[quote=Wonderwoman402;674134]In the past I had a lot of success on a site that was local, my city only. That site has merged and morphed so many times it really doesn't exist any more. Currently I am on match.com and have met many people from that site. I currently have two promising sounding guys I am communicating with from there, plus the guy from my high school reunion.

I have both initiated communication with guys and waited for them to initiate communication. I have found better results if the guy initiates. If I do, they tend to just let me take the lead on everything... but I want a guy who will be an equal partner and is not just along for the ride. On eHarmony I haven't had any better luck with the ones I've initiated vs. the ones the guy initiated... the net result is ZERO dates from that site.

On match.com I can let them know I'm interested by looking at their profile (and they can see I've looked), by marking them as a "Favorite," and so on. If the guy is also interested he will go ahead and e-mail me.[/quote]

That's the one feature I like about the other dating site. With eHA it's hit and miss. I had one match that wanted me to do all the initiating.... like 'I don't think so' ....

Probably I should not say this, but I feel that far and away, the very BEST potential dates and relationship material, and creme de la creme, exist RIGHT HERE on this site, and that is a VERY considered opinion.



I feel that a unremittingly positive happy outlook, perseverance and patience, self confidence and a basic belief in the essential goodness of others (and yourself!!) will lead to success in dating, online and otherwise.


Though I would NEVER go to bars searching for romance or a date though. It is not necessary and I dislike those venues generally.....
Although we rarely agree on anything, I have to agree with you on this, 6dle899. I've had a great pleasure of communicating with some amazing guys (and gals) on this site, some really phenomenal people.

If only I didn't live in another hemisphere now (duty calls), some of you guys (sorry gals, I'm fully hetero, but love my girlfriends too), might be in serious danger of the tidal affects of the Moon

eH is more of a marathon than a sprint. If you want instant gratification there are 1,500 other sites for meeting people.
