I know, I know we not supposed to do this but I have hidden my profile and even worse - told my new man that I did. Well, I just said "don't be alarmed but I am going to hide my profile from new searches".
I had 2 dates with this guy in the span of 4 days. We spent an amazing time together on Sat from 5:30 until 2:30 in the morning. We went for a bike ride, played with the ball in a park, went to dinner followed by going to the movies. Yes, we made out on the couch too but only the 1st base :) I don't know if this will work out or not but I felt that even if it didn't - I need a break regardless. So here I am. He did call on Sunday and e-mailed this morning. I know he will be busy most of this week but we tentatively talked about meeting again on Wed or Thursday. I am keeping my fingers crossed because I really feel we are very compatible in many ways.
I did reply to one more guy that I have been talking to about 1st meet but I am not sure if he will go for it now since I have hidden my profile. I think a lot of people take is as a playing sign. But that doesn't really matter because I am really hoping to date the guy I went out on Sat with.
Thanks for reading my rumblings :) Happy 4th!

I'm tempted to do the same thing. I want to hide my profile and concentrate on motorcycle guy!! Very excited about him. Your date sounded like alot of fun! Here's hoping and praying we both get a 3rd date!! :-)

Hey Donna, I will keep my fingers crossed! The reason I did it is because I am sick of match displaying that I am "on line" even when I am not! That can definetly send the wrong message to the person that I care about.
Oh "my man" just called and we are going to his friends party! Yey!!

ivosoh - I recently did the same thing. I've had 5 dates with a guy I really like and I want to see where this goes. Plus I needed a break from OLD anyway. If things don't work out with the guy I'm seeing, I'd unhide my profile. The good thing about that is when you've been "hidden" for awhile and you come out to play again, it's like you're new and you get more responses.
So I don't see a downside to hiding your profile right now. However, I do know enough, and I'm sure some of us have learned the hard way, not to delete your profile totally just yet.
Good luck!!

O.k. I know this is a bit off topic, but being rather new to OLD and not knowing how match works....If you hide your profile, but someone types in your screenname what happens? Also, How come someone I know has their profile come up if you type in their screen name, but not when you do a general search that they should pop up for?

Hi Momma...


I'm sure someone has the answer to your question. I have a suggestion though... Create a new topic for it, this way the original question of this thread gets the attention it deserves. :) I'm sure if you create a new thread, you'll get the answers you need.
