I meet somebody from online and it's their first time meeting somebody from online when it's been about my 10th time. The reason is that they're just beginning so in all probability, they're not going to stop at the first person they meet. They want to try a few more. I understand that but it doesn't make it any better. I'm emailing a guy now that says he wants to meet the next time he's over this way and he's excited about it because it'll be his first meet, so I'm not expecting much from this at all. Then there's another guy I did meet and when we met, he said "congratulations, you're the first one I met from that site". So, I didn't really think I had much of a chance of another date with him but there were two more after that and we're still IMing so I guess something can come out of it.

I understand your frustrations "frustrated" (no pun intended) but you need to change your attitude if you plan on dating from OLD. Remember ZERO expecations even after you meet someone and you do set up a second date. Go in with a fun and positive attitude, trust me otherwise they will sense it. If you can't then OLD may not be for you. Life is a journey and so is dating. Yes, some people get lucky and others struggle for years and years. So when life gives you lemonaide well you know the rest. Have a little faith and patience.....
