    For the record, I'm not a skeleton, but not huge at all. Either way, I'm a bit shocked that people act like that. Also this guy is 49! Surely he should be a bit more mature?

    Id think if something to say back to him then block him so he cant reply back, tosser :rolleyes:

    OKC looks better than POF.

    Apparently if you answer the questions you get more views too.

    Might as well so!

    I had my OKC account before my PoF and i find it hard going back to it cus it really just feels empty, there just isnt anywhere near the same amount of active accounts.

    Fairly crazy stuff happening out there alright.

    A girl was telling me that some bloke she ignored setup an alt profile with pictures of "hotter men" then the original profile in an attempt to catch her out.

    Fecking madness.

    Still haven't had that second date yet. It's been just over a week now. Keep having to reschedule because of work (I've been working seriously unsociable hours lately and its buggering me right off!). I feel like such an a-hole having had to reschedule on the poor girl twice. We're penciled in for Sunday evening now. I admire her patience for being willing to wait 2 weeks between dates.

    A bit of a conundrum- I want to meet people but I also don't believe that I can have a successful relationship with someone without first being friends. Proper friends that is. So my intent says dating for relationship but the moment I tell mutual interests that I would like to test out a friendship first- communication is terminated. What's a girl to do? :confused:

    ps: I am new on here but would love to tag along to the boards.ie coppers fest.

    The word friendship is not a word people like to hear often. Perhaps you could say we can meet and see how things go...you're not committing to anything that way.

    It's understandable that, in the past, you might have had more success in relationships with guys that you were friends with first.

    However that was probably in cases where the friendship happened organically, and then naturally progressed to more!

    It's a lot more difficult to try to start off a "friendship" with the sort-of-maybe possibility of something more down the line. Look at it from the guy's point of view. He gets in touch because he likes you, possibly in a romantic way. You're telling him to switch all that off, and only see you as a friend - but that eventually, when you're ready, you might want him to start seeing you in a romantic way again?! It's a bit of a mindf*ck really, I know I'd probably not bother with that sort of complicated stuff!

    If you like a guy, why not just meet him. Maybe it'll progress to friendship, and maybe more, but you won't really know until you've spent time with them ... just be open-minded about it!

    You do have to bear in mind that, generally, people use online dating sites to set up dates - not to find new friends! So, if you're looking for friends right now and not dating, there might be better ways of going about it!

    I found it bewildering the amount of women on POF who had looking for a guy for "Friends" or "Hang Out." It quickly became the first thing I'd check and honestly stopped looking at a profile when I saw that, because it isn't what I was looking for.

    If you want friends, go out and get to know people.

    PS, forget about Coppers. Cassidys on the 18th of Feb is where it's at :) there's a thread stickied about it. All the cool kids are going :cool:

    Hmm. You make a pretty good point- I guess I hadn't realised just how much of a mind eff it could be.

    Gaaah. Thanks anyway.

    It's not that easy making friends when you're a foreigner. I have met a lot of interesting people but many of them have their' regular mates' while others are college buddies and since I am shackled to them most of the week, hanging out with them after hours does not provide that 'letting your hair down' feeling. Not all of them of course but the majority.

    I also live in clonee- not exactly the most bustling neighbourhood- cookie cutter houses and young parents about sums it up. I have been here five months and apart from my classmates and their friends, I have met no one else really.

    The funny thing is, I always liked to keep my own company and my friends back home were constantly on at me to hang out more and I took them for granted - now that I have that solitude I was constantly fighting for, I appreciate their nagging a lot more. :)

    Thanks for the Cassidy tip.
