I finally got back on a couple online dating sites after a break-up three months ago, and so far haven't been out on any dates.
However, this isn't because guys haven't contacted me. In fact, I probably get about two or three e-mails or "winks and/or icebreakers" every day. The problem is none of the guys who've contacted me really "wow" me.
I'm wondering though, what's worse? Going out on a date that most likely won't end up in romance, or staying home watching TV and posting on C-D?
So, I guess I'm looking for a bit of encouragement to just get out there and go on a few dates with guys, even if they're not "all that". I might end up at least making a new friend or two, yes?
I just hate the thought of leading anyone on, or wasting someone's time.

Go out! Have fun! Don't think of it as a date...think of it as a reason to get out of the house

Dang, now you're doing it to me! I was just getting on here to type this EXACT thing
Tropical, just look at these outings as opportunities to make a new friend or two - don't go into it like you are looking for romance and it will all be a much better experience

Not sure how a guy can "wow" you with an internet profile, but I say go for it. You have my permission to date again.

So true, I've made some good friends and even got work out of it too.
Years ago I used to have the thinking date or go out at all costs and that I had to keep moving. As a result I went on a lot of crap dates that I wasted a huge amount of time and money on. These were women that I just knew were a waste of time, but for whatever reason just thought I had to keep dating. And to the point that I wasn't really aware of the big picture. It was a roommate that said what are you doing bouncing from girl to girl? Especially ones you know aren't worth two craps in the south china sea?
I believe in quality over quantity. If there is no guy you are seeing that really zings you, then don't bother. You are wasting your time and their time.
