In all honesty I would like to meet someone; but I recognize that I'm not really a guy who is interested in normal conventional things; and that would require me to find a woman of the like mindset which can prove rather challenging.

So I suppose I just continue on living my life hehe.

Wow! I thought it was just me but everyone else sounds just like I do! The bar scene is fun for just a little while but I'm 28 and not really looking for a string of one night stands! I was one of those people that started a profile and didn't want to pay to talk to matches but I finally decided that I had to do something! Hopefully I will meet someone that I can at least go have a good time with and if nothing else will become a good friend! And maybe I will meet Mr. Right!!

I moved to a new city where I didn't know a soul! Out of the many cities I have sorority sisters and friends, this was not one of them. While I have started participating in church activities and stuff, it's not the easiest thing to meet people. So many of the people I meet already have a girlfriend, so I thought I'd try it and see what it was like. It's not my ideal way to meet someone, but I'm not big in the bar scene.

I have been on eH for about a year and a half. I thought it would be a good idea, since i am 28, and pretty much know what finding a dude at a bar or club means...a.k.a. hes most likely lookin for booty. ANYWAY, and i am also in the Navy...stationed in Hawaii. Now i would prefer not to date military men....not saying i wouldnt but i prefer not to...reason being, well in the 10 years i have been in the Navy, i have learned *all* about how majority of men in the military work in terms of love and relationships: cheating on spouses on deployments (not all mind you, but MOST) and others cheating on girlfriends. And its not just the Navy either. Its Marines, Army and Airforce too. AND on top of that i have found that many guys here (in Hawaii) arent looking for a committed relationship. They are on a TROPICAL ISLAND...that means partyin, beaches with half naked women, and the constant flow of female tourists from around the world looking for an amazing hawaiian vacation....aka...horny women looking for excitement and memories for their vacation...

So i figured...i am looking for a single, relationship oriented guy, or someone looking for a relationship...HMMM eH! and p.s. and by the way, i had a friend who married someone she met thru an online dating site. (not eH)
And well i have had one bad situation after the next....they are funny now, but werent at the time...lol.
i may just write a book after i do find mr. right-for-me....it will defintely make the reader laugh. all my married friends laugh at my stories (they are laughing with me tho)
I have to say...its hard to find what i am looking for here. (on eH) I am tired of the whole dating scene, but i am not willing to settle....i dont mind being single, but i dont want it to be a permanent situation either. I love who i have become by being single...but i really would like to find that someone so we can go travel and do stuff together for awhile and then have some babies.....lol....and then do more stuff as a family...i dunno i feel as if i am rambling now...its nearly 2 a.m. (i had to go into work unexpectedly...i am on duty...and just got home...otherwise id pry be sleepin right now...)

I'll echo a lot of the thoughts on here earlier. I was tired of the bar scene and abhor clubs. A friend suggested it and I bit. He eventually found his wife online (not eH), so I had some hope. Now more than 2 years later, I've met some interesting women on here, but more than I care to talk about that realized after going out a few times that they're not really ready for a committed relationship and were only looking for quick fun. I'm still here, trying to meet the right woman. Some friends don't understand, but it makes no difference to me :-p

it is hard to meet someone genuine at a club or bar so i think this is just an easier way to meet people that might be a match to you who knows it happens when it happens i guess

I attend an all women’s college. I love the intimacy of this campus community; it’s like a sorority (but in the good way; a sisterhood). But now that I no longer have a long term bf and I’m ready to start dating again, I’m finding that I’d have to either start dating more women or venture off campus to meet men.

I don’t hang out at bars (unless you count the Ballet Barr ), I’ve never been clubbing, and work & school keep me busy.

Basically, I needed a more efficient way to meet people since I’m too busy to get involved in the kinds of off campus activities and classes where I might meet and get to know someone nice. There are no unmarried straight men where I work, live, or go to school.

I just moved to LA. I have always had bad luck with guys and well... LA isn't that much better. I tried Ok but found most just wanted quick hook ups. I just join EH and am not sure about it. I have a few friends who have had it work out.
Why is it so hard to find a guy who wants to get to know you and not just hook up?

Ok, so here is my story. I will just put it out there. I am 24 years old and I live in Cleveland, Oh. I have been in a relationship with what was my fiancee for 5 years. It has been bad for about a year, arguing about everything and not having any fun together so we decided to call it quits before we hate each other. It's been about 3 weeks now and I am starting to feel better and ready to at least try and talk to some people and see what happens. I am not expecting anything much at the moment other than some friendly 2 sided conversation of substance. This is brand new to me so if I seem a tad skeptical it's because I probably am. I am looking for a nice woman who is at least my age or even a little older would be great who is interested in talking with a nice guy about anything that comes up.

You are not alone! I, too, am receiving the same kind of feedback. I don't know if maybe I am too picky, maybe even shallow, but you know, I figure I have the right to choose who I am attracted to and who I am not, ya know? This is only my 3rd day of my subscription and I am already having my doubts. I have sent out my first set of questions to numerous matches and have yet to get any sort of response from any of them...maybe patience is the key...i don't know
