    I just have to rant!

    Ok so I took the plunge and joined Eharmony for three months.

    I've had a couple of good hits, a lot of "closed" for "other" reasons from matches. But, I've actually gotten four phone numbers from some women. The thing that's driving me crazy is that whenever I call them, they don't answer their phone! Goes to voice mail and I never get a response back, WTF?

    I'm beginning to think that I wasted $100 on this BS marketing service. I just don't get it at all. These women write such great stuff about themselves and then don't have the common decency to answer your call AFTER they give you THEIR number! Once again, WTF???

    I'm still pissed, but feel a little better now, thanks for listening.

    Oh yeah, one of these days soon I'll get back out there spotting, work is finally calming down at EWR, so I can relax a bit soon!

    Maybe they listened to the voicemail & did not like what they heard

    If you leave a stupid voicemail that stinks of desperation, chicks will not call back.

    Maybe you leave a better voicemail, just a thought......

    It took me 11 years to figure out "till death do us part" was actually a goal!

    Have a cookie, a cup of milk and smile..... My wife will eat my cookie, I can not touch the milk because there is only enough left for the kids cerial in the morning....and I am to tired to smile!
    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    I've left normal voice messages each time I've called these ladies. Maybe they're not worth the effort.

    Holy crap, that was hysterical.

    11 years together or married?


    Anyhoo, Belluciman,

    You can find the good gals in the library. :borat: Its the quiet ones that take the cake.
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    Not to continue the curiosity, but what exactly were you saying on those voicemails? How many were you leaving each and with what frequency?

    Just wait till the day comes when she yells at you saying you are going where to do what ??

    That's the day she wants to go shopping for furniture or clothes with you when you have a nice spotting trip planned at your local airport dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Re: I just have to rant!

    Well, to answer Phil, I've left about four vm's to two over the past few days. Pleasant tone of voice each time. "Hi how are you, yada yada yada" "Let's talk when you have a chance" That kind of stuff.
    Out of the blue this morning I received a call from one of the ladies and we wound up talking for 45 minutes! So, I have my first date with her on Monday night. I don't think I jumped the gun by complaining a bit, but I'm not getting my hopes up just yet!

    Once again, thanks for listening.

    Re: I just have to rant!

    Is that four for EACH woman? Personally, if its to the same girl, and if meeting from a dating service, I'd leave ONE voicemail per woman. If she doesn't answer, forget her. Simple as that. If they don't answer or call back, then they might not have been as interested as they implied. Calling and leaving more message would be considered groveling or being desperate from the point of view. Not worth it.

    Re: I just have to rant!

    I wish I was Rico Suave!

    Yep, four women, one really good response, one kind of response and two no-shows. I had a great two hour conversation with one from LI, seems promising but won't get my hopes up. I'll be meeting her for the first time on Friday evening. Should be fun!

    I'm really hoping to get back out there spotting soon, it's been way too long. There are a couple of nice private jets parked in the North area of EWR. 727, a 737 900 (I think that's what I saw) and lots of smaller parked by the Admin building. Ahhh to get a PA pass!

    I'll keep you posted on the ladies, maybe I'll have to add some smilies soon! :twisted:

    Re: I just have to rant!

    Mike, ya might be right about no more grumpy posts!
    I had a really good time with her on Friday night. Went very well!
    She showed me photos of her family and stuff like that and asked where my photos were. Unfortunately I don't keep photos in my wallet, so I did the next best thing......had my company laptop in my car with the air card. So, we sat in her car for the next few hours listening to the radio and I introduced her to photobucket!
    She liked the aviation stuff and I have a lot of family stuff there too so I went through a lot of photos.
    Then the night ended and we made plans for Monday night.....METS GAME! Is this a babe or what?
    I was ready to exit the parking lot when I saw her standing by her car, I went next to her and she opened the door and told me her car wouldn't start, battery ran out from the radio being on too long! Thank God I had jumper cables!
    Pretty good first date. And a memorable ending with a "jump start"!

    Oh gawd, you showed her your pretty airplane photos :mrgreen: At least you did the man-thing by giving her a jumpstart :borat:

    Hope you have fun, sounds like a good start & of course, I am messing with you.... :D :lol:
