Today I went to lunch with an old friend in the Union Station plaza. She's reading these posts, and thinks I'm crazy for sticking with it so long, but I just have to finish what I started. When the conversation came around to "does online dating work for you?", the answer was an emphatic "No".
Here's someone I've known for a couple of years, and who's opinion I trust. Like me, she finds she meets new and interesting people more readily when she's doing something she enjoys doing, and focuses on doing interesting things rather than obsessing over "trying to meet someone". I find I'm the same way. Does it bother me that I might say something to turn-off potential dates here by saying things like, "No Harley's", and that pictures with children give me the shivers... Honestly, when you put a picture "out there" on the internet, you never know where it will end up. I (for one) will *never* put pictures of my children up here. And for potential dates, you're not likely to even meet my children unless, and until, we've been dating for a good while. I don't want to put more 'people churn' into their lives than they already experience.
The Opinions I've received so far are 80% Leave the online dating scene, and 20% stick with it. We'll see if anything changes this weekend. Plus, I've got an extra day in the month to think it over...
