Yeah, I'd be OK with it. Probably suck at it, though.Quote:

Some of these great profiles is fake and you never get response. Like for example bisexual girls.
Have you read The Handmaid's Tale? Great dystopian novel that is geared towards/written by a woman.Quote:

I haven't......
That's something you could work in there, as a question then... I'll bet she's read it:
"I've had The Handmaid's Tale recommended to me as a good read. Did you read it, would you recommend it?"
Or something like that.
This is what I've conjured up so far:
"I was looking over your profile and noticed a few mutual interests.
For one thing, I also love to hike. Know of any cool, scenic spots I totally need to check out?
Also, you enjoy dystopian novels, too. Which is your favorite? "
Don't know if I should start with a "Hi" or "Hey!" or whatnot..
Lol, well, not so sure about that one...Real bi's are probably pretty inclined towards using dating sites. Easier than trying to recognize their kin in public.Quote:

Would be pretty wierd to date one - she can cheat on you with both genders.
Now once I get this message sent, I could do my homework...not until then, though.
OK, edited it:
"Hi! =)

-(name)"
Not bad, not bad at all. Start with Hi, Hey is a bit too familiar.Quote:

OK, I'll send it after one last thing:
"Hi! =)" any good? Or just a plain old "Hi"?
Hi ! c(: Leave something original
It's done. Just edited it and sent. Here's hoping..
Good luck buddy!Quote:

Like the immortal Tom Petty wrote: "The waiting is the haaaaaaardest paaart"...
Well, I think I got ignored again... :( If only I hadn't deleted "The Line"...Damn. That thing could get a girl for any schmuck or uggo.
Same reasons as before, or just because it's been a little while?
Keep slugging. Remember that old Chumbawamba song?
Same exact reason.
Looks like I actually got a response! Not as enthused now..
Copy and paste it!
Cool beans. Patience, Grasshopper.
Not as enthused? Why?Quote:

I don't even want to visit that site right now, didn't read the entire thing. I want to wait until she's likely going to be offline and then read it.
So she actually wrote more than "Not interested, bye."? What does her still being online have to do with you reading it?
I just don't want to appear like all I do is sit and refresh waiting for it. With a girl, gotta space replies, y'know..
Oh jesus... she can't tell what you're doing on the site. Just read it.
Answer it in half an hour if you don't want to appear too eager... but for the luvagod, don't play stupid games... you're in competition on a dating site. Get there before someone else does.
How many messages before dropping the "let's meet up" bomb?
A couple or three if they seem favorable... then suggest something neutral and public.
Ok...
So I was thinking of saving anything relating to her aspiration to be an actress until some later meetup (if that happens). In the meantime, I'm not sure how to guide the second and third. I think I can do it without ghostwriting, but I'm overanalyzing here...Text is so much more frightening than face to face.
You're really overthinking the whole first message. The girls are just on there doing the same thing as you, looking for people they have something in common with. All you need to do is point out the things that caught your interest and the things you have in common. After that, throw in a question or two so she has something to respond to and you're good.
Editing so I don't double post: If you do much better face to face, why not just try to imagine that the things being said in the text were said in a face-to-face context? Then you can just text whatever you would have said face to face. Good luck.
Actually, I already sent a first message. Now the problem is being redundant, i.e. fixated on the same topic(s). I realize it's important to ask her questions; at the same time, I wanna be fresh.
Now I've got an idea but not sure how to phrase it: I asked her for a suggestion as far as trails for hiking go. She suggested one, which from looking it up is pretty cool. I want to somehow ask about what made it the best hike she's been on so far (her words) but text just leads to so much self-doubt....IRL, I'd just ask it without too much thought and if it sounded dumb would recover easily, I'm sure..
Why don't you just tell her you looked it up and you're thinking about doing the trail yourself now and then ask her what made it more memorable for her then the others. If she comes back again, then maybe ask her if she would like to get a coffee and discuss it in person, that if you hit it off, maybe you could do the trail together?
OK, I did my best and borrowed a bit from Wakeup...
That's all you can ever do, mang... just don't forget to get up and keep swinging if you get knocked down.
I went for days w/o answering dating emails sometimes. Older and busy, I suppose, but the fact remains you never know why someone doesn't answer. Maybe her dog is sick; works is busy; on a trip; her best friend having a breakdown... you don't know. So stop taking it so personally.
Try and try again, LR.
So? What's the news?
No response to this point....
Ya ever finally see that a beautiful chick that doesn't seem unreasonably demanding or conceited lives in your small town? then get to thinking "Aww, what's the point of trying? There are a hundred guys probably on this dating site in this small town alone; she could pick someone way, way better"?
