I know I am. i messaged a bunch of people and no replies. I mean maybe they aren't interested, but the chances should be that at least one or two would at least humor me. idk. how about you guys?

Some people just don't care. Keep trying you may eventually find somebody who will actually want to talk to you.

i tried mutual match, met some cool people. havent tried messaging people out of the blue tho.

One way tog et other JSH members to notice you is to post in the forums.

people either just stare at me or want to touch my belly button.....

I gave up on that ages ago. I used to try to send welcome notes to some of the new locals when they signed up, and NOBODY ever wrote back.

I just don't write to anyone first at all anymore. And now I get tons of mail here, primarily because I've been here a year and have posted a lot, so people evidently feel OK about writing to me.

But I still never hear from anybody who lives anywhere near me, so I just figure screw them, I'll have a good time with the far-away people who actually want to talk....

word.

Hey, word nick!. Word! Word Riggs. Word Rog. Riggs? Yea Rog? What are we talking about? Word, you know, four letter word starts with a W ends in a D, has or in the middle, Word. Ah right, that word.

Lex...when is the last time you shaved your moustache off???

Look around in the forums (and post too), people who post around in here are far more likely to reply to you. There's thousands of members but they're not all active members.

1948, just before I signed up here.

No, you aren't the only one. I have to mail like 10 girls to get a response and for every 5 responses, maybe one would go out with me. For some reason, I have had a lot better luck on here then the other sites. Maybe 1 out of 3 responds to me on here. I kind of decided to take a break from it and just look for friends. I'm kind getting tired and bored with the whole online dating thing. I met a lot of people but have yet to find the right one and about 75% are nothing like they appeared online.

I met one girl, who I have been friends with for awhile now, no romantic interest in eachother at all. But, she just signed on for awhile and got like 75 emails a day on some of these sites, so that's why, you have a hard time. Even still, most of the replies, were from total jerks, mailing fowl pictures and stuff. So that might be only 10 good responses a day. But you still have to stand out from the crowd, somehow, while still being yourself. But, Geee, I haven't found the one, so not sure I'm doing the right things to find what I am looking for either.

I think I'll add to that, the people I met as friends, turned out to be much nicer, less awkward and a much more rewarding experience. Though, that didn't always work out either.

Just play in the forums don't make a mission out of "finding the one"

If you read someones posts on the forum and remark on them in a message, sort of a way to get a conversation brewing, and show interest to their interests, and not just "hey you're beautiful" (not saying you do that, but lots of people do) then you're more likely to get a response back. Just my opinion.

Thanks guys for that. I really do appreciate the advice. The online dating thing is another option for me because here on campus, I haven't found a girl that there is mutual interest between me and her. Or they just flat out aren't open.
Anyway, I think I am going to take the advice and start being more active on here. I haven't been on a forum in ages though. haha. And I'm also going to keep sending messages, but this time more elaborate. Something that keeps the interest like saying stupid funny stuff and letting them know I really am interested and didn't just see their pic and messaged them.
Any tips on which forums here are any good? :-D

Just play nice & don't feed the trolls!

Don't feed the trolls...lol, I like that saying.

Don't feed the trolls? I've been told that my trollishness is one of my most endearing traits. And eating is one of my favourite pastimes.

I'm lost. Who are the trolls? haha

Hummmm only the ones I cursed out heheheheheeh
