I have now been single for five years, before that I was in an 11 year relationship that when bust. Ready for dating but it's not so easy find dates for my age group in pubs and clubs. I have joined a dating agency. What do I say to get that first response? Tell her about myself, my hobbies; that’s so lame…Please help.
Say something about how you would love to go into yourself and your hobbies, but you think that is lame.
However, perhaps you should then go into your hobbies and who you are as part of Internet dating is to find someone who shares similar interest and hobbies as you do.

Tried to rate this one, but got the 'spread it' message.
There is nothing lame about telling about your hobbies, your likes in music,books, TV shows, even card games and taste in food and wine, etc. Including what type of pets you like. You want to meet someone with the same interests and if you're not truthful, and finally get to the point where you meet face to face, what do you do then? This is your goal, isn't it - to meet someone. Or do you just want to make up what you think are interesting stories to keep someone 'on the hook' which would not be fair to those seriously looking for a partner to share common interests with. Who knows, you might find the right 'gal' this way and won't have to play any games, just be up front and then go from there. As a matter of fun (not fact) run a profile of yourself by us, and see what type of response you'll get. Maybe some more of our hints will help you out. Have fun! P.S. you can fake the city and state... but nothing else.
My Profile:
I am happy with what I have: family, good friends, job I enjoy, blah blah blah but I am missing that special someone. I love meeting new people and experiencing new things.
Tag Line:
We can't talk if you don't call Sounds like you don't want to pay the phonecall!!
My Profile:
I am happy with what I have like what? a house, appmt, etc. : family (how big, kids, etc), good friends, job I enjoy - like what type , blah blah blah but I am missing that special someone to share it with me. I love meeting new people and experiencing new things.
You did not state in here what you liked, if you enjoy sports, music, movies, etc.
Unless you added a picture that looked like George Clooney, I would not answer to your post, sorrry, but you'll have to do better than that...

Ummm, if I was reading this I would say, "If you are so happy with what you have, then why are you on this dating site?" Obviouslly you are not 100% happy, so dont use happy,
say you are content, but looking for more. or something to the affect.
And also take Chery's advice and add more substane to it. Go into you hobbies and interests.
Other than your family, friends and jobs, I know nothing about you. What do you like to do with your time, etc.
Ok, first both of you are giving info to a online dating service, so basicly both of you know why you are there. Just start chatting, exchanging ideas, values and beliefs.
Next when you start dating on line, you have to start thinking what about long term. If you find someone and like them but they they are 400 miles away, or 1000 miles away, what are you going to do.
I meet my wife on line ( married 7 years now) if you live a long way off from each other, most of your "dating" will be online chats. You will have to travel to meet in real life.
Next if it gets serious, one party will have to quit thier job and more.
Just that alot of people don't consider or think of this early into a relationship online. In my case, I ended up selling my house, quiting my job with the state and moving 300 miles away.
But how do you know its safe to online date? I mean lets say I met this nice guy named Burt and I go to meet Burt and lo and behold Burt is a huge manish biker chick who wants a piece of my action. How do you do make sure you are safe?
Safety is an issue with online dating. My advice on that would go with a friend. Have your friend hang out in the background and always meet in a public place. And make sure your friend has a cell phone, that would help speed things along if something was to go wrong.

Apparently one of you lied about your background, but kept the online chatting interesting enough. There always is a chance for fraudulent information when not face to face, but not all people are dishonest, thank godness. I've met some pretty shadey characters in real life who put on a good show too. No matter what route you take to meet new people, you still always have a choice of what to do with the information you receive. With online dating, you have the advantage of not accepting any more mails, but with real people, there is a threat of stress and stalking, therefore pros and cons are everywhere.
We don't know what's inside until we open it. Happy Holidays!
