I'm getting nowhere on OKCupid either, thinking I might axe it too shortly!
Just leave your profile up and carry on with your life as normal, no point taking it down really as you never know if someone new will join and message you.
I firmly believe online dating is a supplement to normal ways of meeting people and not a replacement so there is no reason to shut down your profile unless you start seeing someone.
It's like the lotto, you have to be in it to win it!0 -

Don't take it so seriously. Leave it there and go back to it every now and again. Online dating shouldn't necessarily replace "real life" socialising but should be used as an alternative and not a replacement.
Yeah it can suck not getting replies after many messages but just brush it off your shoulders and carry on. No use getting hung up on it.0 -

Connecting singles just creeps the hell outta me. I am receiving nothing but creepy messages. This is the most recent -
'your my shining star i hope u always r even during the day the light u shine doesent fade your my ever lasting guiding light with u ill never loss my way as long as u shine on my heart this love will never go away and every night ill dream of holding u everyday. do u like it ill write u some if u want ive told girls this before but seeing u make the word meaningless u r the most amazing looking women ive ever seen ur beauty is something i could only dream about till now why r u on here finding guys'
Clearly he hasn't read my profile, since I'm looking for friends, not men. Silly person.
I always read about people having success and making new friends and getting nice dates out of these sites, but I just seem to attract creepy men! 0 -

Seriously folks Im really considering joining a convent!! :rolleyes:
Now that would make me consider religion - hope you'd keep your Habits cleanDolly Daydreams wrote: »You're definitely right there Ammsy, the longer it goes on, the more your (and their) imagination runs away with us..
I agree but I sometimes wonder if people could be building a real bond that then gets broken by appearance etc. Many oldies started their relationships via a series of letters.I honestly think it's more difficult than real life.
Only because we make it more difficult - we talk in real life not email or text.Very strange (and annoying). I can imagine someone attached setting up a profile as an ego boost (and suddenly closing it if the partner got wind), but they would hardly put up photos!
Who says it's their photo ?I'd consider that less "balls of steel" and more "complete moron" tbh!
We have to develop Balls of Steel to cope with the kick in the nuts rejection

So pick up the phone & talk

Has anyone every told you this ? If you insist on phone before you meet you avoid a lot of grief.Dolly Daydreams wrote: »Yes, you're right, we got a bit 'fruity' though so maybe I made myself my own worst enemy and turning it sexual

(I'm pretty certain he hasn't dated anyone since)
I would be wary of the "let's stay friends" situation. One person can end up still wanting a relationship & it can easily lead to false hopes. You want a guy to really want you & not after months of persuasion.Clearly he hasn't read my profile, since I'm looking for friends, not men. Silly person.
Yes but by his warped logic you are female so you don't say what you mean

You want a guy to really want you & not after months of persuasion.At this point he might well be quite scared of commitment and getting into a relationship. He likely feels as though you have it all figured since you have kids etc.
Of course you can't drag him into a relationship kicking and screaming, you deserve someone that wants to be with you and is willing to work through their issues to do so. I'd suggest telling him what you've said here (if you haven't already) which is that you like him, you're interested in being in a relationship with him but you're not going to make any more moves at this point so it's upto him.Well I don't think so, I think he gave you the reason. I'd leave him be. He's probably too nice to tell you to feck off. :cool:My guess is that he's just being polite but is no longer interested for whatever reason, sorry. At least he ended properly rather than letting it drag on or by cheating on you or something.
It's possible he was unsure about how he felt about things but liked you and wanted to give it a chance to see where it went, but then realised it wasn't working, at least for him.
It's a shame when things don't work out with someone you like, but then again, you weren't together years or anything so I wouldn't spend too much time analysing and analysing things. I think you're just going to have to let it go and move on.
Thanks for the replies, I agree with what you all said but I was just hoping that maybe there was something more in it that I wasn't seeing!
I'm going to put him to the back of my mind, I won't make contact unless he initiates it. If he wants me he's going to have to grow a pair and come and get me! He knows how I feel at this stage. Thanks again :pac:0 -
