    Hello.
    I recently joined a dating website. Met a lovely guy, we've been on 1 date, went well. Now he's asking to meet up again.. The website has added a new category where you add ur intent- what ur looking for.. I am looking for a relationship, he has changed his to looking for dating but nothing serious. Do you think I should continue dating him knowing that we're not looking for the same thing? i dread falling for the guy only to be told- ur really nice but not looking for anything serious!!

    Meet up with him and ask him why he put that on his profile. You can then gauge from his reaction if it's something he's willing to compromise on or not

    Personally I would'nt go near a dating site,i've heard alot of woman and men getting used for sex with them and being led up the garden path and being hurt I know this happens in every day life but think people let their gaurd down a bit more on these sites coz a guy says he wants a relationships.I find it too 21 century and that does'nt mean it's always good! I'd rather let plain old destiny take hand when itur time! and suss the guy out my self plus I would'nt trust a guy who was even on a website! I have guy friends who meet girls for sex on them and it's just down right dirty if you ask me! i always use my time when i'm single to have fun with the girls hobbies and holidays and get fit! love finds you! and it will! xxx

    It's on bloody POF isn't it? Really wish they hadn't made answering that statement compulsory as there are some people you wouldn't mind having a bit of fun with and not get into anything serious but of course be open to being swept off your feet and getting into a relationship with the right guy if he comes along! Very annoying!

    My advice is to go out with him again but not to sleep with him. Hold off on doing the deed until you've had a few dates and got to know him better. If he is only looking for someone to have a quick shag with then you'll soon find out if he goes awol when you don't put out.

    Go out with him again. He might have just clicked that so girls who were looking to settle down straight away wouldnt contact him.

    Good advice, thanx guys. I am gona meet him again. Yes it is on POF! Personally I dopn't agree that dating sites are full of weird guys, some of my male friends are on them and I think they'd be a great catch for some lucky girl! Agreed they should be approached with caution but they ain't all bad and its usually easy enough to weed out hte bad ones. He's not just lookin for sex because he asks to meet during the evening for a meal and won't keep me out late. Surely if he wanted just sex we'd be going for lots of drinks... Maybe I'm being naive..
