I Need Help! How Do You Take That Next Step To Feel Comfortable To Seriously Date Online?

online dating review — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 19:44:55 +0000

I need help! I’m a 26 yr old guy starting to delve into online dating as another venue. Up to this point, I’ve always felt meeting online and conversing intimately online to be two dimensional for my taste and just not for me. I’ve always felt conversing and relationships in person were more genuine.
But, I’m trying to change this because I met two great girls who would like to know me and vice versa online (unfortunately it’s long distance too). This experience is completely new to me and I need basic tips on communication, feeling comfortable doing so and being able to keep things fresh and non repetitive. I think my main problem is just getting past the ‘how are you’ type letters and feel i need to up the intimacy to show interest. If I don’t I usually withdraw but how do i do it without seeming like a pervert or coming off desperate?
I know I’m asking a lot, but could you provide me with good and bad experiences, several things to avoid talking about and things to talk about?
Much Thanks!!

How Do The Folks Here @ G&ws Feel About Online Dating Sites Like Match.com And Eharmony?

I am glad to hear that you are starting to expand your horizons. In the technical age computer dating makes sense. I have often thought that it would probably be a good way to meet other people interested in dating. I can’t imagine being single. Where else would you look. Grocery stores, bars, church ? From the commercials it appears if they have a wide screening tool so you would likely meet someone who would make you very happy. Not another misled feminist….YIKES!!
I am glad for you looks like you are getting back on track.
As gnu said check out match com as harmony sounds like it is discriminatory.

Why Doesn’t It Feel Real?

online dating review — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 15:14:32 +0000

In less than 48 hours, I will be meeting my brother for the first time. He is my last missing family member.
I have spent 23 years looking for him,and dreaming about this day. I almost found him twice, but it didn’t pan out
I found out I had a brother when I was 14 and he was 9. I almost got to meet him when I was 18 and he was 13. Our grandfather took me to his house but he had moved just months earlier.
Another time I found his name on an online people search, called the number and it had been “temporarily disconnected” I called that number every day for weeks, then one day the messege was changed to “no longer in service”. I must have missed him by a few days…
I looked on myspace, google, paid Intellus, and no luck…until Dec 29, 2009. Out of boredom I searched myspace again and there he was!
We messeged back and forth and have been talking on the phone ever since. We have been planing this reunion for months. His girlfriend is as excited as he and I are..
But as I sit here, I just can’t seem to believe that it is actually going to happen. It just does not seem real.
When I reunited with my first mom, I had butterflies for days. When I met my sisters, I agonized over every second until the arrived, but I KNEW it was going to happen.
I am excited about seeing my brother, but I just can’t accept the reality of the fact that this time Friday night, he will be sitting here in my living room.
Has anyone else in reunion felt this way? As I said, with my other reunions I never had this “it isn’t real” feeling…
ETA wtf?? Y!A is weird..not sure if I wonder more how it relates to the first suggestion….or if I should be upset by the one about singles and dating ..I mean I know I live in Arkansas, but come on LMAO

I Feel Like I’m Being A Bad Friend….?

online dating review — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 03:37:58 +0000

There’s a friend of mine who’s a lesbian, but she hasn’t come out to everyone yet….just me. She’s been dating this girl online for almost a year now and it’s never really been good. She always comes to me to talk about her relationship problems since I’m the only one who knows. Well now they’re trying to decide if they’re going to break up…and I think they should because this girl just seems to playing games with my friend. My friend has texted me everyday for the past 2 weeks about this because she doesn’t know what to do….I’m getting so tired of talking about it because it’s the same thing over and over again. She just texted me about it and i pretty much told her i don’t want to talk about it anymore. Is that being mean of me???
Whenever I tried talking to her about my relationship problems, she would always say “I don’t like him, dump him”
Plus every knows she’s a lesbian, they’re just waiting for her to admit it….so really she could talk to others about this!

I Feel Like I’m Running Out Of Options?

online dating review — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 15:13:09 +0000

Ok, so my last girlfriend left me because she’s gay. She’s the only girl I have ever dated, and one of the few who lives up to my standards. I don’t drink, smoke, do drugs, or fool around, and I’m a devout Christian. From what I’m told, I am pretty good looking (“adorable! gorgeous eyes! like a Roman statue!) and I am VERY intelligent. However, most girls at my college are superficial preps who are absolutely incompatible with me. I feel like I’m running out of options for finding someone. Every day, some formerly innocent girl loses her innocence, does drugs, or drinks alcohol. My pool of potentials is slowly dwindling. I’m no good at small talk–I hate small talk, and I’m only good at discussing serious matters.
Should I consider online dating sites? I’m only 19 and a freshman in college, but I don’t think my situation will get any better. However, I feel like it would be the loserish way out, and there’s no guarantee that I’d find someone compatible with myself. What should I do?
