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

[Prophet]

Mischief - I't was just an observation. I think if you read your posts below as a 3rd party you'll see where the confusion originated from.

Came across a profile on POF of someone I used to work with... He's pretty cute Sent him a message saying he looks rather familiar and he replied with 'Haha I know you!' and asked if I've left the company. It's a bit awkward so I think I'll let that one slip....

Sorry I guess this is where I didn't make it clear - I did reply to him and even asked him how he's finding POF and wished him luck. I'm not expecting a reply and it feels a bit weird talking to someone I know on POF which is why I said I think I'll let that one slip.

Ahleckz - I don't care at all. We're on a forum where people reply to posts. As I said it's an observation and I won't lose any sleep over it. You seem to care more about what I think than I do!

Also, I explained how MisChief could have sent a platonic email to avoid the awkward situation she feels she's in. Did you miss that?

Elixir - Nah, I'm just a very quick thinker Glad you understand where I'm coming from though

I better check my Skout and Boosk account, girls have probably been trying to get hold of me

EDIT: Not Boosk, Badoo! I got mixed up with Zoosk and Badoo

Don't take it as anything just yet mate. I always give it a full 24 hours before making my mind up..

Then if she's still not replied and you see her online you can always get an answer by sending her "Hey, did you get my text the other night. I have the feeling I got your number wrong so just wanted to check"

Either she will reply with an answer or not. Either way you'll find out

 

[Neil79]

Ahh i went out that day and texted about 5hrs later, i wont change my mind about this one, maybe it was too soon to send a text but the way i feel is if you like someone let them know.

I won't push it anymore , ball is in her court now

 

[MisChief]

You must have known he would know you from working together and therefore already known you wouldn't want to date him.

Or how about the other way round - he wouldn't want to date me?

What reason would you have to email him other than to get a quick ego boost?

Accusing me of wanting a quick ego boost when you didn't even know the full story? lol.

From reading your first posts then reading others after you've been questioned there seems to be a common trend.

Common trend? What are you accusing me of there? Telling tales? Attention seeking?

Even if you're not 100% sure you still sent one which by default means you want a reply.

And what's wrong with wanting a friendly reply to say 'Hey, I know you! How have you been?' Doesn't have to be 'Hey, wanna go on a date?' does it?!

Job done in a friendly way without leading them on..

You accusing me of leading him on?

I mean, really? It just seems like you have something against me? Don't try and act smart, especially when you don't even know me or fully understood the situation.

That's the best idea Neil. Don't be aloof but don't pressure her. Hope for the best!

Thanks!

But you don't care about that right?

Accusing me of wanting a quick ego boost when you didn't even know the full story? lol.

Observation which I questioned not an accusation.

Common trend? What are you accusing me of there? Telling tales? Attention seeking?

You've posted before and had people comment only to reveal information that shows the post in a different light. It's not the first time you've said "Sorry I guess this is where I didn't make it clear" Perhaps being more clear in the first place...?

And what's wrong with wanting a friendly reply to say 'Hey, I know you! How have you been?' Doesn't have to be 'Hey, wanna go on a date?' does it?!

You accusing me of leading him on?

Nothing at all. I never said there was anything wrong with it, did I? Again you first post gave the impression you were interested "cute" and not that you were just sending a friendly email. I even posted an example of how a platonic email. You have an uncanny way of twisting words!

I mean, really? It just seems like you have something against me? Don't try and act smart, especially when you don't even know me or fully understood the situation.

I have nothing against you at all. I made an observation that you even apologised for not being clear enough about in the first place. I don't have to act smart it's in black and white on the screen for all to see!

And you're right about not understanding the situation. You change it constantly!

People can either agree with me, disagree with me or not give a damn. I think enough has been said to make it clear one way or another

As you say I don't know you which is true so I can only go on what's written. I'm not the only one who thinks how I do, I'm just the one who's actually question you about it. You used the word accused three times too. Maybe the lady does protest too much

 

[MisChief]

I don't 'change' the situation at all. Instead of me being more clear, why don't you ask instead of accuse or even 'question' in an accusing way/tone. I'm posting on a forum, I see it as a place to ask questions or think out loud. It's not like I'm writing a book or an article and need to make sure the entire audience will understand what I'm saying, who cares as much as you do?!?!?!

Anyway. This was never an argument, I'm simply telling you that I am not what you think I am, and I think your responses were a bit OTT. End of.

Priceless!

Let's all relax and have a

 

[Neil79]

Got a reply - Would be nice to meet again but can't do that day of the week

Hmm

 

[Ahleckz]

[Neil79]

Ofcause lol

 

[Redman]

Or you two could get a room


(Orange & Mischief ofc, I'm sensing some tension )

 

[Neil79]

I'd reply with something like, "Ah well, you choose the day and I'll choose the food!"
I hope you spoke to her about food on your date...

" End of the week would be better "

So 7 days away, me thinks this one isn't working out that's along time in dating terms and i liked this girl.

Perhaps she genuinely is busy?

If it wasn't working out she wouldn't want to see you again.

If you're anything like me, (and it sounds like you are) you think way, WAY, WAY too much. Stop it. It's really not healthy!

Just trying to line up a date tomorrow. Will it be full of win or fail? This one seems like a nice girl, time will tell.
