After all, is that not what we're all looking for? Know your audience."<br /><br />I totally love this observation. You could run an online dating advert school on this line alone. This is EXACTLY the point - if we were all gloriously happy with ourselves we wouldn't be looking for anything/anyone else.<br /><br />I've always been the slightly less than happy girl! The 'happy ones' always make me suspicious! :p<br /><br />xKatyhttp://neuroticnotes.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237253267720947217.post-44940766434298074052011-02-20T12:12:20.066+00:002011-02-20T12:12:20.066+00:00Thank you, that is good to know!

I am just really put off contacting anyone first (which is scary enough already) because simply by reading their profile I am already feeling rejected. I suppose <br /><br />I am guilty of it too though - I've had a few messages through which I won't even pay the subscription to read because the dealbreaker for me is height - being 5'10 means I need someone tall! <br /><br />I think because it's all online and we're actively searching for someone we are being too specific with what we want... hopefully I will find someone who just wants to give people a try like I do... fingers crossed!spriglethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12287780650683845706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237253267720947217.post-33116937073945637322011-02-20T11:58:58.020+00:002011-02-20T11:58:58.020+00:00Your first paragraph is bang on.
Incidentally, I ...Your first paragraph is bang on.<br /><br />Incidentally, I met MrLippie online, and, on paper he was entirely wrong for me, not tall enough, lived in the wrong city, too sporty, didn't resemble Hugh Jackman ... etc. I'd seen his profile on the website and dismissed him out of hand. He looked nice enough, but ... meh.<br /><br />But when he got in touch, his emails were funny and personable (so difficult to get that balance, sometimes) and we seemed to have the same sense of humour, so I agreed to meet him.<br /><br />Our first date was ... ok. I left thinking that he was nice, but I wasn't sure "the spark" was there, but the date was good enough that I agreed to meet him again.<br /><br />We've been together ever since - and this is our fifth year together. It's not always perfect, mind, but we rub along nicely enough. Most of the time!<br /><br />I guess I mean that even unpromising starts can be the beginning of something lovely, and, as long as the guy doesn't actively turn your stomach (either online or in the flesh) it's always worth keeping on keeping on.<br /><br />One thing I discovered in my year of internet dating was that when it's wrong you know (generally) within about 30 seconds of meeting. However, when it's right, you might need a little longer to figure it out.<br /><br />Not sure any of this will help, but good luck!<br />LxGet Lippiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16426982226471177975noreply@blogger.com
