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

To be fair we were going through a rough patch and had split previously in the year for a month, but I realised how much I loved her in the two weeks that we were apart and knew exactly what had been missing. She however realised that some bloke from Wolverhampton was much more appealing and that was that.

Still trying to get over her 8 months later! :rolleyes:
 
Knowthatfeel.

It sounds like she'd ended it in her head months before the rough patch. Women are experts at this, this is why they can seem to be moving on so quickly when you're left reeling :(

At least she's done the honourable thing and is totally cutting you out, I've found it's the only way that I actually get over it. If they try to be my friend or anything I just cling on to the hope of getting back together and go quite literally insane, like I am currently :p

How did she put your umbrella in the car... do you leave it unlocked or your window wide open?

Either way she sounds like a complete horror, im surprised you didnt cut it short long before the end of the night!

Yea I never lock the car, there's nothing in it to nick. :D
If they are going to steal it then they'll either break the window or jemmy the door, so it's cheaper (should I get it back) to leave it unlocked and let them get on with it. :D

There were people in the club I knew anyway so the night wasn't wasted. ;)

I can confirm, whilst wandering the streets of Cheltenham she was yet another fruit loop.
She had put on about 5 stone compared to her pics
She didn't shut up all night.
Spoke at a volume that the whole restaurant could hear.
Constantly repeated herself.
Spoke with her cake hole full of food so that when she spoke, bits fell out of her mouth.
Constantly adjusted herself, brushed off her dress like it was dirty, flicked her hair back every ten sseconds.
Talked about wanting kids before she was 40.
About how she wasnt into commitment.
Got totally trollied, lost her phone. Accused half the club of stealing it, Got in a strop and left the night club, not before asking to borrow 20 quid for a taxi home though.

Bye bye then lol.

The most stalky thing though is finding her umbrella on my passenger seat when I got back to the car. Bearing in mind I havent offered her a lift or taken care of any of her belongings at any point in the evening. The only thing i did during the evening is point out which car was mine when we walked past on the way to the next pub.
So... This would have been at the end of the night, after she left the club. WTF would you put belongings in someone's car you don't know but then immediately get a taxi home...
I can only guess she thinks that will be an excuse to meet me again.
Well she can jog on!

Crazy bitch is crazy..

I'm more alarmed by the fact that you went night-clubbing with her after the meal. Surely eating with her was enough of a warning? :D

Seriously, don't sign up to e-harmony. In my experience it was absolutely terrible, you get drip fed matches most of whom haven't even uploaded a picture on their account and like match you have no idea if the people you are emailing are even subscribing. I paid £18 for 3 months and even that wasn't good value for money.

I thought about the subscribing thing.
They can all send the "ice breakers" yet no one actually pays to sign up.
The ones that have messaged have all upped photos but as far as I know they could be of absolutely anything!
There appears to be a email message option where you can send what you want to them, I presume the message thing filters out sneaky email addresses so you can speak outside of the website i.e " Email me at " name at email dot com " if you want to chat more."

I'm avoiding e-harmony out of principle. My Ex and I were having some time out after 2yrs before Christmas last year while we tried to iron out a few issues, she joined their site & found a new bloke within 2 weeks and I haven't seen her since :(

That is a total kick in the balls! Best rid of her TBH!
On the plus side (for her and new bloke anyway) the website worked.

Hot tip to get around this - send a picture of your email address :p

Aye, that's the conclusion I came to myself. I could've done a lot more to make the relationship work though so I guess I only have myself to blame - although the way and how quickly it went down will never sit well with me.

As much as it sucks, being cut out is the only way forward like you say. She's emailed a couple of times and she text me on my birthday, I've fallen into the trap of trying to remind her how well we used to get on a few times by carefully crafting my replies, but I've since learned that a short and polite response is the best approach.

Ahh well, you win some you lose some :)

I sometimes wish my ex would cut me out. While we were together I said to her that if she ever split up with me the only way I would ever properly accept it is by her just completely cutting me out.

Well she didn't listen to me! We're going to Greece together in 3 weeks for 10 days (we had planned this before we split up), but we're "not putting a label on anything". It actually makes sense as there were underlying issues that we'd need to get over before even thinking about getting back together again, but it doesn't make it simple at all. Total mind**** if I'm honest.

I wish I had the balls to just sever, but when it comes to love it turns out I'm enormously pathetic! Ah well, at the very least it'll be "interesting" :D
 
If there's a chance you might reconcile then there's no harm in staying in contact, although perhaps the holiday might be make or break!

Then again, if it's over for good then you really need to get out of there if you still have feelings for her, no good will come of it and you'll end up far worse off in the longrun.

Oh dear.. Sounds like a date from hell! :p

I've been messaging this guy and he writes the longest emails ever. He can take one small sentence and turn it into an essay. It's good that he can make conversation, but his messages are so long.. He's kinda putting me off a little :o

I'm often guilty of that. Especially if they reply long.
 
Well I went through a stage of getting a few messages, exchanged numbers with someone and was texting, she use to call which I was a little surprised with at first but no contact for a few days.

More of my doing though as I don't want to take it any further.

I did get a message from a bloke last night though "Hey, Nice pics! How ya doing?" not for the first time may I add :/
 
Just killed my account on PoF, I must've looked over the same profiles about 1000 times now and I'm getting bored! The ones I like don't seem to be responding, and the ones who email me are all hags.

I'm moving to a new town in a couple of weeks so will try things the old-fashioned way for a bit and see how I get on. Hopefully my boundless charm and rugged good looks will see me through! :p

Good luck to the rest of you :)
 
I'd had a couple of dates with a great girl from PoF, funny, intelligent, can hold a conversation and has a brilliant quality of not knowing she's pretty dam hot!

All was going well but she got ill for a week and it didn't look like I was going to be able to see her before she went on holiday for two weeks what with pre holiday plans etc. Then on Friday she said she was free (her mum who she had had plans with had gotten ill with the same thing) so we met up for a drink. Had a totally great time again, and kissed her before she headed home, which from texts and phone calls yesterday she really liked :D

She's now on a plane to the US and we've arranged to see each other again when she gets back but now I've got to wait two weeks to see her again :'( bloody typical!
 
Well, after almost forgetting I was on plentyoffish, I got messages today by a really nice good looking grammar nazi! It's refreshing to be able to have a decent conversation with someone my age :)

Oh and she has the coolest name ever.

Karis Fear.

:):):):)

Either of the two on FB :p
 
I met my GF on a site called tagged, i had forgotten that i had signed up with it as at the time i was getting very dispondent with internet dating. She tagged on my pic, we started talking and we have been together now for 3 years, getting married next year.
And yes some long distance relationships do work.

And I'm not sure, I haven't got to the point of adding her yet, although I do have her number :)

Edit: just done a quick search on fb, yes she is, (the blonde one). She is rather nice looking :)

I think she would be if she toned down the amount of makeup it looks like she's got on :)
