Thanks, appreciate the advice!

My head is in a bit of a spin lately, purely because of my interest in her.

I feel better now.

No problem. Basically if you think you've started a good thing, don't give up. But don't stress out over it either

I seriously tend to overthink and stress about little things. Its puts way too much pressure on me.

What should I do? Another chatty message back in the hope of it developing a bit or just say it seems like we have a good bit in common and I'd be interested in getting to know him a bit better/meeting for a drink? Have found the latter scares some people off, but it's a winner with anyone who can't be bothered with endless messages (like me!)

Whoop- WIN! He would love to go for a drink. Turns out he just hates messaging too.

Also I'm setting up a second (daytime) date with the guy from Thurs:D

silvervixen84 · 02-04-2012 9:35am

Had my date yesterday afternoon. Nice guy but there was no spark.

andreac · 02-04-2012 10:40am

Had a lovely date yest with a guy from POF. Went for cuppa in a cafe beside the beach then a lovely walk on the beach. Even got a kiss or 2

All went well, and he even rang me on my way home to say how well it went and that he had a really nice feeling about it

. I really do hope this guy is genuine after all the others that have messed me around lately.

Does sound promising and from a fella's perspective, if he took the bother of calling, then he seems genuine, most (including myself:rolleyes:) would just text. Dont look for the negatives, just bask in the positives!

I totally agree.

I've been chatting to a guy for the last while. We've moved on to discussing a date, he asked for my number but hasn't text me and continues to mail me on the site. Also, something he said last night makes me think he works in the same company I do. Would this put you off?

Armaghmagic · 02-04-2012 12:23pm

Same thing happened to me.......got chatting to a girl from my town, she had no photos so she said to add her on Facebook which I did and that was the end of the messaging. I asked her what the story was and she said we had too many "mutual friends" for her liking and cut our conversation short!

Ive been with a woman I work with and it didnt turn out well. Thats not to say that there are not plenty of happily courting couples where I work!

tatumkelly · 02-04-2012 12:26pm

It's a big company, and it seems that he works in a different department. I don't recognise him, and don't think he recognises me but I'm pretty sure he works there.

I think I'll play my cards close to my chest where work conversation is concerned, and see what happens.

Imagine your boyfriend of a year (who's over 30) filtering his facebook message so you get to see the same profile his aunty see.. what scumbags are out there! It might be a clever thing but it's so obvious that it's been done! Silly Silly men :pac:

What?

I think it might reference a BF who has altered the security settings on their FB profile so that the GF can no longer see everything on his page? Which might as well be pointless as to have never happened. If you need a FB page to keep in contact with someone then you've grossly misunderstood the purpose of the entire telecommunication industry.

I'm not sure what's happened here? Has he picked a setting which doesn't show her his statuses etc?

You can put people on limited profile, then they can only see certain stuff, still friends with them but kinda blocked! It's a good tool!

No idea what relevance it has to the thread though :rolleyes:

7 messages in the last few days from different guys...

hopefully I don't screw this up!

tatumkelly · 02-04-2012 5:24pm

Apparently 214 men want to meet me....it would seem they're all too shy to actually meet me :rolleyes:

Had a date Thursday night with a guy I meet on a dating site. Got on great and the date ended with a kiss. He seemed quite keen but I haven't heard from him since and I logged on tonight to see if he was on line and he was!

Would you take that to mean (a) he isn't interested or (b) he is trying to keep his options open or other (please give opinion).

Other: Coulda been checking if you were online!

tatumkelly · 02-04-2012 6:41pm

That guy, who I think may work in same company.... his photos have all disappeared! :rolleyes:

Herrick · 02-04-2012 7:02pm

Well after a 7 month relationship has come to an end, having thoughts about getting back out there in the near future. Ugh, the thought of the dating game again

What sites are you guys using these days out of interest? Anything new beside the old classics like PoF, OKC, etc?

Try Badoo and Tagged......never heard of OKC!

DwightShrute · 03-04-2012 12:36am

Those who don't feel any spark on a date and know they don't want to see the person again...are you brave enough to tell them at the end of the date or do you wait til you're ''back where it all began'' and let them down in a more gentle (and cowardly) way online?

Armaghmagic · 03-04-2012 12:36am

Had my best ever 2nd date tonight, if not the best full stop. Great dinner, then nice walk to and from the cinema, with a nice film experience in between, then had our first kiss which did not let the night down in any way!! Was fantastic......good luck to anyone with any upcoming dates!

I am meeting this great woman at her house on Thursday for dinner and a dvd night! Can't wait!

03-04-2012 12:11pm

Been chatting to a few nice girls lately - hopefully will be meeting 'em soon.

Honey-ec · 03-04-2012 12:34pm

So, the guy who injured his ankle last week has rescheduled for tomorrow, same time & place. Second time lucky, wha?

I also had a rather well-known athlete message me other day. Definitely not a fake profile either, cause I know his agent and sussed him out straightaway, ha ha!

KTRIC · 03-04-2012 1:04pm

Third date last night, had a nice evening in town, went to see Wrath of the Titans (which was shite) followed by some kissing and hand holding

What's his sport??

stripysocks85 · 03-04-2012 3:54pm

So, hows the world of online dating going? I met 2 boyfriends off it but have given up now. Most of the men seem to have issues of some sort. I dislike drama. Where are all the easy going decent men?! Although, I think I'm going on a man free diet for a while anyway

Armaghmagic · 03-04-2012 3:57pm

Feel free to PM me ;-)

stripysocks85 · 03-04-2012 3:58pm

Haha no really, man diet :P Men just cause me headaches. I like the drama free life

stripysocks85 · 03-04-2012 4:26pm

Other flavours of men!? Haha! I'm not even picky! Really! Plus I thought men, when they reached a certain age, matured like a good wine, and didn't play games and such, but, it appears I was incorrect. I dare not go younger. Ugh.

Younger guys can be mature-ish!! Just have to find the right one!

stripysocks85 · 03-04-2012 4:41pm

Perhaps you are right, probably wrong of me to dismiss someone immediately just because of age. I suppose it's a personal preference thing, generally, I find men about 5 years older than me to be attractive. Although obviously not limited to such :P

I somehow only attract older women, I'm 26, date tonight with a 34 year old who I have been seeing on and off for nearly a year now, just depends on your preference

I'm 26. And generally like my men in their 30s. After my last creepy ex that was 25, I'm put off similar aged men, no offence!

And good luck on your date

Must they have a penchant for stripy socks too?

Nope. Not at all. However, they must not have any underlying mental issues, and I'm not being insensitive to those people who do suffer with such problems, but I don't want the problems of the world on my shoulders so early on in a relationship. No thanks. And no psycho texting me when we've broken up either!

Thanks! Haha!

Don't break up then! Miss picky!!

stripysocks85 · 03-04-2012 5:22pm

Aww no, really not picky! I'm not!

Am quite happy go lucky. Just in a B A D mood today! But don't think that I'm picky, I'm not, but irrelevant anyway

Think I know who your talking about and if it's the same one were talking about I did read somewhere that he's on it. Can imagine he's only on it for one thing

Should have a date on Thursday with a guy from okc. Not sure why but I've never had much luck with that website never really fancied any of the guys I've met off it. He seems nice so we shall see. Also been talking to some funny guys off Pof. Have not had any decent conversation with anyone off that in a while so shocked to get talking to the two of them in the same day!
