Unfortunately it seems like the area is important.

Absolutely goes without saying. In a 10 mile radius around me I found close to 2000 women within the 28-35 bracket. With such stats the options are good.
Easiest break up ever!!
LOL.
NEXT!
Ha ha! Was that her follow up because you hadn't replied in 16 minutes? Harsh reply!
Naa the top text is her from Sunday morning, I mention it in this post > http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=22114910&postcount=11603
As I say I couldn't be arsed with it after that and on the way home from work this evening is when that latest one arrived.
I was like "Meh, whatever"
Ahhh the time is at the top of the messages. Still, it looks like she was fishing for a "noooooo don't leave me" but got a "okay, see ya!"! Ha ha!
POF has been rubbish for me recently. It's a merry-go-round of people punching above their weight. Including me.

Well played!
I've dabbled in this before but always left loads of stuff blank because I thought it was well desperate and whatever.
Anyway, finally thought **** it I'll give it a proper go, paid and everything and put profiles on about 4 different sites. One picture, 2 or 3 paragraphs about myself and filled in all the questions.
Sent about 10 girls messages, got about 3 off some roughsters so I ignored those. Thought it was my picture so asked a mate and he suggested I change it to one of his choosing (without mocking).
Done that and I still don't get anywhere, people talk about it like they're piling up on there, and I'm in London.
I'm definitely not an ugly guy, well within the top half of the average range I reckon. I don't go out to bars and clubs much (I have a pretty decent reason which is irrelevant in this discussion) but I'm definitely sociable and can converse with anyone.
On the few occasions I do meet girls I get on very well with them, the last one I came close to a relationship with (which is embarrassingly getting towards two years ago) she was absolutely stunning, and not 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' stunning, I mean like 'not a single guy on here would say no stunning'. Girl before that that I did actually go out with was the same.
Sorry about that bragging, that's not what I meant, I was just trying to justify the fact that I'm honestly not ugly as sin.
Anyway, what am I doing wrong?

How weird does the world turn I ask thee.
Fixed up a womans car before I jetted off on hol for the weekend, she was off to Devon in it and it wasn't being very reliable.
Anyway, I get back this week and text her to make sure she was happy with it and if she had a good weekend.
Somehow we started to arrange a "catch up drink" to tell our tales of the weekend we both had but I ended up taking her out to a rather nice restaurant for a meal tonight.
Arm in arm walk back to the car and a sneaky encounter with the lips and I think we are seeing each other again.
She probably just wants her car fixed for free* but whatever, its great.
* I jest.. She's really nice and we are in to lots of similar things in life, so all is well!

This has been wonderful so far. Met a 10/10 Norwegian last night. Seeing her again Sunday. Got a date tonight, tomorrow night and Friday night. May the Lord strike down my family if I'm lying. The first time in this old dog's life where I had to turn down dates. From an absolute barren time last year to bountiful this year. Not quite sure what's going on. All I'm saying is, long may it last!

I never ever used it.I don't like internet dating.
Based on my experience with Match.com..
- Add more photos. 1 is never enough and doesn't give the person looking at your profile a good idea of what you really look like. If you're not bad looking then make it obvious.
- How's your profile ad written? Make sure it's always positive, don't include anything negative and make sure you sound interesting i.e. I'm passionate about "bla", family oriented etc.
- Avoid day to day conversation like "how are you?" "what you been up to?" comes across boring. Talk about her and don't talk about yourself much, so that way she has to find out more about you etc. Also avoid profiles with bad photos, bad grammar and lines like "omg why am i on here!!!!111" - waste of your time, they will be useless
- Only view someone's profile once (if it notifies them). I always remembered the one's that kept re-viewing - desperate signs. Don't message straight away, view and wink etc. I personally wouldn't message unless they winked/messaged first.
- Sign in regularly. A lot of people search "who's online now" - Gives you more opportunity.
- If you're messaging someone, do 1 message a day (2 max). Says you're busy and not deperate to get into anything straight away
There's a bit for you, but there's loads more to learn!

There seems to be a paradox here. Who can spot?
Match.com mate. You'll have that fishing rod busy up in no time (pun not intended)
