This isnt Jiffy Pop kiddo. Gotta put your time in just like anything of value these days.

I say keep sending messages. One of these days you will get a response. It may not be the one you want, but ehh, it might be.

Others say, post more in the forums to let gals get to know you better.

It is your choice.

LOL Hey Welcome to the real world of dating. Sometimes it is slow start sometimes.

Your in that tough zone where young kids, work, money crunches make time a premium. Probably want to make your own on line time count.

I read your profile and some of it is really good and some ehhh could tweak a bit. This isn't rate your profile so going to skip that.

Being visable when it counts is probably key. New photo's equal new exposure as do forum posts.

You probably want to show up on a regular basis in the parenting threads, your local state thread even if you sometimes have to carry the thread with little blurbs because that is a venue locals will check,definitely in the the popular threads such as Well Wishes,jokes, and creative threads. Even if you don't have great talent supporting comments are always welcome and helps people like you.

Learn how to USE the site. There is a lot of helpful tips in how to be sucessful here in the New Members threads. Might save you falling on your own sword.

Out side of the site I would say build on your interests and life situation. You have a Natural as a parent of twins to meet other parents of twins. If you belong to any other groups; church, union, political party, daycare center, YWCA, ect..show up and participate. People are way more likly to date someone they know and trust.

Oh and if you are bombing out on getting responses see if you can get someone you trust to help you proof read or edit. A lot of times guys shoot themselves down with what they write. If you keep it short, respectful, upbeat, and it doesn't sound like it is just something thrown at any female to see if it will stick your chances go up in getting a response. In other words reference something she has in common preferably a mutual interest. And don't be stupid and write someone that you are only going to meet in a fairy tale and be all booty hurt because she doesn't answer. AND for Chrimey sakes NEVER bash someone for not answering. Not everyone makes this their life calling and if they are currently dateing someone that eventually fades you have not cut your own throat.
