Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

All very early days but I've no interest in talking to anybody else on OKC. Logged in yesterday to delete it, sent a quick mail to the few I had been talking to saying I'd met somebody whilst wishing them luck.
Like I say, it's early days and I don't like/want to talk too much on here but I've been walking on air recently. Long may it continue!
Always great to hear success stories 0 -

At the risk of repeating myself, I'm still not missing the online dating. All the effort you put into sending loads of mails, getting little or no response, sometimes struggling to come up with something to write in a mail as the person's profile is so devoid of information and personality you are almost trying to create a personality for them, for you to interact with.
Then the whole texting, calling and nervousness before the date and the uncertainty.
I'm not missing it for the time being anyway, I must be about 2 months off the sites at this stage, or at least since I last mailed anyone. I moved my OKCupid profile from disabled to deleted a week or two ago.
Sure if you see it as being an "effort", then of course it's not going to be any fun!
If you're struggling to find anything to say to someone in a mail because they seem to have no personality, then how are you going to have anything to say in real life?! They're obviously not suited to you, so forget mailing them and move on.
I like the nervousness before the date. It's fun, it's a good "butterflies" sort of nervous. And what's the worst that could ever happen, even if it's the worst date ever and you've nothing to say, you could always make your excuses and leave after a couple of hours. It's not a life or death situation (unless your date turns out to be an axe murderer, then your nervousness may be justified. :eek: )
If you hate the whole thing and were getting nothing good out of it, then it's totally understandable that you've given up on it - it obviously just doesn't suit you. Doesn't mean that it can't work out for other people though. You just have to see it as what it is - a bit of fun, and a good way to meet new people. 0 -

It's funny, when I was on those sites I'd rather get ignored than some girl replying saying she's not interested. I suppose sometimes when people say that they can come across as a bit pretentious or snobby. Although I know email/text can convey the wrong impression at times.0 -

Just kiddin'. I'd swear if that James Van Der Beek didn't make my face become associated with that Dawson Leary chap I'd be recognised as the handsome chap I am.
Alas, now women see me and think:

I went on a date last night. He had baked a cake and brought it with him for me. This is the bloke that wants to keep things casual btw.
Not sure what to think about it tbh.
He never baked before in his life, I love baking myself and have loads of pictures up on fb of cakes and stuff I made, which I'm guessing he would have seen.
It was a really nice gesture:)
That's gas!
I've hidden my profile today. May go back to it at some point... when the urge to procrastinate takes over! :pac:
Good luck to everyone with dates over the next while!0 -

Yes, as in the girls get wobbly knees when they see what I look like. Haha.0 -
Decided to join OKC a few weeks back, it’s a nice site but there's not too many on it. POF has a terrible interface in fairness; I actually thought there was something wrong with the site. I only started it using it properly at the weekend, uploaded pics and that. Are most people using the free version of it or what?
Anyway have being chatting to a few on OKC but nothing major, haven't sent out many messages to be honest. POF seems to have better in terms of the numbers but I’m just browsing for the moment.
Katy Perry lookalike, gotta say I’m intrigued given the Zooey Deschanel comparison which people make.
Anyway hopefully it goes well, I’ll keep ye posted I guess. 0 -

A combination of being utterly shattered and drink hitting me way harder and faster than it normally does resulted in me calling my date by the wrong name (she has the name surname as one of my work colleagues and I was midstory about something reminding me of work so out popped the wrong first name).
Still got a second date though. :cool:0 -
