I've been on it for like 1.5 years, with zero luck.

I wouldn't even try, because I'm less datable than these two [up],[up][up]

ah, okcupid, eh?

let's see, i've had success at leat just talking to people, and i credit that to bringing up mutual interests and the like; at least two conversations were started by mentioning jjba or the x files, usually both.

best person i clicked with (who is chronically terrible at responding and gave me permission to virtually poke them if they don't respond in a timely manner) was someone who I got into an awesome discussion on horror games and movies, which resulted in introducing him to The White Chamber, which was a good move.

in the case of people who didn't respond, i'd usually check out their profile again maybe a day later, and if i saw that they had been online after i messaged but did not message back i buggered off. no use chasing after anyone.

I would probably try the online thing once I get out on my own at least. Wouldn't expect anything to come out of it but it's probably worth trying.

I've been working the online thing for a few months; I've only been single since late December, and my shyness and inability to initiate conversations I've been very unsuccessful sad

I've been OKC since 2013, and I've somehow been much less successful at it now than how I was doing for the first few months or so after I joined. Back then, I managed to get three dates, but the first two girls stood me up, and the third girl suddenly stopped responding to me right before we started planning our second date. And it seemed like the first date went well enough; she even responded a few times afterwards, so I don't what happened there. Now, I literally can't even get a girl to respond to a message or even look at my profile.

Yeah, was on for something like 3 years. Most I got out of it was a single date with a woman who insulted my mother and made me watch The Goonies (which I found highly overrated, but it's okay because she didn't seem to like my favorite movie, The Truman Show).

Online dating services have never really been my cup of tea. I don't have anything against people who use them and I know it does work out for some, but for me I think of dating as a "plus" to my life rather than something I have to actively seek out.

[up]I don't think I can ever enjoy the Goonies, because I watched that my ex. Some really bad drama ended up taking place that same night, and it's pretty difficult for me to dissociate the two in my mind. It's pretty unfortunate but I guess that's the way the ball bounces sometimes.

I'm trying to accept the fact that I'd be a shitty boyfriend and that any potential love interest of mine is better off without me.

[up]I'm somewhere near you in terms of thought, but I'm trying to find a more optimistic outlook for the future. So, if you need to vent about it, PM box is open.

[up][up]Doing ok. If only I could get an internship or a job to keep me a bit more busy...

I haven't dated since ever. Never found someone I'm interested in.

I'm open to dating the ladies, but I have a habit of pushing them away with my Blue-and-Orange Morality, due to being harder to empathize with, or due to my own accidental sabotage.

Doesn't mean I'm not stopping attempts, though.

And online dating sometimes works out. Usually, however, it can backfire.

How does this differ from romance thread anyway? Besides that I'm not here being bitter always? xD

[up]Well, this thread has both people who are happy with being single and people unhappy with being single, while that other thread has mostly people who are either in a relationship or looking for one, I think.

I'm also single! In fact, I'm the only one in my family who can talk about dying alone and laugh about it.
