Kelli,
In regards to the whole Match.com entry, several things to comment on. You don't have to be interested in any of them - if you don't see someone that you like, don't respond. I know I wouldn't want some guy to reply to me, and then later find out that he only did because he wanted to just reply to someone. And, don't respond to someone if you aren't interested, even if it's just to say you aren't interested. A lot of guys will take it as a sign that you ARE interested, even though your words might say you aren't. And people who respond who live 5 states away? I would ignore them - match.com is supposed to facilitate the dating process and make things easier, not get you into an impossible long-distance relationship.
On a positive note (not my strong suit), I actually met my husband on match.com a couple of years ago. This was before you had to be "accepted" or whatever it is. When I first signed up, I was so embarrassed and felt like this was a true sign of me being a failure b/c I couldn't get a good date the real way. I was a single mom (divorced) with a 6 year old then, and was really frustrated with dating - most guys you meet in bars/clubs just want to get laid, and it's hard to date friends of friends because it doesn't work out and you have to see them again, and scoping out guys at church is just wrong. But match.com wasn't so bad, and not everyone on there is a loser or a serial killer, most just want to find someone, and find that conventional dating methods aren't working for them. So to end my rambling, good luck and don't respond to anyone unless you think you'd really go on a date with them!
