For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

Alright, but don't expect much from these sites either.

webdate.com
okcupid.com

There's a general "half @ss" attitude associated with people on free site. They didn't need to invest much into getting onto the site so what is their incentive for getting out and meeting people as compared to people on a pay service.
