Why do dating sites have so many flakes? I’ve posted profiles on several and most of what I get back is weirdos or people who seem interesting and then flake. Is it me or what?

When fishermen cast huge nets, they pull up a lot of old tires. The same goes with dating sites. You cast a wide net, but you also pay the price. People who are serious about meeting a special someone and use dating sites generally say that you have to persevere and sift through the equivalent of lots of junk mail to find decent prospects.
Now about people who seem interesting and then flake out, many folks who play with dating sites are not there to actually meet people. They’re there only to see if they attract any interest. When they do, they string you along for a while, but as soon as you suggest phoning or meeting, they disappear. This, too, is par for the course.
All I can advise is to hang in there. Keep trying and you just might meet someone.
The alternative is to go the traditional route: introductions through friends, blind dates, and activities you enjoy. You cast a smaller net, but you’re less likely to pull up tires. Good luck!
