Hi all

Long time lurker and strongly considering on joining POF again, I'm currently on OKC but the numbers on it are tiny and I have messaged those I am interested but had no response back which is disappointing.

Chatting to a guy today, mentioned he was lovely and it was nice to talk to a normal sane person for once on these sites, and he came out with this gem:

Yea I no yea most of the people are from the north side

Seems to be quite serious too!

My first day was a success- turns out loads more people like bigger girls than I assumed. I should be jumping for joy but instead I am worried.

I got the obvious looneys with kinky emails but it's the normal sounding ones that have me apprehensive. Most list keeping fit as their hobbies-why would they want to be with me? I am allergic to exercise. But that's the least of my worries.

My profile pic is from the neck down and many of the guys seemed more interested in the fact that I was african than anything else, and there we have it, I am worried about being anyone's token black date.

This one guy kept on repeating how he likes africans and when I asked him what he finds attractive in a partner, he said dark skin. Really?! Earlier in the conversation, he was a lot nicer so I had agreed to go on a date with him today and now I am really apprehensive. Should I give him a chance or should I just cancel?

I would cancel. I only had one bad internet dating date. i wanted to cancel by felt it would be rude. Sorry I went through with it. Just a waste of time for me (and him).

Today I was in work and got chatting to a customer who comes in regularly. I complimented her on some of the rings she was wearing to which she tells me that one of them is an engagement ring. She was proposed to on christmas day by 'the guy she met online 3 months ago' :eek: This woman is in her 50s and lets just say shes a bit 'eccentric' but 3 months!! Thankfully she said she'd take it as a promise ring or something like that and see how it goes but jaysus that man moved fast :pac:

Had been chatting to a guy everyday for about two weeks. He adds me on Facebook and I mean within 5 mins sends me a message saying that ' I'm a nice girl but things wouldn't work out with us'

I reply to this saying that's kinda random. We hadn't met at all. He says sorry and deletes me as a friend!!!

Laurz he could have recognised friends? Don't take it to heart...

Same here. I actually ask people on my profile not to use text speak. What's amazing is that I do get people who make the effort not to when they read it

It takes a hell of a lot of concentration! Don't feel bad, if it annoys you, it annoys you!
