Internet Dating.....Who Has Done it?!

Yup and would never do it again. Talked to a lady for a bit and arranged for a "date". Turned up to the bar to find a group of my mates had been playing a hilarious "prank" :o Was a good night in the end despite me wanting to silently kill them all. Revenge will be mine!! :D

LOL! I am always on the look out for that one. Exactly the kind of prank I would pull. :D
 
I finally met someone off plentyoffish and I've been seeing her for about 2 weeks. It took months to actually find anyone who bothered to reply to my messages, but she lives close, is really nice, and quite naughty ;)
 
I had a few encounters when I was in my 20s, mainly through chat-rooms.

Last year after a period of celibacy (edit: celibicacy is the wrong word, as I still "got about" - more like a period of self-enforced no relationships), I decided to try Dating Direct. I went out with about eight different women and was on the verge of giving up when I started swapping emails with a Mexican girl. While going out with a latina lovely (and she is absolutely gorgeous :D) is, in itself, a nice change from British girls, she just has a totally different outlook on life which she maintains is due to being from Mexico. There's no "Back to British" for me, not after I've seen the other side (no offence ladies!).

I can honestly say I've thanked myself silently a hundred times for not cancelling my membership a week earlier.

I'm now happily in a loving relationship and have been for the last seven months. For the first time in a long, long while, I can actually see a future for myself and my partner. It feels good :D
 
What's that dating site that only lets attractive people join? There was a thread on it ages ago.

Edit - http://www.darwindating.com

At one time, I’d have thought that website was offensive or vain in someway, but after using match.com for six months and getting absolutely no response from anyone that I might have liked, some responses from those who I thought I could get to like and loads of emails from scammers and those with weight issues, I can see why its been set up.

To be fair, I got a few dates, but all of them were disappointments to either myself or the one I met. It was the same old rubbish, you sent out loads of messages, hardly anyone got back to you, a minger perhaps did, you were so pleased that someone spoke to you, and you ended up on a pointless date, where you would think, “cripes you picture was better” and I felt guilty for thinking it….. Also, I think I came across better in email then person, I’m told I’m good looking but a tad shy in real life, so that didn’t help…..

Yep I’ve been told numerous times I’m quite decent looking, but online dating wrecked my self esteem, and I started to doubt myself and gained no confidence and became very bitter with it…

To all those who’ve made it a success, hat goes off to you all, I however failed at it.
 
Tramp.

On a related note, I signed up to darwin, just to see how long it takes for me to be voted off :p

:D brave man..!! You never know, you could make the grade. Whats stopping anyone from just posting a picture of a right stunner, or some hunk?

Nothing I guess.. Until you get a date that is, then try explaining that one to some chick who thinks you're a brad pit lookalike..!!
 
Yeah she's a liar :p

I'd just like to resurrect this thread and add my testimonial for internet dating, specifcally the website Plentyoffish.com

Since I joined the site a few months ago i've had a ton of messages from women ranging from what can only be described as crones, to stunners who any man would gawp at in the street.

Well until today I had only met one person off the site, back around Valentines Day,l and that only lasted a couple of weeks before I decided we weren't a good match and ended it. So on the search went, and recently I started chatting to two ladies that looked particularly nice... one a petite blonde financial advisor and the other a tall blonde form Slovakia who had been here 10 years, looked very nice form the pics.

Anyway today I decided to be a bit crafty and arranged to meet both women on the same day. The first, the petite blonde, I met in the morning, and she was what could only be described as a "safe bet". Very pretty, with impish little features and a lovely smile... very nice personality too and earns good money but i'm not sure if she would be my cup of tea long term... something just didn't feel right. She wants to meet again however, and it was obvious she fancied me, so I must have done something right. Problem is she didn't give me any flutters, and as such i'll probably not see her again.

Then in the afternoon/evening I arranged to meet the second woman... the Slovakian retail manager. Oh. My. ****ing. God. This girl was such a stunner that I had to force myself to act normal and cool when I greeted her and gave her a peck on the cheek... and i'm not usually fazed by looks. 5ft 9in, blonde, a figure that could have been picked out from some lads mag... words don't quite seem enough to portray her on here. She turned up in some little denim shorts and a pink t-shirt (it was hot today) and I swear it was insta-stiffy material. We went for a drink, and whereas with the petite blonde conversation was a tiny bit mundane... with this girl we just hit it off and started laughing and joking straight away. She goes to the gym so that was a good starting point, and was just in general one of the nicest, coolest people I have ever met, and intelligent too. Wherever she walked heads would literally turn... male and female... and I must say I felt the dogs nadgers walking into the pub with her lol, she was the best looking girl in there (imo) by miles.

After we finished the drinks (we were both driving hence didn't stay in the pub) she suggested going home to get her cinema pass, and so I drove her there and we returned to town to go to the flicks to watch Wanted (whether it's an action movie or a comedy i'll never know. Possibly both.) After the film we walked back to our cars and said goodbye, and like a chuffing moron I didn't kiss her because I wasn't sure whether she felt the same way or not. Why the hell I get so easily flustered with women I really like i'll never know... but then again it's so rare (i'm hyper-fussy) that I meet girls that give me the butterflies that I guess I was just worried about her pulling away or something. I needn't have worried... as she just texted me saying she wants to see me again... so next time i'm going to man up and get to work. I just can't believe my luck... easily the best looking girl i've seen in ages, and she wants a repeat performance... win!

I suggest any guys going through a dry spell to go to that site... it's ******* awesome. :D:D:D

I've not been bothered at all with women lately but I really clicked with a girl in the pub last night. Unfortunately there was a mad rush out of the place with my mates when our lifts back to my mate's place arrived... I didn't even get to say goodbye... bet she wasn't impressed at me disappearing :p Bleh!
 
Internet dating experience so far
#1 went out for a couple of months - english lass. Nice but we didn't click
#2 went out for a meal - english lass, slightly older very attractive (ginger ;)) but her father was diagnosed with lukemia so she gave up with the dating game.
#3 she started talking to me - she's italian, we tried it and after 4 months we broke up today. She's going to the US as work has offered her a job.

I'll give it a month and then get back on the trail..

There are nutcases out there but there are some really nice women too. Good fun meeting new people too.
