Anyone try online dating sites?

Re: Anyone try online dating sites?

I had the same thing happen a few weeks ago. I even left so I could arrive 20 minutes early. I ended up being about 25 minutes late.

If that's exactly how the conversation went she isn't playing hard to get. She agreed to go out again when she said "sounds good". You should have suggested what to do when she said that. You don't do second text, but all you could muster up was "okay than"...

Yeah, I'd say she's waiting on you to actually set up the second date.

Not doing second or whatever texts applies to asking an actual question and not getting a response.

If you close out the conversation (which you should never ever do), a woman is not going to start up the new one. She will just assume you don't care and move on.

You should have been asked her how her day was or offer an option or two for the next date so you can keep her engaged.

I'm not sure what you were expecting was going to happen next.

Always make sure that when you're texting someone you're interested in, you give them something to respond to. Even if they ask you, "How are you?" you don't just reply, "I'm cool…" That's the fast track to wondering what happened and posting here. You tell them things are cool and either ask the same question in return or ask something else.

Keep them engaged.

I agree with the above two... women are terrible texters... If you want a conversation, you have to constantly keep it going yourself.

And don't be afraid to double text. The only times you shouldn't are for obvious stuff like dates or w/e... but if you're just in mid convo and she doesn't respond, she probably just forgot.

Double text is a no no.

Re: Anyone try online dating sites?

Double text is a no no.

I agree with this except I sometimes double text just to see what I'm dealing with in my future.

If I ask a question and get no response in a day, I'll follow up with a "how are you?" Then if there's no response, I delete the number. If there is a response and no mention of the earlier question, I jot that down in my head as a strike and see if they can recover (though most of the time, they just do it again and I delete the number).

There has been the very rare occasion I'll get a response followed by an apology for ignoring the previous question and I've found those to end up going somewhere, even if most are short lived.

But that's just my thought process of responses. I'm sure some have even less patience.

That I agree with and I can see. I will say though after a day or two if no response yeah just delete the number. It's 2014 those " I didn't get the text etc" **** doesn't fly anymore. When I think of double text I'm thinking of like texting her back to back in the same hour just because she didn't respond fast enough.

I've had days where I'm busier than I expected and will forget someone texted me. Usually I'll check the text and see the question requires some thought and I rather reply when I'm relaxed.

But after a series of texts from friends, I might forget that other friend sent a text. Women texts a lot to each other so I don't think it's out of the question to end up tenth down the line and out of sight.

Granted, I never forget to text someone I like. But early on in the process, sometimes you're still trying to prove they should like you.

But I do agree with you. Just saying it can happen.

Always check their Facebook. Unless they are demented and went that extra mile you won't get fooled.

Re: Anyone try online dating sites?

I hadn't came on here for awhile but I read the responses. I have a "24 hour rule". I'll wait 24 hours before I do a double text. But I always try to make the first message where it has to be response though.

Well after a week of hardly talking to her, I deleted her number thinking she wasn't interested anymore.

The next day she textes me out of the blue. She said been busy as of late (business graduate).

But she thought I wasn't "interested" in her because I talk to her more as a friend. So, I stated I am interested in her, and want to set up another meet. So hopefully in the next week we'll have dinner together. Maybe there is a chance lol

Re: Anyone try online dating sites?

Any of you guys been watching the Online Dating Rituals of the American Male from BravoTV? Is it really like that out there? Just wonder, I'm a married man - but I record that show just to see what all has changed (I've been with the same woman for almost 10 years, married for 2 of them).
