I seriously thought I was done with dating and meeting new people at my age. I thought I had found the one only to find out that we both had different plans and the relationship ended. So, I'm back on the market and IT SUUUUUCKS!
I've done online dating before and I had forgotten why I had stopped and had taken a break from it in the first place after going on several dates with some very interesting characters. I opened my account on a reputable dating site and the creepy messages from men twice my age started pouring in. What would I have in common with a man twice my age? NOTHING AT ALL!
I've found myself missing my life when I was in a relationship and being in love so desperately. But life must go on and I'm back at it again.
Here are some very interesting messages I've received so far:
One guy asked me: "So tell me a little bit about yourself. What makes you, you?" [Shut up, are you serious? Is this a job interview or what?]
Another guy told me: "Oh, I didn't really think you were actually going to reply to me." [LOL!! I didn't respond after getting that message.]
Believe it or not, I even got a message from an 18 year old: "Hey baby, let's meet!" [Gross!]
Anyways, I met a dating consultant at a blog convention earlier this month and I asked her, what do you tell your clients to do when they are using a dating website?
Her reply was simple: "Be yourself. And always update your profile with a different picture once every one to two weeks."
Moving on, I've decided to give it a try and to my surprise, I'm getting a lot of connections, and when I write to say hello, guys don't respond back.
Am I missing something here? If you know the answer, please let me know. Or provide helpful tips to try. Things sure have changed nowadays. I'm sure I'm not the only one in this situation.
As always, thanks for reading,
Mayra :)
