At this point Joe needs to keep all his options open. Stick with the internet dating sites, expand to a few more, and get out of the f'ing house more! Keep up on the internet dating sites at night or when you otherwise would not be going out, but don't use that as a substitute for real life contact.It's time to walk away from the internet as a dating resource. Let's go old school and step outside and look around. Take tennis or golf lessons or something. Chat up the lovely girl next to you. It isn't that hard.
Joe, from what you describe of NY chicks being completely unapproachable, I sympathize with you on meeting chicks. While living in OR, CA, and FL meeting them was never a problem. After moving to UT, working from home, not knowing a sole, and not wanting to date a Mormon, I turned to the Internet. Lots of meaningless sex for 6 or 8 months before I met someone I wanted to date and it has worked out great. For me e-harmony was worthless. I'll also say what you put in your profile, the free text stuff not the stats and check boxes, makes a big difference. The first 2 or 3 months I got squat, no interest at all. It was the typical, I like this, I like that, I'm looking for this type of girl, etc. Then I completely re-wrote it, made it much shorter and more storylike. Bam, started getting hits, meeting girls, etc. Same pictures, same basic stats, but a different way of describing myself. Be honest, make it edgy, be creative, put in something that will catch their attention and make them remember your profile.
