BS - i do the mass thing every now and then, but you can’t do it too often otherwise you’ll get overwhelmed and not be able to acutally date them. you can’t keep pushing the good ones back or they’ll lose interest.

“Stabbing a hottie” is not worth $750. Go to vegas if you’re into that sort of thing, and you’ll find it’s 1/10th the price. Honestly, it’s not that I’m tight on cash, I’m really not. I just find something really reprehensible about being expected to pay someone to hang out with you. Not that I don’t cover checks, but I don’t hang with people who expect you to throw down $$$ for them.
Geez, for $450, I got two. At the same time. And most of that was just to have a nice room.

This thread makes me think I should give this online dating a shot once I find a job and a city to call home for a little while. I haven’t really been seeing anybody in the last few months…just had too much going on, between school and studying for the exam. I feel like starting a conversation with a woman you want to date by saying “yeah, I’m unemployed and don’t really have a permanent place to live” is not a good conversation starter, so I’ll wait until I solve those two issues.

Dude, I’ve been there. It sucks, but you’ll land something man, I have faith in you. It’s crazy how your whole life kind of stops when you don’t have employment. And when you do, start using match.com like a fiend. Dude, it revolutionized my dating life. Went from too busy to meet girls so basically working and running in solitude to having 4 attractive girls texting me throughout the day in the course of like 4 days with no effort. Much happier now. Oh, and comparatively, eharmony sucks, stick to match.

What is the monthly rate for Match.com? I need a new site. Not good being on the same one for a few years.
sounds like I need to get on this. After not being in the game for years now, I need something to get me back on the horse, so hopefully this will help. But going to a date, with someone never bet before seems full on and scary! Its weird, couple of nights ago was at a big shindig, really nice girl there, kept looking at me, had talked to her a couple of times earlier but couldnt go in for the kill! I used to be able to do this when I was in a relationship and used to cheat, now Im struggling that Im single, odd.
Hmm, that is weird that you’d already had convos with her and couldn’t follow up. I think online dating is best for circumventing the pickup line. I just send a short form note I copy and paste (very lazy) and let my profile do the talking, let the chips fall where they may. I recommend match over nearly every other site. It dominates in terms of total subscribers, younger people. And match let’s you browse while eharmony only let’s you view the matches they provide (like 10 a day). And my eharmony matches have generally been a high ratio if cave trolls to hotties.
wow can’t believe it’s been a year since I posted this…a lot has happened in the past year, dating wise. Rather than go into detail I’ll just say I met someone online this past february and we have really become close. At this point I believe she is the one. I believe she feels the same. There is a “stickiness” between us that shows no sign of wearing off. who knows where we’ll go next? 
Thanks to bchadwick for helping out with my profile, my response rate had drastically improved w his help. And for the doubters/skeptics out there pls know online dating can really work, can really lead to a meaninful relationship. just don’t give up and DON’T seem desperate. (even though you may be)
movie is armageddon
OK, so on the other side of the coin, how should a girl’s profile look like. Should she also show she is funny, active, has good education and status?
Ok on the other side here. I find dating in NY very superficial. I can’t believe girls EXPECT guys to pay here. I mean, what’s the freaking difference with an escort at this point? I always attempt to pay at least my share or drinks or tip especially if I know I’m not going to see the guy again but stick it out till the end of the date. They usually never let me which makes me feel bad. I want to offer another drink in a bar later but I’d have to force myself if I don’t like the guy. What should I do? Online dating has been hit or miss for me. It’s fun but for some reason I get matched with hungry artists so they let me pay anyway since they think I make more money (which is true). But krazykanuck, you shouldn’t date a girl who’s so superficial that wouldn’t even consider you cos you’re unemployed and live with your parents. You’ll find something soon! And dating is also a way of networking. So you never know.

Well, I’m the girl. I’d like to pay, I actually enjoy paying. Guys don’t let me and I feel very awkward especially when I know that I will probably not want to see him again. But that’s a good point. I’ll take something cheaper next time just in case he won’t let me pay.
