I'm just curious, seems i have this problem on here. I know a lot of people simply use the forums, as they have made a lot of friends on here. In any case, back to the subject of this post. I browse profiles, and the forums, many times a day, if i see one i think is interesting, i will send them a flower, and if it really piques my interest, i'll send them an e-mail to go with it. After being here 2 months, one person has responded, that's it. Kinda disheartening, makes me wonder why a lot of people really are here. Granted, i can't be a match with everyone, but i know i can use friends, and would think at least some of these people could as well, and maybe a simple hello would be all it takes to start a friendship, or more. Sorry for the longwindedness, just getting a little frustrated, and wondering if anyone else has these same problems.

You aren't alone. There are other posters posting on this same thing as well.........

Personally speaking, I'd rather get to know others through the forums vs. those who just sift through profiles and then contact you. The forums is where the rubber meets the road, so to speak. You get insight to others personalities. When you read posts long enough, true colors come out eventually. So maybe you should consider being more active in the forums and see if that will help you. Good luck.

I agree. I mainly post during down time at work, so I don't have a lot of time to reply to flowers & messages I get. But if someone seems VERY interesting, I will reply. Lately, there's only been one.

I just joined about a week ago and what I have been doing is refining my Profile and my photos. My photo was rated at a 7.4 by 23 people, I thought I was at least an 8-8.5. Beauty is truly in the eyes of the beholder.

I interpret that to mean that at least 23 people took the time to look at me. That's a positive.

Try changing photos from time to time, and refine your profile with anything fun that has occurred in your life. I have replied to a few posts in the forums, but you could try starting an interesting topic that would stir things up in a positive way.

Last but not least, Be Patient. I know what it feels like to get impatient with little or no results having tried online dating 2 years ago at another site. But here I am again with the new attitude to make friends instead, and let the rest take care of itself in its own time.

Remember there are people joining everyday and you never know when your profile will connect with that special person.

Comments anyone?
Anyone want a Caribbean friend?

It is dishartening to not get a response even if it is just a thank you or have a nice day. I respond to all emails and floweres. I sent a man an email resently regarding his profile. He checked out my profile but didn't open the mail and I think he blocked me.

His loss. Too bad we all have to develope such thick skins to navigate the waters of the internet dating ocean.

Funny thing.....

was here for a few months earlier this year....and got fed up so I removed my profile......

a few weeks back came back on to check things out.....and all of a sudden I get a load of people writing.....e-mails, flowers, chats.....and nicely enough quite a lot of ladies too......

starts with the forums.......then goes beyond that.....

check you 'who's viewed me' list, those you like send a thank you flower to......

check you photo rating...those you like, send a thank you for you vote note....

most don't answer, some do..........

but definitely forums, that is where I found the most interesting of them all......

I think it is easy to see from the forums who is compatible, and who isnt, from their threads and posts. Each to their own, but for me, when I joined I looked at alot of local profiles and soon realised after seeing their comments on the forums, they were not for me.
