No luck,No love,No way (78)
Hi
Just read your post and felt I should say that no dont give up !!
There are genuine people on most sites and although difficult to meet anyone it is just as hard in real life.
I have just had a msg on another site(only use 2)that I had previously replied to but he then disappeared for a while.
Not sure if anything will come of it hey it gives one hope!
I do know what you mean though as it is easy to "browse" online and send msgs but making it materialise into a real meeting is always difficult.
Maybe an international "meetup" is required !
Feel free to email
Hey I will send you a few emoticons which although maybe childish are really cute (to cheer you up)
Have a real glass of vino or a beer !

BrokenPan: I am not sure if this is what all online dating sights are like since I am new to all of this but I have put time and effort into trying to meet someone here and the only attention that I get is from people running scams from Russia or the Middle East.I started out feeling positive about finding someone even just finding friends,but now I am starting to feel like I am better off going to the bar then doing this and I hate going to the bar.I understand that it takes time for these things to happen,but like I said my time maybe better spent in a bar then waiting for nothing to happen online.I guess what I am wondering is: Am I setting my expectations too high?Am I right for feeling like this?Is this even worth my time anymore?Does anyone else get frustrated doing this?I am just looking for some insight and opinions on this one.
But they great thing is you can do the online dating thing while you are at the bar!

Congratulations! I'm curious if you met and married the
person you met here three years ago and are "happily married"
why are you still on this dating site?
I mean if you and your husband made real friendships here
wouldn't you have exchanged phone numbers and/or emails to
keep in touch with them?
I guess I don't understand why you'd want to continue to stay
active on a dating site when you've met and married "The One"
for you...

Yes! Awesome insight, and great advise! 
Dagosto: O/P, if you are reading:
CS has many features. To meet some real people,
instead of just the endless scammers in your inbox, get involved. You can and will meet
real, eligible, attractive people.

Not at all... Are you??
I asked a sincere and valid question. I'm also sincere when I
said, "Congratulations!"
Am I not allowed to ask real, valid questions? I truly was wondering
as when I'm blessed to meet and marry "The One" God will richly bless
my life with I would not remain on a dating site.
If I had made true friendships I would first make sure my husband is okay with
us continuing the friendships and make sure we would have their phone numbers
and email addresses to do so.

i agree, close this road and u simply close doors and possibilities. life is just a ride, relax and enjoy the ride.
Thalassa: I don't know how long you've been here or how actively you're trying to meet someone, but just look at this as another avenue. It may not be the route that will lead you to your ultimate partner in life, but this is at least another option. Whether you find your special someone here or in a bar or at work or in the grocery store or wherever...this is irrelevant. You want to find someone and so you put yourself out there as an open and receptive man. This is what we do here. It works for some, doesn't work for others (I am in the latter group); but, again, it's an avenue. Close this road and you simply close doors and possibilities. Open them and.....well, who knows?

For those people who are actually looking for something "real," whether friendship or someone special to spend their time with, online dating can be frustrating. Especially if you're actually looking and you've put some time and effort into it and you don't have positive results. This is the first site I've actually been on and have been contacted by three male scammers. I thought scammers were more or less female and only targeted me. Lol. Well go figure. If you don't want to be in the bars or around the bars you don't have to be there. You actually aren't setting your expectations too high, but you have to realize that like everything else in life, not everything works for everyone, including online dating. More importantly like everything else in life it including online dating for some people it takes a bit longer to actually meet someone you can really connect with and who can become more than a friend. Remember too not every person you meet online will be a potential girlfriend so you can respond to threads and forums and make and meet new friends. Good luck in your search and don't give up so easily.

I'm sorry that your online dating experiences didn't give any positive results, but I beg to differ because I know for a fact that not all people online are fakes, losers or scammers. Most persons mightn't find the love of their lives on an internet dating site and believe me some have, but not every person online is a fake. I've actually met a few decent guys online whom have become good friends of mine. So like everything else in life, you win some you lose some. Online dating -it works for some people and so people will say it didn’t work for them.

Some of the comments on these types of thread make me smile.
Does anyone think that by posting with a negative attitude,potential partners would find that attractive?
As a man,i believe,but could be wrong,a woman like a positive man,not arrogant,but confident and positive.
Some of the negative vibes sent out on this site,particulairy by men are likely to send the girls running.....in the opposite direction!
