How is your dating going?

Won't give any details b/c I'm afraid I'll jinx myself, but things are looking up a little. I might not be out of the sewer yet, but I think I can see the surface.

Ok, false alarm. Still in the sewer

*sigh* My sentiments exactly. Haven't been on many dates thru EH, did much better with two other sites, but I can sympathize with your prior statement, thinking a potential might be a good one, and then the false alarm.....

I'm new to EH but so far it looks a lot less promising than the advertisments.

Easily 70% of the "matches" that show up have no photos - and that is an immediate "close" for me. I posted clear, recent photos of me and expect the same consideration from others.

I've "sent questions" to three people and had one response. I responded by answering their questions and that's where it has stalled.

One that I "closed" (out of about 20) sent back a "good luck" note.

I "closed" about a dozen "matches" without responding because I have no idea how someone could have thought they were a good match for me.

I read elsewhere comments that indicate people can tell when a "match" is bogus or no longer active etc. I read some people referring to profiles as "poofs" and don't know what that means. ??????????
How does one learn all that info about the other people here?

Thanks All !

Actually, things are looking up a bit again. I think I was just having a rough day and was trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.

My dating scene is rather dark right now. I didn't have any luck with EH and any other dating site for that matter. I decided to take a break from the disappointment and rejection and sit on the bench for a minute.

My dating is going rather poorly. I keep meeting guys who have so many health problems that I believe they are going to die any minute. These are guys in their mid 40s to 50s. In fact one guy when I called him he answered his phone in the emergency room and said he was having a heart attack. I didn't hear from him for a few weeks so I assumed he had died. Then he calls me and tells me he had a corinary bypass and is recovering in a nurcing home. And this is just one example of many. I don't know why I attract these guys. I do have an idea.
