Exactly! Especially on that site, it's a pleasant surprise when someone DOESN'T flake. I am on there with zero expectations that it will work but at least I am actively communicating with those of the opposite sex. It's hard not to over-analyze when maybe 15% of my messages are returned (and I am highly selective on who I contact) and the rest are answered with one sentence responses much of the time. I spent hours doing and redoing my profile until it dawn on me it's their problem and by getting too emotionally investing I was driving myself mad.
