I have been OLD for about a month. I have only corresponded with one man that I was interested in but he ghosted. Anyway, I was wondering what everyone's experiencing doing the contacting themselves has been? Did icebreakers or winks (canned contacts) work or did you use email instead.

I am kinda shy about doing the contacting and would really like the man to make the first move but am wondering if this is just another area in my life that I will have to change. Believe me, it is the world's biggest stretch that I even tried OLD and am public at that!

I've had pretty good luck with writing a quick email saying hi. I was kind of skeptical at first about being the one to initiate contact but I have gotten some feedback from them. Sure not every guy writes back but some is better than none! I too would rather have a man contact me but I've been getting sick of waiting around! hehe

I winked at my guy on match in March. We have been together ever since! You have nothing to lose by doing an icebreaker or wink. That is what they are for!
