At 37 you have already missed the boat and will never have children, thats good enough reason for men to avoid you altogether.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865927790050521161.post-42049818096308918092015-06-11T12:36:42.258-07:002015-06-11T12:36:42.258-07:00Hi TJ, I find it hard to juggle giving someone a s...Hi TJ, I find it hard to juggle giving someone a shot and the great odds that it's going to be a terrible date (I've been on so many of these). I don't understand the pen pal thing. Why do they want pen pals???<br /><br />Glad it's going well for you!

Did your friends meet their significant others in the San Francisco Bay Area?<br /><br />I heard through friends and at work as being the most commonAdventuresaurus Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11697183583983292564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865927790050521161.post-46392913570133877052015-06-11T08:40:04.737-07:002015-06-11T08:40:04.737-07:00As you very well know, I am completely with you on...As you very well know, I am completely with you on #1 and #2. I'm consistently telling people about how all of the guys I've dated in SF I would have passed over on dating sites, because they weren't "my type." It's amazing what meeting someone organically in-person can do. I recently read somewhere that a woman did an experiment in which she went on dates with guys whose dating profiles and/or messages to her didn't fall within her spectrum of what she found desirable, and she ended up meeting some great people. My takeaway from that: Don't rule out people who don't seem to be your type on a dating site/app. <br /><br />I also agree that there are sketchballs out there AND men who don't seem to want to meet - just message indefinitely. That's when I straight up ask their intentions and drop them if their desire is just for a pen pal.<br /><br />All of that being said, I have chilled on the online dating. BUT, I took the article's advice and met someone from Hinge who didn't seem my type. We totally clicked (in a group setting) and have a one-on-one date Saturday. I'm looking forward to seeing how we are without the buffer of other people.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03944911201652469495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865927790050521161.post-20867753114309852862015-06-10T18:37:01.783-07:002015-06-10T18:37:01.783-07:00Hi AG,

I have several friends who met their sig others online. However, I have noticed in the past year the men online lie about their age, are flakey, want a pen pal and are shady in general. Only thing is, how else do you meet ppl in the city? I'm 37, a professional, own my place and would really like to settle down. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
