Why am I so unlucky??

Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me with this. '

I had met a really nice guy on eharmony over a month ago. We hit it off great. For a month we talked for hours on the phone. We had 3 dates, which all went well. After the 3rd date, he cancelled a date we had during the week, the weekend he was going to see his parents, then he said he would call Sunday. Sunday came, no call, and then he just closed communication with me, no explanation nothing. (this was 2 months ago).

My friend said I should join match, which I did. I found his profile on match, I viewed it, and then he has hidden himself. Nice guy huh??

I don't consider myself ugly by any means, I am not beautiful, but not ugly. But since I have been on match, I have not gotten a wink, email, nothing. I have my photo posted too. I hear people get so many responses on there, but for me, 2 weeks, nothing.

Can someone maybe explain whats going on?

Thank you, this is really depressing.

Thank you too. I wish I had someone to re-write it for me. LOL. It's very hard to write about yourself. I don't really have any hobbies or really much free time to have any. I just finished going to college for 4 years part time to get my associates degree. That was time consuming.

Well, that's something major to mention in your profile! Talk about how and why you did that.

I will. I never realized (dumb me) that GHOSTS were all over.

Thats true. That is a pretty big accomplishment. I will figure how to fit that in.

"Finally have my degree under my belt after 4 years of sweating over books, and am ready to get out there and have fun."

Congratulations, by the way!!

I agree with you on how difficult it is to write about yourself - I mean, yes dammit I'm great, but how do I get that across without coming off egotistical???


But congrats on that degree, that is a fabulous accomplishment, especially since you're also raising a teenage son which brings it's own challenges (mine is now 14 and 'challenges' is quite the euphemism!! LOL).

And why do you say you're not beautiful? Of course you are. Even if you don't feel that way, fake it. :) I promise, you'll feel better about yourself if you believe you're beautiful.

Anyway, as for your question, welcome to the woes of Online Dating! Unfortunately, what you've described is something that has happened to just about every one of us on the board at one time or another. It's just something you have to get used to.

As for not getting replies, that's something a lot of us have experienced as well. One thing I would do is write to as many guys as possible. The logic behind that is, sooner or later, one will write back. :)

It is intimidating when you first begin online dating. But the good news is you have this board and all the resources here to help make it a little more bearable. LOL
