Considering I was with my ex for 18 years (dating/marriage) before cell phones and texting became ubiquitous, it was strange the other night getting my first ever drunk text. From a woman that I have never met face-to-face, but have chatted with quite a bit on Match. From a woman who has hidden her profile for weeks due to getting too many emails from guys. I guess I should feel privileged?

After telling a friend about my iDating experience, he shared his story on how one day he updated his profile (moved to a different town) and went from dates left and right to none whatsoever. He couldn't figure it out. All he changed was his town. He swore nothing else changed. As the dry spell continued, he decided to look carefully at his profile and see whats there that could be scaring ladies off.
And he found it. My friend is 5'11". Somehow, his height in his profile got changed to 5'1".

Not a lot of women in my age demo in my city, but finally matched with a decent looking chick on there, and have conversed via messaging for about a week. After I was comfortable that she wouldn't try to murder me, I asked her to meet up. She agreed. 
Shooting for next weekend. This will be my first time to meet anyone from Tinder. Wish me luck. Will report back if I am not dead.

the first meeting shouldn't be a surprise in this day and age. it's the 2nd or 3rd meeting which is the true test of anyone's desireability.Not a lot of women in my age demo in my city, but finally matched with a decent looking chick on there, and have conversed via messaging for about a week.

Got a good vibe so far it seems, so I'll try to not squash that in the first meeting.

You know, if someone proposes this while I'm intoxicated enough, I might just go along with it?

Nothing to report. No meetup.
I think she chickened out. We went from messaging daily with basic chit chat to her ignoring me.

Sorry to say it, but she probably got bored and became more intrigued with someone new that was exciting her verbally more. That's why you make the meetup happen as soon as you can, or else you better have really good message/text game to keep her intrigued for weeksNothing to report. No meetup.

I tried. This was the first time she had available (she has kids and this was her first free weekend). I actually had mine this weekend but was going to get a sitter. Oh well.Sorry to say it, but she probably got bored and became more intrigued with someone new that was exciting her verbally more.

And I doubt she found anyone more verbally exciting, but I get the schtick

This was one of the best pieces of advice I ever got here. I think you gave it back then too. But your rate of success for getting dates will skyrocket if you push for a date as quickly as possible. No unnecessary chit chat, long phone conversations (I'd occasionally call to do the asking out, thinking that the girls would probably want to know I'm "me" or whatever, but eventually just went all to text as well), etc.
When I finished I was an idating machine. 15 days in 15 days of eharmony (wife was lucky number 12 I think). All with pretty much a quick formula.
1. Try to forego the entire 5 question technique if the girl's responses were also formulaic. Go through them if they seem into them though.
2. Went you get to the communication stage make one witty comment about something from the questions or profile and provide your number suggesting getting a drink (if they indicate they like to socially drink) or coffee.
3. Wait for the text. When you get it, reply back with a statement of a time and place.

Recently signed up on a few sites...got some likes/msgs from a bunch of cows right off the bat...yuck. Took about 2 days to get a message from a cute nurse who lives an hour away...we messaged back and forth for maybe 2 days, and she gives me her number...so now were texting and will talk some time this weekend...tentatively meeting up the weekend after Xmas (we're both busy with work/holidays)..Ive been killing it in msgs/texts, keeping her laughing and wanting more...I didn't even know I still had game, but there's really not much to it.
Super cute, 6 years younger than me, great career, no kids/baggage, great sense of humor, one college degree and working on her 2nd, lots in common...I thought Id try this just to see what was out there, and this chick is amazing so far...and nowhere near bat poop crazy from what I can tell. If we hit it off in person as half as good as we have so far online, I may have found my next ex.
It can't be this easy, can it?

I hear ya on the carefully crafted profile. I've got a few messages from some pretty decent ones (as well as others)...when they initiate contact, you're halfway home already. As to the bolded, this is a good thing to tell/text her. Earlier I texted the one I'm working on how I'm starting to believe when we meet, its gonna be a buddy who rips off a mask and says "Gotcha! You had to know a girl like this doesn't exist, right?"
Got the "OMG, you're so funny, I can't stop laughing at this!!
" response.Money.

Now remember, nowadays they expect you to lightly slap them in the face with your penis. To fail to do so basically says you don't like her.

Make sure its clean though. Wash it in the sink if you have to beforehand. You don't want her smelling another woman on it, she might start peeing all over the place to mark her territory...or worse...she might leave.

I decided to try this iDating things and signed up on match last Monday. Plenty of duds liking my pictures or winking. But I've been emailing a cute girl 9 years younger than me and she seems interested. Based on this thread, it looks as though I best hurry up and ask to meet in person. With the holidays it makes it tough though...but at least make it known that I'd like to meet her.

My match profile has been viewed 67 times by 4 different women in the past week or so. I have it set up where only people I message can view my profile. I'm pretty sure the culprit is this pretty hot teacher I just set a date with for after Xmas. In her first message she mentioned that she had past psych issues. I'm not really sure what that means.
I just got out of a 2 year relationship that went from engagement ring shopping to breaking up in the span of about 2 weeks. So let's pretend that I need this. Should I be worried? Please advise. Maybe this is normal behavior.
I think the chances of me being brutally murdered have to be less than 5%, right?

You should most certainly be alarmed if she is bringing up past psyche issues before you have even met in person. On the positive side, initially, that usually means sex. On the negative side, have you ever heard of the book 'Misery'?

So I had a good run of first dates for coffee or dinner lately. As you would figure, some are hits and others are misses. So tonight I mistakenly dialed one of the misses, noticed and hung up before she could pick up. An hour later I get a text from her: "Hey, saw you called. Try me again later." Bah.

Tinder is starting to backfire on me. I went on a lot of dates in a short period of time. Had two dates with one of them, the rest were one and done. A few days ago one shot me a message on fb and tried adding me as a friend. She says I popped up in folks she might know. Chalked it up to a fluke. Yesterday another chick from tinder shot me a message on fb. Had zero interest in ever chatting with her again. Haven't responded to her message yet and not sure I will. No idea how she found me, but guessing fb suggests tinder likes because she didn't know my last name. Is this common with tinder? If so, I'm out. This could get ugly for me in the short term.

I think it pulls from your phone numbers in your phone's contacts. If they have their phone number in their personal info on FB, then FB can suggest a match.

High quality tail, scores of the prospects every few hours - if they're within 250 meters and fall into your screening settings - and oddly, I get tons of first messages (it's like bizarro Tinder - hotter chicks, less effort?). Maybe it's just the nature of midtown but every chick I've met off there I move right to digits, meetup, and more likely than not, down to bang NSA. Been a glorious first month,
