Well only a minor one, but a response nonetheless. One of the guys I requested a photo from has posted one. He must have seen my profile and photos and he hasn't ignored my request, he hasn't closed the match, instead he has posted his photo, which seems positive. I have now sent him my questions so we'll see what happens.
Some more of the guys I'd sent questions to have closed the match, but I've sent off questions to a few more. I currently have 12 I am "communicating" with, which in reality means I have sent them questions and I am waiting for their responses. A little disappointing that not a single one has responded, but as recommended by the website I will give it a couple of weeks before I become totally disillusioned with the whole thing.
In other news I have another holiday booked. I had a lovely day with T yesterday, much of it spent on the Internet researching flights and hotels. We found a good deal and are off to Chicago later in the year. As we were talking yesterday, I did wonder what she might think of me signing up for online dating. We spoke about it briefly once, when a mutual friend was trying to persuade me to sign up, and she said she would NEVER be desperate enough to try it. I hope she would understand that to me it's just another way to meet men, as I have failed to meet anyone I connect with in my day to day life.

a minor response is still some sort of response... so yay!
i don't know but i was thinking that maybe having to answers all these questions might be a bit tiring. i can't really imagine a guy pouring over all those questions. is there an easier more engaging way of communicating with 'em?
A second guy just posted a photo after I requested, so yay again!
I have wondered if having to answer questions is putting them off, but it is only 5 questions and they're multiple choice so it's just a case of picking one, they don't have to write an essay. There is the option to request a guy to fast track where you go straight to messaging each other, but most of the guys have actually said they prefer the guided option which starts with the questions. I don't know, if I don't get any joy from the guided option I might try the fast track, if I'm feeling brave. At the moment though I feel I need a bit of hand-holding, if you know what I mean?
maybe i'm just impatient haha! i rather go straight into IMing 'coz it's easier to tell chemistry and just as importantly, sentence construction and grammar. can't tell those from a set of multiple choice questions. but oh well we all do whatever suits us best. hand-holding is good too if it gets you to the real hand-holding haha!
You are so right about the importance of sentence construction and grammar. I have managed to glean a fair bit about that from the profiles. Maybe once I've got as far as IMing with one guy I'll feel braver about going straight to it with others.
