Little did I know, my future husband lived less than a mile away from me, we married in 07 on my birthday and that was the nicest gift ever! Hang in there, you will find your true mate...

What a perfect example of "Happily Ever After". Awwwww.....
That's enough to inspire anyone to maintain the faith that EVERY single one of us has someone who awaits them.

I've been trying my luck at internet dating the past few months with not much luck. I'm just an average looking man with issues.
I have gotten alot of views of my profile from women and some
of them are very attractive. I don't bother to reply to them
because my confidence and self-esteem are low , which doesn't
help matters. I just feel as though it's a big waste of time and
effort to try and hook up with any of these women because
once they find out about my issues , I believe it's goodbye ,
nice knowing ya.
Did you ever notice the handsome men and beautiful women
are on the favorites lists in big numbers compared to the
average looking person or the ones who's pictures are dark.
What does that tell you ? Don't need a PHD for that one.
Should I throw in the towel , or continue to torture myself
with something that will probably never happen.

YOU CHOOSE .....

Guy #1 .... appears on 6 favorite lists

Guy #2... appears on 112 favorite lists
If their personalities were equal and they shared many of my same interests, I would still prefer to date #2 (the good looking guy) over guy #1 (aka.. Mr. Pudge).

I guess I'd just rather be seen with a Ferrari rather than a Ford station wagon, lol.

Yes, the Ferrari would have higher maintenance costs but if I am willing (and able) to afford it, why not?

Good luck to you with the online dating... I think the big thing is.. is to stay positive. If you act too sad and down about your life that will scare people off in a very big way.

After all.. what's that saying??

"Laugh and the world laughs with you.... Cry... and you cry alone."

???

With that in mind... I don't think I would tell too much about your problems until you really know for sure that you can trust them and that they truly care about you.

But early on in the relationship, I would just be quiet and play it cool and be upbeat about yourself and your life.

Fake it 'til you make it... that sort of thing.

thank you! i had to be alone for a while to be happy with myself, my spirit was so broken by my ex for so long, once i regained me, i was ready to meet someone, online was alot of fun, but there are jerks out there too. you have to be happy with yourself before you can be happy with anyone else. My new husband felt the same way when we met, he wasnt into games and just wanted to enjoy life with someone who cared about him, we are both very lucky! No, i dont have any photos posted yet, still trying to get used to this site! have a great day!!
Thanks for this!
