Well, I joined match.com on March 1st. I've only actually met up with one guy so far. (Totally, didn't look like his photo and personality wasn't my type either.) I don't know if I'm too picky, had higher expectations or what, but I gues I'm a little disappointed. The men that seem interested are generally not my type. I have e-mailed a few and they'll respond and then nothing. For the first several days, I didn't want to do any of the initiating, but since then I have e-mailed some. A few have responded, but only once. I know I don't usually end with, "hope to hear form you," because I don't like it to seem like I'm chasing them. Oh well, I guess I just wanted to share my intial thoughts with match.

So if I got you correctly, you did eHarmony before and this is your first time on Match?
Your expectations are definitely WAY too high. You've been on for less than 2 weeks and "only" had one meet in person? Dang girl, that's great, why would you complain?
OLD takes time and patience. Don't be disappointed, be positive and proactive... Go through your profile as if you were reading the profile of a stranger. Be picky. What in your profile is unattractive to your type of guy? Are your pictures good, with at least one head shot and one full shot? Are there any "jokes" in your profile that might come across as mean or snotty? Remember sarcasm doesn't always work in text, that's better saved for later in the getting-to-know-someone process. And of course if you're willing to
Don't despair, it's only been what? Two weeks? Online dating requires a few things: a. a sense of humor b. a bit of luck c. time
I understand that it can be discouraging sometimes. No doubt, there are some whacky guys out there, many who'll leave you scratching your head in wonderment... but there are some good ones out there too :) Being a female in the world of OLD seems to better the odds a bit. Hang in there and keep us posted!
