online dating question

So i set up a profile on match with no pic. I still got some winks/emails. I emailed back and forth with this one guy, i saw his pic, then he asked to see mine. We've been emailing for about 2 weeks now. but I went a few days without contacting him since i was away. i wrote back sunday, then he wrote back that morning or late sunday. I sent him some pics last night at 10 and now i havent heard back from. I guess i'm paranoid that he thinks i'm gross and now has no interest. I guess I will give it until tomorrow. What do you think?

I wouldn't worry that he's gone until you haven't heard from him for 3 days. You only sent the email last night!

But if you don't hear from him again try not to be too disappointed. It doesn't mean he thinks you're "gross..." It could be that you're just not his type.

And that means you move on to the NEXT!

You have to have a rather thick skin to play the online dating game, because everyone is NOT going to like you.

Good luck.

If you're that self-conscious about your looks I think online dating is going to be too nerve-wracking for you.

But if you want to continue OLD and start ENJOYING the process, you've got to get more confident. Just realize that any man who stops talking to you, for any reason, is not the guy for you. The right man will appreciate everything about you.

Maybe in the US it's different but here in Europe sadly nearly all the guys who do online dating are sad losers or sex-onlys. When I first moved to this country I did online dating for 8 months on various sites and had so many really unpleasant experiences I had to jack it in finally.

Well I'm sure he doesn't think you're gross but if you don't hear from him just know it's nothing personal, you never know what's going on in someone's life or what they think they're looking for. I'm sure there are lots of guys who are attracted to you who you have no interest in.

After all there are a lot of guys who you like but just don't want in that way also. We do have to try not to take things personally. When you are in sales it's 50 sales calls for a handful of sales.
