Don't have the confidence for online dating.

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

Some very pretty girls on that site.

Both of you, try it out!

If you're not in it you can't win it

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

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

He must think you came up the liffy in a bubble.

Even if your ex was nuts you'd hardly spur them on by telling them you love them.

Thats what I thought - so Im not being unreasonable then?

You've got to do what you feel is right. Text messages can be misleading but you went with your gut and that's probably the right thing to do.

Well maybe he is in fact with her. He wouldn't be the first person in a relationship to use an online dating site :mad: Dovies, I don't think you overreacted at all. Whatever way you look at it, his explanation for that text is full of holes.

Not all. You would know best to be honest. If it wasn't that serious then it shouldn't be a big deal and your gut instinct was right...

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....

No. I'm female and I certainly don't think like that. I don't reply if I'm not interested or if I feel we would not be compatible. From experience sending a polite reply to say thanks but no thanks just leads to abuse or begging!

No. That's the right way to do it.

Not at all. I think focusing on one person at a time is good.

Dear God NO. You did not over-react at all. I'd do the exact same in your shoes

Dravokivich · 06-01-2012 12:29pm

Checked out Connecting Singles seeing as it was being mentioned last night. Bloody heck that site is a sight for sore eyes. The layout of it is terrible.

AnnyHallsal · 06-01-2012 12:37pm

Dovies, I think that could be the worst yet :eek:

Talk about an unfortunate message to misdirect :eek:

But good for you though, he's clearly up to his eyeballs in baggage as it is.

That_Guy · 06-01-2012 1:46pm

A lady that plays drums on POF. I are intrigued.

Pfft, my ex texted me yesterday. I didn't text her back I CERTAINLY didn't tell her that I loved her!

While I don't like using my 'gut instinct' to make decisions (guts are for making poo, not thinking), you made the right call. If he's lying he's a liar and that's no good. If he's telling the truth he's got that 'emotional baggage' which is never fun either. So either way you did right to kick him into touch.

I used to know two girls from school that played drums. They were both fit and quite sound. Ergo, this one must be fit and quite sound too. Go for it.

I sent her a message with the title, "Fancy a bang...."

And the body started with:

... of my drums. I see you're a drummer too. etc etc etc

EDIT: She's probably too afraid to open the message. :pac:

Should really stop being so suggestive. My tagline is "Just sticking my rod out there" :pac:

AnnyHallsal · 06-01-2012 2:48pm

I hope the "...." saves it for you. Pervs don't do ellipses. Well the illiterate ones anyway :pac:

That_Guy · 06-01-2012 4:03pm

No reply...

Was half thinking about sending her another message saying,

"By the way, I promise you that the last message I sent doesn't contain a picture of my cawk"

No wonder I'm having no such luck with this dating lark.

Back to the drawing board

Give it some time before you start getting so worried

There's gotta be a site that caters specifically for people like you.

And if you know it, can I have the name?

I want a date!! (just one! without sounding toooo desperate

I seem to be encountering a lot of women who have just been through bad break-ups and aren't ready for anything serious. It just makes me wonder why on Earth they're on a dating site if this is the case.

Balobas87 · 06-01-2012 6:59pm

sooooo i set up another account on pof, last time i was on it for a week before i deleted, tbh i got sick of looking through pages and pages and decided to let whoever mail me :rolleyes: i didnt get a great response from any guys:D

Sooooo anyone nice and v experienced POF'rs want to review my profile pretty please???:) be ace to get some advice on it!!

Probs to massage their egos and get some confidence back....crap i no!! i had a few of those, granted they were male, the last time i joined :rolleyes:

We need to have a inbuilt radar for em!!

What really annoys me is the "Meet Me" feature on POF. If you want to meet me, send me a message!

JennyBurke101 · 06-01-2012 8:49pm

All this talk I am seriously thinking of joining one!!!! Imagine Michael Fassbender could have a fake profile ...he will send me a message and we will fall in love *sigh* ...or you know I COULD meet a real guy and not be sitting on boards.ie on a Friday night
