Good luck dude. I know how you feel. I am just plucking the courage to do my first call to a girl I met on POF.
Pathetic I know......

Interesting thread.
Had a look through PoF instead of working this afternoon to see whether it's worth my while giving it a try - I'm a terrible self-promoter
My question to the experts is this: There's a pretty girl on there who's a receptionist over the road. Do I (a) Sign up to PoF, put on some terrible pictures and drop her a message or (b) Accost her in the street and attempt to arrange a date that way? She's a looker so I'd be punching above my weight.
TIA.
P.S. Comedy (c) Kidnap / chloroform poll option for the rabble.

I'd say the best advice for meeting people off PoF is meeting somewhere public for coffee and a 'quick chat'.
Even if you have nothing else to do that day, pretend you have an appointment and can only fit them in for 15 minutes / half hour. Takes the pressure off having a huge date, plus you get to see if they're a nutter without wasting your time.
That last line sounds harsh but experience says it's necessary *Wipes away tears*

Had a really good date tonight, she looks pretty much like her picture but with different hair, went for a nice meal at 6 and spent the last couple hours talking at a small bar. Took her home and had a kiss and i got her number.

Good stuff
I ignore his txts, when he rings I either ignore it or tell him not to ring me anymore, we broke up 8 months ago for goodness sake!
It even grates me that he still calls me "love" when he sends me a txt, im not his love, nor have I been for a long time!
Um, change your number?
I need to keep my number for a variety of reasons, so thats not an option.
Call up your provider and have his number blocked?
Tried that, o2 will only just change my number. If he was doing it more frequently then I would consider it, but like I said changing my number isnt really practical. Maybe I will put a male friend on the phone next time he rings and get him to pretend to be my new bloke.
knip - next time he contacts you just reply saying you don't want to hear from him again by any means and that if he doesn't leave you alone you will have no choice but to go to the police.
If he does then contact you - go to the police. Trust me I had to do it, it wasn't nice but some of the things my ex did were just way out of line.
