I ended up liking a girl who was 5'10'. Being 5'9' myself I prefer girls who are at least 5'7" or shorter. So when the girl contacted me I noticed this and I was honest with her and politely declined. <br /><br />I've grown quite numb to the non-responses on OKC. But this circumstance really pisses me off.

I'm sure all of you are familiar with the Quickmatch. If you rate someone 4 or 5 stars OKC will most likely let the other person know about this.<br /><br />So twice I was informed that a woman "likes" me where I actually was interested in her. Most of the time it's just women I would never consider. So when someone comes along that I like I take advantage of it and contact them. Both times I have done this the women never respond to me.<br /><br />To me this is a very WTF moment. The second one happened recently and I'm planning on sending a followup message that politely reminds her not to like someone who you aren't prepared to be contacted by. To me, it's shit like this that ruins the whole thing.<br /><br />So I'm curious, have any of the ladies here experienced this or even done this?jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17775823790154569529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865927790050521161.post-48205739998363769702013-11-26T18:26:57.882-08:002013-11-26T18:26:57.882-08:00You are totally right J.

It's not a situation where you're going to have natural chemistry very often. Most of the time when you meet someone in a romantic fashion it is predicated on the fact that you share something with that person already. Be it friends you can gossip about, work that you can gossip about, activities that you share, anything that will allow you to naturally talk to this person. Otherwise you are forced into an interview type conversation or some kind of "hey how was your day?" type text messaging. It's forced conversation in hopes that you can create some sort of connection from scratch. It's possible, but difficult and time consuming. So most people (including me) get frustrated and impatient with the process. With my Ex, I knew her for years. <br /><br />I also think that bringing your friends around sooner rather than later can help things along. I haven't tried this yet, but it worked for my roommate. Me and a group of friends ran into him on hist first date and we had a chance to bring his date into our group for a short time. They've been together since.jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17775823790154569529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865927790050521161.post-31623389889850901152013-11-26T14:55:54.215-08:002013-11-26T14:55:54.215-08:00Thanks!

I agree, on Match I can find a lot of dates, but I think they were looking for a roll in the hay. eHarmony, a lot of guys contact me, but I've only gone out with one or two of them because I haven't found many of them to be attractive. Coffee Meets Bagel has been useless for me, haven't gone out with any guys, think I've "liked" two.
