Some girls want more than a kiss on the cheek goodnight! flowerforyou

And what Bastet said...if you want them to look at your profile, make sure they feel you paid attention to theirs. happy

Well I mean I change up each email i send. I just took one example. I'm also wondering if there might be a bug with the site that is not allowing new mail in. I don;t know. Oh I do give more then that I'm just using goodnight kiss as I respect women. I'm not pushy and I don't make them uncomfortable.

You get maybe one reply to every 25 mails, one out of 10 dates might go well, etc.

I did Internet dating for about 3-4 years, I found love in December of last year.... (well twice I thought I might possibly have found it before, in 2003 and 2006). But I was wrong...

Patience, my dear. Patience. It is nothing personal and it happens to all of us.

I guess your right. I'm just looking for something to do on a fr or sat night instead of sitting around being bored how hard is it to find a buddy.

Exactly... the mails you send should not be generic. They should be about a paragraph, and personalized to why you are writing.

I get a lot of, "Hey, want to chat?" I reply with, "About what?" Or "I just wanted to say hi". I reply with "Hi back". I give what I get... you see?

And with my SO... I referenced his posts (I sent the first mail, but my restrictions prevented him from mailing me) and said how I was sure I was missing out because he was so far away. It turns out, I was. I gave him my number that same day, we met in person about six weeks later...

The personal mail shows the person that you are not playing the numbers game and there was something about them you found special.


I'd listen to her. She managed to talk me out of my cave... and I am not easily impressed. Certainly not so much that I'd be getting on planes and running across the country on a whim in a month and a half.. But I did.

May I make a couple of suggestions? One about your profile. One about your post and what it says about your self-image,

I would have one about the "cute" e-mails you send, but that seems to have been covered nicely by Lilith and Bastet

Awww....how sweet you did not mention my page long e-mails that started soon after that first phone call, the one that lasted until your phone batteries died...

I am a whim.... interesting! laugh

If you remember.. You mentioned my coming out in conversation.. 3 weeks later I was there. For me? That is pretty whimsical. If you were anyone else? We may still not have met!

Sorry... OP.. We don't mean to hijack your thread.

Sorry... embarassed I had an important phone call.

First, you need some self confidence. Your post clearly indicates that you are lacking in this area. Woman are attracted to assertive, fun loving confident men. I'm not sensing any of that from you. Do you think women are?

Second, your profile is okay, but repetitive.

How about listing some of your interests?
