Friend's online dating woes

gaeilgegrinds · 14-01-2009 01:08AM #1

Ok, you know when someone is bothered about something and won't say? But you know there's something up...Anyway, my friend was over this evening, we have a Desperate Housewife night most Tues in hers or mine. Ok so sitting there and I knew there was something up but when I asked what it was she couldn't tell me. Half way through D.H. she started crying, not in her character to do this might I add. The problem is simple. She joined an online dating site. Not sure sure I name it here. But it is undergoing a renovation or something and she can't get onto it. Was just at the stage of asking for a guys number and says they got on well. If I could even find out when it will be working again it would be a relief for her. But I have no website for them despite looking online. Any ideas? She's worried she might not be friends with this guy when or even if the website comes back. Sounds sad but she seems really attached to him...

No she resorted to using a dating website....hi-ooooooooooo.

Also she sounds like a loon.

Crying over someone she never met - now that is sad

FFS lads relax. It was just a question. No need to slate her! :mad:

Hi and welcome to After Hours.

gaeilgegrinds · 14-01-2009 01:18AM

Ok I'd have thought it a bit odd but in fairness they've built up some sort of friendship. She's not a bunny boiler, she is really lovely but I think has had her fill of local lads and wanted something different. Thanks for all the help

What you need to do is make your friend drink about 10 or 12 espressos a day, that'll calm her down and make her realise that this sort of thing is A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH!!!!

Plus - twitchy girls are much more attractive.

[edit]If the website is down then it'll be down for him too so he won't think she's ignoring him[/edit]

One can never have too many stalkers

Dave! · 14-01-2009 01:30AM

So is she hot or what???

Post up pics and she may just find the man of her dreams !

You apparently suffer from paranoia when the number of stalkers you have is a complex number.

You're clinically insane if that number doesn't have a real part.

It wasnt a literal welcoming, it was more of a way to point out that After Hours is rarely, if ever, useful for things like this. Personal Issues would be better if someone wanted some genuine advice. Here you will get "Your ma!", "pics or gtfo" and other random bull****.

But if Kiera is looking for more stalkers, i've some practise in that area...seriously.

Ah Kiith, if you need to explain it..........

As for the stalker comment. Do you mind if i pass on your offer?

OP, does your friend like scary movies?

Ass · 14-01-2009 02:26AM

Solution: Ride her yourself.

FGR · 14-01-2009 05:42AM

Leave the OP and her friend alone. Internet dating sites have millions of users so there's no excuse for slating them.

Hopefully the site will be back up. It's just a matter of patience, really.
