Friend's online dating woes

    Ok, you know when someone is bothered about something and won't say? But you know there's something up...Anyway, my friend was over this evening, we have a Desperate Housewife night most Tues in hers or mine. Ok so sitting there and I knew there was something up but when I asked what it was she couldn't tell me. Half way through D.H. she started crying, not in her character to do this might I add. The problem is simple. She joined an online dating site. Not sure sure I name it here. But it is undergoing a renovation or something and she can't get onto it. Was just at the stage of asking for a guys number and says they got on well. If I could even find out when it will be working again it would be a relief for her. But I have no website for them despite looking online. Any ideas? She's worried she might not be friends with this guy when or even if the website comes back. Sounds sad but she seems really attached to him...

    Ok I'd have thought it a bit odd but in fairness they've built up some sort of friendship. She's not a bunny boiler, she is really lovely but I think has had her fill of local lads and wanted something different. Thanks for all the help

    What you need to do is make your friend drink about 10 or 12 espressos a day, that'll calm her down and make her realise that this sort of thing is A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH!!!!

    Plus - twitchy girls are much more attractive.

    [edit]If the website is down then it'll be down for him too so he won't think she's ignoring him[/edit]

    You apparently suffer from paranoia when the number of stalkers you have is a complex number.

    You're clinically insane if that number doesn't have a real part.

    It wasnt a literal welcoming, it was more of a way to point out that After Hours is rarely, if ever, useful for things like this. Personal Issues would be better if someone wanted some genuine advice. Here you will get "Your ma!", "pics or gtfo" and other random bull****.

    But if Kiera is looking for more stalkers, i've some practise in that area...seriously.

    Leave the OP and her friend alone. Internet dating sites have millions of users so there's no excuse for slating them.

    Hopefully the site will be back up. It's just a matter of patience, really.

    You're friend sounds pretty unstable/desperate/mental to be honest. If that guy she's talking to knew that she was crying because the website was down he'd run a mile. I think it's your duty to tell him! :D

    So what if it has millions of users, what difference does that make? Don't make me Godwin this thread!:pac:

    @Kiera - I can't help but think how you'd react differently if the OP's mate was male...

    Something like this happened to me to. I was getting on grand with this bird on a dating site then it went down. The bitch like! I know it's out of her control seeing as she has nothing to do with the site other than being a member, but she hasn't made any effort to contact me even though she has no other way of contacting me, it's not on!

    I reckon he was gonna go for a simple "just because millions of people do/support something, doesn't make it right. The Nazis had millions of supporters........"

    Only thing different would probably be the accent. Better off going for something battery powered in the meantime. No need for tears, just always have a few 1.5 AAs handy.

    As long as she doesnt meet him down a dark alley way she should be ok, the poor sod will probably be more nervous than her anyways.

    Just a hunch here but, does your friend ever burst out crying on a random night out? Have you ever been on holidays where at least one night has been a big drama with her as star of the show?
