    So, the guy I had the lovely date with last week and then met for coffee 3 days later seems to have just lost interest:rolleyes:

    He sent a text both days after the 1st date which I replied to but it didn't evolve into a chat, then he texted me after the coffee date to apologise for being crap company (he was hungover), to which I replied that he should let me know when he's free if he wants to go out again. Haven't heard anything since and that was a week ago so presuming he's just not interested! It is rude though, especially when you've met someone more than once, to not let them know you don't want to see them again. I don't particularly mind if he's not bothered (I have other dates on the cards:D) but I presumed after we had a great date (and he kept talking about things we should do next time) and then met up again that he was at least a bit into me???

    He did talk about being very busy this week and may just be playing it cool but I'd like to know either way! Won't send another message though as the ball is in his court now and he knows how to contact me if he wants.

    I'm a week into online dating now, I sent out a good few messages, received three replies, bit of messaging going back and forth, one of which I think will lead to a date.

    I logged in today and someone who i hadn't messaged had sent a message to me , i was smiling like a total sap for about hour afterwards, its amazing the little ego boosts you can get from this.

    So hopefully at least one date will come out of this initial foray! I'll be back on to report if it does:)

    Haha, nah told the agent to give my slot to someone else. I'm buggering of out of teh country for a week and then have a bunch of projects lined up to keep me busy so I probably wouldn't be available for the shoot anyway. The BBC can find someone else to play an art student! (didn't I retire from acting ages ago??? For that matter, when did i get an agent???)

    Hey guys, great thread! Have had a few profiles up on different sites for a while now but probably haven’t put much effort into it so nothing has come of them.

    I think I could do with refreshing them up a bit and giving it another go. So would any of the kind ladies care to have a look at my profiles (pof & okc) and suggest any improvement it would be greatly appreciated. pm for links, ta :)

    Hi al,

    So I messaged a guy last weel and didnt hear anything back. Then today i got this


    thanks for messaging me. Sorry I took so long to get back. I was moving house last weekend so
    things are still in a bit of a heap. I'm not too sure about this world being honest. Haven't had much
    luck lately but maybe that will change.


    Feels kinda negative or soemthing?

    Is that all he said? Did he not engauge in any other chat? I would leave it to be honest as it seems like he might have just been polite by replying to you.

    Just got the following text off tonight's date:

    "Hi Honey-ec, sorry but I got a knock last night on my ankle and I can't even stand on it, never mind walk... was gonna see if it went down, but it didn't. Can we postpone our gathering, as I really do wanna meet ya?"

    I'm so p!ssed off. I wouldn't mind, but I actually texted him last night saying "Right, last chance for either of us to back out of tomorrow, so if you're going to be washing your hair/bailing a friend out of jail, now's the time to say it", and he replied with "Ha ha, Honey-ec, I'm all set but I like your style..."

    No blinkin' mention of an injured ankle then, and that was at 10pm.

    I think I'm done with the whole online dating thing, folks...

    He rang me there about an hour ago, all apologies and saying he definitely wants to meet, but no mention of when.

    Next!

    Doesn't sound like a fob off to me Honey. especially if he's ringing you. the reality is if he's hurt, he may not know when he'll be better.

    I agree!

    If I was fobbing someone off I most defo would NOT ring the person, harder to lie over the phone...

    What's the harm in leaving it up?

    You never know!

    Get someone to look over it maybe?

    I already had someone look over it, between 19 year olds messaging me(im 24) and only getting matches in Galway(Im in Cork) and the only person I ever met on there, it all went very badly:(

    Nah, you get sick of being given the run around and what not! It is quite dis-heartening! Messaging people and then bam, they stop messaging for no fooking reason! :mad:

    See I think it all goes back to the fact that there is a reem of people to choose from online. People will message for a while and then decide they like the look/sound of someone else so focus their attention on them instead and you're forgotten about. And they don't care to tell you they're not interested any more because well, why should they. :rolleyes: It makes people arseholes is what it does.

    Boo.

    On a lighter note, I've been messaging a very funny guy who I am hoping to meet up with next week once I get all this college work out of the way. :)

    But Im getting NO messages, loads of people apparently viewing my
    profile, but nada, its one way to make you feel very unattractive.

    I hate it when I get an email from "POF". I think "woohoo", and then when I open it:

    "New matches this week...."

    Feckers! :D

    I think its really important to take a break from internet dating every now and again, so you don't turn into a moody cow.
    A few months back I was getting really depressed about the fact that no one messaged me, and the people I messaged seemed to have zero interest. It can be really demoralising. It's important to take a break for a month or so, to recharge your dating batteries and remind yourself that the internet is not the be all and end all of dating :)

    dont feel sorry for yourself, its not healthy..instead look at the things your doing wrong potentially, choice of pictures, is your profile interesting enough, are you trying too hard to impress someone with it or your messages?
    theirs always room for improvement, if somethings not working, nothing to lose by changing it up a bit...
    hope this helps :)
