Clementine orange Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I found out a few days ago that my on/again off again hot and cold g/f has a few other fellas floating around on the perimeter as well as me. So I'm baling. Beh!!!! I joined lavalife. No luck whatsoever. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. This is so frustrating. To the women who have had success with meeting men on-line, what made you actually return an email? Like what does it take. I've heard women complain that all they ever meet are creeps. But I'm not one...I swear. How can I prove that? god I feel like an idiot now Link to comment

Portage Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Well my female friend, who happens to be quite a catch, has done the internet dating and has commented that trying to set up a date takes much work and effort. A part-time job if you will. I hear, on the whole, internet dating is a game. Treat it as such. Link to comment
ghost69 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 it's hard because you probably haven't met another girl yet. once you do that, hook up, whatever, you will forget about her a lot easier. she will be less on the brain. Link to comment
Clementine orange Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 It's just so frustrating. I mean, I'm a normal person, educated, employed, sober. Why is this so difficult? I just seem to lurch from one bad relationship and heartbreak to the next. God I'm despondent Link to comment
Portage Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Give yourself a break...get off of the dating merry-go-round for now. Go on Hiatus. I think you are putting way tooo much pressure on yourself. Why? Link to comment
ghost69 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 hey i meet duds too man. everyone does. at least you don't meet duds and go years til you realize it isn't going to work out. some people do that. Link to comment
doyathink Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Understand, Clem, you're not the only one going through this. I read so many posts here that say the same thing. It's hard finding someone to connect with. Hell, it's hard to just find someone let alone one you find fulfilling. Link to comment
Portage Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 ^ Exactly, so cut yourself a break, and smell the flowers. Well put DYT Link to comment
lady00 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 You know, I read an article once that said "on-again, off-again is never really on." I think that rings true in most cases. Of course there are some people and I know a few who keep "breaking up" and "getting back together" but to me that is just nuts. If it's off-on, best to just assume it's off, forge ahead, and move on to something that is always on. Link to comment
Clementine orange Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 I know, I know, thanks you guys. I just feel so "played" by this woman. Why didn't I listen to my instinct!!!!! I'm such an idiot about women. Link to comment
lady00 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Why didn't I listen to my instinct!!!!! . Well, now you know. All the times I have ignored my instincts when it comes to dating men, I have regretted it. Human beings have amazing intuition and we can sense when something is wrong or just off somehow. Now you know to trust yours more. So you've gained something huge here. I doubt you're an idiot with women. Rather, you are human. Big difference. You live, grow, and learn from your experiences. So, take heart in the fact that you have an amazing opportunity to learn and grow from this. Link to comment

I'm such an idiot about women. We've all done it tho. We do it because we think that they are genuinely invested in us. We really want to believe in people, even when our heads are telling us otherwise. Link to comment
