thinking of renaming all my on-line dating profiles to "Ghosted Town" with all the times I've been ghosted by people.

never knew dating was this hard...or even finding someone to show a little bit of interest in you. guess the forecast for my life is to be eternally single....15 years and counting still single!

So today I learned that Neil Peart, the drummer for Rush, had died on 1/7/2020 after a three battle with brain cancer. Rush was one of my first experiences in music the first concert I attended. Not only musically but lyrically there was something that resonated in me with the band. Neil Peart, their song writer, used the music not to just entertain but to...

ever have that awkward moment at work where you start chatting with someone (that you used to not talk to before) for a long time, and wonder in your head "Is she into me, or is she being friendly and nice?"

Yeah...those time suck!

Wow on-line dating sites seem to be a scam or just not working for me...I've been on Tinder, Match, and OKCupid for well over a year. So far, 1 match from all three (after I paid for a membership) where I actually talked to the person and got to the point of meeting her in real life.

And she ghosted me the next day.

Anyone...

OKCupid, someone started a message conversation with me. kind of interesting, we have a lot in common, it looked quite promising.

yeah, pretty sure she ghosted me. the last thing was her telling me what she does and I replied. so far, nothing.

2 for 2 on being ghosted.

really...is there any good way to find a date for a 40-some old guy who doesn't...

Wow...so Tinder and OK Cupid seem to be a bust for me. Friends and family don't know anyone to fix me up with. So what's left for a single guy in his 40's for finding a date, since nothing seems to work out for me.

Anyone have any suggestions?

well, rejected by another girl on OKCupid...she told me (before even meeting me) she's not interested.

no hits for Tinder, rejected twice on OKCupid...and Match.com seems to be a bust.

Any ideas where a 40-some year old guy can actually find a date, besides looking overseas?

thanks!

Someone I'm friends with on Facebook (and do know in real life) posted about how she's bummed out because she's single and relationships don't last long with her. She's not a bad person but kind of bummed, since everyone always says "There's someone out there for everyone" and "You'll find someone" (etc.)

And got me thinking about all those myths out there people say to...

So OKCupid seems to be a dud for me....as well as Match.com.

Time to try Tinder.

Wish me luck.

ever wonder if this site would do great to have its own dating app? Just curious, as a single guy who got ghosted by the last person he talked to for a possible relationship.

got a feeling I'm going to get ghosted soon....after meeting once.

yesterday (my last day for a paid OKCupid membership) I messaged a woman who liked me. we have a 93% match, things seem good. not necessarily the "ideal" for what I like physically, but definitely some things that made me interested (such as her liking NCIS, Big Bang Theory, and iZombie).

We're now having a conversation about TV shows we like to watch and comic...
