HI Linda,

I live by an old Japanese proverb:

"Do Nothing and have Nothing to regret"...now, it does Not apply to everything, but when it comes to dating,it seems to serve me well; it is Sure handy when you have had most of a bottle of wine and you want to call that low-down, ghosting,#@!?! from 2 weeks ago! :)

Were I you, Chica, I would wait to see what his response is. If you can email him questions, then email him another way to contact you, preferabbly one with a 'block' feature, if need be, like Yahoo im. Then you can still communicate and save Yo money, Honey!

Truly,
Cupcake

I'd say wait and see what he does once your pic is posted. Then the ball will really be in his court. If he takes the bait then I would say join and see what happens. Good Luck Linda!!

Well, the icebreakers are canned questions, sort of like with eH.

If he's a member, he can write to you and you can read it. You can't respond but if he's at all smart, he'll include a regular email address in his note.

In fact, I never write anyone email on ANY site these days without also including an email address for them to use in case they're not a member. And I "hide" it a bit.

For example, if my email was "gbush@whitehouse.gov" I'd put it in as "you can email me at gbush at whitehouse dot gov" or something like that. Otherwise, the automatic software can strip it out and delete it. Sometimes I'll also spell "com" with a "k" or something, just in case the software is getting better.

I say hopefully when he sees your picture, he writes a real email with a way to contact him! :)

Re-subscribing to these services should never be based on contacting one person. Or you're setting yourself up for disappointment. At least that's been my experience. This whole online is a numbers game. Yes some people do get lucky and meet their match on the first date. Some people win millions in the lottery too. And that's what keeps us all playing the game (never think it isn't a game).

In my 4 years on OLD, I have done the subscribe-for-a-particular-match thing five times, and two of them resulted in relationships. The actual QUALITY of the relationships aside, my odds are pretty good!

This discussion piqued my curiosity and I ended up filling out their free personality profile. It's quite dead-on I must say. I suspect though that they won't find me very many

Yes, the number of matches is a concern for me, even in this market.

The easiest way to get your mind off something is to find another thing to occupy it. So long as you are willing to get active on the service with other people in case this guy ghosts, then I say do it.
