So, I’ve been using some online dating site for about a month. I’ve sent messages to people, but I’m already out of matches. There is no one here. I managed to have three conversations, but they were boring as hell. I had to keep asking questions, and I only got one word responses. I can’t work with that. Can anyone? Should I just give up?
I just really don’t get it. I’m not an unattractive fellow, I’ve gotten a fair amount of compliments. I read the profiles and tailor my messages to them. So I’m not really sure where I’m going wrong. I’m just failing to connect to anybody. Do I just have a garbage personality?

Your personality is okay. I’d date you.

I’d date you.
And only men say this to me.

Move somewhere else. Take better pictures of yourself.

Or don’t online date. Unless he lives in a tiny, tiny town, I doubt that there are no tolerable available people around.

I thought you thought all company was intolerable.
I would put this in my sig if I weren’t so lazy.

Just 99%. Unless he lives in a town of a few thousand people, that leaves a decent amount of tolerable people.

I have a feeling that online dating tends to over-select intolerables.

Online dating is usually a bust. There are some people on there who, like you, are fine and normal people who have just had bad luck meeting people or are just isolated. And then there’s a much, much larger amount of people who are single for a reason. And another secondary effect is those people from that second group will even cause the people in the first group to lose interest in talking to people on the site because they’ll just automatically assume the worst about that.

This isn’t an option unless I uproot everything I’ve done this past year.
Also, there’s nothing worse for online dating than a selfie. The damn word is just so stupid.
Thanks for the encouragement, everyone. I just wish finding friends were easy.

The whole point of online dating (I assume) is that you don’t have to move to meet new people.
Maybe you need to try another site?
I have no idea. I dated before computers existed.

Fair enough. But it is an option.

I didn’t say take a selfie. That would be a worse picture.

Selfie is a dumb word. People have been taking pictures of themselves since cameras were invented. Best you can do is come across as passionate about what you care about and clear about what you want.

It’s a really horrible option.

Moving somewhere else just because you can’t find a date seems pretty extreme to me. And I dated before computers existed so it seems even more extreme now.

That wasn’t really what I was suggesting though. Handman has been saying that he doesn’t have friends largely because of where he lives. So I presented a possible option. The biggest reasons for or against that option are largely things that I don’t know.

Yeah, as Dom says, lots we don’t know. And more a matter of finding happiness, love, whathaveyou, more than a “date.”

Indeed. That’s why I’ve never really focused on finding “dates”. I want a meaningful friendship with someone. I don’t have zero friends, but I don’t have any meaningful ones.
I think I’ve mentioned before that I just moved back from an even worse situation at the end of last year. It’s better to have nothing than shit.

I’d say just pick another site. The one I’m on has given me a lot of hits even though I’ve got a horrible profile with no good pics. I’d serve it to you? But it’s a religious site. So probably not helpful.
K. Let’s have this ride.
