    I've been following this (and the last) thread since the start. It's great to get the insights from everyone else's experiences so I thought I'll stop lurking and post something.

    I've been online dating for over two years now. I've had crap dates and excellent dates, met up after two days of messaging and met up after a month. I've had several (short) relationships from it and one of those is still one of my best friends now. I dont think its possible, for me at least, to know if I'll get on with the girl until we actually meet up regardless of how well we get on over email. I very rarely ever send the first message because I got sick of putting in lots of effort only to be ignored so now I tend to just chat with whoever messages me.

    Over the weekend I was bored and brought my answered questions up from around100 to almost 500 on OK Cupid. I sent a message to my new highest match and have been getting on incredibly well over email and we're meeting up tomorrow night. I'm actually starting to think there might be something to the match system but I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

    Some people just don't have the time. And I've gotten abuse and pestered for sending a polite no thanks. I'm sure some guys have had the same experience.

    Overall though, it is politer to just reply saying thanks but no thanks, you're not my type. I've ignored a few people who've messaged me, and they continued to message me, so I had to mail them to put them out of their misery :p

    In a message:

    me: You're cute
    him: I choose to take that as a compliment.

    So yeah, why are guys iffy about cute. Cute is a good thing- where I am from at least. What's the Dublin meaning that Chaterpillar is talking about?

    Cute often gets used by girls to describe men they are not attracted to in a relationship way, they say the guy is cute like a little brother or good friend relationship. If a guy is attractive to a woman they are more likely to be called handsome or good looking rather than cute.

    That's the generalisation anyway. One step up from cute is adorable, worst thing to hear from a woman you are interested in.

    I was thinking it's a very feminin type of compliment more so.

    Feminine is good. Dudes need to connect more with their feminine anyway. ;)

    Although I don't think it's a bad habit. I think guys should appreciate and even own this- it makes you more 'relatable'. :)

    Don't want to start a war on this thread but any woman I have ever met that says guys need to connect with their feminine side I have always found they eventually dumped their boyfriends for not being "man enough". Be careful what you wish for! :P

    OK well "adorable" is definitely friend-zone territory!

    I think that maybe the Dublin - well, Irish - meaning of cute, is similar to "adorable" - cute like a puppy dog! I don't mean it that way though, if I describe someone as cute, it means I think they're hot/rideable/yummy/etc. :pac:

    Jackie Healy-Rae is certainly cute, but definitely falls into the "etc" category of the definition! :pac:

    God, this shyness thing, I really need to learn it! I really don't know how to be shy ... I have no shame! If I fancy a guy, he knows it! :o
