*sigh* dating drought

Can you imagine the sort of customers you'll attract on that? Brain bleach supplies would be essential

I already need it with the "regular" sites, so I can only imagine. Where do these people COME from?

I've been in a drought...going on 9 years now Last relationship of any sort ended about that time. Well, unless you count "She-who-must-not-be-named" that I met from here. Went out a few times, things didn't end well. I not only got the "It's not you, it's me," "I'm not looking for anyone," etc. The last one pissed me off, mainly because I later found out that she'd found someone else.

IMHO, those online sites are a huge waste of time and cash. My experience usually goes like this--I'll hit it off with someone, and then never hear from them again. I refuse to pay for shit like that, when I can get it in real life for free

Tired of wasting my time, I've given up on the idea. I'd rather stay home, build models, read, watch TV, or take a nap

I'm more worried about where they're going. Might be coming in my direction.

i cruised the OKcupid site after a friend recommended it to me but i guess she had more luck finding women than i did men because the men were scary ugly and/or obviously single for a reason.

.

First off, not every guy on okcupid is ugly. I am on the site myself. Well I was. I didn't have any luck on it. I am on pleantyoffish right now and am talking to a woman now. And her and I will be meeting up real soon. I had wanted to try for eharmony and match.com. But I got rejected from both of them in the past. Oh well, atleast I get to save my money for when we first meet up.

That's funny. I mean, the fact that you refer to an ex in that manner. It's funny to me, because a friend of mine and myself refer to a third friend of ours' wife as She Whose Name We Dare Not Speak.

Sorry, that just cracked me up!

There's a universality to these things.

A blogger who I follow posted a few months ago about a woman in her husband's past who she despises. Even used it like a curse word at one point. Strangely enough, she had the same name as a former "friend" of mine - M in the the new thread I just posted. Something about the name. So yeah, that name is a dirty word to me, she isn't even worth a title!

i have been in a 'drought' for over a decade now... (i am 32)

[crazylegs]

Heh, I arranged to have a coffee with a gay female friend. She didn't show.

Even lesbians stand me up!

Since she was a Harry Potter fan, I thought it was more creative than calling her "the bitch." Even though she turned out to be one, it really didn't sound all that imaginative At least I can claim that I didn't use "colorful" language when things all fell apart. I guess I took the high road

Still, the 'drought' is ongoing

Meh, that's not so bad, I've never been on a date.

[Primer]

What really sux is being in a drought even though you're married. Remember in '06 when I was run over by the 18-wheeler? I still hurt. Bad. Yes, it's part of the ongoing litigation.

Best first date I had was when the hippy chick set the sleeping bag on fire. (literally)

Somehow to me, that sounds like a hilariously fun date! Yes, I'm sick like that!

Now THIS is the topic for me! I would've started a similar topic, but, well, I never got 'round to it.

Anyway... don't even get me STARTED about being single... has been WAY too long for me and it's gotten REALLY old.

Unfortunately for me, the women of the world seem to have decided that I'm a pariah, and that they should have nothing to do with me, because they make me feel like the invisible man. I don't even seem to register on their radar.

Case in point: I've been a member of Geek 2 Geek for nearly 2 years. As a self-professed geek who is only attracted to women that can also be described as geeks, I figured this was my best chance of finding someone that could be what I'm looking for. Since joining, and after checking out literally THOUSANDS of profiles from women the service thought would be good matches for me, I've found only about 3 dozen that I would actually be interested in. After sending initial contacts to them, only 2 bothered to reply. Of those 2, all that came of it was chatting online a little via email or instant messaging before they lost interest and blew me off.

So, yeah, people keep telling me there's someone out there for me, but I see no evidence that this is actually the case. But if any of you ladies here at CS want to try to prove me wrong, feel free to send me a PM.
