want to ...

Four weeks into online dating

Posted by:

I’ve tried Brad’s method of contacting as many people as possible to improve my odds of getting a date. In my opinion, it’s not the best approach for me. I have a hard time going out with someone just to have a date. Having quality over quantity seems a better road to go down. Over the last two weeks, I have in a sense increased my odds by joining another free dating site called Plenty of Fish.

Although I have written ...

The Reality of Online Dating

Posted by:

Hi, everyone.

So… I’ve begun my search for my perfect match.

Although there are lots of women to try and engage with I find it difficult to find the type of woman I’m looking for. Now, this may be to the fact that I’m just not absolutely clear on want I’m looking for. To tell you the truth I’m intimidated by most of the women. I like strong intelligent women, but I find myself feeling as if I’m not good enough for ...
