Glad you're going to stick with it. There will be some genuine ones out there, just got to work your way through to get to them! I've a few friends who've had success, but not before meeting a lot of ducks. Be safe, and enjoy!

I agree it probably is like a meat market. I haven't gotten involved in it enough to say from experience for sure but I liken it in my mind to a virtual bar or night club... same results, lots of lame ones, only a few good ones to find.
I leave ever finding anyone (not looking hard anyway) to chance. Going places to meet women is trying too hard, for me. But if I'm happily going along my life alone, and happen to be someplace where ms right is, it'll more likely work out. Besides, I'm all for meeting people in their natural environment, just doing their own thing -- that's the real person. not the profile on a site that is likely half fake and embellished, similar to the "face" people put on in a night club to look good -- best dressed and putting their act on.
As for the guy, I'd just communicate with him that if he wants to date you more, he needs to communicate with you. Setting up your "rules" early on is very important because it's harder to change the rules after you've been going a while down a certain road.
