And then he viewed my profile. LOL! It's ok, because he see's I'm online too, but I'm really ticked because he's such a coward which wants me to slap him silly.

Speaking of embarrassment.... I was embarrassed when someone at karaoke saturday came up to me and said... i saw your profile on match.com.... Not sure why that was embarrassing actually... just something about seeing someone in real life catch you advertising yourself online... anyone else experience that? And are you embarrassed too?

I did once. I was at a local sports bar with some friends and this guy comes up to me and says he saw me on YP. He was very nice but waaaayy too old for me (I think 17 - 20 years older). He was a very nice man and had he been a little younger I would have considered dating him. I just am not interested in someone my parent's age. I did feel a little uncomfortable about it too. Not sure why. He was obviously on there too so why should I be embarrassed.

I don't know how I would feel about telling people I met someone on line too. I think there is the perception that if you are doing on line dating you must be desperate. It has changed a lot in the past several years and is much more mainstream but I still have a hard time with it. I have an hidden profile on YP now. I canceled my account months ago due to not really meeting anyone and only really got one date. I'm sure some of that is lack of a good picture and I only had one up. I have a profile on POF right now, but no picture posted. I am wanting to get a good one but not sure how I feel about having it up for the whole world to see.

Priscilla whose glad she isn't the only one a little weirded out by online dating.

>>I did feel a little uncomfortable about it too. Not sure why. He was obviously on there too so why should I be embarrassed.<< Good point.. but the person who approached me was kinda making fun of me so that probably contributed to my embarrassment.... and he was like "why" i-didn't-think-you-were-desperate attitude. But I told him that many of my friend are doing it now so I thought I would give it a try, too. And he agreed that I'd meet crazier people at a bar than on match.com... but I still had a feeling like I got caught or something....

OMG! OLD IS WEIRD!!!!! I don't like it AT all! I've had people recognize me! They will walk past me and say: Hey misplaced! Hey Texan Or Hey misplaced texan (which is my true handle)!!! I could just GROAN!!!!!!!!

I've had that happen here and in Europe. I am starting to read that new Dr. Phil book and you know, even though their are things that I think are interesting, but really on the skim of things that doesn't delve very deep, I think it is a very interesting read to think, ponder and find a few faults that you may have that continues to make us single. When reading it, I thought of this board and of course myself. I saw many things that each of us do that tends to make it tough sometimes to find someone. The biggest factor: FEAR

Fear of finding another loser or getting hurt again (kind of runs on the same line).

I found that I have an EXTREME fear and I will absolutely go bezerk if I find someone get to close to me. I am trying to delve deeper into that now and understand guys more. Like the part of why they dont' call when they say they do. It was just a REALLY interesting read and I recommend it.

I haven't finished it yet, but when I do, I will let you know what I think.

I ran into this woman at a summer fair who declared "I saw you on Match.com!" I thought "Yeah, let's have a date!" I told her what she wanted to do about it. I gave her my contact information (knowing how women are skittish about giving their info out) and never heard from her.

There are several women online from my town and I keep looking for them LOL.

I don't get embarrassed. In fact I hope I am recognized.

I had an idea for you if you have time - take your camera to the mall and get the sales lady in a good store(s) to photo you in different outfits. LOL!!
