    I dont think you're supposed to do that on this thread, but you can ask people if they want to offer feedback and you can exchange via PM

    Better off waiting for people to ask for the PM. A random one out of teh blue might freak people out.

    A girl just mailed me to ask me how old I am even though its the first thing you see on my profile.
    Also some random lad in a nightclub last night asked what I, a 35 year old was doing there (I'm actually 25).
    This is a worrying trend :/

    Feels like I committed an awful lot of time and money, guess I expected if it didn't work out, it'd be a while before she sought a "replacement" so to speak. NOPE!

    I once met a divorced woman, fell in love, moved into her house at her suggestion & started paying the mortgage. A year later I discovered that she was still married, her husband owned the house & he knew about me :eek: I am pretty "streetwise" but I got fooled.

    Now this could make me a bit wary of risking another relationship but then again why should it ? Not every woman will be like this one & not every date will be like yours. I never found out why mine did it & I don't really want to. You have to move on & not let bad experiences over influence your future

    I met a divorced woman last year myself and we went out for a couple of months until I found out I looked an awfully lot like her ex-husband. It was far too creepy for my liking.

    I'm going to be the old wise head/annoying know it all here now, but I've observed that in every case where I went on a date from online apart from the most recent, either one or the other of us had 0 to low interest/felt a spark.
    This despite being "suitable" according to the sites.
    None progressed to a relationship, even though we dated again a few times.

    Now this time, it was totally different, it was more like meeting someone through friends or something and going "Wow, she's gorgeous!" chatting and feeling the sparks, and her thinking the same.
    It didnt feel like the other stilted 'interviews' at all.

    So the update is that both profiles have been hidden/deleted, Facebook rel status changed and we is official. :D:D:D

    To think I nearly deleted my profile even while we were chatting :confused:

    Keep the faith folks, if this old curmudgeon can beat the odds, anyone can.

    I changed my relationship status on Facebook today too. :cool:

    I'm helping out a friend and pretending to be her boyfriend for 24 hours. Tomorrow we'll be changing it back to "single" again. :pac: / :(

    Ah, facebook relationship status! The true indicator in these modern times! :D

    Good job johnr1, glad you got there!

    I know, it's sad isn't it, I've avoided that for years because of the flurry of comments it generates, but right now I couldn't give a fcuk :D

    I thought it was funny when Facebook informed me "you are now in a relationship with ****** ******". Me: 'Oh, - riiiight, - thanks for that, I was wondering what it was'

    Any dates recently yourself awec ?

    I logged into my POF account for the first time in a couple of weeks over the weekend. Got a very helpful email from someone with no picture, 'undisclosed' answers to a couple of key questions on her profile and 'will fill this in later' written over and over again in 'about me' section to get to the minimum word count.

    The message is only 'Hi, you sound nice' as well. I mean, what am I supposed to do with that? I've said before in here that it's always nice to get a message on these sites but this one has just annoyed me.

    Do you think that because you'd almost given up, you might have been more relaxed about the whole thing and went into meeting up with the lady with more of an open mind and without as much pressure??

    Not saying that you were a stressed out dude going on your dates, but that maybe your mindset change subsonsciously somewhat? Or was it all just luck?

    To be honest I just ignore those type of messages and profiles. If they cant be bothered to make the effort then I dont think they are serious. There are enough timewasters without adding another one.

    I met my Fiancee online and we are together eight years next month. She is mortified though when people ask how we met and makes up some story about through a friend of a friend etc. I don't think it matters myself and think its preferable to meeting in some dingy nightclub at 2am! Anyone have an opinion on it?
