Cripes, whats the deal? I must be on a bad roll here.


The EH guy that I closed, remember him? B/c he called me, said he'd call the next day & never did. & i didnt then hear ANYthing for 8 days -so i closed him.

How infuriating! Do you think it's that men are different at communication than us? Don't they like emailing? ......
I just don't understand it. Either you are interested & email, or you aren't- simple really!!

I got the same thing. Same reopen request only for them to dissappear. I dont know what kind of games these guys are playing. I think some of them are really not single. Some are testing the waters to see whats out there before they break up with their current mate and some are just jerks. But its NOT fun or funny and its a waste of our time and money. So my advice to EH guys...get real or get off the site.


I only lasted 3 weeks on EH and got fed up with the games.


I can see your frustration.

I know two men who got on online dating sites just to see whats out there. Not to actually meet anyone. One was on it during a committed relationship but just looking. So I think there is a lot of that out there. They just look and when it comes time to actually meet they ghost.


THey dont get it but its a waste of our time and money.

Maybe it's not the men, maybe on a deep level you are ambivalent about a new relationship, and so you attract equally ambivalent men.

That could be in person - but there is no way for your computer - or theirs to detect that.

Online dating is great because it brings the world to your door - but it is also a challenge for the same reason - you get everyone who is looking - married and unhappy, just horny for the night, just wants sex, desperate for a relationship, single and happy but looking because they haven't met in person, good people who are not a match, on and on. So, you have to put up with all of that and weed through and keep a sense of humor. It is a numbers game. But best of all it teaches you lessons about dating and about people and about yourself.

I put up with over 6 years of bad dating mistakes - both from IRL and OLD - and then this time around I spent 5 months on EH with over 800 in the trash and now I am dating someone. He seems nice - but it has only been a month so who knows? It is easy to find a date but hard to find a quality match.
