So ive been looking around, messaging, liking, poking, whatever to get some sort of a reaction out of literally anybody and i never get any response back. Ever. i was over on ******* for a few months, went on there every day. Messaged like 4 people a day and only ever got one response and that was from a friend from high school. Im honestly just looking for someone i can live my life with, is that really so much to ask for? I came over to mingle 2 to "double" my chances because i now have 2 places that i can find people and i havent gotten much either. The only difference is this chatroom.

Hi Collin, welcome to Mingle2.

Don't be discouraged, you need to be here for the long-haul.
Keep chatting on here, it's a great way to get to know people and also kills the time waiting for those responses!

It's good to see you have filled out your profile, that's always a good start.
Regarding the messages you are sending out, try to make them a bit different/interesting/personal to the recipient. I know if I get a message saying "Hi, how are you" I am not likely to respond. It's harsh I know!

As for the pokes and nudges on here, very few people actually use them or respond to them. I don't really know why but there you go.

There are lots of threads on here that will give you tips on what works and what doesn't. Just don't give up too soon!!

Happy searching

best of luck bro

Thanks guys, but since im here may as well ask how you all are today? not much else to do.

Hi welcome to Mingle...
Internet dating isn't for the faint hearted or the impatient. Sorry that is a fact.
Come out and join in the forums etc...

Best wishes in your search.

Hey collin how are you?They are alot of people who will appreciate your friendship

Well am also new here and will be glad to know the tips of how to make good friends here though I wish I could get or see people that were seriously-minded and not fake people.....

Is anybody actually out there? No, no one. We’re all part of your imagination.

Hello Colin and welcome

Try adding a couple of more photos, maybe smiling, that's just a suggestion because in all honesty I'm not sure what the answer is.

But good luck and take it easy

Collin, you are only 18 years old. Relax. Give things a chance. You have a lot of time.

That's not really doubling your chances.
Might as well say you tried going to Applebee's and then walked next door to Chili's thinking you'd find something significantly different.

Try apps. Try classes. Try different social sites. Try leaving the house even when it's inconvenient. Try new hobbies.


Then live your life.

The more you try online dating, the more that is going to be your life.
So someone living your life with you is going to be someone that just does online dating sites.
Then your life together will consist of hanging out on online dating sites.
Is that the life you want?

Live the life you want and pay attention to the people you encounter while living it.
If the life you want and want to live doesn't have anybody in it, or you never encounter others, then think really long and hard about what that really means.

Meeting someone isn't going to magically transform your life or make you capable of changing it to something brand new that you are no longer used to.

Yes, you are right

Hi I'm with the Mars chat group. I'm not really here, I mean your not supposed to see me. Let me change the watchamacallit.........
