I need advice on what to do next regarding a female.
- Thread starter Aldo
- Start date
I don't think Trekker is my type.
Dang, the quote doesn't help...
*smacks Mutenroshi's hand*
I met my girlfriend on a dating site. Here's what I did...
She sent me one of those "I'd like to get to know you" requests on the site. It was a free site, so before you could talk at all, one person had to send such a request and the other person had to accept it. Then you could use the messenger program built into the website and chat.
After chatting like that for a while, we exchanged phone numbers, and spoke on the phone for a bit. She was actually away on a trip at the time. If she'd been close, we might have gone to the next stage a bit sooner.
After chatting on the phone, we decided to meet up. We met in a public place. We got on well, and met up a few times after that before we decided to start dating.
And now, a year and a half later (or so), we're still at it.
Having tried many dating sites I can knock it, but when you living in an area like the one I do the pool is pretty slim pickin's.
While it's easy to scoff at Trekker and show him population statistics, I know where he's coming from.
Yes, guys like us have been single for a long time, and yes we also occasionally whine about it on here. But even so, I'm sure Trekker has a pretty good idea of what he's looking for in a women, and if the people he's met so far hasn't been doing it for him, well then who are we to tell him he's wrong?

No. My point is saying that there are slim pickings in a metro area home to 2 million people. There are most likey several hundred women he hasn't met at the least.
You mentioned having a good idea of what woman he wants. I had no idea. I most definitely didn't think of someone like my wife. She just mooned me and flashed me......

I've done plenty of on-line dating services and very often I get few hits and matches in the area that fit the criteria I enter.
It's not the online dating sites and services that are the problem or issue. It's some of the extra-chromosome wingnuts that are ON them. That said, dating of any kind whether arranged through the Internet or face-to-face can be challenging and stressful. But no relationship worth having is ever easy, nor should it be.
Fair enough, when the right women comes along it's like magic. But until that happens, I'm sure Trekker has some idea of what kind of person he would be happy with: looks, personality, etc.
My friend met his match on eharmony's spin off site and I just RSVP'd to their wedding. 
My other friend recently got engaged to a man she met on OKCupid. And yet another friend is married and has a son with someone she met through a dating site. Neither of those two were in highly populated cities. Sounds like it works to me!
