Honestly, it sounds like you're trying too hard to second guess her. If she doesn't appreciate the little gestures you make to make things easier for her, then she doesn't really deserve you. It's the little things that make people special, so it's her loss if she sees them as negatives.
Multiquote is little button beside quote

Was it Jake Gylenhaal, by any chance?

I know no woman who thinks or talk like that. She sounds like a girl not a woman!
I would say yes, women do want nice guys (and the ones that want bastards actually need a good counsellor) but we don't want walk overs. Considerate can sound like desperate if you aren't careful. If she wants to meet you again then she should be willing to do part or all of the travelling to meet you. If she lives too far away or can't/won't travel then you will end up resenting it.tatumkelly wrote: »Hate when you've been chatting to someone who seems really nice, and then he announces he's just looking for 'fun' :rolleyes:
Which is why I bite the bullet and ask what they are looking for. I'm too old and impatient to wait for it to come up in conversation.http://www.pof.com/success_view.aspx?id=1979
Just logged out of pof and this was the success story....WTF?!! :eek::eek:
There is hope for us all! And to think I worry about having unflattering photos of myself on my phone... Their photo has put my mind at ease
Is using Jake DiningHalls photo any worse than using a photo of a dog? Both are clearly not of the person on the other end of the profile.0 -

Right, I've been very bored by what POF is turning up. Nothing but messages saying "Hiya" which is wrrrrrecking my head particularly since I actually gave loads of info on my profile and requested people avoid the two word intro messages..unless those words are a combination of "Free" "beer" or "Steak"!
I can make exceptions if their profile is interesting (or if they are very hot!:P). But nothing worse than seeing a few messages pop into the mailbox having a gander and being let down!
OKC is just full of Americans..attractive + literate but...IN AMERICA! So no use.
I'm giving beautifulpeople.com a go. My reasons are not entirely shallow. My reasons are that what I want from a date is a pretty girl, who can hold a conversation and that can have the banter.
With beautifulpeople.com you submit a (suitably poserish pic..admit it we've all got that one pic that you're embarassed to put elsewhere!) pic and get voted in by other users over a day or 2. (Also when your accepted, you have to submit a verification photo with your username and todays date, so it means there are no fake pics / one good photoshopped pic).
So that means no time is wasted! On someone you mightn't be attracted to. It also means your up against stiff competition that will lower your odds! But hey thats when you bring your A game and work at a message etc. as if a girl has load of lads that are pleasing on the eye messaging her "hiya" the interesting message will stand out????
Well thats my theory anyway, its only my first day on it! Anyone been on it?
Also liking this thread of similar minded folk. As if you were to spout this kind of stuff to the average, non-internety types about not being on just 1 dating site..but 3! They'd think you are desperate..I'm not! I'm just too feckin busy, to trawl coppers only to find your arm candy turns out to be dim and boring in the harsh ligh of day.0 -
I'd agree with you Galvasean. That would freak me and make me run for the hills but different strokes for different folks I guess :-)0 -

TBH, I don't know that a guy would know my surname after 3 dates, never mind where I work! And it would freak me out if someone sent me flowers in work.0 -

sent me flowers to the office. Pity I didn't fancy him, because he really was a lovely, lovely guy.
