    Guys (and girls) can you not look up previous conversation or message history on Pof.com? I just noticed I couldn't look back and also, after you get a few messages, older messages just get deleted from your inbox before you get to respond to them or anything? Am I just doing things wrong?

    You can check your message history (ie who you have been in contact with) under your inbox. I have deleted mails so there has never been an issue of them being deleted for me.

    After a long day in work came home checked my messages on Pof, two stood out for very different reasons. The first one was a very witty message telling me about himself, has a good profile looks cute. Well the second message was 5 words long 'do you like fukcing hard' : o!!!!! Seriously WTF is up with some people.

    Obviously I got back to the second message without a second thought....what a catch!

    I can haz date for tomorrow. She seems super nice, I'll keep my fingers crossed until then.
    If she seems super nice now then she'll at least be regularly nice when you meet. Can't ask for more eh? :P

    Three weeks and I've seen her almost every day, I think it's time to say: I can haz girlfriend :)

    Chin up. It's hard alright. Been on all these sites seriously for about 2 years and maybe 6 months too nervous to take it seriously and haven't met anyone from it. :(

    I have to concur with your interpretation of the situation. Many congratulations & long may it last :)

    Surely everybody wants sex... The gentleman in question is simply advertising that he's game. Unless you think he's a rapist then I seriously doubt anything unwanted will happen.

    Is there anyway of disabling these bloody event invites I'm constantly getting. I don't want to go on your poxy fookin' picnic.

    Hoping for a message from an attractive young woman, gets invited to a single's picnic from a dude.

    In any case, his texts have gotten a bit too cheeky for me so I'm going to pass on a date tonight.

    Wait, he turned down the opportunity to see the advanced screening of the Avengers? Something wrong with that chap alright.

    As an early-mid 20something I've found it a bit rubbish. I only ever get mail from women old enough to be my granny or creepy old men from the States.
    There are hardly any girls in my age bracket/locality.

  • Registered Users Posts: 169 ✭✭JennyBurke101


    Haha the screening was actually last night!!!! IT.WAS.AMAZING.

    I hope he was kicking himself ....I didnt make it clear in the message above ...but the text that wasnt meant for me ....well it pretty much looked like a text for a girl he was about to meet up with ...telling her she better not take ages on her hair ....

    Thank God he slipped up BEFORE the screening!!!!!! Still havent heard from him but I am on to much of an Avengers high to really care lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,040 ✭✭✭Armaghmagic

    Ever get the impression you're driving the entire conversation? A girl mailed me this morning and we've had a few back n' forth mails, but I cant seem to get more than a few words per reply. It's very hard to gauge interest when they don't ask any questions and don't seem willing to talk about anything you bring up ay any great length.

    I can't stand when the "conversation" is akin to pulling teeth.

    It's a weird one. We're still talking, but despite many mails, there hasn't been a whole lot pf progress/conversation going on.
    So I'm thinking:

    Mails me first - interested?
    Always replies promptly - interested?
    Replies are always very brief - uninterested?
    Appears to have not read my profile (ie: not showing up in the 'viewed me' list and never referencing anything in my profile) - uninterested?

    I'm thinking she was just browsing the 'meet me' section and decided to pop me a mail (out of boredom perhaps?).

    I have had a few of them. I am a chatter and tend towards the longer replys and it makes me think "why am I bothering?"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,404 ✭✭✭✭Pembily


    It really is a feast or famine. No messages on POF for ages and then bam 5 in one day. One guy messaged me and didn't make one reference to my profile :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 608 ✭✭✭LoTwan


    Now being served in a living room (probably not) near you. Pity party luncheon for one. Date #3 was short & sweet. The guy may have been tall & cute but he has too many demons & there won't be a date #4. Back to the pool for me.

    I was in a relationship for 3 and a half years which was only ended last month (by text message, disgustingly) and I've been textin a really nice girl for the last 3 weeks that I met on pof. She really seems so nice but I'm not sure whether i should be gettin into somethin else so soon after the relationship. No harm in meeting up with her I guess, she's unbelievably chatty and we've loads in common so I shouldn't complain :)

    I know how it feels about the whole breaking up via text mate. Sucks. No harm in meeting her as you say. Just see how you get on and take it from there.

    G'luck lad.
