Oops. Well I signed up for some dating sites after feeling good enough to take a nice picture. I tried Tinder and OkCupid.

Tinder had more bots than I expected. After a week, I matched to two real women. One I didn't find very interesting and couldn't hold a conversation. The other I was surprised matched with me... she is a friend of a girl I've been interested in and rejected from. She didn't recognize me at first. We actually had a nice conversation until I just had to bring up that I thought it was odd that she liked me. I hinted why and then she stopped the conversation. That happened today.

OkCupid wasn't better. None of the women I tried to talk to or liked messaged me back.

I am so discouraged constantly when trying to put myself out there. I'm not interested in about 9/10 of any of the women around my age in my area, and those I do find interesting don't want to talk to me. It's just my luck that one that did want to talk disliked me after knowing my experience with one girl.

I am just really lonely for a relationship and want to get over my obsessive thoughts. I want to put my past behind me and enjoy a happy life. I don't know how to do that. I probably need to get the out of Georgia.

So sorry what ur going though iv been on the dating sites and all they want is sex theres no respect I just give ip now I only get lonely every few months I have my family I hope u find somone big hugs

I have never really had success in making love connection but have two girl friends....just friends from OkCupid....they both sought me out and both are short chubby type body....one is losing her hair and my profile says I am a hair guy that hair is the thing that turns my head....ugggh but we have become friends...very good friends....and for that I am happy I can count these two gals as friends....not loving that there is no loving going on in my life though....hugs bill

I join okcupid. I got a few messages and many vistors. I did not date them but it is better then other sites. I got no respond from other sites.

I have been on Dating Sites but no luck. I am lonely and also live in Georgia. I gotta get out more and Socialize. I will be praying for You. I don' t want to be Alone or Lonely either.

just think of those sites of the ones that end up badly...I know they don't all,but too many do end up badly so we need to get involved with things that interests you and you will meet others with the same interests

meetup.com is the answer....they have singles groups age appropriate there too....hugs

I've tried many dating sites, only to be disappointed. either I reject the person(s) or I get rejected. Sorry you are going through this too. I've found that dating sites are not the answer for loneliness . That's why I joined this site....to connect with others who are in the same boat.

Agreed that meetup.com is the answer. It's technically an activities group, not a dating group, but people meet, hit it off, hook up, fall in love and get married from there all the time. Plus, since it's an ACTIVITIES group, you're ACTIVE, don't have TIME to stew in obsessive thoughts.

Yeah I've never tried any dating sites. I don't think I'd really ever be able to trust anyone from there.

all of the girls ive ever been with have been from same school or dating sites

u just have to keep trying because although most of the girls s hi t dont stink there will be one who wants what u want

dont give up!

pof is free :P

Before there were dating sites, there were dating services. One of those was called 'Together'. I received a letter from them inviting me to explore their service. I was lonely and desperate, so I joined. Over the next year I met a few nice women, but nothing clicked. Then I met a Russian doctor and this felt different. Before we met, I asked a Russian woman at work to teach me some phrases so I could impress my date. Well, we only met twice, then it fizzled out. But later the woman at work told me a friend that she grew up with over there was coming to visit, and would I like to meet her and show her around town? Well, we met and really hit it off. She moved here on a fiancee visa and we were married. She was a hell of an actress when we dated. I never had a clue that I was in for a 15 year sentence in the GULAG. Married to a bullying, spiteful control freak!
So, if I hadn't opened that fateful envelope, who knows how much better my life could have been? So for those of you contemplating dating sites, beware what you ask for. You might just get it!
