I do not know your experience but I have come to realize that it's really hard to find a match within one's locality. Some matches are found overseas and are fearing to take a risk. Have been here for a while and can comfortably say that it is hard than expected.

I've been here years (on and off), and do fr, never even come close to finding anyone.....so hard to find someone that I'm considering becoming a monk!

Dear Tess. I am here since March 2013 and I got married in Pakistan one year later. It's a true love and a miracle of God. There is nothing He can not do. I hope and pray that God will do what He has prepared for you .
I am still here for the ministry of God, to strengthen the young men in this world. (write to me when you want to know more about it) Rev. Mom Vera

I've been online for 12 years.

If I got two messages in a year, then I did something. I used to work on my profile, do new photos. Never got me anywhere. In 2014,I just gave up. All I was doing was getting aggravated. I wasn't doing myself any favors. I put my efforts in my work, and hobbies.

Besides, I couldn't read women at all. I never knew the difference between interest, or just being cordial. I know lots of guys will lie to women. I won't. Being completely up front with them, simply does not work. I'm only here for the forums. I haven't even browsed in the dating section, for a good five years. I've gotten notices in my e-mail inbox, I just delete them.
Why should I look for something that doesn't exist?

It's harder now than before the online dating started... I figure it meant to be that way !!!

It is very hard and also want to give up. I think maybe just end up to have a pet at the end instead of finding someone. It's not compulsory to have someone, not everyone is lucky to find their true love. Just enjoy life and have hobbies will be better.

I've met others that feel my way. That freedom is pretty relaxing. No pressure, you live to suit yourself. One old lady I know had been married three times. Her last one died 12 years ago, she now claims that this has been the happiest time of her life.

Am a new person for this app am not able to find a partner, give me any ideas?

Well, I held out and stayed true to my location preferences and finally did meet someone thru M2 in my town a mere 4 miles away.

It can and does happen.

Sometimes you need to just broaden your horizons and look where you didn't think to look.

Put away your expectations and see the person for who they are instead of who you expect them to be.

Many people are just normal people who have no ability to convey that online.
Ya gotta talk to them...meet them and actually sit down and talk with them.

There's so much more to someone than a tcp/ip connection.

This is a very nice advice. I remain optimistic that no matter how long it will take, I will find my match one day.

I have dating interest in Men close to home or those who will travel.

I'm not into just chatting on the internet.
