The wink means he's winking, thinking about you, with your picture infront of him and some man size tissues...

Neil, on the date, imagine she's a Munter and you don't fancy her. You'll be amazed how that changes you. Sounds like you are far too nervous and edgy. Women like confidence and to feel safe with you.

Hmmmm well if you were there you probably wouldn't think so, we even went to the local national park. She was on my shoulders trying to use the climbing rail, we were both laughing. Actually she was laughing a lot so was i, that's why i felt that it was going so well... Believe me i can tell when when dates are going bad, the urge to " i've got to go " or that mobile keeps coming out. But i spent pretty much 11am till 5pm with her, she was the one who wanted to stay longer and wasn't bothered by time. I only said to her once are you ok for time? or shall we stay. Nope i'm ok for time, lets go here

Remember when it comes to forums not all of us are the same in person, some are keyboard warriors but in person very timid. I've seen arguments where people have said , are you a teenager? only for the person to be 41+

I'd like to chip in here. You spent 6 hours in one day with her! That is a bit much on reflection for a date. Remember the rule that they are strangers and you want to get to know them slowly.

Cause Chronic loves analogies:
You don't sprint towards a rabbit and expect it not to run?

I turned anomynous ever since I started clicking boobies and ocuk links.

Ok well I guess I must be playing games but unaware of it then......
I've just rejected someone on Skype :o

[11:30:05] Andrzej: so when do u want to meet up again? ;)
[13:06:06] Tina: ermmmmm
[13:08:11] Tina: i think you're a nice guy... but would like nothing more than just friends.. happy to meet up as friends still though
[13:09:06] Andrzej: sure ;)

But did you say "no"?

You have just played a woman's typical game: men in orbit.

You are keeping him around. ;)

Andrzej isn't OrangePeel is it? :P

How would you recommend i handled that then?, If i say i've got to go it may seem like i'm not interested and want to run away from her as fast as poss. But if we are having a good time, why ruin it?. Countless times i've seen others in this thread spend most of the day on a date, if she's nice that is.

My ex girlfriend for example, i met her at the bar... We went to a theme park and then for a walk most of that evening together i was a year in that relationship. I suppose if the right girl comes along it just works :D :D
 
All i can say is that thank god im with someone:p...geez i dont think i could handle all this internet dating lark...i tried it a few times with pretty good success but its still a haedache and minefield...thankfully i met my current gf through the old fashioned way ie out in the real world:p...

But reading the past few pages, it seems like internet dating is still crazy lol
 
I was about to give up on this when I had to women message me last night which was a bit surprising, so shall see how it goes.

Be careful what you say about MisChief not give us all the details ;)

and no it's not me. I've not yet made it back to the world of online dating, yet ;)
 
Just catching up with the thread, Orange Peel did you lose the plot? Trying to apply logic to female thought process?! You're a mad man! :D

Very true about that if its the right girl. However it can send warning signals such as that you may be wishy washy and can't make decisions for yourself. Or that you will make them your life. Hope you can see my points. Like Chronic said, self confidence can be shown through being in control of yourself, plus why not end a date on a high?

When you meet someone in person and you click, then go out or a date it just seems to work!

But online dating, it's not easy at all :(

Not necessarily, ive met girls off line and went out for a date, got on real well but it hasnt amounted to anything but friendship if anything. #

Online dating of course isnt easy...its hard plus with people not being who they really are, makes it much more difficult...ive had my fair share of fakes lol.
 
I am trying out POF but really sucks one answers.
maybe should just try to be mysterious on my profile and only put pictures in certain lighting from a good direction.

The winking thing doesn't bother me. It could just be a 'Sure, but I ain't giving up just yet ;)' or a 'Sure, I don't want to seem upset so I'll just wink to make it seem like I'm cool about it ;)'
Click to expand...

I'd go along with that.

I wouldn't believe some of the people knowing for sure what x person really means. If they were able to figure that out so quickly then they wouldn't have such a hard time with internet dating in general.

I don't mean to sound harsh ;)
 
ok people I don't know what to do so I'm putting my dating life in your hands (so to speak)

Here's the low down

- Bf who I met on pof dumped me about a month ago, I still feel quite upset by it, I know we were only together a few weeks but I guess I really did get my hopes up because all the boxes were being ticked and he seemed to be the one being more clingy then me

- My dad has cancer of the bladder, he's getting treatment etc but no idea how it's going to go. I only found out yesterday from overhearing a conversation that the treatment won't get rid of it completely it's just going to hopefully give him more time

- I've been really stressed with work with the other points getting to me as well so I started having anxiety attacks and for the past month have been on a real low.

- I still live with my parents while I frantically try to find a place to move to. I know most guys say this doesn't bother them but it bothers me and I think it secretly does annoy them as well.

so....

I'm now feeling a bit better about a few things, doctor is helping me with medication and counselling, I'm slowing catching up at work but I'm still getting the odd anxiety attack and feeling exhausted a lot.

I want to meet someone new but I don't know whether to get back into the dating world or whether to hold fire and carry on as I am :confused:

I know people will probably read this and think "wow she is ****** up" :(

Everyone has problems and issues, no one decent would think you're ****** up. You seem like a nice person who's just having some bad luck, it may be worth waiting a little while longer for things to work themselves out a bit more and for you to feel a bit better with yourself after a bit more counselling and hopefully for your dads condition to have improved a bit so you're more at ease regarding that.

Though in the end, you're the only one who knows if you're ready to get back into dating and possibly a relationship.
