ok i'm a little freaked out...

someone has seen my match profile and emailed me

however, the email didn't go through on my match log in. it's to an old hotmail account that isn't even registered on match so i've no idea how they got it?

Unless someone on here is trying to have a laugh? if so its not very funny :(

Your trust on the forums has a hotmail address in it, wasn't that one was it?

EDIT, just seen your reply.
Most likely someone from the forums who didn't actually mention the fact that they got your details from here.

Still a little creepy though!

I personally think the best way of meeting new people is through friends or out and about with friends, as it’s always worked well for me in the past. :)

Also by taking classes of some sort.


My observations so far (for meeting females outside of the net):

* The theatre/drama scene has some attractive females..
* Get a haircut at one of the further education colleges that have a hairdressing dept.. not the Toni and Guy or whatever chains.

Yesterday I went to get a haircut at the college where I study as it cost less than £5 for a mens haircut (Poor so couldn't afford the £20+ Japanese hairdressers). I could say that the majority of female students there are physically attractive, and they have nice hair too! Average age is about 19.

Talked to the girl who cut my hair, and got to know her a bit.. she said she was shy, which surprised me, as before the visit I thought the people who do hairdressing were the outgoing type - going from experience. Interesting/intelligent person, but she has a boyfriend :(

Why not search further afield? e.g. all over the UK.

no there's no ocuk breakup, we hadn't got together

it's a long story

let's just say, i've been a bit impatient about a few things, i haven't had a decent nights sleep for week's so my tiredness is making me not think clearly, making rash decisions, allowing others opinions to guide my choices, feel confused easily.

I'm not going on match again, if FF still wants to get to know me then i still want to get to know him and just him.

Delete your match.con profile

You shouldn't stay single for much longer given the amount of attention you're getting on here.

yeah the email is in my trust but in their message there was no mention of seeing my profile on ocuk, just seeing it on match :confused: the other strange thing is instead of saying the from name as "john doe" or whatever it was _ _

If you knowingly whore yourself out on a computer forum and give i-depth info in dating threads on said computer forums then you have to expect this.

bit harsh, granted we all expected her to get masses of emails after that and it'd probably be naive to think otherwise, but I'd hardly say she was "whoring herself out" :confused:
 
How would any of you feel about meeting/dateing someone who had a disability? and what exactley is partial blindness does it mean they can see a little bit but not a lot...

it means it doesn't matter what you look like >.<

though personally it would depend on how able they were, if they've still got a lot of independance, then it woudn't bother me, but I'd be reluctant to basically sign up to be their personal carer

I didn't mean it like that... I just meant it's to be expected if you pour your heart out and reveal personal details on public forums. It will inevitably attract desperate weirdos.

in the meantime i need to sort a few things out.

That doesnt sound good. Dont let whatever play on your mind like that, as soon as i feel im being messed with (even in the slightest) i lose interest, a good thing usually! lol

Myself, i have met a few online. Met some YEARS back then didnt for like 5 years and have done so a bit more recently, but its not something i mind doing if i stumble across someone who i find interesting or someone who sends a wee mail.

Some work out, some dont. Just like ever other 'normal' relationship. Actually one of my more serious ones was an online one... saying that it was very quick and we kinda met a day or two later.

Only one im kicking about on now is really okcupid, as i quite like that site! When i tried that pof it was all rubbish and slow, so i lost interest! It needs a MAJOR update tho, wrote it about 2 years ago!

Just my wee input! Been reading most of this thread as it appeared, but havent posted till now! (i dont think...)

Yes that's very true I wouldn't want that either .. messaging someone on pof at the moment and he sent me one today saying he was in an accident a long time ago where he was left un able to walk and blind. He can walk now but is still partially blind.

well I think my previous post probably sums it up, you've got to be careful that if you do start anything with him, he'll get dependant on you, and you'll never be able to leave for feeling guilty, I know it's a horrible thing to say, but you've got to look out for yourself.

It'd be different if you were together and then he had the accident, but them's the breaks

Yeah I know .. see we are getting on ok but I do feel a bit weird now since I found out about this latest incident. I don't know how idependant he is but i'd say if he's only partially blind he still has a fair amount of site and I his profile says he works.
 
well, in that case, I'd give it a go, sounds like he's doing all he can to retain independance and dignity, so he's not going to be demanding sponge baths straight away ;)

and if you're getting on well, then it's worth a shot at least :p

Wasn't me either.. :D

Although I have mailed you on that hotmail address relating to dating stuff, it was a long time ago IIRC. :D

Well we were getting on well ... he's just told me he's religouse and catholic, im not at all infact im an atheist. Also he just came out and asked me something which has creeped me out a little because I feel like its not something you'd just ask someone you haven't been talking to for that long
