For the first three weeks, all I did was stare at the names and photos of my 'matches'. The first batches met my requirements. They were all Christian and they all lived within 30 miles or so of me. As more time went by, the matches started breaking my minimum requirements. My matches were starting to become quite geographically undesirable. Some of them lived over 120 miles away. I'm not THAT interested in finding a date.
Finally, on the fourth week, I responded to someone. He didn't want to re-enroll in the dating service and had sent me his personal email address during the first week. Then I threw out some of the first of the four steps to some of the others. Answer 5 multiple choice questions, send my 'must have's and can't stands', send three open-ended questions, and finally step #4: send an email. Finally, and I'm not there yet, talk on the phone. Right now I am on the fourth step with one guy and the third with two others.
There are some prospective dates from whom I have not received an answer. Maybe they triaged me out. I'll survive. I have a lot to learn about dating. The dating I did in college was vastly different. And back then, all I ever worried about was getting pregnant.
