Speaking of honesty...
Speaking of honesty... I've been a member of this site for about four years now, give or take. After many different screennames and profiles, I still had no luck whatsoever, and it certainly wasn't from lack of trying. Over all this time, I think I maybe got three responses, and all of them were pretty scary to say the least... Looking back (hindsight being 20/20 and all) I can blame no one but myself. My old profiles and emails were all written with the thoughts of trying to put down what I thought others wanted to see. Best I can figure is in doing so, it must have come across as a bit fake. So I tried again starting about mid-August. This time, I said the heck with it and wrote honestly and truthfully. Granted, I certainly wouldn't have universl appeal, but it was what I truly felt. My emails as well have been written not to impress, just speaking from the core of my being. Turns out I've had more responses in a month and a half than the other four years combined. Most of them have been pretty positive too. Who woulda thunk it? lol One response stands out in particular. It was actually a response to an instant message - I saw she was online and took a chance saying hello. Her profile seemed great. Turns out she loved my profile too and we started chatting. The more we chatted, the more it seemed like we were perfect for each other. We're taking it nice and slow for now, not rushing anything, and it's getting better and better every day. Granted, there are no guarantees in life, but I'm quite optimistic about it. I look forward to chatting every day, and especially look forward to getting the initial meeting out of the way - lol, it'll be the best cup of coffee yet. So, just be sure to be totally honest in what you're looking for and the way you present yourself - that special someone is out there - just be a little patient and persistant and you'll find them. Or they'll find you. Marl --------------------------------------- "If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got." |
