Re: Anyone try online dating sites?
They do under the necessary settings. If they own a business, they understand email is a means to reaching the outside world and communicating with customers.
Not sure how open many are to the idea of using computers to find a date. But if there's a site for it, I'm going to assume there is a market."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Re: Anyone try online dating sites?
I drop a message then sign off. I get notified by my phone or by email if they respond, plus, I don't want to be that guy who replies right after they reply back. It seems like I was waiting for them message me, and that comes off as creepy.Comment

Re: Anyone try online dating sites?
I do whatever I was going to do before messaging. If I had planned on signing off, I sign off. If I had planned on staying on the site a while longer, I stay on the site a while longer.
If I stay on the site and a girl messages me back right away, I've got no problem replying back right away.Comment

Re: Anyone try online dating sites?
I wait as long as the other person waits. If they are about 30 minutes before replies so am I. If they are firing them back real fast I will extend it to 5-10.Comment

Re: Anyone try online dating sites?
This is the first girl I've messaged on any of these sites, so I've got no idea on how to approach this, so lots of questions popping up over here.
So, Thursday night I messaged her, and we exchanged a few messages and within 45 minutes I had her number. We've texted a little bit every day.
How long do you typically wait to ask a girl out? I've heard after 3-4 days of constant communication is a good time.

Whenever it feels natural in the course of conversation. There is no pre-ordained time period, that's a myth cultivated by movies. And if it doesn't go how you want it to just remember, .300 is still good enough for the hall of fame.This is the first girl I've messaged on any of these sites, so I've got no idea on how to approach this, so lots of questions popping up over here.

No girl you want to go on a date with will tell her friends something to the effect of:
"He had my number within 45 minutes of the conversation and asked me out the next day. Omg. Stalker much?"
No. If she gave you her number, she's waiting for the next step which is the date. Set it up.

Re: Anyone try online dating sites?
What ubernoob said. There are no actual unwritten rules and protocol for that. You can fit asking her on a date into just about any conversation organically. I will say you should avoid being vague when you do it, if you've talked to her enough to know what kind of dates/activities she might like, propose something specific. Do it.Comment

Also, dinner&movie sucks as a first true date. In high school when you knew each other is fine, but you don't get to talk at all during a movie. Save that ish for later.

That was exactly what I suggested. The biggest reason was because that's what she had listed on her profile for the ideal first date part.

Re: Anyone try online dating sites?
Need your opinion/help here guys. So I've been talking to this girl for almost 3 months now, and we are dating exclusively or whatever and she keeps bugging me about when I'm going to ask her out. Around New Year's I let her know that it bugged me that she still got on dating sites all the time (she is always on her phone and that little POF icon was always up). She told me it wasn't a big deal, so I asked like a boss and said prove it. She would beat around the bush, but later in the night she said fine here. She showed me the messages, mostly just the usual lame messages guys sent her. Problem was, when I got there that day I noticed two new message icons on her phone. When she showed me the messages the newest one was from a few days before, so obviously when she went to the "bathroom" she was deleting messages. So quick on my feet I asked to see the Sent Messages. She flips out and absolutely refuses. Obviously she was hiding something, but she deleted it a couple days later so I'll never know what.
Now I really like this girl, but I think you guys agree with me that if you've been seeing someone that long it's annoying especially when I drive an hour and a half round trip only to see her on a dating site the second I leave. Now the problem is, she's still getting on OKCupid all the time. Should I call her out on this? If so, how should I do it?
I just don't want to waste my time/money on a relationship if it isn't going to work. The only reason we aren't actually a couple is because the whole dating site thing makes me feel like she isn't committed to me.Fan of....

), I have to wonder how this site actually "works", since the folks it meant to couple up aren't really supposed to be using electricity / computers / internet / etc...
