I want some EH updates
49

Here are mine, please share yours:

Entertainment Lawyer - Next I can't take the effimanite voice

Widower - I haven't heard from him since his vm last Thursday. I sent a brief email this evening so it is do or die on this one. (too bad as he was the most promising on paper)

Marathon runner - open communication. I love the way he writes and he is writing me while on vacation. He has shared his personality profile which is very positive. He is worth a meet although I will have to hear his voice first (see above)

Graduate - he just graduated from grad school. I winked at him a month ago and he finally winked back this past weekend put since then he has been moving quickly. He is cute and nice profile; we just exchanged 2nd questions. We will see where this goes.

A friend of mine joined on Saturday and already has a date to meet two men. I have been on this over a month (closer to six weeks I think) and have yet to meet a single guy. Geesh!! I hope I can meet at least one guy before my subscription is up. Also, I have not gotten a match in the last few days. Prior to this I was getting 1-4 matches a day.

I am really trying to be patience and will admit that the quality so far out ways the quantity but come on something please!

Outside of EH, I have gotten the word out that I am available. I don't know of anyone who has friends in my age range but I will try what it takes.

I changed my "wanting children" preference to "maybe" and i got 5 matches this morning.... hopefully one of them initiates communication... or is it exceptable for me to send 5 questions.. but i'll give it a couple days... do the people who show up in my queue nessecarily get my profile in theirs as welll? would makes sense if that was the case... BUt atleast they were guys in their 30s and not 40s..


but did you hear.. i actually kissed a guy who was 33 last night... got his phone number too... that just might be the oldest guy i've kissed since my divorce... lol... my initial thoughts is he's a player, but that's okay.. i know how to handle those... they are great to look at but i can easily NOT take them serious....


the Graduate?....lol... is he younger than you..lol... i didn't see that movie but i saw Rumor Has It.. an okay flick. not great.


glad you

Hang in there, msmsavannah - from reading what you write, you are doing all you can. I wonder how much your friend who has the dates is being picky versus just grabbing them? I mean you could probably have a date with the lawyer if you were to put up with the voice - but you don't like it and that is good - you are being selective.

I like that you put the word out - that is very good. And I suppose you are getting out and about all you can - even if it is to the park.

The minutes waiting and looking seem like an eternity - but they will pass quickly and you will find someone good - it just won't be tonight!

I like the one that is writing on his vacation. And you know, in all my OLD experience, I have only run across a few that had a bad phone voice - and you have gotten your quota with the effiminate lawyer - so no more of those for you!! LOL!! Marathon Runner and Gradguy are sounding good!

Keep us posted! You are young and very pretty by your pic - and eharmony does have quality - someone is going to snap you up!!

young and pretty...that is funny to me because last time I was in the market I truly was young and pretty but I am definately seeing a difference from 33 to 38. I will just keep plugging away but for the first time in my life, I am scared that someone will find me unattractive. All I can do is keep working on myself; right. It has always been more than physical with me so the right guy will find me attractive right!?!

LOL!! The graduate is 44 so much older than me (he just finished his masters). He is cuter than a lot of the 30 somethings so I hope his pics are accurate. By the way, my myspace guy (Ted) is 35 which is 2 1/2 yrs younger and he is a great kisser. I can't wait to hear your updates as you meet some potentials.

same here.. no pic, no communication.


all the guys in their 40s either closed me or i closed them.... now i have 5 guys my age.... two of them have viewed me, but no communication.. yet...


i went over my introductory responses and think they pretty accurately describe me... so we'll see what other matches come my way.

Go ahead and send questions to those you're interested in... nothing to lose, right?

I agree. I did send the questions to KarateMan initially and we went all the way to stage 4 of communication and wrote each other a few times but he never called and so I sent an update a week later asking how he was doing but no answer (he says he was sick of OLD and in a funk about his knee). And then I closed him - but then saw him later on match and sent a note about his knee and that is when he "bloomed" in being interested and he wanted a relationship so maybe it was about timing - I also had better pix at that time too. It was like a 5 month process. LOL!!

I do think pix are everything. I believe you have to do all you can to have the best ones and only recent ones. Even if you have to take your camera to your hairdresser or get them professionally done. I had mine done in a modeling studio!!

Yeah Loony - I couldn't write it better. I believe it is more of a matter of a guy's taste than our own standards for beauty

"YES!!!!!!!!! The right guy will find you attractive!!!!!! The right guy will like your little quirks, too! The right guy will be lucky to find you and he'll know how lucky he is... and he'll make every effort to make sure you don't get away.... He'll notice you. He'll pick YOU out of the crowd and try to impress you...

So yes, keep working on you.. keep working to be a"date worth keeping".... keep moving in the right direction with every confidence that the right guy will find you! or you'll find each other.. but it will happen when it is suppose to happen...

the only thing we can do is be ready on the inside for that great catch... and not feel "not good enough" on the inside that we sabotage it.... "
