If it means anything, I can't understand why a guy wouldn't even respond to your initial e-mails. If you lived closer to TX, I would say I would respond the moment I got it!
I would say that you are anything BUT "hardcore undateable". The men you are meeting fall into that category. But, believe me, I know exactly how you feel.....there's only so much a person can take for an extended period of time. You're just having a string of bad luck.
Maybe it IS time to take a break and pamper yourself and the HELL with them!
I just don't get it...but then I don't understand why so many of us on this board and many of my friends IRL have so much trouble finding a good guy, either.
"hardcore undateable"...absolutley NOT!!! I use to search the other women's profiles (to check the competition) and I'll tell you, you got 'em beat hands down. Like Sheri said, I just don't get it.
Take a break. Sometimes it helps to get perspective. Hugs!
I don't really believe that I'm "undateble" In fact, it's quite the opposite. I think I'm very dateable. I like how I look . I also happen to think that I'm quite likeable - again - not perfect, I have a few personality flaws but overall, I'm pretty normal and emotionally healthy.
Hoover -- You're gorgeous and smart and funny and looking for something real. The sad fact is a lot of the men in OLD are not looking for that. They're looking for quick and dirty. Literally. So it is not a bad thing to be 'rejected' by somebody looking for that.
This story from Internet week came across my desk yesterday -- my apologies if somebody has already posted it.
In a nutshell: "The survey found that 44 percent of adults using dating sites were looking for a serious relationship, 43 percent for friendship, 39 percent for a date, 37 percent for physical intimacy and 20 percent for marriage."
I won't even comment on the "43% looking for friendship." WTF is that?
Think of it as a geometry lesson. A big circle, with 44% shaded in symbolizing those looking for a serious relationship (and I am assuming that includes the 20% looking for marriage).Then, your circle of men you'd consider dating intersecting with that shaded portion. NOW you have to subdivide yet again for the ones in your geography; and the ones who are looking for smart and educated (because our guy friend here excepted, lots of men are threatened by that.)
Leaves kind of a small pool. Your fishnet just hasn't scooped up the right batch yet.
But taking a break is never bad when you need it. Like exercise or a power nap.

Hoover,

You know, JH, it is a numbers game.

Aw, sweetie, I'm sorry.

Hey Jodie,
Have no worries about me. ;-)

Thanks everyone.
