Dear Melissa,

I have been online dating for months, and it feels like I keep meeting the same type of guys over and over. I’m ready to give up! Any advice?

Dear disconnected,

Maybe you should try logging off for a while and going out in the world instead. I feel with online dating, users tend to pick and choose the same type of people over and over again because that is who they are used to dating. They think that is their type. That is why you end up feeling like you’re always meeting the same person. It has been said and proven time and time again that when it comes to love, you always meet people when you’re not looking for them. Trying to force connections to happen based on a profile rarely works out successfully. My advice to you is to put down the computer and pick up a Weekender to see what’s going on in the valley! Your mate is out there.

Melissa
