[quote=@IceHeart] Online dating...tried it a few times but...basically it works like this. Make profile, get 0-2 messages from people, those you get are usually people you would not be interested in so nothing happens there. You decide to message people, 90% ignore you, 10% maybe send back a message. You finally find someone interesting and start messaging, then they either, miraculously find someone else to date or disappear all together. This is what will happen if you are truthful in your profile unless you are a winner in life, then you'll get a flood of messages from people thinking they have a chance to share in your good fortune. Unless you are willing for the site itself you match you up with people as a matchmaking service, you're just way better off meeting people in reality and maybe you'll connect with someone. Dating sites are one of the easiest ways to feel like nobody gives a [i]fig[/i] about you, avoid unless you are prepared for working really, really hard to find anyone who would even consider meeting you in real life. I did get a number once, but then they found someone else XD. [/quote] Yeah as harsh as this sounds, it's semi entertaining to watch my friends bungle around in those sites, lol. Honestly I just don't bother. Girls tend to be interested in me sometimes so I let that happen. I got work, cooking, cleaning, writing short stories, RPing on here, working out, restarting my art, and making a storyboard for a video game. If a girl is interested in me, let her say so and I'll see if I am interested back. I kinda gave up on 'taking initiative' myself awhile ago just from watching my friends, on or offline lol. But yes, I've been very exposed to that kind of stuff on dating sites bc of my pals. Plus it's online anyway, and most people have really short attention spans online. I don't see why it would be different on a site about dating, you know?
