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

I never know what to say in a message to women on POF, to try and make it sound original and to stand out from the probably 10s women get on there each day is difficult.

About Me
So on here to look and see if I can find a like minded lass, seems quite difficult or maybe I am not trying hard enough?

Anyway my hobbies involve kickboxing/Yoga/Gym and motorbike rideouts. I try to keep fit as often as possible but always end up changing my mind on the goals.
Working as a postman is pretty demanding so forcing myself down the gym after work is hard but hardwork pays off in the end.

Want to be able to live comfortably and afford holidays/days out hopefully in a job I enjoy and can see myself staying in, yet to find said job though. Really I am pinning hopes on a lottery win working is pretty rubbish, am I being to wishful?

Would say I have a good sense of humour and never take life to seriously, I enjoy messing about having a laugh and not getting to hung up on things. I try and live a stress free life, theres no need to try and make it harder for yourself is there? What's the point? Enjoy it whilst you have it!

I listen to all sorts of music, on occassions. I try and keep it varied but find myself listening to House/Rock/DnB some pop and quite a bit of the radio when out and about all day. Keeps me motivated and going, imagine how bad life would be with no music! It get's me through a lot.

First Date
First date is completely dependant on the person really so without knowing that person a little bit could be quite hard to judge.

Would keep it simple drinks some nice food and a get to know you. Second date (hopefully) would have a better idea and could take it from there.

Try this instead (IMO)
About Me
I've signed up to find a like minded girl I can share some good times with.

My hobbies involve a fair bit of sport; Kickboxing, Yoga and going to the gym. I reguarly go on Motorbike rideouts for the experience and scenery.

I work full time as a postman which in itself can be a physically demanding job, but I thoroughly enjoy it.

I have a good sense of humour and never take life to seriously. I enjoy socialising, having a laugh with friends and experiencing new things. I try and live a stress free and enjoyable life whilst keeping things different from time to time.

I listen to all sorts of music, on occassions. I try and keep it varied but find myself listening to House/Rock/DnB some pop and quite a bit of the radio. Music keeps me motivated and going, imagine how bad life would be with no music!

First Date
Pirturesque walk, followed by a drink in a local.

You justt seemed a bit down on yourself, and asking questions in a description about yourself makes you sound undecisive and limp. Be confident and know what you are like.
 
I tried and got a whole load of weirdos message me so canned the profile pretty much straight away

i get bored of being single sometimes and do think i might give it another bash at some point but never know what to say....i mean how hard is it to meet a nice guy lol

It's fairly easy to find a nice guy, but find a nice guy who you also find attractive and is also single, probably a fair bit harder.
 
Just seen the thread.

I have done internet dating and now I am married my to my wife who I met online.
Turns out that she lived in the same town as me. Happy as can be after 7 years and still going strong.
It works once you filter out the *&$^. You do get genuine people but they are rare.

Few tips from me

1. Don't lie about anything
2. Be patient
3. Don't trust people at least until you have been talking to them for some time.
4. Get IM contacts (create alt one from your main to prevent spam) Same goes with email addy

Nicely re-worded Matt.
Looks much better, a more confident writing style.
 
Apparently this is what happens if you're smoking hot and looking for an intimate encounter. :D

The girl I had a date with on Fri showed me that she had 417 unread messages, she said it is impossible to read them all. She had been getting abuse also for not replying.
 
hmmm, wonder if anyone has any advice for me;

I've been on a few dates with a woman I meet online a couple of months ago and we've been texting/facebooking every day for the last 3 or so weeks. everything seemed to be going pretty well, similar interests, motives, morals and goals, her parents are nice and we seemed to be opening up quite well to each other, she'd basically told me I was everything on her 'check list'.

now this weekend I met her in London and we had a really good time, both really comfortable with each other so on Monday evening after work I thought I'd ask if she wanted to take it a bit more seriously (trust me I put it more eloquently than that! (and no, I wasn't pestering for sex!)) and now she's just not responded either way and doesn't seem to be talking to me, after talking non-stop during and after work for a handful of weeks I'm just feeling a little hollow.

am I over thinking it? is she just thinking about her answer? have I wrecked it?

so confused...I'll never understand women!

You asked her if she wanted to get serious after one date?
