The saga continues my friends. I think I'll just keep posting these rants until I actually score a date with someone or until the second coming of Christ---whichever comes first. I'm currently on a dating website called AfroRomance.com it's a niche dating website for singles who wish to date inter-racially. It's time to dive a little deeper in the dating pool and expand my horizons since I haven't had much luck on other dating websites.
Here's my problem thus far, and I feel compelled to only commit to a month long membership since this is in fact a paid dating web service. Since I am a paid member, I have the supernatural ability to see who is looking at my profile. So far since I registered 3 weeks ago, my profile has been viewed 564 times. I guess my profile photos are catching the eyes of possible male suitors.
However here's my quandary:
There are a few guys like about 8 or 9 who have looked at my profile multiple times. When I say multiple I mean like 10 times or more. I have messaged them, flirted with them, and viewed their profile back to let them know I'm interested. However, I never get a reply back! What up with that?? Can someone articulate to me why a guy would choose to view your profile several times and choose not to message you or even send a "flirt" (which is a service that is free to all registered users by the way).
Can anyone explain that? What's the purpose of you being on this site buddy? To check out hot black women? Haha yea I guess I'm kinda hot....in a nerdy way.
I went back to OKCupid which is sort of my de facto dating site when all else fails and I feel like I rather save some coins and pursue online leads rather than committing to a site as a paid member.
Wow I have commitment issues already...
Okay, besides of all that, I went back to OkCupid, received an email from a blerd (black nerd) who seemed like a cute guy, good head on his shoulders, had all of his teeth in place--you know the basics.
And I messaged him back after he sent me a long and lovely introductory email about himself.
24 hours...48 hours...72 hours...
Nothing. I hear nothing back from the guy. What up with that times two?
Why are guys so flaky? No, let me rephrase that, why are the guys that I connect with online always flaky?
A girlfriend of mine over dinner and drinks the other night suggested I look to eHarmony. She told me yes, you will spend close to 3-4 hours answering a million and one questions about yourself and your taste in men, but it's a good assessment and helps filter out the flakes from men who are really dating to marry.
Hmmm...eHarmony. Should I go for it? Anyone else had luck with this site? I feel like I'm running out of options here guys.
To be continued...
