Just re-joined Match.com & I can't believe all the same old profiles I've been looking at for months are STILL THERE!!! Is there really no one out there for me, or am I doing something wrong??? I'm not willing to drop my standards, i.e. lives too far away, income too low, huge lifestyle differences, wants children (I have two, and I am done).

Help!!!

Patience young Jedi, wink.

There are "other sites" to try. Match isn't the "only" one. Try yahoo, matchmaker, american singles -- list goes on just do a search on google for on line dating sites.

Use on line dating as "another avenue" for meeting someone not your "only avenue" this way you don't have any expecations. You could go a month w/out meeting someone of quality from on line dating then one day you get a great email from someone who fits what you're looking for.

Take care,
SP

Webdate.com... free. :o)


As peanut said, have patience. I know a lot of folks here would say that you shouldn't get involved with someone that's far away, but to me... love doesn't necessarily live around the corner from us. I do believe that it can happen over distance, so maybe something you want to expand a little? Not saying to hook up with folks overseas... but just give it a bit more range?


Otherwise, keep positive and try the other sites.

Thanks...patience has never been a virtue of mine, but I can see that I'll have to hang in there. In the mean time, the encouragment on these boards is helpful!
