I have been single for a while and have done my share of dating. Lately it seems like a guy will be interested in me, but then when it comes to actually going out they will say call me when you get in town etc...I will call and have to leave a message. Then I don't hear from them. They will come up to chat with me and flirt...they call at other times...I can't figure it out. It it me?? Has anyone ever dealt with something like this. I know they are interested but won't follow through????

Hi jovial,

My personal thought is bad luck. Dating is hard and everyone goes through spells like this. What are your thoughts/feelings about online or speed dating?

Thank you for your reply. I have tried online dating several years ago. I met alot of different people no one special. I have not tried speed dating and I am not sure if San Antonio Texas has speed dating. I will have to do some research. Thanks for your suggestions. I just hope this black cloud over my head blows over soon!!!

I've personally had mixed results with online dating (eHarmony being the best and yahoo Personals being the worst) and we have speed dating here in Atlanta, but I have not tried that. I have a few friends who've had success with it, though. Either way, both seem like they'd give better results than just waiting for men to fall in your lap since everyone participating is there to meet people to date.

Best of luck, to you! It's a jungle out there...

Hi Snafu,

Speed dating is where you're in a room with other singles and organized to rotate so that you spend a short period of time with each person. In that short period of time - and I'm talking very short, like no more than 5 minutes - you determine which of the singles you would be interested in going on a date with. At the end of the event, you are given contact information for anyone you were interested in who was also interested in you.

In a nutshell, that's how it works.
