well, i have made a few accounts on a few of these dating websites but i never tried to message anyone because honestly i didnt think they would message back anyway...

but on this new site i just joined not long ago, trying to cheer myself on - cheer myself up - trick myself into thinking that i could meet a girl- and that kind of thing, i logged in earlier and was just looking around... answering some of the quiz questions they have to match you with people or whatever...

and this girls profile popped up, ordinarily i just shrug them off like "mm she's cute, i could see myself with someone like her" blablabla that nonsense stuff, but it was a little different this time...
when i saw her picture it just struck me in a weird way, she's a little different... i read her profile and compared our match / questions stuff and we have like so much in common it was crazy, i started feeling super attracted to her because of the way she had answered those questions... the website says that we are 89% match, which i guess we have agreed on 89% of the questions...

but anyway, i digress...

so i have never messaged anyone on these websites before, but after seeing all that i had to TRY atleast to message her... so i wrote out a good message, lengthy but tried not to write too long so i didnt scare her off... but lnog enough to try to prove that im not just trying to get nude pictures or hook up for 1 night stand...

now im just nervous as to what she's going to think about what i wrote, or if she is going to reply...
i've never really attempted to contact anyone on a dating site... and im a little shy and dealing with depression and stuff which im trying to keep at bay so that doesn't hurt any chances of her getting to know the real me (not the depression) and maybe her being attracted to me in some form or way, she seems like a cool person so even if there is no relationship involved i would like to be friends with her, i dont meet anyone that is interested in the stuff that i am ever

im so attracted to her personality i just wanna squeeze her!!
she's also phsyically attractive but she dresses different and does makeup and stuff different so she stands out a little... which i can see some people not really liking... but it just really struck me

have any of you used any of these dating websites and actually talked to anyone on them?
how often do people respond to messages? she seems to be looking for a genuine people / friends / partner...
i would really like to talk to her!
she could be my nerd and i could be her dork!
thinking about it makes my heart smile

im just wondering how i can improve my chances of talking with her, im not good at relationship stuff or introductions or getting to know people or any of that really - im super quiet and reserved introverted type of guy; but im really interested in getting in a serious relationship so i can have a best friend that i can count on and stuff

maybe this could be us
