Up until 3 years ago when I became long term single I'd only ever had long term girlfriends and never cheated on any of them. So this whole seeing more than one woman at a time is really alien to me.

3 years single?
In that time I would have filled 3 little black books. ;)

Your only seeing them if you sleeping with them, Your only an official item after you've had "that" conversation. Only after its official should your morals come into it.

Date all 3 of them. Not for long though or it'll get awkward and complicated. Then choose.

If your really good you can convince all of them they're better off just being friends with benefits for now. Keep that up for 3 months, it never lasts longer then that anyway. Then choose. Win Win tbh

Only listen to me if not serious about any of them.

Meh, given up again. I'm glad I've not paid for match based on the experiences of others. Had quite a few chats where they never bothered putting any effort in. I am considering a introductions agency for professionals as I seem to be looking in the wrong area. However I can see them just lobbing you at anyone they have on their books :/

you sound like you're stressing over the situation, this will come through your personality and they'll run a mile
 
ONLINE DATING: nothing but dogs, dogs, dogs and more dogs.

sometimes fat dogs, mostly boring dogs, geeky fridge dogs, generally stupid unemployed dogs... dogs... dogs.

Did I mention; Dogs?

Better off calling it Plenty of Dogs.
 
I would say about a year and a half.

2yrs together - 6 months living together = 18 months. If my maths is correct. It was never my strongest subject.

lol that's a bit harsh. There are some nice girls about on these sites but yeah the majority of them seem to be living in a dreamworld of some kind. I think a lot of them are going to have a lot of trouble finding someone to meet their expectations. And the one's who have 2-3 kids with them in their profile pic? I mean, come on. it's no wonder they are on there lol.
 
I'v had one online relationship. Went on for over a year. We never met face to face, though we did talk on the phone and even sent each other presents for birthdays and stuff like that. It ended rather badly and I got my heart ripped out and catapulted into the heart of the sun.

Never again.

Why would you not ever meet them face to face? Doesn't make sense.

I use my phone as it has more storage lol.

Since I started online dating I've been on more dates than I remember :)

What you say makes sense though. Usually I know straight away if I like someone enough to have more dates. The odd few I've seen more than once have lead to a handful I've seen more than 5 dates. These are the ones I find conflict with my morals. However I'll address this and use your system :)

Edit. The main contender ditched herself in epic fail style. I'll tell the story when I have more time.

Down to two at the mo although I've got a few more possibles :)

I used to do that. Until a few crazy ladies went through my phone. One did it at 3am, promptly woke me up and kicked me out.

So do I. But sometimes after date two or three I'm tired of it and it becomes "Something to do" I make it clear to them I don't feel the way they do. I then say I cant keep seeing you as it'll only be for one reason and it's not fair on you etc etc etc.

Thing is. Women have "needs" as well, just wait for the the "You busy?" text. ;)

Once you decide you want to make a serious with one of them or you've had that chat. You MUST tell the others that you've met someone else etc etc etc. A break all ties immediately, its usually a good idea to do this before "that chat."

Yes. Please do.

Two makes it easier though. See one that's local during the week and the one that's not at weekends. You can keep this up for longer. ;)

Note: This is not serious advise but it works for me. Yes, I'm single, but out of choice... Mostly. :D
 
OK so the story of the one who got away lol

I'd been seeing her for three Months, once a week mainly with around a three week break in the middle due to both of us being on holidays.

She had admitted to being high maintenance on the second date but as she ticked many of the other boxes I decided to keep seeing her. Anway, she would do stuff like text me at 10pm on a school night and ask if I wanted to come around as she needed a hug. Yeah I know she wanted more than that and on a couple of evenings I did go round. When there we'd fool around for a bit but it never went all the way so I thought she just playing games, testing me so I didn't go round all the time. I took her out for dinner a few times and paid most of the time which I didn't mind.... It was always me doing the running aroun though! She also liked to ask questions regarding previous conversations and texts etc testing if I remembered stuff. At first I played along but it got boring. If I got something wrong in her eyes she's say something like "No darling, I never said that, try again" WTF I know!!

So, nearing the end I'd got bored or her constantly phoning and texting wanting me to pop over (15 miles) to see her becuase she 'needed' me so I hatched a plan to ditch her. I didn't reply straight away to texts and didn't always answer the phone. She sent me a text basicaly saying "Hey, I get the vibe you're not interested. If that's true you can walk way, no hard feelings" This was clearly a test however I wanted out so replied "Yeah, it's not working for me so it would be great to be friends and leave it at that" she then went off the deep end calling me a few names followed by a silence for a couple of hours. Then I got the "I'm sorry, I guess we're just stressed, can we talk" (Who's stressed, This is working perfectly for me) I waited untl the morning to reply saying "I'm sorry but it's just not working for me, take care" this was followed up by one of the biggest rants I've seen via text. I was called everything from lazy and cheap to nasty and a typical man" I was going to reply with a "Hang on a moment, just think about everything I've done" text but just went with.

"Ain't rejection a bitch"

No more contact since that which is well over a week :)
 
So i've been using PoF for a while and chatted to a few girls who seem interested, then when I ask them to meet, I hear nothing. Time wasters mostly on there I found.
