For those not in the know, OkCupid matches people based on the questions they answer. So, if you’ve answered a lot of the same questions the same way, you are rated a high match. Enter my 93% match: a woman who was not only a high match, but with whom I connected and/or related to much of what she had written. Her likes, her dislikes, all of it was like an awakening; I had never come across such a profile. I wrote her a funny and sincere message, relating to a certain thing she had written about and I waited. And waited. AND WAITED. I waited two long days for her to respond… and then I saw her visit my page. (OKC lets you know when someone visited) I thought to myself, “ok, this is it!” and then… silence. NOTHING. I went back to her profile and stared at her photos for a good 30 minutes wondering why. Why did she not respond? Everything on paper was a perfect fit! I wrote her again, apologizing if I wasn’t funny enough and then asking her a specific question. An hour or so later, I see that she’s read my message and my heart races again… and again… nothing but silence. One last time, I go stare at her photos trying to get the universe to step in here… sending good vibes and whatnot. The next day I see that she’s visited my profile, so I click on hers only to find it gone. She blocked me. In a last ditch effort, I created a fake profile and wrote her another message pleading with her to respond and now I wait… AGAIN. Online dating is fucking weird!

  1. Who told you that women are obligated to respond to men, or vice versa? You need to get your stuff together, because based on the post you have “issues” that will prevent you from being date-able.

    Take no for an answer. She.doesn’t.want.to.date.you.
    Move on or take a vow of celibacy.

  2. As long as it’s not due to a dick pic or an offensive message, getting blocked for no good reason is a rite of passage on that godforesaken website.

    Unfortunately, in your case, you went uber-creepy in your online “courtship.” The internet can do strange things to people, but it sounds like you should talk to a therapist before you start dating anyone.

  3. Quantity, not quality my friend. Say hi to 5 girls at the bar, or send 10 girls each an email and if one replies positively, consider yourself Don fucking Juan.

    And WTF is with the unfamiliarity to rejection??? Are you a guy or not? You should be used to that shit by now, dummy! It’s just part of life.

  4. She’s just not that into.

    Besides, rejection grows hair on your palms. Take it like a fucking man– No woman has had to change her wet panties after getting swaped by a desperate dude.

    Being in a shitty band, being a raging alcoholic, and not even being able to afford toilet paper on the other hand…

  5. I hear that if an okcupid girl rejects you, the best course of action is to tell her she’s too much of a fat slut for you anyway. Works every time.

  6. You know, I normally would say something here about online dating being more or less like meeting random strangers in real life, but here we have a problem that only online dating and a complete weirdo could make.

  7. .”I went back to her profile and stared at her photos for a good 30 minutes wondering why”

    30 minutes? There’s your answer mr. future mugshot!
