    Was chatting to a girl over the weekend on POF. All was going well until the crazies took hold of her and she went on saying how lonely she was and how I was the last hope for her to ever be in a relationship. :eek:

    I sent a message back with the following:

    "Meep meep"

    Looking back now it was a bit dickish to send that.

    Ugh you ass - coffee all over keyboard now :D

    Just a bit, sounds a tad bit needy for my liking though.

    I'd had a good few instances of quite frequent messages being sent back and forward and then nothing. Anyone experience this ??

    Oh no! The crazies got to you too! :p Maybe she was just hormonal...I've been known to go off the deep end when I am hormonal- I once cried when George Bush was giving a speech about nothing.

    Yeah, it was a bit. But quite a strange/needy thing for someone to say. :confused: Your message may have made her realise this..

    Yes. I have that's why i don't get my hopes when when receiving a message then again i'm not to sure on when to ask her out either because to soon and you're screwed and leave it till later and they'll just dry out so you're screwed also.

    I haven't sent any messages to girls at all i just replied to messages i got first.

    Regarding the height thing, I'm quite short myself. I haven't measured myself so I just stuck down 5ft 4.

    I might knock 2-3 inches off my profiles recorded height that way if a girl meets me she is pleasantly surprised. :cool:

    I have a date tomorrow night, a bit worried that conversation will be awkward because he described himself as shy and his messages had a formal tone to them. Hopefully not! I could do with a fun night - someone I had been texting but had only met a couple of times told me today he is emigrating next week and he was the first person in a long time I felt any chemistry with. My heart's not broken or anything like that, I'm just a bit sad about it.

    The guy I just stopped seeing was only 5ft 6 but I'm only 5ft 2 so it didn't matter.

    I'm not far off your height, but 5 ft 6 would be the minimum for me, I wouldn't want a guy any shorter than that but max around 6 footish. I prefer taller men!?

    I've been honest about my height on dating sites but have had to bump it up by one or two inches if guys started teasing me about my height.

    Why would you limit the height to just 6ft ?

    Truth be told I'm not sure I get the whole disregarding people because of their height thing - I wouldnt let a womans height be it taller or shorter deter me really.

    Granted any woman I've gone out with has been shorter than me so maybe I'm missing something on the taller women ...

    I wouldn't go for someone shorter than me either, but then I am 5"4 so chances are that won't happen :P

    No, I've my real height up too, 5'10, along with my real figure description, which is athletic, along with the fact that I used to be married.

    Obviously I'm a short fat axe murderer if you allow for a bit of exaggeration. :rolleyes:

    It's becoming obvious that lots/most people lie on their profiles about height, weight, marital status, Job, whatever, along with putting up the one photo ever taken in their lives in which they don't look like a mutant.

    I had a date last week with a single mom, who turns out to have a husband who is "moving out soon", although I'd bet he's not aware of this. :eek: This after one the week before with a slim figure who's about a size 22-24. :mad:

    What hope is there for those of us who actually shock, horror, tell the fcuking truth !:confused:

    My finger is hovering over the delete button.

    I really don't get why people lie about their height/weight/age/whatever on these sites. I mean, if you're gonna meet up with someone eventually what's the point? They'll see you anyway... :confused:

    :pac::pac::pac: I'm not sure why but the frustration in this just cracked me up. Anyway, take heart- KingTut, Michael C and a host of others all met people they seem to like who exceeded their expectations so there's hope for you. You just need to go out and buy bucket loads of patience is all. :)

    You are 5 inches tall? :eek:


    Seriously though, 5'4 is not short, is it?

    I'm what they call a pocket rocket :P

    Nah, but I love my heels, so if I met a guy around my height t'would be a wrench to have to give them up, and I think we'd just look odd together otherwise.
