It's not as emotionally draining. It can be really hard to reject someone, it's much easier to just ignore them. So, anyway...chill a little, dude, take a deep breath, and dive back in.

Now, as to all that work you put into your messages...that could have been part of the problem. You were coming off as WAAAAY too interested. Desperate, even. Chicks don't like desperate, that means you have nothing to offer. And we are looking for the man with the most to offer...

Ok, here's an idea. I'm sure you spent a ton of time on your profile, made sure everything was nice and perfect. Delete that. Write in the craziest things you can think of (that are still true). For example, you like to watch tv shows about sharks, or something. Just wierd and crazy and totally out there. It'll be way more likely to get responses than just another vanilla "I like walks on the beach, blah, blah, blah."
