Have been on-line dating for around 2 months, first with Match.com, then with Guardian Soulmates. I am steadily losing hope and becoming very frustrated. I have recently been chatting to two really nice men, one through e-mail, with the second we had got as far as texting. But both seem to have gone poof into thin air, my last e-mail and text having gone unanswered. They were the only two men I was really interested in. Most men who contact me seem to be about twenty years older than me and look like a serial killer. What to do now? Is e-mailing or texting again after someone has not replied always a bad idea?
