I check in when I am able. Just don't feel like I have much to add these days.

Moe- Yeah, I'm always checking out new apps (not just dating, haha!!!). I think the quick sign in thing is true, but I also think there is less of a profile to write or create, which is a plus to many.
-
With the constant evolution of social media, I think the online dating world is now switching over mainly to apps. Love it or hate it, it might be time for everyone who wants to be dating to get on Tinder, Clover, Scout, The Grade or others. Personally, I find more people actually 'talk' on them than online too.

I don't think you should be embarrassed at all! Maybe an odd tip, but I started running on the paved paths in a cemetery that was on my street. Definitely a quiet spot to start without anyone paying attention to you...
-
Cautiously optimistic sounds like the way to go, good luck! :)
-
guilty :\

Cesar - It's not all women, I'm a fan of well groomed beards and gotta say, yours looks good! ;) I also like your new pic, very handsome. :D
-
Yes, try the viking pic! You can see your face and it shows you have a sense of humor!
-
Enjoy the confidence and memories it gave you. Hopefully that will help you move on and find what you are really looking for!
-
Wow, that's quite a story for one week, glad you enjoyed every moment of it! Still, good to keep both your feet on the ground at this point.
-
I think you should have started this story with "he wore sweatpants to a lunch date" and that would have been enough for me to know he was a dud. :p

Interesting article about this topic. http://www.yourtango.com/experts/coach-ronnie-ann-ryan/why-would-i-want-date-more-one-man-time#.VFqPqxawWSp

I agree with Moe, they are at least worth checking out for a short time. There's a meat market vibe on all of the sites to a degree, so what's the difference really?
-
I've done the multi-talking thing quite a bit. But when it comes to meeting, one at a time is a better pace for me. Also, congrats it worked out Moe! Are you going to tell us more about him!?
-
Ugh, I can totally relate. I think you should try the free sites (PoF, OkC) or apps (Tinder, Skout, Meetme, etc.) though. There are creeps there too, but more people tend to talk on free sites, so don't give up yet!
-
Sorry, we've all been there though...
-
I always find that guys talk more on the free sites anyway. Is that because people who pay don't think they should have to do any of the work? Or is there really no one legit? Could be both I guess!
-
welcome!

I thought I was the only one! Have a family wedding coming up soon and I am already sooooo over it.
-
100% single
-
Same here! Maybe it's just me, because I know I'm getting burned out of the dating scene, but does it seem like no one wants anything serious anymore? It's all just hook up culture. :(
-
First, great job & keep it up! :flowerforyou: I often run or walk the paved paths in a nearby cemetery because I enjoy how peaceful it is and it's close to my house. As a bonus, there are very few (living) people in there to judge me. :laugh: Just a tip if you need a new location. Otherwise, get your run on and don't worry…
-
Congrats, I'm close behind at 997! :drinker:
-
I'm sorry about your young friend passing. :flowerforyou: I'm not really sure how about everything else. Of course there are people that choose not to look or those that are half-hearted about it. There are also people who become negative and give up too soon. Then again, since your description was about knowing several…
-
^^ definitely this!
-
Wow, yes negative - and kinda sad :cry: - just my opinion. I'm starting to think there are a lot of somebodies out there who we could each be compatible with if we weren't such a disposable society. It's just a matter of finding them and letting things play out naturally... Anna, You crack me up! :laugh: But yeah, I one to…

I happened upon this "Dear Abby" type letter online today and couldn't help but think back to this comment. http://www.boston.com/lifestyle/relationships/blog/2014/08/love_letters_hes_hot_im_not.html#comments
-
^^This. Or to find one here :wink:
-
Yeah, this happens to me on online dating sites quite a bit too. I either don't respond or I stop once I know their deal. It's also caused me to start asking Every.Guy.I.Talk.To. if they are 100% single. I've found asking that to be really helpful to weed out the separated and otherwise attached guys too! The thing to…

Janie - Engaged? Congrats! :flowerforyou: Otherwise, I tend to agree with Anna.
