| The reason for having this website is getting a friend a date rite?how do u register here and 4 months along the line u haven't gotten a date or a friend atleast,some of us are not looking for a date here they just wanna know how many people are gonna show an interest in them,and better yet some of us have already gotten wat we want and wats the reason of still having a profile here,y don't u live people who are really searching to find their other half,just saying. |

Luck sometimes favours the brave and daring. Check out people in your area or a bit wider and simply contact them. Remember a profile is what the person thinks or believes they are. What they want is some form of idealised perfect match which is probably not what they really want.
That is the problem of approaching dating or love with a shopping list and wants nobody has a ladder high enough to reach. If you want somebody to love that bad boy or party animal is not the one. |

I think the problem is with the guys...., most of the guys are doing this just for fun..., I registered in this site on the beginning of june, by the middle of june I got a date, his a nice guy & we have been seeing each other since then but the reason why I haven't deleted my profile its because he is not faithfully & I believe he only registered in this site coz he was bored or something.... 40% members are really looking for their half, someone who will be there for them & 60% members here its just boredom.
If I don't get my other half in a year..., I pull the plug |

You can count me in the 40% 
Is this that different to your friends fixing up date or a chance meeting at some function? Online dating because it is not direct at least give the girls a chance to make the first move. Get over that fear of rejection you have probably dished out to so many guys. If they can do this over and over again so can you. If something is worth having there is no shame in trying. There are only two answers yes or no. In either case it is better than not knowing. |

I agree it is better to know if someone is interested or not and it is very frustrating when you write to someone and they don't bother to reply.
Peterm are you sure you are in the 40%  |
Yes as sure as I can possibly be. I am some what distracted at the moment as my daughter is out from Ireland and we are going to scatter my wife's ashes today. I did check yesterday and today if there was any outstanding mail and did not find any. I did respond to you. If I missed I am terribly sorry. I'll check again. It will be on my laptop and I gotta go now. |

I may be alone here but I am trying out this online dating thing because I am socially awkward.
I am extremely shy when I first meet a person and this platforms gives me (and people like me) a chance to interact and engage with people we may be interested in, in a mediated, unobtrusive way.
I wouldn't say that it is out of boredom at all. I think if anything this is testament to how desperately the human species is crying out for companionship.
But that's my opinion |

And I second that. Well said. Unfortunately there are vampires and ghouls out there |

I know how you feel and I had the same problem. Probably a fear of rejection in my case. All I did was every time I go out in public I force myself to start 5 conversation. All I need is some pertinent response. Simply thing and no cheesy or cliché stuff like nice day.
Something like Wow the price of cheese is ridiculous. That's a nice combination of colours, Do you have any idea what this is...... Try it and soon you will become used to just talking to people and lose the fear. |

Thank you for your kind words. I always wonder what girls do when they see this really nice guy they would love to meet.... I practice in the supermarket... Just about anything will do and I suppose I've lost my shoes have you seen them is as good as anything.
Enjoy your weekend and have some fun. |

| actualy on every chating platform, there are more than one characters, some are serious and some are not, unfortunately, those who are not serious are the lucky ones to get replies and partners in their inboxes......some like me, are stranded for love, but none have came along....is it being unlucky or something else....????? The one who will b the first to come in my way will definately tell other gals what they mised..... |
