I recall I had a smooch account for a while. Got mailing a girl for a bit. When I got round to asking if she's like to meet up for a coffee she responded, "Oh i dont date guys from the internet". the mind, she boggles!
She was on an ONLINE dating site and she said she didn't want to met people from the internet??? She deserves a slap!0 -

"where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?!!"
This experience hasn't been the best at all at all. I've sent and replied to messages and have got no replies. I have a heap of guys from all around the country who want to 'meet me' If you want to to meet me that badly why the hell don't you send me a message! :mad::(:mad: 0 -

just been catching up on the thread and I notice several themes recurring:
the he/she viewed me, so i messaged and they're not replying.... everyone clicks on profiles based on a thumbnail, no matter how sophisticated their search criteria. Clicking a thumbnail does not mean they are interested, just curious
When I was active I must have clicked at least a thousand different profiles and passed on 990 of them without sending so much as a 'hi' mail. Does not mean I broke 990 hearts does it, even if I visited their profile again due to new pics, etc. Ask yourself how many profiles you've visited and have you broken their heart for checking them out but not contacting? No ofcourse not, so dont take it to heart if someones visits your profile and doesnt message.
AFAIK the 'who viewed me' page on PoF lists the people who viewed your profile at some time, the bar at the top lists users who once viewed you, ordered by their last online activity....... the clue is 'online activity', if someone constantly shows up in that list does not mean they keep viewing that profile just that they're signed into PoF. Also on PoF you can turn off if someone can see that you've visited their profile at all so they wont show up at all.
The 'meet me' feature is only a clone of the original 'hotornot' website, people use it to browse larger versions of the thumbnail pics and 'rate' them.... there is no point in reading anything more into it, as there simply isn't anything.
Unfortunately being ignored after 1 or 2 dates is par for the course these days (both online and IRL dating) as common courtesy seems to be disappearing. It sucks but if someone is an a$$hole that early on then best of without them anyway.
The best way IMO to approach online dating is to not take it too seriously, life is too short I've been there and used to fret over who viewed me, if/when were they online, why havent they replied to my cute message and so on. Once I developed a thicker skin, ignored the ignorant ones and took online dating for what it really is: just another way to meet people (including pr!cks, etc same as in IRL), I met the most wonderful girl through PoF :)
Sorry for long post

This should be posted at the start of this thread. Or before you log onto these dating sites. 0 -
