ya i think the 'casual' approach of bringing it up sounds good..;)0 -
good for you!
i met my guy on connecting singles, my first time ever trying that site.. we're dating about 6 weeks and have confirmed bf/gf status
but im just wondering when is it an acceptable time to bring up closing down the accounts on the site? without sounding too forward or whatever..
I would have thought when you had the conversation confirming bf/gf status would have been a good time. It wouldn't be right for either of you to be still using a dating site if when in a relationship.0 -
casual's good, havent had any specific talk about exclusiveness as such... I had simply closed my pof account few days earlier, dating sites somehow came up while chatting and just mentioned to her that I had closed mine coz wasnt using it anymore, she smilingly asked was it because i'd met someone i really liked
yep (with big grin on own face)... herself :pac::pac:
She mentioned she'd close hers too as wasnt using it anymore either.... dont feel any need to check that, simply because i really like this girl and completely trust her
yup yup, skippy's got da butterflies bad :pac::D:)0 -

EDIT: Maybe I am wrong on arrange a date ASAP. Imagine the pure arkwardness if there was originally no spark, jaysis.Think it's best to move quickly on the date - after all, there could be competition But really more about the fact that you won't know if there is a real spark until a real-life meeting. In fact, the prospect of meeting up can give the online interactions that bit more spark
Yep, if you are messaging each other most days, ask the person out within a week. Otherwise you're dragging things out, PLUS you may not be the only person they are in contact with. Ya snooze ya lose!wobblyknees wrote: »Well, I have to say, that was much more than just enjoyable. She is really lovely and I think we have pretty much agreed to meet again.
Delighted for you. Great news.Alas, 'tiz one of the great mysteries of online dating. I've lost count of the amount of people I've been chatting to who agreed provisionally to go on a date/meet for coffee or whatever, even exchanged numbers with only for them to disappear off the radar and cease all contact with me before said date could occur.
Ze mind, she boggles! :pac:
Best thing you can do really is not to get too excited when chatting to people, that way if they do disappear on you it's no biggie. Just focus your time/effort on someone else. It can be frustrating by times, but there aint nothin' ya can do about it.
I'd say in most cases the other person has met someone else.good for you!

I'd casually bring up that you've closed your account so tell him not to keep sending you flowers etc.
Ooh, lots of successes lately on here. Good work guys. 0 -

Just a follow up on date I was concerned about:I since spoke to her and mentioned best way I could at the weekend that I didnt think we were compatible etc.., got a dose of abusive messages middle of following night. Correct call, sorry she has my number now
hopefully wont happen every weekend until she finds someone else, may be something to said at having a second pay as you go phone for this lark

Wowee, cant say I've ever encountered this before. Hope it blows over and she kops onto herself.0 -

Hopefully she'll lose interest in the texting soon enough. Don't let it put you off online dating. Not everyone is like that.0 -
