The best advice I can give is just be yourself and do not force the issue. If it is gonna happen it will.

Bear in mind that there is really no such thing as 'online dating'. It might sound like a small point but it helps to get right the fundamental way you look at a 'dating' site. The dating will be offline. Just as if you met a woman at your local shop, you meet in one place, date in another. (Personally, I don't even think about things in terms of 'dating' but that's another matter.) What a site like this is good for, is helping you to meet those who might want to know you. Every time you go in a busy supermarket, there is probably a woman in there who would like to meet you, too, but which one of the three hundred is she? That doesn't mean that every one here wants to meet you, of course. You still have to find the one(s) compatible with you, and also find her among those who will tempt you but have no intentions of doing anything but extracting money from you. So there is still a filtering process. At a glance, your profile seems good. Have a look around, write something real and preferably different as a SHORT introduction to a few women and take it from there. Good luck to you and those you mingle with!

Online dating is a tool, nothing more. You use tools to perform a task. If you try to use a tool for something its not designed to do, you will get poor results.

Your profile description makes an excellent read. I suggest you retain the following haven't a bold bone in my skinny body. ... .., focus on those serious things like life, career, and romance, And drop the lines before and after - those wrapper lines do a dis-service to potential mates. Having been on and off in this site, chances are, the right girl will find you; provided you don't go temporarily blind as I was. Online dating is a tool, nothing more. You use tools to perform a task. If you try to use a tool for something its not designed to do, you will get poor results. To this I would add, you may come across fake profiles - nothing to worry - these are the honest fakes Then you may come across f.h. They think they are honest and you are fake. One wastes a lot of time Then you may come across .., hey wait a minute I should be paid for this.

In the physical world for those seeking something less superficial (in general, not even necessarily anything romantic) there must be something sparked in "conversation". No epiphany there, right? I have witnessed time and again, connections of people (including platonic now lifetime friends) all from the forums. Most of the successes seem to be from and with those who wanted to join the conversation seemingly without intention. The "just sentences" are laughable. Not about to say "Just approach without intention." Will say however, to join the conversation and try to avoid starting sentences with "I want" unless appropriate to the subject at hand. You might just get what you want. Perhaps something you didn't even know you wanted.
