    Hi there,

    Hope you don't mind if I join in here. Have really enjoyed reading some of the posts. Am so glad that it's not just me who finds the whole online thing a minefield!

    Thought I had hit the jackpot when first guy seemed great. We emailed everyday for a week and then arranged phone call which never happened and zero contact since. The going suddenly cold thing is a pain but guess to be expected!

    One thing about internet can disguise poor social skills easily. Was in touch with this guy who seemed well rounded, lots of interests etc but when we met he was as dull as dish water, with nothing to say for himself! Heart sank, zero social skills.

    All in all a mixed bag. Keep expectations low!

    The awkward moment when one of your best friends' little sister views your POF profile...

    No no no, girls look at your profile when they're interested in the hope that you mail them back. Boys send 17 messages when interested in a girl. That's how it works!

    More like, "Hello potentially cute thumbnail girl.. let's have a looksie... ah no!"
    Like when someone you went out with before changes their profiler and you don't realise it's them and then you look all stalkery >_<

    Yeah I must look like a total stalker as whenever bored in meetings in work or work in general I sit back and look at profiles on my phone for a bit of a browse, so many people change their photos regularly enough that I don't realise I have already seen their profile before I open it up. I must have checked out some profiles a couple of times a week by accident. :o

    Rather entertaining date last night with someone I didn't have high hopes for but turned out to be both better-looking and nicer than he'd seemed online. It was only a quick drink as he had to be somewhere else after but there was lots of flirting and a bit of a kiss from him at the end- admittedly very soon but pulled off in such a light-hearted and cheeky way it made me laugh:D No firm plans to meet again but I'm sure we will be...

    Got rather excited yesterday at having 2 new messages- checked them and one is from a guy I ill-advisedly kissed at a party 3 years ago (and still shudder at the thought of) and the other was from the guy my friend is currently dating:rolleyes: Gah.

    Ah why do people use sites like that if they're in a relationship :rolleyes: Cheaters disgust me.... I'd be happy out with one gorgeous, rich, funny, charming heir to the throne... simple tastes :o

    I came across my best friend's boyfriend on the site before, I'd only met him twice at this stage so he didn't recognise me and mailed me. I rang my friend so fast!!! :eek:

    I've a picture of me with 3 other mates and rarely get many replies, do people generally reply to users who have a picture of just themselves more?
