Dating site confusion

Post Reply New Topic

I go on a dating site. I read a profile of someone who looks interesting. Profile says they have kids. Next line In the profile asks: want kids? They answer No. This confuses me and I can't contact them. I would hate to be there kid!
Or. I get an email, so and so checked out your profile send them a "flirt" I don't know how or when to flirt, I never contact them either
One time I clicked on the flirt tab it gave me options all the options seemed like bad pickup lines, is that what flirting is?
Even the aspergers dating site is set up the same way, have I missed something?

I think they meant that they didn't want more kids.
As for flirting, I think it's along the lines of sending a 'wink'. All it seems to tell you about the sender is that they've read your profile and like you but not enough to actually go to the effort of thinking of something meaningful to write to you.

I find most women on dating sites are flakes. Both males and females on dating sites are looking for flings on dating sites. 70% to 80% of dating site users are males. Males need to use a fake male model profile pictures to get attention from females online. Sending hundreds of messages for no response is a huge waste of time and effort.

I would guess to it's saying they don't want more kids, especially if there is no box that says "have kids"

Unless your on eharmony, don't waste your time with anything other than sending a message. How do you know when to send? When you like what you see/read.



It's like playing the lotto.

If I was of your age, I would give up honestly.

I photographed a wedding of a guy in his 50's.

No you wouldn't. What did you think when you were 18? Did you think you'd be still single at 31?

lol I wasn't event thinking of dating back then.

Exactly. You can't possibly know what you'd be thinking 19 years from now.

Well you've got 19 more years till you give up. Good luck. If you fail to find someone by then you'll probably have more than 19 lonely years to live after you've given up at 50.

If that happens, I would become too used to that already at 50.

I hope so.

I am certain lol, I am already used to it.

The whole dating site thing is weird.And by the way, the Misslizard on POF is not me.
I get meet me things from baptists,they obviously have not read my profile ,or maybe think I need saving.
Why do men send messages saying" Hey,Sweets"?Im not sending a man a message that says,"Hey,Stud."

Why would I give up? Just because Im used to it, hogwash! I have had a few relationships in the past that did not work out but it always brought me closer to another human being if only for a moment. Why would I give up because I'm 50 or 60 or 90 for that matter. Human closeness is a necessary evil in my life. It helps me feel balanced and secure at times, other times it drives me bonkers but I would never simply give up. I used to think I would be dead by the time I was 30. Well I'm still here and I'm using the resources around me to try and make a more intimate connection with my world perhaps only one person at a time but I would never give up. I think that's what many of us do and it leads to an unhappy unfulfilled life in my book. DONT GIVE UP!

Why?

Yeah they probably aren't looking to have more kids with another man.
