Unfortunately I think some people take rejection or lack of success very personally and then take their frustration out on whoever is online. Which only guarantees that they will continue to fail but anyway :rolleyes: Block him and forget himyeahimhere wrote: »Oh wow, he seems charming;

Lovely.
Seriously though, what was his point of sending that message!? I just don't get it. hmmm maybe I should go back to a private profile picture.

Oh brilliant! "Worth a go"? You've been giving out about no dates for ages :P That's great newsMr_Spaceman wrote: »In other news, it seems like I have a date on Wednesday.
Worth a go, I guess! 0 -

Getting nowhere here, except close to the world record for the amount of blanks I'm getting. I'm not massively bothered about it, it's kind of become funny actually.
I reckon I might axe my profile soon and try and take an extended break from online dating. I'd like to think I might meet someone in the real world and start seeing them but it's never happened before though!

Its just a bad patch you are going through , I find it seems to be like that for awhile and then I get a reply and then I'm messaging 10 people at the same time . Right now I'll keep browsing but it will go on the back burner for X-mas.0 -

You should. I never meet anyone in the real world either (in fact, I'd say it's nearly 5 years since that happened), would actually much prefer to meet someone just randomly, than via OD.
Plus less time on OD is more time for getting involved in other interesting activities. I'm gonna get out there more and just go meet some new people in general.0 -

Or rant about it on their profile. Too many OD users with a chip on their shoulder I reckon.0 -

Don't even know if nervous is the right word to describe it... Gonna just look at it as a bit of banter before Christmas.
I've a date this evening and I feel like this too! Although I know my nervousness will only increase as the day goes on. Trying to remind myself that it's only a few Christmas drinks.0 -
I've two dates lined up this week. Bit nervous about them as it's been a while. Don't even know if nervous is the right word to describe it... Gonna just look at it as a bit of banter before Christmas.
Good luck! That's exactly the right attitude and the way I treat them. Go in with no expectations, as you won't know beforehand if there'll be chemistry, if you'll fancy them in real life - if they'll even look anything like their profile pic!
So treating it as a bit of banter and a few drinks with someone who seems interesting and cool is the only way to go 0 -

Yeah, I'm at OD long enough (:o) to know how to approach it. I'll be around town so fitting them in with other stuff on. 0 -

That's a good idea. Nothing worse than when you head out for the sole purpose of a date and it doesn't go well. Always good to have a backup plan.
Hmmm, everyone seems to be doing pretty well. Think I'll log in for a wee bit...0 -

Yeah fingers crossed we will get on as well in real life as we do online! I've had my share of awkward first datesSure if you have a fun.evening that's pretty good and it sounds like ye get on well
10 years. I'm not normally too bothered by age gaps but 10 years is a lot I think. Anyway we'll see.How big is the age gap?? I really wouldn't worry about age.0 -

That's the spirit! And it's exactly how I will approach my date on Wednesday.
There's nothing to lose, as a pessimist is never disappointed!Yeah, I'm at OD long enough (:o) to know how to approach it. I'll be around town so fitting them in with other stuff on.
Good thinking, Lari. I'll be mooching out and about London during the day doing stuff before my date.That's a good idea. Nothing worse than when you head out for the sole purpose of a date and it doesn't go well. Always good to have a backup plan.

I saw a profile of a girl I knew from somewhere but couldnt quite place her, I decided to hold off on messaging her until I figured it out a few days later I twigged it was by Boss's ex.0 -
