Well it reads like a cv...very stuffy and formal...not relaxed and natural

The thing that used to pee me off with POF were boys who would put:
"[name] wants to date but nothing serious"
Click to expand...
at the top of the page. Then further down put:
Looking For Dating
Click to expand...
so as a girl you think "okay, so this guy is up for dating...maybe more? Lets read on and see..."AND then it says
Do you want children? Yes
Click to expand...
AND
Longest Relationship: Over 2/3/4/5 years
Click to expand...

So we think:

1. Hummm he wants nothing serious okay...
2. Oooh he is interesting in Dating (dating > kisses > sexy time >...)
3. So after we have dated...OMG!! HE WANTS BABIES!!!!
4. OMGx2 he has been in a long term relationship before!!!!!!
Queue bunny boilers who just want your sperm/ money/ life/ soul for their own OR you frighten off a lot of women cause you don't seem to know what you want...

Its best to do is if you want to date and see what happens then have 'wants to date', Looking for Dating, Children: maybe, Relationship 2 years +

Its not lies, its just leaving your options open and not setting yourself up for a fall. Trust me...

The guy who i dated off POF thought we were still 'just friends' and 'nothing serious' 6 months in...not cool

(not a dig at you or your profile Kimi its just a frustration i found when i was using POF)

But if I put that I don't want kids, then they expect me to wear protection.... :D

Ah i see, I need to de nerdify my profile a little.

I see what you mean about the Intent bit, but ive had im looking for dating and i want a relationship for the last few weeks on there but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Ive changed the Want children to open/undecided after reading your advice, i can totally see what you mean lol

What would you suggest for the length of previous relationships bit? im 28 and was just filling it out honestly, im mean 5 years at 28 seems normalish?
 
Awesome date again last night. Second date with this one. She even forgave me spilling my drink all over her when Walcott scored. Threw my hands up, forgetting I had a full glass in my right hand :(. We bar hopped until 12 and made our way back to her flat. I just got home :)

Suppose to have another second date tonight with another girl but going to cancel. Just want one little night for myself. Tomorrow I have a first date with a Norwegian hottie. God I love Match!

suffice to say, when the conversation descends as far as

her: Jagerbomb only 2.10
me: that's pretty good value. the place up the road is three for a fiver.

pretty much everything i said went over her head. It's not like i was talking about Nietzschean philosophy or anything, even basic topical jokes were completely lost.

i posted to FB while she was in the bog. my fat, ginger, bearded geordie mate offered to come storming in as my ex lover. i was almost tempted....
 
Tell us more about the crazy encounter Saytan. Sounds similar to a really dim bint I went out with a while back.

Every joke had to be explained, even the simplest of them, she didn't live in a flat with a cardboard box as a bedside table did she? :o ~memories... shudder
