Default Online Dating Woes

Hi there. I've been trying online dating for the first time for over six months now, and I still have not had any luck with scoring a date.

I've only had about 5 people interested in talking to me, but after 3 or 4 e-mails, just stopped suddenly where I'm always the last person to respond. And I only had one actual dinner date with the woman in person where it ended abruptly with a very cold hand-shake and she never called me back.

What am I doing wrong? I'm 30 years old, have a very attractive job in engineering, have my own condo down by the beach, and about to get a Master's degree. Plus I'm very conservative and trustworthy. Yet no one seems interested in giving me the benefit of the doubt and giving me a chance.

For the past several months (after giving it up through months 2 & 3), I've been e-mailing a new girl every single day with a very long, lengthy message expressing my interest in getting to know them better, as well as throwing in some interesting tid-bits about myself, while adding a little dry humor where appropriate. MOW I M LOOKING FOR SOME GOOD DATING SITE CAN YOU GUYS HELP ME OUT PLEASE

I read your profile and you seem like someone I'd like to get to know. I think we have quite a bit in common since we're both close to our family, love the beach and going to see movies, and I also like to scrapbook or collect family photos. I used to bring my book of photos around to show off to my co-workers or friends/guests of the family, which they used to refer to as my 'Bible'.

I have a condo in Seal Beach which I share with my two cats. Which isn't too bad since they're not messy and pretty quiet. The best part about where I live is the proximity to my job at Boeing in Huntington Beach. I have worked there for six years in aerospace and recently I'm working on the design analysis of the Mars crew explorer vehicle heat-shield, which is being built there. It's so amazing what NASA has planned for their future Mars Spacelab, it almost seems like science fiction.

Well, in my humble opinion (and I bet I get jumped on for this) but the that fact that you scrapbook, live with 2 cats, and like sci-fi might not attract a lot of women that like to go to the beach. Sorry if that is too blunt... but you said you live by the beach, but that the best part about it is that it is near your job?

Dude, to me, the best part about living near the beach would be that you could surf, scuba, throw a frisbee in the water

Just because a women likes to scrapbook, doesn't mean she is looking for a guy that likes to scrapbook... I'd suggest keeping that on the downlow.

But seriously, do you have any interests or hobbies that are less, uhmm, sedate? Do you bike ride? Scuba? Climb? Surf? Anything physical? Talk about that too, and maybe try some of that stuff (take a class), you might like it, and you might even meet somebody in the class.

I think the best thing is maybe just omit the scrapbooking and online gaming hobbies until getting to know someone better.

Unfortunately, I don't have many hobbies that are physical.

I used to run track and go to the gym, but these days I've been too busy to due to school and my full-time job. Most of my free-time is spent indoors, like playing online games, video games, chatting online, scrap-booking. etc...

I don't have any fun clubs that I belong to or hobbies where I can meet women offline. Do you have any suggestions as to where I can find single available women?

What else should I do to make myself seem more interesting and attractive online?

It's not that you have to not do those things, I would just omit them from your initial emails and see if that yields more results. For all of us, there are somethings we do or like that is better not spoken aobut until we actually get to know someone.
