are they actually taking pictures of it and sending them to yas?, seems like a lot of hassle jus to be blocked!! :eek:

tatumkelly · 31-03-2012 1:02am

Oh I get mickey pics all the time. I'd be tempted to upload some google image mickeys and fire them back, but that would probably end with me getting blocked!

I've been mailing a guy for last few days. He seems lovely, and is cute... I wonder will he turn out to be crazy!

He will if he reads this thread! Wouldn't that be an interesting first date if your date had secretly read all your posts on boards!

ah i'm sure he'll get over it ha,if he gets angry its because he does have mental problems, as any psychologist will tell ya... its called denial :pac:

tatumkelly · 31-03-2012 1:30am

Well clearly an hour in my amazing company would make him forget all about my posts here!

Anyone back from a date yet and wishing to analyse every word?

This is true but I hate feeling like the bad guy saying I'm not interested all the time. I suppose its not all the time. The guys I do like tend not to be interested in me damnit!

Boo.

You aren't the bad guy if you're telling them you aren't interested, it'd be way worse to lead them on!

This.

It'd be far worse of you to give some guys hope when you're not interested, bit of honesty goes a long way at times.

I've noticed that! There are loads of pictures in pub/ night club toilets!

G-Money · 31-03-2012 3:16pm

The one's I don't like are pictures of them plastered drunk at some hen party wearing a pink ballerina outfit that's about 10 sizes too small!

Semele · 31-03-2012 5:58pm

Got a short ("Hello") style message from a cute guy this morning, would normally ignore something like that but he had a really good profile as well as bieng wuite fit so I sent him back a chatty message. He's just replied with a one-liner basically answering the question I asked at the end

What's that about? I'm not inclined to keep messaging if it's going to be like pulling teeth!! I'd just say he wasn't interested but then he did contact me first.

What should I do? Another chatty one 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!)

You kinda answered your own question... You dont wanna keep messaging, so go with the 2nd option.

Armaghmagic · 31-03-2012 6:05pm

Started chatting to a girl on Thursday evening, met up for a quick coffee as I was coming home from the airport this afternoon, this let on to a walk through a nearby park and then we decided to grab a spot of lunch together.....was not expecting much but we are now preparing for our second date to the cinema on Monday night!

I'm chuffed!!

Ya if you like him and don't like trying to work with short replies like that, might as well just straight out ask him to meet; if he says no, conversation was going to end one way or another anyway, if he says yes, see if he can chat better in person

Yup +1 here

Haven't been on boards in a while, but nothing major to update dates-wise!
Was on three dates in the last two months, but none transpired to a 2nd one... but enjoying the banter meeting guys the real life way too

I never understand when this happens. He was the one to message you yet when you message him back to start a conversation he only answers the question you asked. Or worse in my experience they just say 'what about you?' to every question. Make some effort mate

To be honest I don't bother with these ones I just think if they can't be bothered making some effort in their messages what kind of date would it be. Normaly the guys I've had a bit of banter with online are the ones I've had the best dates with. I remember only sending a few msgs to one guy before we met up and never again, it was like talking to a wall a very awkward one at that!

KTRIC · 01-04-2012 12:47am

Date number 2 went well. Gave her a little peck good night after she dropped me home. Going in for the kill the next time I see her though

Larianne · 01-04-2012 2:28am

Another date tonight. Again, not attracted to the guy.

Break Time for me methinks.

Same happened to me and I'm thinking of doing the same......except when i go in for the kill it WILL be date number 2!

wordisbond · 01-04-2012 1:33pm

Quick question. How do people feel about putting your location as Dublin if your not from there? I go there a good bit and plan on living/working there soon.

Reasons: More options and have ran into profiles of friends sisters/other awkward profiles before.

Ladies: Would you find this weird/dishonest?

Drives me mad to be honest. I want a guy who lives near enough that I can see him on the spur of the moment. I've chatted to guys, a date has been mentioned and then they drop the bombshell that they live in Laois or something.

tatumkelly · 01-04-2012 11:14pm

"you look like grannie o sheiy

Who?! What?!

fat__tony · 01-04-2012 11:28pm

Hey guys and girls.

I trust that everyone is well.

I've been seeing a girl for around two months now, we've been on 7 dates since 2nd February and that includes a 3 and half week period without seeing each other as I was on vacation, was then ill for a week and she was tied up with work and other social activities.

I was initially worried that during this period without seeing each other, I thought she lost interest. I phoned her up (thanks to Larienne's advice earlier) and had a lengthy chat and she told me that this wasn't this case and that she wanted to meet again. She wants to take things slowly before committing to a relationship and really get to know each other first. She got out of a 5 yr relationship last August. We have smooched (she actually kissed me after date 3) and she refers to me as a really good-looking guy (Im okay, not exactly Brad Pitt!) so Im pretty sure she is attracted to me.

We really enjoy each others company, there hasn't been a single awkward or silent moment and I'm insanely keen on her, in fact more so than any girl I've met in the past number of years. She ticks all the boxes in terms of personality and looks. Should I continue to pursue? I don't mind the taking things slowly bit at all but I have a slight fear that a relationship won't develop out of it.

Or should I just relax, go with the flow and enjoy spending time together?

Thank you.

I'd say it might be more of a copy and paste job. I doubt these photos are being taken specifically for their recipients, more of a *fire it around to 40 girls and see how many like what they see* type thing XD

Go with the flow. If you're as keen on this girl as you say you are, you wouldn't want to back out of a possible relationship now, and end up wondering what could have been.
She knows you like her, and your relationship with her started with going on dates, so it's not as if you risk ruining a friendship by trying to pursue it.
Just take your time and enjoy, you obviously enjoy her company.

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.
