So there I was realising that my love life or lack of needed kicking up a notch. I realised that due to work commitments I really was not getting out like I should which in turn resulted in a zilch social life.
I had this brainstorm why not do what the masses are doing and join a online dating site. So I found a couple of good pictures of myself and for hours trying to complete my profile but was stuck. I couldn't find anything exciting you know something that the ladies would love. I sat and sat then "bingo" why do I not just be me and forget about trying to summarize myself up as say superman. It was a little tricky at first as I found the dating site a little daunting, question after question, they just didn't see to let up. After a while I became at ease with answering questions about myself which in fact I don't think I had ever had to do in my life.
I uploaded my pictures and sat back waiting for the floodgates to open with all these women emailing me asking to go out on a date. Little did I realise that it does not work like that. From my experience the man has to be just as proactive on the Internet as he does in normal life if he wants to get a date. So over the course of the next couple of days I was sending out the generic "oh I love your profile" message and realised this was getting me nowhere.
I could sense that a lot of these ladies were getting an enormous amount of mail so I had to send one that would stand out from the crowd. I would then go to each profile and find a little snippet that they had written and from that try to incorporate it into a humorous email to them. Sometimes it hit the spot and I would get positive results with my messages which were always encouraging as online dating is like fishing, you throw out your bait and hopefully one will bite.
