Frustrated...

Recommended Posts

Well, sort of and not really.

I met a really cool girl online (remember the online dating thread?), and we hit it off really well, chatted for quite a while on the 'net. Anyways, met her in real life last night, it was fun to finally really meet her. We had a good time, we get along great together, but we just don't really "click" in person. We'll probably end up being pretty good friends, but I guess it was kind of annoying that she's really cool, cute, etc, but romaticly we'd be horrible for each other.

*shrug*

Although I haven't met anyone yet that I've taken on more then one or two dates from the online dating thing, I've met some really interesting girls that way. Its definately fun meeting new people that you may not have normally met.:)

A few years ago, I actually met someone online and we ended up dating for several months. She was cute and smart and I liked her more than she thought I liked her. But I never was able to click with her two kids. :S

But now that I'm a skydiver, I haven't bothered trying to meet anymore women (whuffos) online as we all know what sort of challenges skydivers and whuffos have with each other. :)

have you considered that speed dating stuff? i think there are a few different organizations that do it. and it is supposed to be a lot of fun, it gets a low pain in the ass rating, and offers easy in person time. (no commitment to exchange information unless both individuals mark on their sheet "interested" or whatever...)

i've tried to convince my brother and other single friends to do it, but they are all hesitant...which is lame because i know they'd do well. of course, i guess i understand their hesitation.

you seem like an outgoing, good looking guy and that is probably the best kind of person for speed dating. someone not afraid to be out there and make a good first impression. and crimany, you have one hell of an openning line..."i like to skydive, what do you like to do...?" so easy!

if i were single, i think i would give it a go. just a thought... good luck with the hunt! :)

I like this line better: "Hi, I'm a professional skydiver..."

Since I technically am, right now my income is from skydiving.B| Even though I'm not a competition skydiver, or even a world class skydiver...hell, I'm a no-class skydiver.:P

The 'Online' thing it doesn't work on everyone, in my case for example, never worked (I just tried 2 or 3 times tops) but for others it does, I have a friend, he used to go out almost every weekend, met a lot of chicks and NOTHING, he was introduced into the 'Cyber-world' by my brother and myself, and guess what?, he met someone, got married and had a kid.

Don't feel bad man, it just happens.

Hey Aggie, it is not about quantity is about quality..romance without friendship sucks, yet sometime you are looking to have an encounter...it seems that you are looking for a SO, so it takes time, in the meantime, make friends, women friends....it is more fun to go with them to do things...

Maybe we should start posting classifieds in this site, so we could arrange dates for skydivers....our very own dating site. (well it is not whuffo proof, chances are they are into skydiving regardless).

It takes time to meet someone, that you can relate to romantically.

Blue ones.

Dallas and "that place north of San Antonio on I-35" are close in the Texas since of the word. Dallas is about 3hrs away and austin is about 1.5hrs away.



Is Austin really so bad in the mind of an Aggie that it doesn't warrant naming?;)

Well well he did type the city name after he said he wouldn't name it. But, he did forget to capitalize the name Austin. Must be the english their teaching in aggie high school now.. Go Figure! :D

Aaaawww Dave....I'm in Austin, you can come visit ME!:P

Nothing like 6th street during a halloween weekend. Dunno about now, but back in the mid 80's they would shut the street down and it was one huge party all up and down the street. Everyone in costumes walking around. You could pay one cover and probably get into 10 different bars / clubs. Damn was that some fun.. Wow I'm getting old!!

I met my wife on line. Quite a feat since neither of us are really into chat rooms and never have been.

Was my first time in a chat room, looking just out of curiosity. She was looking for some technical assistance.

I said "Hi" and she ignored me completely B|

I watched (lurked) for another 30 minutes or so and just as I was about to sign off she responded.

Been happily married 6 years now. No kids as we both already have 2 each from previous marriages.

Shes a whuffo but thats ok B|

My theory is that it only works if you arent deliberately trying to hook up.
I think thats the same for non-cyber space too.

It's still the same....nothing's changed. BTW, luv the avatar!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Casie :$ I've been around the forums along time. I usually lurk now. Used to post alot. Kinda lost interest. You all do enough posting you don't need me to insert my 2$ all the time :P

Sorry for the Hijak Aggie.. I hope you find what your looking for out there. I've met some really sweet women online. I'm actually a very shy person face to face. I find being able to hide behind a monitor sometimes makes breaking the ice easier. You'll find someone I'm sure. B|
