A bit soon on the first-date I think, but better that then have an elephant in the room.

yea, thankfully, as i said, it didn't bother me too much, thought it was kinda cute, but it was much after that that things went horribly wrong, worst part was she couldn't see what was going wrong :/

The best way i find, is to have met the person briefly at a party or w/e

Then talk to them/get to know them on the internet.

Patience y'all

Now I'm a late starter, first proper relationship at 21, and only 2 other long-term ones (one an engagement) following that.

So come the age of 26, I was fairly disheartened by the whole thing, and gave the online dating a shot.

1st person = NOT 'average' body size, size bloody 20!
2nd person = No spark, but hit it off so well that we now house-share together.
3rd person = Was born a man!!!
4th person = Amazing woman who I am now very happy with.

Location does play an annoying part for most though, London is a bit of smorgasbord when it comes to choice and variation.

haha oh man, thanks for making the rest of us feel better

I know what you mean about "average", it's the same as "bubbly personality"

and at what point did you find out number 3 was a man?

Hopefully not after a night out :eek:

After 30 minutes of chatting at a wine bar.

When we first met up, I was like "Urgh, deceptive pics on POF, this is not a pretty woman."
Then at the bar I noticed her unusually large hands.
Then the reason I found her voice familiar made sense, as my childhood neighbour's son had a sex change and sounded very similar.

So I kinda figured it out before she admitted it to me.

Reading that made me think of the scene in Crocidile Dundee where he meets the man dressed as a woman and just puts his hand *there* to check

LOL @ weakest link on BBC2, Ann making someone confess their Online Dating habits.

Me and a friend were browsing POF (he signed up too) and I actually found a pretty girl near me!

I can't really bebothered to go through the hassle of signing up though, seems like a lot of effort and you have to write a load of stuff don't you?

(plus i'm very lazy, I doubt i'd even following it through)

I thought Anorexia was a pre-requisite for being pretty?

Morgoth · 7 Jul 2009 at 10:30

She has a bit of a Natalie Portman look.

iJedi · 7 Jul 2009 at 10:55

I once dated a girl who was scared of chicken, chicken in all forms. Live and pecking, dead, in a sandwich, lovely and hot and ready for your sunday lunch...

Was a really strange person, good job she was dynamite in bed or our relationship wouldnt have lasted the whole two weeks that it did!

So she wasn't afraid of all meat then?

She's nice! Why wouldn't you sacrafice 10 mins of your day signing up to PoF - the reward could be prettttttty good.

Dont get me wrong, she is pretty face wise, she just needs to get some meat on those bones badly!

Prophet · 7 Jul 2009 at 12:32

Wouldn't you believe it. Not been on PoF for 2 months and not received one email. Logged in to see if there are any new faces and get an email within two minutes.

Got to love how their system works!
