I have been having a go at internet dating to try and meet different guys. Also using personal ads. I always seem to get the same old problem guys will chat to me for hours online but trying to get them to meet up with me is like getting blood from a stone. How can I streamline the process to get rid of timewasters and end up with better results. How can I tell if guys are genuinely interested and get them to commit to a date. Is it a good idea to phone them up first as I tend to do things on the computer what with my being unemployed and it can be cheaper. Does phoning a guy make him more likely to warm to you? How quickly should I try and get a date with them? I want to know how to strike a balance between seeming to pushy and being too distant so they don't want to bother with me. I get a lot of guys pulling out of dates at the last minute and I get very tired of it. Am I going about things the wrong way and how can I get better results? Give me some tips please any men out there.
