Do I need a break?
| Mon, 12-12-2005 - 11:18pm |
I've been doing the online dating thing for a few months again and it seems like it is always the same guys lately! I've tried different sites, but keep getting guys who aren't what I am looking for in one way or another (criminal records, un-representative photos, guys that start out great and then fall off the face of the planet before we even meet).
Would it be smart to take a break for awhile until some new guys join, or should I stick it out? I really want to meet someone, but I don't want to just take "anyone"
I guess I know I should stick it out, so does anyone have any advice to power through the rough spells? :-)

I am a fan of taking breaks when you are feeling fed up.
Maybe you do need a break. I found that even though I was optimistic there was a certain amount of disappointment when a first date led to nothing more...I think it showed when I met another new person. I also think that this time of year is hectic for people and they hesitate to start communicating with a new person, or put a profile up until after the holidays. That could have something to do with no new profiles jumping out. Perhaps revamping your own profile would be helpful as well. I would periodically have a look at what other women (the competition) had to say in theirs. I found it to be a helpful gauge of how my profile measured up to the others that were being viewed.
