My profile has been up on match for a few days and I've gotten quite a lot of hits and a decent amount of emails. I seem to be attracting 2 types of guys - men who are much older than I am or men who obviously want to just hook up. This one guy lives in a different state, but I thought "what the heck.." so I answered his wink with an email and we've exchanged a few. Apparently he travels to my town for business quite frequently and is always looking for a "little relaxation" as a break from the work routine. I could be reading into it wrong, but I don't think so. And I've also gotten a few crude emails. Maybe the problem is that 2 of my pictures are obviously of me in a club, and I'm holding a drink. Do they think I'm a party girl? And what's with the old men? I'm talking men who are 20 years older than I am! One guy was only a few years younger than my dad! I was going to put on my profile that I'm a born again virgin an won't have sex until marriage, but if I did that I wouldn't get any responses at all!
The one decent guy I've been exchanging emails with seems really nice, and he's cute, too. But he also seems very cynical, like he's already determined that my profile is a fake and I'll disappoint him.
Also, is it wierd to feel like I'm lying to all these guys I'm having contact with? I got an instant message today while emailing someone else and I was going back and forth between the two. I felt so guilty, like they both knew! I know none of them assume they are the only one I'm talking to, but what if they know each other? Does that ever happen? And what if I email the wrong one by mistake?
I'm not very good at this and I'm getting frustrated. How long does it take before you find a prince in this sea of toads?
