Well that girl never replied to my text after she cancelled out, previously having a good laugh in email and talking on facebook. From her looking forward to our date on thursday to cancelling it on the day before and never talking to me again is a bit rude.

But I moved on will look some more :)

Well good for you :) (not the girl being aloof but the moving on attitude :p)

No more POF for me. Granted I only gave it a week, but I've managed to find about three people I thought were worth messaging, two of whom didn't reply.
Got plenty of messages from old ladies and beasts.

To be honest I simply can't be bothered. Feels a bit lame actually searching, and seems a bit desperate messaging a random stranger.

Ironically, I'd have happily asked Spy out for a drink if she didn't live so far away, and I met her on here, not POF!

Don't think it's the way to go for me, but good luck with your rods and nets all :)

I replied :D

Wait..you're still buying me two drinks at the meet right ? :p;) a promise is a promise. Don't make me change it to three :p hehe!!

A little update from me I am currently messaging 5 guys hehe :D

One from here so I think he's just messaging me out of politeness?? :p
One I'm slightly unsure of, he looks older than his profile says in some of his pictures but we are getting on ok by text and he seems nice.
Another said he's from somewhere then said a while later he was from somewhere else, but it's close to the place he first mentioned. So I'm not sure I can't get an idea of whether he's that keen or not. We are texting as well.
Two others who are both a fairly short distance from me, still chatting on pof.

I've had to reach the point of just ignoring those I'm not interested in. I feel bad as I never used to. Some are completely weird so it's understandable but the others they seem nice but I just don't know how to say it.

There was another guy I messaged, he replied, I replied, he's been online since and not responded but he is also the one who seemed to be on there twice so I'm not too fussed about that.

Have a possible date in a couple of weeks. Bit nervous just thinking about it but it gives me a bit of extra time to look good and get some confidence hehe.

Who knows I might bump into someone gorgeous at the London meet and hit it off. Someone like Michael Buble perhaps :p

I hope I do find someone decent and long lasting. Then my niece can get off my back about being a failure and becoming a lesbian.

Why would that matter? :confused:

Are you worried they wouldn't want someone who doesn't drink or do you only want a girl who doesn't?

The one thing a guy wants is to get a reply to his introductory email so to send anything back is going to be viewed as a positive. The game you're playing is getting to know someone with the view to meeting and dating. To start chatting for the sake of it is a real kick in the balls for a guy on a dating site and I know; one woman immediately cut all contact the second I asked if she wanted to meet up so she was obviously just chatting to be 'friendly'. It's not an IRC chat room, it's a dating site.

Drinking is a massive social part in peoples lives, and thats something i have no interest in. So i doubt it would be fair to the girls who do drink (read most) that do enjoy it.

Haha, how old is your niece?

14 soon lol. She randomly said to me "Have you ever considered becoming a lesbian?" I said "no why?" to which she replied "well you've had three boyfriends and you're not doing so well are you"

cheeky minx! Now it's four ex boyfriend's and she's still making comments.

Bakes0310 I agree with Fireskill.

I've put that I drink socially but my nights out occur every month or so if that but I'd be lying if I said no and yes would imply I drink a lot. It doesn't bother me if someone doesn't drink as long as they don't make me feel bad for having the odd one. You can still have a good night out without alcohol.
 
just got a message from OkCupid, and she seems pretty hot as well :D.

The only downside is it's the worst one liner I've ever seen at "Hey".

It's a good job I find her really attractive otherwise it'd be the ignore list! :D

I think you'll be surprised at some people. I sometimes drive and therefore don't drink and its never really is an issue.

To be honest on all the dates I've been on recently I've always driven either back home after the meal/drink or whatever, or took the lady in question back home (got to be the gentleman and ensure your date gets home safely, after all...). It's not a massive social aspect as far as I can see.

Bide your time, wait 'til she starts having boyfriends and then you can get your own back. Or just get a girlfriend to rub her face in it.

Haha. But on a serious note I think the women who pay to go on dating sites are a bit more serious.

I had that theory about guys when I used match.com. The men I went on dates with proved me wrong :p

There is no way I'd be a lesbian. I can appreciate a good looking woman but despite being constantly jerked about by men I still find them attractive :p (well some!)
 
I physically don't believe it.. Someone, who opened with a one liner has actually written something legible and interesting back!
