No matter how many times I look at dating sites I never find what I'm looking for. I kept looking for a while thinking that maybe it would somehow be there this time or the next. It wasn't. I don't even look at the profiles now. I'll get a few messages a week and I'll read them and maybe look at the profile of the sender, but still it's not what I'm looking for. No one seems to spark my intrest. I think a lot of people have started using the sites as a sort of Adult Friend Finder type thing. Thinking that they'll get lucky if they take you out. What happened to romance? What happened to seeing someone and having an honest intrest in them as a person not just a night of meaningless crappy sex? Is love really dead?

I have used dating sites on and off for years.

They suck. I almost never get any messages, and the rare time that I do, it's someone I have no interest in.

And, as lame as it sounds, I'm generally too shy to contact women. Yes, even on dating sites.

But hey, if you get really lonely, I'm single. biggrin

Love isn't dead. Modern romance is definitely close to non-existent though. Internet dating always kind of will be more a temporary thing I think. I'm sure some people have great luck with it, but you can think you know someone really well online and meet an entirely different person face to face. I gave it a try when I first moved up here, but its not really been so successful. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs Modern Romance song, pretty easy to relate to in current times. I'm in the same boat, sometimes it rough, but all you can do is hang in there and try to stay positive. Your beautiful, have good taste, and write some pretty intelligent things, so I'm sure you won't have to wait long.
