Search Results: online dating problems

So I finally got the guts to meet up with a guy from Tinder. I had extremely low expectations, as I have done online dating before and never really had any luck. However when we met, there was an immediate spark. We had loads of fun, talked and laughed and drank and kissed, and he asked for my number. 2 days later he asked me out again, so I agreed and we went to a concert. Again it was a lot of fun. We both got pretty drunk and were just being silly and joking around with each other. We kissed a lot and he complimented me on my skills. He told me a lot about his family. He comes from a conservative Christian background but had left the church a few years back. He had work early the next morning, so we had to leave the show a bit early however he asked me if I wanted to come back to his place and that I could sleep in after he left and just leave when I pleased. I knew I wasn't ready to have sex with him yet but I didn't see the harm in sleeping there without having sex. So I went. We had a hilarious cab ride home, me and the taxi driver ended up singing to each other! Lol. Anyway, we were making out in his bed and he stopped and asked if he could be honest with me. He said he wanted to have sex but didn't feel it was the right time. Obviously I was relieved and told him it was totally cool. We went to bed, he kissed me before he left for work in the morning. I made his bed before I left and he texted me later that day saying "sorry we had to leave the show early. I had a great time. Thanks for making my bed! :) you're the best." I replied with "no problem!" And now I haven't heard from him all week. What gives? Is he not interested? Is he embarrassed? Should I reach out or just let it go?

I've been single for 3 years now, and I'm ready to jump back into the dating scene. The only problem is that I'm pretty shy, so it's hard for me to actually meet guys on campus.

I've been tossing around the idea of making a dating profile through OkCupid (if there are better sites then please let me know). I kind of feel like resorting to online dating is almost like admitting defeat, or admitting I'm desperate. I'm not looking for a soul mate right now. I'm just interested in meeting some cool people that I hopefully hit it off with.

So, what do you think? Should I be embarrassed for wanting to make a profile? Is it a bad idea?
