My divorced friend was in town last night at he has been online dating for 6 years. He said he has never had any luck with bumble and has the best luck with zooske. He is currently dating 2 women who he showed me pics of who are very attractive and he is not at all. He's 6 ft 250 and has a combover. No lie.
He said he has dated over 150 women.
I think it takes time to figure out the ins and outs.
Just out of curiosity what famous person do you look like?
I completely shave my head and have been told I look like a taller pitbull Lol!
I will have to try it out, I have got way more action match so if this doesn't work I will try it out. I just did celebs like me and I was a 46% match to Chris noth, mr. Big from sex in the city. I don't have a comb over
ok.....well I got my first match on match. Read through her bio and it seemed like we have a lot in common, similar interests, background, and she has a 12 year old daughter.
So.....after we matched, I shot her a note, told her I enjoyed reading her bio and that we have a lot in common. I asked her if she wanted to meet up for some coffee or grab a drink to shoot me a note back.
And she just shot me a note back...said she loved my pics and bio, she has a 12 yr old girl and it is a fun age and she would love to get to know me. No mention of meeting for coffee or a drink.
I can imagine why women would want to go slower on these sites, just for safety concerns. That said, if you start exchanging regular emails and she still wont meet after a couple of weeks, I would be very wary. Dont let it drag on too long just as pen pals.

Right, I agree. Since she did not bring up meeting each other I didn't mention it in my reply. I just told her the ages of my daughters, their names, what they are into and then asked her to tell me about her daughter and the country town she is from.
I was talking to a close male friend last night, the one I set up on Bumble and POF for his first swing at online dating. He is trying to understand the etiquette because he is trying to get to know these women, the second he mentions a date they ghost him. I explained that sometimes these women really just want text buddies to boost their self esteem (men are guilty of this too) .
You just gotta learn how to move on and not take it personally.
I have a date on Friday with a good looking single dad. We shall see if it actually happens. He even wants to take me somewhere pretty nice.
But if it doesn't happen, I'll be on my couch, watching Netflix and drinking wine after kickboxing. Either way, I guess it's a win-win
I like this update a lot. nice nice. now get to schedule a meet soon and suss this out. go have some fun. get a coffee/drink. go for a walk. tell her you.
One thing that really helped me out with the online dating was to be honest and direct. When they ask what I am looking for in the site, I usually tell them I am looking for a relationship or some Intimacy. I make it clear that I am not looking for a platonic friendship. This helps weed out the ones who just want to text and flirt but never want to meet. As for setting up a meet I usually ask them what their schedule is like and tell them i am open on tuesday at 7 or thursday at 8. Also I ask them if we were to meet what do they like to do for fun. They usually respond with that works or its not good and they suggest another day. If i dont get a response about the meet, but a response on the activities they like I usually give them a another couple of days and then try to setup another date. If they dont respond to this then I just kind of forget about them, because they are usually not interested enough.
Anyways that is my two cents.
