No Ladies Yet, But a New Hope....

Well after fifty messages and no positive responses I’m feeling a little beaten. However, that is going against my positive outlook on life and it’s not going to make me give up.

I was obviously having a bit of a confidence wobble, but after doing a bit of research it looks like (and fairly obvious when you come to think about it) there’s far more blokes out there than there are women and as soon as a decent profile is uploaded it can trigger a wave a contact to that lucky lady. Needless to say, the ladies can afford to be a bit more choosey, and they’re not choosing me.

As a result, there are three things I’ve got to improve - profile, profile and profile. Oh, and probably a better picture too (although I don’t think it’s that bad – still I shouldn’t be the judge of that either). You’ve got to tell the ladies what they want to hear – and still telling the truth too as I’m not a liar. Still, you can’t go setting out your stall too much otherwise there’s no point in them contacting you to find out more. I’ve just got to come up with some tastier bait. The only problem is now trying to come up with a much better profile. I think a bit more research is required on this delicate subject.

Also, thinking back, I guess I’ve just been very fortunate that I’ve had contact with three lovely ladies so early in this Internet dating lark. I suppose you can even class it as a minor success. But obviously, with more men out there, I didn’t sell myself hard enough or perhaps, being ever the gentleman, didn’t ask the lady out when I should have and another more confident suitor did.

Naturally, the competition is going to be tough so, to prove that I’m committed to finding someone, I’m determined to keep plugging away. I think I’ll even join another dating service and see if I get any better luck there – perhaps I could experiment with my profiles a bit more and see if it has the desired effect. The possibilities are endless. Watch out ladies, I’m back!
