Having Little Activity and Confused?
Find a Conversation

Okay, well I just moved to a new city (Chicago) and thought I would try Match about a month ago, I was on there for about a week with little to no decent activity. I took my profile down because the timing just didn't seem right and I just posted my profile to be viewed again. This was about two days ago. I don't know exactly what is wrong but I am having so little activity, I did Match in my hometown of Atlanta last year and had a lot of fun with it and met some great guys and had a lot of activity right away. The thing is, I have met great guys in person up here with no problem (I'm 28 also), I just thought I would try the online thing to meet some new people but I am having almost no activity and I'm confused. I am not a paying member this go round, I was the last time I was on (about a month ago) and emailed and winked at some guys and again no response. Not sure if it's me or if it's just simply a case of not having mutual attraction? I have two pictures of me on there which I think show my face well. I am pasting my online profile text:

I just moved here from Atlanta a little over a month ago so I am still very new to the city. I had lived almost my entire life in Atlanta and decided it was time for a change . So, with all that said, I consider myself a bit of a fearless type when it comes to life . My main reason for moving to Chicago is to study improv and comedy writing which I have wanted to do for a while so I am finally embarking on that venture. I have already made some great friends and found that all important job (and one that I actually like) so I consider myself fortunate. Some other little tidbits, I never really thought I had a Southern accent but according to new friends up here (and virtually everyone I meet actually) I do indeed possess one. I love to cook, especially Southern food and I love food in general, however, to counteract the potential effects of my love of fine cuisine, I do like to work out and stay in shape. I am generally a positive person about love and life and I value this characteristic in others. Most of all, I am looking for someone who is fun to be around and a genuine good guy. I really like a down to earth attitude and dislike big egos or the player types. Other than that, I am hoping to just meet someone I click with whether it be friendship or something that turns into more. I am really loving this city so I am hoping to use this as an opportunity to see more of the city and meet some new people.

Here's what I generally look for when I'm searching on Match.
Did I read your post right... you were online for a week? And then off, and then on for two more days?
Maybe you just need to give it some time.

Good luck and let me know what you think!!
