ColonelBogey: I think that the biggest mistake some people make is taking things too seriously too soon. Approaching,chatting,meeting and getting to know should be fun and casual and not forced.
When I split from my ex I joined a pay dating site,created a very detailed profile about who and what I am and who I was looking for.I presumed that I would find my ideal match from that and conducted myself too seriously. From that I met a few women who where utterly not for me after long discussions.
I think that we all evolve in this online dating mallarky and eventually work out a strategy that works for us.
But a big mistake is falling for someone too quickly too soon before ever meeting.
80% is attraction and chemistry that you only feel once meeting.
Very true

justlove1966: I think it is not hard it is the way you present yourself the first time.
Last night joined a site, pic approved today, had 185 mails. Have not got through them yet, but in the 30 I replied to have 5 dates, 4 for coffee and one for the movies. Not bad for an old chick eh! None of them as old as me either, all under the 50! I am chuffed. So its not so hard if you put your mind to it. dancing

Ccincy: To some people being perfect matters more then most things.If only some people would accept others for who they are.


I agree, people need to wake up and see the other side!

I would go crazy with a perosn that would be perfect because I am NOT ONE!!
I am a creative mind that has both side both sides of her brain working and it would kill me to be with a simple perfect person!

The reason dating is so hard is because some people make it hard.

They turn it into a chore.When it should be enjoyable.

justdave11: What ye all think?
The troble with online thingy is that people are not serious enough.They just are bored,and want something to do . My exsperience is every thing is lovely until you ask to meet for coffee or something then the fright sets inof the reality,and they run like hellroll eyes

I prefer quality over quantity.And I can not get my head around how anyone can make any sort of judgment on so many people in such a short space of time regarding them being dating material?
Is this the American way?
dunno
