Here’s a tally of how things are going.

Since the website launched I've gone out with 9 guys.
*This is more guys than I've dated in the last 2 years combined
*I've talked with an additional 5 by phone

I received over 100 profiles
*50% of them were men who were out of my age range
*Youngest guy was 20 and oldest was 64
*Over 20 percent of the guys were from another country (ranging from Australia to Japan to Germany and South Africa)
*More than a few profiles from women from the Philippines who thought it was a regular dating website.
*Many men sent me profile pictures of themselves without their shirts on – I don't get that. For me, it’s like a guy showing up for a 1st date without his shirt.
*Some men included information within their profile that I would have rather not learned so quickly, i.e.,
*One guy told me he hadn't had a date since 1999
*Another guy shared that he had bad credit
*I even got a profile submission from "Yeshua" the Jewish Carpenter and under the question about smoking and drinking, he wrote “Yes, from the Living Water”

I think all of these men are probably really great guys, but I don’t necessarily want to know so much information up front. Perhaps some women feel differently.

Regarding my dates…
*No particularly funny stories or horror stories. I'm very grateful for that. The guys were nice and kind, just not a romantic fit.
*One guy I wanted to see again, but he turned me down. Goes to show you that it’s not an easy street for me.
*One guy who I decided I would not see again asked me to set him up with a friend who I think he might click with. I thought that was a great idea and am working on it (any females between 35 – 45 in NJ/Philly area interested? He’s handsome, good job, African American, focused.
*One date was particularly enamored that I had been on TV and spent the whole evening telling me how excited he was that he was dating a “star.” It made me uncomfortable. But I'm sure he was a nice guy under normal circumstances.

Regarding dating websites. Out of the 4 that I signed up with:

Singlesnet.com - I’ve gotten, by far, the most responses from them. What’s great about them is that if I have a paid membership, guys can email me (if I want them to) for free. From what I’ve read on other reviews, they have the #1 membership. The notification emails can get a little annoying, but you can change your settings.

Plenty of Fish is in second place. Plenty of Fish is a free website, so quantity is not necessarily the best quality. I do, however, like the IM feature, which allows you to screen before saying yes to an IM

Match.com. I have always and continue to love Match.com Why? I don’t get as many responses, but I do like the quality of men, as well as the ability to read more in depth profiles, for those who choose to write more.

ChristianCafe – I like the specialty, but I rarely get emailed. So there’s not a lot of action happening for me on this site. Maybe that will change.

Don't worry, I'm not getting paid by any of these sites to say these things, but it sure would be nice. I just can't figure out how that darn affiliate program things works.
