    Right,

    Looking for advice here. Seriously considering giving this online dating malark a go. I'm 25, just arrived back in Ireland after 16 months away and I'm just wondering should I just see how life is in general before I try the online dating?

    I only came home there in December after time abroad, I'm giving it a bash.

    That's some reasons why i don't even bother. I've only sent about four messages out. I'm there if someone messages me i will message them back if they took time to compose a decent message.

    I think girls just want the compliments ...I am not actually joking .... Its like look "Look, this funny, smart guy sent me a message, this has stroked my ego, I feel good about myself now, I wont reply, but when I feel down I will come back and look at that message"...and that is the female mind....

    why do people assume you have to have failed at normal life before attempting online dating? :/

    Nah not that at all. More, should I wait to settle back into things before trying to start meeting people etc etc

    Hell no.
    I'd rather get one message from a nice guy than 10 "u so sexi bbz" copy and paste jobs.

    I remember mailing a girl who responded emphatically along the lines of, "Thanks for the lovely message.
    You've made my day!"
    I followed up the message and she never replied. I guess I just gave her a pick me up when she was having 'a sad' :rolleyes:

    I'm somewhat in the same boat. But I'll not turn down an opportunity to meet a lovely lady who has similar interests, outlooks etc :) It just takes a bit of effort

    I changed my location to London on POF, it's doesnt seem to be coping with the change at all, it either thinks I'm at home or in the North :confused:

    Oh no. Was it really that bad? I must be really old fashioned because I wouldn't dream of juggling a couple of dates, in fact even though I've only arranged a second date for this weekend, I've already switched off from the websites. I just think its best to focus on one person at a time and give things a chance. Does this seem weird to anyone else?

    Juggling a couple of dates I can cope with - do it myself. HOWEVER, he sent me a text last night addressed to someone else telling her he loved her!! :eek:
    No it wasn't his sister, mother etc. He tried to tell me it was his ex and he had to say that as she is insane and keeps texting him!! Eh I didnt fall off the banana boat yesterday! Even if he is telling the truth that kind of baggage I can do without! SO THERE! :P
