So what's some things to say on dating sites, what would you like to be asked to start a convo? I try many different things but usually get no replies.

Basically looking at their profile and asking them about things they've said, you know like how did you get into doing that, or what kind of things do you like to do at the weekend/for fun etc.

Leave the 'your place or mine' until the second date.

What are you after in your 'female'?

Well basically someone who is easy-going, comfortable in their own skin, likes finer things in life, and likes to get out and about and see new places and try new things. Defo no drama queens or self-important attitude types!

That seems fair. A lot of people at that age have 'baggage' though. I mean what if she'd been married, kids, career type??

I think you could only answer that yourself by viewing it!

Can the dating sites, they're a waste of time, many of the profiles will be phantom profiles that don't have anyone but the company behind them IMO.....

as someone said earlier......join a walking club or a fitness class or some other hobby that might interest you

A bit of self-critiquing can be very useful.

Mostly though, please try to remember that women are human beings, that's quite important.
