    Okay just sent out a couple replys. One guy must be sitting there on the site or something because he responds right away. Dude is a tri-athelete.

    the last 10% are "normal"? I have tears of joy when I stumble upon one of these (I should add that I'm not even necessarily physically attracted in the woman often, so yeah, back on to the search then...).

    Oh wow, what a trigger... one guy I met from online told me that he was so psyched to discover me because I seemed normal (not psycho) but unfortunately my looks just "didn't do it for him." His loss!

    the sooner you meet, the sooner you know if there is a connection.

    I have gotten the "It's so nice to see a normal girl on here." line a lot in intial messages.

    I had match email me when someone sent me a message and I'd get the emails on my phone. . I'd respond from my phone too. So. . .quick response doesn't necessarily mean he's sitting on the site. .just fyi. .

    I don't understand why anybody would be rude. What's the point of that??
    A-hole!

    He's a dumbass but you're one hot lady. Seriously. I've seen your FB pics lol.

    I was messaging back and forth with 2 guys today. Both asked what I was up to this weekend. I replied with "Nothing planned just a laid back weekend since I have been so busy the rest of March." This to me opens them up to say "Hey why don't we meet ..." or something similar.
    Nope both of them "oh yeah nothing really planned either" WTH. :devil: :grumble:

    It could be coming off as "I just feel like relaxing this weekend, so I'm not really up for anything." Guys read a lot into your response about what you're up to. I think most of them are terrified of asking you out at the wrong time and hearing "Sorry, but I can't ...," even if there's a perfectly legitimate reason. So if it seems like there is a chance you'll say no, they often won't ask at all.

    But I agree, when you meet on a dating site, it should be pretty obvious that going on dates is your objective, not to mention the fact that you wouldn't be e-mailing them if you had no interest.

    I've never done the online dating thing, but I went on POF today just to see what kind of men in my area (I live in Austin, too) are on there, and one guy's profile pic was of him kissing a woman. Now, like I mentioned, I'm no expert on this, but I'm not sure a photo of you kissing someone is the best way to project the image of a man looking for a serious relationship.

    There's also the school of thought to never have a first date on a Friday or Saturday night. Early/late afternoon Saturday or Sunday could work for some sort of active outdoorsy type first date.

    I just saw one guy with his main picture had him in his underwear. :huh:
