internet dating advice on how i look? see my pics please……?

ok about 12 months ago i joined a free dating sight “plenty of fish” made my profile nd unloaded some photos, any way since then ive sent about 500+ emails to girls/Lady’s in my area that i liked the look of ranging in 10 years older to 10 years younger than me and none have them have even sent me a responce, the sight tells you if your message has been read or if they viewed your profile, about 10% ha vent been read but about they looked at my profile and didn’t message back and about 30-40% read the message and deleted it the rest just deleted it without reading it.

so where am i going wrong? i also chatted to a girl on a chat web sight and when she sen my pics she said i wasn’t good looking enough for her and she thought i looked gay, do you think i look gay?

do you think i should change my looks somehow?

ive never tryed internet dating before 12 months ago and i havent had any dates so im thinking now should i just forget it and try and meet someone the old fashioned way?

heres some of my pics that ive used on the sight

do you think they are appropriate? and if you could give me an idea of how you would rate my looks on a Scale of 1-10 1 being not so good looking and 10 being the best anyone can look that would be most help full and appreciated! also an idea of how old you think i am by my pics would be help full also!

many thanks

Internet dating advice from girls needed?

When I make contact with single girls on line they seem to be happy to e-mail a couple of times, some will seem happy to converse some get a bit flirty but not overly, some seem interested, but then suddenly it stops. This isn’t just one occasion it’s pretty much all the time, so girls what makes you decide to stop e-mailing someone even just to say, thanks for the contact but I’m not interested in you good luck

need internet dating advice?

i just found out my sister is going to get married to this man she met on the net. They have been dating for 8 months now, and she says she’s sure he’s the one but i am worried he will turn out to be a liar and hurt her again (she’s been divorced twice, both times was cheated on). she says he’s wonderful, sweet, considerate and leaves her room to breathe. I say he’s doing it because he’s not with her, and i worry that when he marries her he will let his true color shine through. They’ve only seen each other once before and they are getting married now, help!!!
he lives in alaska and we live in texas, so yes it is a long distance relationship. She seems to have lost all common sense since he promised her he’d never cheat and yes, i have tried talking to her but she’ll avoid the subject. The wedding will take place in november and he might as well be one of those pervs who are glued to the net 24/7 and don’t have a life!!!

Internet dating. Advice?

I’ve known this girl for a long time. About 2/3 years, though there was a period of a few months where we didn’t talk, and I’ve only really been close to her for the last 2 years or so. I’ve only spoken to her over the internet. She’s in New York, and I’m in England.
For about a year, we’ve both had feelings for each other that were basically more than friends. It came on quite slowly for me, and I think the same for her.
We’ve both had a lot of crushes. They tend to be over in a few months, I think my longest crush was for 4. Even though this is over the internet, it feels like a lot more. I really feel like I love her, and she feels the same way about me.
Basically, we used to spend as much of our spare time as possible ‘together’. I’d come home from school and she’d be there (She’s home-schooled) then I’d spend as much time as I possibly could talking to her until I had to go to bed. In the holidays it was easier, I’d get up at 1, which was around the time she got up (Her time is 5 hours behind me), then I’d be up until about 3am, when she had to go to bed. I pulled a couple of all-nighters, but I was usually out for most of the next day, so that wasn’t too often.
I’m 14, and she’s 14 in January. I know we’re just children, but please take this seriously. If it does happen to be some giant, overblown crush, which I really doubt, then so be it. If not, I really need help. I don’t see this dissapearing any time soon.
It would be about 7 years until we could see each other properly, which I can wait for. It will be hard, but I think I can do it. We both have to go to college.
Basically, her mum is the problem here. We’re both female. Her whole family is christian, including her. I’m not atheist, I do think there’s a god, but I don’t want to worship him for reasons which are my own. Please, I don’t want to go into religion. If you’re a christian, great. I’m happy for you. But I’m not becoming one any time soon. This is my first time posting on this site, but I’ve seen a lot of arguments over that.
Anyway. We’re both female. Her mum is strongly homophobic. We’re bisexuals, which she thinks is disgusting. Her mum recently found out she was a bisexual, and to put it simply, she’s furious. She thinks her mind is impure, and that she needs to have councelling from other christians (Stroooongly biased) though I don’t think she went through with that, because (Let’s just call the girl I’m seeing A for now, okay?) A didn’t want to and she decided to give her a choice. She’s giving A extra exams or something, to help ‘purify her mind’.
And she’s forbidden her to speak to me. She’s allowed on the computer still, but with supervision. I can handle waiting to see her properly, but no way can I handle not speaking to her altogether. The only time A can speak to me now, is when her mother is out. Sometimes these things get cancelled. She’ll sneak on when her mum’s out for a few minutes, so she can tell me when she’ll be here, and then leave again. At most, she’s on for 40 minutes, when she does actually show up. 40 minutes is really nowhere near enough, especially bearing in mind that we were speaking for up to 10 hours a day before. It’s been three weeks since this has happened, and it’s still not any easier.
We both suffer from really bad depression. Bad enough that we don’t see any point in life anymore, and just want to die. I’ve began to cut, but I don’t think she has, thankfully. She has tried to kill herself twice in the past though, even though it was a long time ago, before I even met her. I can’t begin to say how scared I am that she might do it again. If she was successful, I don’t know what I’d do. I can’t live without her, but I lack courage to kill myself.

I really, really need help with this. We both do. I don’t know how we can get through this. It could be up to a year. I can’t live that long like this. I’m so scared of losing her, even though it’s pretty much inevitable now.
Any advice is welcome.

Just a note, I know she is who she says. I’ve seen pictures, and I’ve seen her on the webcam. Even my mum doesn’t doubt it.

And another note, my mum has tried to get me into counselling for this. It doesn’t work. I need advice on how to deal with this myself, and sort something out between us. Any way we could speak to each other more? I don’t think that ones possible, but it’s worth a try.
Thanks for reading. <3
It's kinda longg.

…It's a lot longer than I thought.

Basically, I love a girl, I can't see her. I need help with this.

Internet dating- first date advice and safety concerns?

Tommorrow is my first date at Macaroni grill for lunch with a guy I met online via yahoo.personals. I have never done online dating and this is my first time to meet a person that I talked to online. I have only briefly talked to this guy and am scared to meet him. he claims he is a 36 year old pastor but I am worried that he is not a pastor. the thing is a friend of mine met someone online and was murdered. the person he thought he had been talking to turned out to be male rather than female and murdered him. I am so scared about meeting this pastor tommorrow. I keep thinking that perhaps he is a nice normal person who just wants to meet a nice girl. how can i make sure I am safe? What can I talk to him about? How can I find out what his real name is (not sure if chris is his real name) and what he really does for a living and if he has ever been married before without offending him? Please help me.
Thanks for the advice. The guy was so weird. He made a report card DURING the date and graded me on my appearance and personality. He also asked weird questions like “why should I date you?”. that was my first and last internet dating experience. He was a weirdo.
