It would be really far wiser to learn how to drive before getting yourself into dating.

I thought you'd at least want them to know how to square a jib if there cmon aboard a somali pirate ship

What do boats have to do with dating?

Absolutely nothing, which is what you are about to become....

Just out of interest. Can you send someone a message again, who came back after being last online a couple of weeks ago?

I'm sorry if this thread is getting a bit boring.

Why thank you. I'm a nothing. Was that meant to an insult?

Hmm. She hasn't logged on since yesterday morning. I wonder if she's going to disappear like the other one I chatted to, who never logged in again.

Don't try to second guess things so quickly. Give her at least a day or two before you declare her departed! We don't all live on the internet.

You were right, I did get another reply from her on Wednesday. Now if it's too soon to start e-mailing each other, I think I can still continue the conversation I was having with her via messaging.

My opinion is you need a happier picture. You look like a combination of angry and disinterested in that picture. If looking straight at the camera and smiling feels too unnatural, I recommend having a friend take many, many pictures of you while you are doing something you enjoy. One of those pictures is bound to convey a more positive emotion than the one in your photo now.

Jono,

I agree that a photo in which you are smiling might help you attract more women. Just my two cents.

One thing that struck me is that little of what you wrote describes how you would act in a relationship. You mention a lot of your personal interests, and you would presumably be able to engage someone through them, but you don't quite say how. For instance, do you like to comment on the films you have seen? Do you enjoy the idea of quietly watching the films with someone?

I think (though I have never used a dating site in my life) that it would help a potential lover to get a sense of how you would spend time together.

Off-topic, though, as far as working in academia is concerned, you seriously need a good back-up plan in case you fail to get tenure. Something with applications in industry will be particularly useful. I don't say this from experience, though, as I am just about to start a PhD myself; I have simply read a number of very relevant statistics and stories (PM me if you would like links).

Jono,

I agree with Primaloath's comment about expounding upon what type of relationship you seek and the qualities you seek in a viable romantic match.

End of the day, please consider being as direct and explicit as you can in describing who you are (attitudes, interests, hobbies), what type of relationship you seek, what qualities you value in a viable romantic match, etc. After all, isn't the shortest distance between two points a straight line?

Good luck!
