Do you see anyone that interests you? Shoot them a message, that's what online dating is for. Don't passively wait for someone to message you, and don't settle for someone you won't like just because they did message you. Try not to send an awful message either. Don't make it too long or short, mention something about them that jumped out at you in their profile or that you have in common, try to throw in something witty if possible, and then also try to end it with a question about them, that makes them more likely to respond.

Also what site are you using? Free sites tend to have less serious users.

My met an amazing girl online that I've been married to for 3 years now, so I know it's not impossible. I also met some awful girls online before her though.

All in all, online dating is just another avenue to meet new people with. If you use it correctly, it'll do its job in that department. Just have fun with it.

Awesome. My friend recently got married after meeting a girl online.

I'm using Match as its paid but I'm also going to try some of the free ones too (although okc seems pretty awful desu)

I know I have to make the first move. I think my ego is just struggling to deal with all the non-attractive women showing an interest in me. I wondered if its because I'm unattractive or because cute women don't bother viewing/winking etc because they get so much attention regardless

Match is where I met my wife actually.

Those unnattractive people are probably messaging everyone. Some people take a machine gun strategy where if they send out enough messages, eventually someone will respond.

How long did it take you to find your wife ? Can I ask what your strategy was?

Um, i'm not sure. I dated online mixed in with offline dating for a few years before I met my wife. I was actually on the last of my subscription and wasn't sure if I was going to renew, she had just signed up, I saw her profile and shot her a message. We exchanged a few messages back and forth, then I asked her to dinner. I was 26 at the time and she was 25. I didn't really use much of a strategy other than the end the message with a question about herself like I mentioned.

I think match used to have a service where they would help you update your profile to be better. I think it was like $40. I have no idea how well it works or what they do, but that might be an option.

But just be yourself and try to have fun with it. I also met one of my exes online who cheated on me, so it's not going to always be a win.
