The guys are unhappy because they're only worthy of a woman far bellow their standards or sometimes no women at all if they're not average looking or above, and the woman are unhappy because they get played over and over. In the end.............nobody wins

There are lots of exceptions to this, but this is most people's experience.

I would stay away from any of the free sites if you're going to try it.

I hear u I have no expectations..I just texted her for the hell of it..She's pretty cute so I doubt she's attracted to me..chances are slim to none that she responds

exchange about 4 to 5 messages and then give your number in the 6th message

Then you suggest a date once you talk on the phone

OLD is about timing for two people. They both have to be at a place in their lives that they want the same type of relationship. It is sorta like finding the needle in a haystack, which looks almost impossible at times. Both people have to know when they have found what they want in the person and decide to get to know each other. The problem for some people is that they think that the OLD always offers someone better, which means that they are not ready for a long term relationship. My friends who have met and married someone or have long term relationships from OLD had been OLD for more than two years. In the end, it was worth the wait. Knowing what one wants and patiently waiting is the key to successful OLD.
