I know. It's been quite a while since I met a man who didn't treat me like crap. I guess I came over all needy. Well I've only gone and made a mess of it. There is nothing I can do.

Look, if you managed to meet him, you'll meet other decent fellas. Chin up, this is experience, it will work out better next time

OK... (remembering my ongoing direction to follow my own ass vice)... you went a little over the top. 6 weeks isn't long enough to call it anything, certainly not to warrant closure.

I think closure is fair enough after 6 weeks. If u are texting every day and meeting up very regularly and it stops suddenly I think it's fair to want to know why. Just my 2 cents worth. That may not be what happened in this situation.

Well I've found my new talent... It's getting dumped by text. Wonder should i list that on my dating profiles... Just got the whole it's not you it's me routine there by text with emphasis on his heart not in it but while he's simultaneously logged onto the dating site!! It was very early days but I keep meeting the same type of guy!! Think it's time to take a break from it

Yes that's what it was like. I genuinely liked him, and was very attracted to him. I miss his texts in the morning and our conversations. I am very surprised at how this is bothering me so much! But yeah 'what's for me won't pass me'

Ah that old chestnut! I have heard it many times before. Early days or not that was disrespectful. I feel a 'Miley' moment coming on; 'Well HOLY GOD'!:p. Maybe a break would be a good idea. You can become very cynical and exasperated with the whole dating game.

No expectations is the best approach to dating.
Never think that someone is too good for you.
She or he might be totally gorgeous but inside they could be rotten to the core.
Especially the types with the schowl or angry pout who thinks looking like a trout makes them beautiful 'yes LOL its you the wannabe super model I'm talking about"

There is nothing better than being a good down to earth guy or woman and and seeing through these superficial profiles, its the normal down to earth happy people who will have luck in the dating game not the egos....

NOT YOU THE ONE WHO POUTS AND IS ONLY ON THE SITE BECAUSE YOUR SO INSECURE YOU HAVE TO GO ON ABOUT ALL YOUR ADMIRERS AND DATE PROPOSALS AND PEOPLE TELLING YOU YOUR GORGEOUS :S



So if you feel left down after a date with a knob or knobbette.

Be glad your on your own because if you ended up with one of those "YOU WILL FEEL A HUNDRED TIMES MORE LONELY BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER BE GOOD ENOUGH"

Had a guy start a message with:

'You seem interesting; prove me wrong'

Eh... you want me to prove to you that I'm not interesting?

Ah no that sucks I've had that text before. One guy I went on a date with was stringing me along for a week after we met telling me he wanted to meet up again organizing it and then on the day we were meant to meet again he texts me 'oh my heads not in it still not over my ex' while still logging into Pof. Seriously mate I'm not stupid I don't get it why guys can't just tell you the truth.

Girls can be just as bad to be honest. Id a girl text me about an hour or two after our date. said she had a lovely time and couldnt wait to meet up again. We organised a 2nd date, had it, went really well and again later said yeah defo cant wait to do it again it was fun. Text for a bout a week or two all very good. Mentioning about meeting up and doing something together then no response to texts at all, Not even a sorry but no thanks. Human species are weird "throw rocks at them"

Ha I got that too!!!

I replied "Ooh now let me see..... Eh.. no.. YOU'RE not interesting enough for me to bother trying to explain to you the flaw in that statement"

I'm getting very grumpy in my old age :mad:

KamiKazeKitten

So...any dates/stalkers for any of ye right now?

That_Guy

Business as usual.

I'm supposed to have a date, but not sure now!

Story was - got talking to a guy, he seemed nice, conversation was good. He asked me out, I explained that I'm up the walls for the next week with work related stuff, really apologetic, but said I'd definitely like to next week. He said that was fine. Chatted some more, he gave me his number (and sent me one of those rose things on POF lol), and we've texted a little bit. I texted him last night to say that I should be free next week on such and such days if he still wants to get a drink. No reply as of yet.

:pac:

I suppose I refused so many dates, I should be cancelled on, too. Karma!

You mean all that build up, expectation and anxiety over what was going to happen and it ends in this anti-climax?

Matches my online dating experience perfectly. :pac:

Since there has been no reply you might as well arrange a date with someone else for the free slot, then the first guy will call you back and apologise profusely and want to go on the date and you will be forced to engage in some sort of Rom-Com two dates at the same place fiasco, it will be awesome, 90's movies wouldn't lie to me would they?

No date, just the one girl who has mailed me 3 times in a row (without me responding asking me how my day was. I would have responded to the 1st mail at least to be nice, but I hadn't time so when I got the 2nd one the next day I thought, hmmmmm now I got a 3rd and I am not going to respond now.

Herrick

Oh ffs, one of my mates was just showing me a convo on PoF he had with a girl.

He sent:

Hi! I'm x. I've made a bet with myself that you fell of that swing in your pic :P

Her response:

Get a life

What a bitch. Let me make it clear he's one of the normal fella's, decent photos and profile. Not the type for dodgy PM's or pics at all. I mean you could understand her reply if he messaged her asking for a ONS or something.

I had thoughts about trying online dating again in the near future after breaking up with my ex a couple of months ago, but I don't know if I can be arsed sorting through knobettes like that again, not to mention the timewasters, etc.

I don't get the "fell off that swing" and it could be taken as kinda mean!
