I joined Okcupid few times and never had luck (I did go out with 2 girls i did not find attractive but only messaged them back out of MANNERS and just to go out and talk with which I believe they knew anyways, we still had a good time and just ended it)

Recently a girl I did like responded to me and we were chatting back and forth about weather, she told me where she lives near, her name, likes jogging, where shes from when she got into state and few others..then she just stopped replying to me.

Why would she still log in and just ignore me? I guess the important question here is, why do I feel like this, needing attention, unable to move forward, some may call it insecurity but i'm just being HONEST, i may have typed a bit too much to her but I just type whats on my mind.

I'm ****ing depressed and ready to just give up on it. Maybe some other realistic stories will cheer me up or some advice.

Maybe someone wants to look at my OKcupid profile and assess?

I tried online dating sites, and it is really hard meeting people. I lost track of how many people I chatted with once or twice only to have things fizzle out before they started...

But I did end up meeting my husband that way...so keep trying. Maybe you will find someone.

That's just how people are on dating sites. You need to develop a thick skin. Twice recently women have messaged 'oh I love your profile'. So I send a message back telling them what I've been doing and asking them what they are up to. 1, just got a terse one line answer 2, slightly more chatty but then she threw in the s##t word, which kinda put me off. We all swear occasionally but not if you are trying to create a good impression, stick with it though. you never know.
Thanks for this!

Yup, I'll do that.

There are lots of disappointments with Internet dating, you do need a thick skin. I have sat and cried over people who I have never even met many times.
I reckon you have to meet maybe 15 people before you 'might' click. Fun at first but it gets boring after in time.
Perseverance is needed.
That said, most of my friends have met their partners on line.

PM me your OK cupid name and I'll give you my opinion. If you're unsure about giving your name out I'll give you mine and you can do the same for me.

Sure thing, I appreciate it. I barely got like 2 visitors in the 2 weeks I've been on which seems very weird. The name is GXSR15

I looked at your profile. I dont know what ENR is? Also, i feel like you are holding back on something, hiding something about yourself. If you would tell what it is, i think you would find more people would choose you especially because of it. P.s. You certainly are nice looking!!.
Thanks for this!

What I'm hiding I can say is that I am an introvert, not much experience dating? I do smoke marijuana, legally and moderately being responsible nothing I'm very proud of. I'm trying to think of anything else. People usually say I'm tense and serious, maybe a bit..working on it.

I think what you're getting at is that maybe my bio seems a bit fake and thought up? It definitely is organized in a dull manner and I do not seem humorous and fun in it but the facts are true.

Maybe I can add something in what I want in a woman and then some traits and attributes I have. That would definitely be important..just not too picky. I'll continue to think about it and myself. Thank you

Wow, I found out this person is married and just came with her husband from NY to here!!!
I HAD NO idea she wasn't single, this is sickening!!!!

over that she actually replied to me after days of ignoring (yes after confirmed she would get back to me) telling me if I ever came to her work she'd have me arrested (simply because I added her to Linkedin).

Sad sick human being I have dealt with. Wish me luck in moving on. I don't think I will tell the husband anything to not ruin anyone's life but then isn't she already doing that to him?

you must ask how I am sure? i wasn't snooping just doing what everyone does, i put her into google to add to a social tool so she can know my name, she who I am, be honest, etc. and basically saw her marriage video which was recent and a guy that works in the area came from NY with her who actually works in my FIELD!!! THIS iS SO MESSED UP
