Is it OR
An online dating forum seems a great opportunity to add new people to those you already know - maybe some with more zest or closer to that special someone you hope to meet - moviestyle. We see their faces and get to know how they communicate. If they're honest about what they're looking for we get to throw in a question or two and they'll show their stuff in their answer. Being fairly direct should work. How is it happening for you guys and gals?

I just read the profile of a young woman looking for a kindred heart...she was pretty dynamic and forthright...admitted to wanting to lose a few pounds...asked people not near her geographhically or not in her age group not to respond...told us a little about herself. She had an appealing look - I wanted to email her to see how it was going. Maybe I will yet.

My experience so far has not been encouraging. I've nudged and winked a bit and sent a few response emails...not too much connection happening.

Let's talk about how others are handling the back and forth. What works - what doesn't. How direct do you think people are really being? In fact- I'll go out on a limb here and ask you to rate my site - and willing to do same for you. We can see how that works or maybe share some tips. Good luck on your fishing trips all.

Good afternoon Beachwalker.

I'm not so much fishing as making friends and entertaining a crush on one of them.

I love the forums here and think the people are so friendly and casual it's an easy place to meet members with their "hair down" so to speak.

If your experience here has not been all you hoped it would be so far...I would suggest getting involved in the forums. These people will drag you in and hand you a cup of coffee. They're awesome!

Good luck and happy fishing.

Liked your profile, you write well. Maybe more pics of you, dog is beautiful but I am partial to dogs. I to do not see guys stepping up. Think it might be our age, older men not up to speed on using Internet. ??
