I was just wondering whether this site really works or am i a bad person at heart. i have been trying to get a date, writing mails, sending flowers ... but no luck till now :((
May be the expectations of the girls are higher than what i meet ..
any advice from people on how to be "successful" in getting a date online ? :)

By the looks of things, you have not been here long. I'll let you in on something... you don't get a 30 day guaranteed date. It takes patience... lots of patience. You need to have a good look around, explore your social options & be realistic. Self deprecation is not helpful or attractive. Lose it. You are not the first nor will you be the last to discover that flowers & letters do not get returned. It's the equivalent of walking up to every girl in a bar and saying "gee your pretty". You'll find many wont even respond. It happens. Try not to personalize the lack of responses. It would be different if you had been here for years(like some of us), social in the forums & never gotten a flower returned.
Basically, learn to socialize. There is much to be learned by spending a little time in the forums. Read blogs, posts your thoughts, be yourself & take you time. Most of all, try to enjoy the experience.
I've met some wondrful people on this site in he little over a year I've been here. Some of who I'm happy to say are great friends, so even if you're not lucky in love, you are bound to meet some excellent folks in the process. Just join into the forums, you'll get to know people better that way.
I wasn't looking But yet still found the lady of my dreams... I Love her with all that i'am.
Had anyone asked me three months ago i would have said... I don't know, why bother?
May i suggest that you be yourself ... do not stress on finding ... and enjoy meeting people in forums.
It is much easier for others to make a decision about how much interest they would have in you by being able to review your opinoins and attitudes in forum posting.
And yes again it really does work, Bringing to souls together. Not only did We find in each other someone to love... But we also found someone to love for life... and it is our absolute wish to be together for lifelong sharing of love and family.
So when things get you down... just be yourself and go forward and know that you are being watched by a potential love everyday you post.
Persaverance,determination,positive thinking and sendind flowers,messages,cards and getting known in forums doesn't hurt either.Since being here,have met more men outside of this site.Yet,I think of this as homegood people,fun freinds and some educational issues explored.I know some who met here are married or livin together.Some have never gotten more than 1 message.Give it time,enjoy being here and maybe your partner will appear,hope so.

Indyfella: Am I the only one paying $29.95 a month for this ?
Yep, keep sending me those checks. Thx btw.
I've met in person several nice people from here, and online I've made lots of friends that are just fun to hang out with. I had no expectations when I joined, was just bored. Meeting someone great is just gravy. Give it time, and just have fun.
