Again, I'm in a good mood so it's legit advice time. First, work on your profile. Make it a reflection of who you are. There are a ton of posts on the forums that describe what makes a good profile- read them, take them to heart, and make yours stand out. Next, send emails. Lots of them. Not form letters though- read profiles, if people interest you, send them an email. Mention whatever it was in their profile that got your attention- lots of people leave tidbits that are just made to be commented on. Don't just email everyone, but anyone who interests you, send something short and to the point to let them know you'd like to find out more, etcetera. Be patient. You might send out a hundred emails and only get five replies- and not be interested in any of them. Or they might not be interested in you. Don't insult them, don't say "I'm too good for you anyway" or anything of that ilk. If you have to reply, thank them for their candor, or if you want to make new friends too, try that direction. I've said it before and I'll say it again- you never know who's friends with who. Maybe the girl you email isn't interested, but maybe her friend is looking and she decides to pass your name along. That happens in vanilla relationships, and it happens here too. Participate on the forums. If you're on the forums, making intelligent contributions, people will start looking at your profile. You've made it interesting, right? Good. Again, maybe they're not interested... but they might know someone who would be. Don't try to make enemies, just be an active part of this community, as it were, and remain patient. That's just assuming that you're only using CollarMe. Try finding munches/etcetera in your area and going. Again, you might not meet anyone you're really interested in, but you could make some friends. You see where this is going? Yeah, "a friend of a friend" is probably the number one way I've ended up in relationships, vanilla or otherwise. And hey, you'll learn things, which is always good. The two best things I can tell you are to be patient, and make friends. But that's just me, feel free to accept or ignore the advice.
