    Been about 3 weeks since I reactivated my profile. I've written thought out funny complimentary mails to about 40 girls. Not one reply. Really encourages you to keep going eh?

    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 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
