LOL Chessie-I know..But right now my life is getting very busy and is going to stay that way for a while..I'm just putting that on the back burner for now as I'm sure I'll have plenty of chances through work..
My wife and I met on match.com. We've been married for over three years now.
A little background: She actually contacted me. We chatted for three weeks before we ever met. It was NOT love at first sight. As a matter-of-fact, there was never of any of the big fireworks, chemicals rushing through your veins type feelings.
We dated both each other and other people for over a year after we started dating. Neither of us was in a hurry.
Both of us had very specific criteria on what we wanted in a relationship.
The dating process is like many other things in life in which you desire success. You must try and try again. If you fail, just pick things up and try again. And don't settle.
I just created a profile (haven't made it public yet and still waiting a little bit) on match. I like to think it's thoughtful, a little funny, rather lengthy, and well-written.
The photo thing is funny. I have some things about me I can't control or change (still trying to figure out how to handle that). While they're important, you have to be careful not place so much stock into them. Some may be 5-to-10 years old and 50 pounds lighter, some people may not be very photogenic and vice versa.
One of the problems I think with online dating is that women tend to place themselves a higher level of what they think they deserve than they would in real life, just due to the sheer number of men-to-women ratio.
For a newbie, how do you handle sending the first message? What do you say?

That's really laudable! Most people don't want to put in the time and demand fireworks fast or they go into never-never land.
