Okay, let's chat about those dating sites. I've been on: Plenty of Fish, OkCupid, Eharmony, Fitness Singles, Golfmates, Match, Chemistry, Christian Mingle, Spiritual Singles, and Ourtime.
Whew! This is all within the past two years. I've written my fair share of profiles. I think timing definitely plays a part. The man I'm seeing (yes, another Dave; this one amazing) was on Match at the same time I was this summer, but we didn't find each other. I had a sarcastic profile at that time and it had quite a different flair. So, do I think profile writing and high quality pictures have something to do with it? I think so. There are also dating 'coaches' and profile writers online. I've gotten some free advice and read a blog or two. All I know is Dave wasn't single until this past March, so timing has to play a big part in it. I also learned to delete, delete, delete. If someone isn't treating you the way you want to be treated, move on! I'm also a fan of dating breaks.
Betsey, I hope we can get together over the holidays and catch up! Too much time has passed since our last drinking and dancing episode!
Anyway, rejection is also a part of this process and I think it's confusing when your feelings aren't reciprocated. But, as one therapist told me..."Why look at that as a negative thing? It wasn't meant to be and he saved you some time."
