Just thought I'd throw the question out there this week. How's everyone doing these days? Are we going out for some great dates? Interesting news to report? Are you on a hiatus?

Let's see...I met someone on Match about a month ago and we've stayed in steady contact. May do something this week, but not sure just yet. He seems to be very nice, and we've had about six dates so far. Still a little early to tell what the future may hold, but I think he's a nice guy with some wonderful qualities. I like that he's on the modest side as well (what a rarity!).

Doing well and I'm on a dating hiatus. For how long? Who knows? (smile)
Every now and then I check sites and may send a message and meet, but realistically have not met anyone of quality in the recent year. Always hopeful and glad you met someone interesting and modest. Yes that is a rarity!

I'm still meeting guys, but I have not been impressed by any of my choices so far. I'm sure it's my fault for not being younger, thinner and less picky. ;)

I am exchanging e-mail with two guys who contacted me and may meet one of them soon, but I am not real excited. They are both older and much more overweight than I, and I'm not sure they want to date so much as they want to find a woman to sit home and watch DVDs with.

I keep making my yahoo profile visible, then hiding it again.

Well, after a hiatus of about 2 months, I am trying again.

I've only been doing OLD for 5 months and in that time I've been on two meets that turned into several dates with guy #1, though I was not attracted to him at all. He was a perfect gentleman and took me to some very nice places. Guy #2 well, there are sparks all over the place. We have been on 7 dates in the last month. I know it's still very early and we have not had sex....yet. Trying to hold off as long as possible. We're just having fun being with each other and getting to know each other. I'm having a GREAT summer!

I'm 60 plus days into my 90 day OLD dating hiatus, and I have to say, I'm really enjoying not having to be on the emotional roller coaster that dating causes. Plus it's so much WORK--I'm plenty busy with other aspects of my life so I'm hardly sitting around twiddling my thumbs. There's a part of me that gets anxious at not having male attention or any "prospects", but that's another reason to continue and work through it.

Sept 1 will be 90 days and I may or may not get back online then, since I leave for Helsinki for 8 days on Sept 2 (going to an international choral competition with my singing group)--so I'll probably wait at least until I get back from Finland.

Glad to hear you've met someone nice, though--hope it continues to go well!

Amen, sister. :)

I haven't been back to this board for awhile, so it's nice to "see" everyone.

I am jumping back into the dating scene. I posted a CL ad and received about 50 responses - phew. Mostly normal ones, too, so that was surprising. I've been corresponding with about 10 of them casually and I've met one.

In fact, I have date #2 with him tonight. He's not what I usually go for physically, but he was so easy to talk to, seems really nice, and likes a lot of the same things I do. Plus, he actually seems to be making an effort by planning a real date for tonight, calling when he says he will, etc. That's a refreshinh change -- I have met so many men who are downright lazy about dating and relationships that I take notice when someone makes an effort.

AJ, enjoying life with C.

I guess you could say I'm on hiatus and have been for quite a while now. I guess you could say I'm still in the grief process of my last relationship which didn't work out. I have looked at both yahoo and match and even made my profile viewable for a while. I have not seen anyone who looked really interesting to me, although I am not up to dating someone new even now. Sort of disappointed at so few new profiles. Amazing that the same guys who were on there over a year ago are still on there. At this point, even if I saw someone who might be a good match, I'm fed up with the heartache and disappointments of online dating. Not sure when or if I'll be up to it again.
