Maxman Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 The last time I had a first date we ended up dating for 6 years and then getting married. That was 1987, so we would write letters back and forth. Basically that is how us cavemen dated before technology. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The process sucks but what are the alternatives. I added this post as support for our friend @joewilly12 I dated for 2-3 years until I found what I have. Is it perfect? No. But it’s really good and I am happy. Stick with it. Met my girl on Match as well. Was divorced for 5 years and met some nice but weird people but when I met her I knew she was the one. That was 18 years ago. Still going strong and now I've got her driving her own show car to cruises and shows we do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once had a “woman” (probably a dude) string me along in conversation for like a week before asking me to pay “her” grandma’s medical bills. When I said “no thanks, this is clearly a scam”, he/she said “Well then I guess you’re not the man I thought you were!” It was probably kelly / @jtomm. Same dating site I met my smoking hot wife. Just kept wading thru em, which is what you need to do. It’s a numbers game. Or just continue to complain and not listen to us, whatevs. This is your show my man.

Well Woody Allen once said something about being bisexual doubles ones chances of finding a date, but then again he's a bit neurotic and very creepy in a chomo way so there's that.

You don't get game without practice and he clearly needs lots of practice. Once he develops a little game he might well meet someone when he's not looking. In the meantime he needs lots of practice. Dating sites is the equivelant of working on your jump shot if you're a basketball player or going to the batting cage if you're a baseball player. Guy needs a lot of work before he's going to stumble on the right words in a chance encounter. Right now he has zero game. Baby steps.

He was looking for a reason to quit and then b*tch about it, just like he's done with every bit of good options/good advice he's attempted. Good on him for attempting several things, yes, but he quits each of them too easily. He needs therapy. All of the ideas people are giving him don't address the core issue here: He needs to work on himself. Even if he's been wronged 100x over, there are aspects of himself he needs to fix first. Bottom line: He needs to become the kind of person that the right woman would want to be with. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s don’t go out with a mission to meet someone — or at least don’t show that and sure as hell don’t tell women that when you first meet them. Go out with your friends, be social, talk to women as equals not like you want (or worse need) something from them and good things happen. Worked for me foreign country and having zero network and first time single in 10+ years. Of course I have a legendary personality as is obvious from my posts here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of this is nice and probably works for many. But for Americans it just isn't really how things work anymore, lol. Had a few GFs over the years that I met traditionally but didn't work out. So I then had to cast a wide net on eHarmony. Out of hundreds, I found a few willing to talk to me that resulted in only like a few dates until I met my wife. She was living in Raleigh at the time because there weren't too many on there in my immediate area. Got her to move to Wilmington for a few years before I moved to Raleigh. It took a lot of effort but was worth it. I admire the folks who can just go out and meet a lady who ends up a life partner. In Europe I imagine that's much easier than over here! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give you big props for filling out and sending in the e-harmony questioner. I was terrified I would be matched with someone I was compatible with and decided not to submit it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
