Oh, and it feels un-natural to me to sound upbeat in an email. In person I am much better.

Hey, you never know ... grin

Don't feel pressured to put yourself out there or like you NEED to meet someone. That is not healthy. Just live your life day to day. They say when you "aren't" looking is when you find someone...

Or just rewatch that movie with Billy Bob Thornton and the guy from Napoleon Dynamite.

And many people feel that winks/smiles are intended more for women to indicate openness to messages. Guys should probably initiate things with a message. Seriously, what's the worst that can happen? If you can't handle a rejecting email or no response, you might not be ready to date 'cause I think rejection is part of the process.

I just came across this funny article about online dating. I thought it would add some extra humor to the discussion.

I sent out 9 emails and 6 winks in the last two days. I try to find women that I like the looks of and then I actually read their profiles! lol I don't just blast off 100 duplicate emails to see what comes back. I got another wink and an email from a 41 yo woman who looks great but I don't think we have much in common.

AND I got matched with my XW! Turns out we are a match made in heaven with a 93% match! lol
