I know, thanks. I've tried to just be myself and be honest in my profile. I mainly just wanted people to check for any 'red flags' that might immediately put lots of girls off. I haven't had a massive success rate with messaging, I find it hard to be 'funny' without coming across as an idiot. Then again, some girls might just not be attracted to me or my personality, and that's fair enough. It's just a matter of time, I think. I've messaged two girls about grabbing a drink sometime, so just waiting to hear back from them :)

Awesome stuff.

I might delete that picture. I also agree about the 'developing over time' thing, it's much easier to find people with similar interests on here plus there's less of the awkwardness of first contact.

I think you come across as a great bloke tbh and I wouldn't worry about "red flags" - as if you're being you, the women that get put off are the ones you don't want. I always thought being a primary school teacher would be great, but it seems to me you're treated with suspicion if you're not married with kids of your own - so probably not the best job for me!
 
So, an update!

I met the girl from Pof earlier today, we had a nice coffee and chat. She's actually quite good looking and really interesting. After an hour or so chatting, I walked her home, made plans to get dinner and drinks on Sunday and gave her a hug bye. Shame the next date is almost a week away, but she works full time and I'm pretty busy in the week too :( Looking forward to it though!

And now for the next bit... just an hour or so ago, I got a message from a girl I was chatting to on OKC saying she'd like to meet up for a coffee tomorrow. Two dates in a row? Score! ;) :D
 
A week is good apeZ. Waiting is fun I think. Lots more to chat about after a week too.

I am having no luck at the moment. I was chatting to four girls the other day. Now pretty much all died out. My first reaction to one that messaged me was "wow". she was stunning and her profile read really well. She was funny in her messages, but then they just stopped.

Always a bit gutting, but it doesn't really bother me now.
 
Well, what do I do now!!!! :( I have met a lovely girl, been on about 9 dates and are very close, were basically in a relationship and she has even stayed over a few times now, however tonight she kinda told me she's planning to go away for 9 months for work.
I'm not going to stop her, her choice but what do I do. 1. End something I am happy about cause of that? 2. Ride out the good times, then feel awful that she's going.
:(
 
bad timing :(. its annoying as if she knew this before then why would she bother pursuing dating.

You have no choice but to let her go obviously, you havent been together long enough to even say anything other than you will miss her and you are sorry that you had not met her at another period.

Agree with this, guess it's just bad timing unfortunately.

3. Accept she only got involved for a bit of fun. She probably knew she was going away.

Thats, the thing. It has not been developing like a bit of fun. She younger than me and I can tell she's not the type for just a bit of fun. I'm going to ask her what the deal is, as it was more of a passing comment about work so might not be set in stone, but because we haven't said we are together yet I don't want to act lick a clingy weirdo.
 
Had another date earlier. Not as good as yesterdays, some of the conversation seemed a bit forced and I made the mistake (?) of waiting outside for 15 mins when she was already inside. I got there early though...

She's pretty though, and kinda sweet. However, she's only in the country for a few months so I think I'm going to pass and just try and keep things going with the first one :)
 
I met up with another girl last night - BEST DATE YET. We grabbed a coffee, walked around London then joined some other friends in a pub. She's really cute and clever. Not sure if it will work out because of the distance but we mentioned meeting up again soon, so hopefully :)
 
So, I'm back again!

Dated the same girl for 3 months but it never amounted to anything, she is really great and I really wish it worked out but she had a lot of issues and sadly didn't work out.

So here I am!

Had about 5-6 messages since yesterday, only one was really attractive but she hasnt replied since. Not too fussed about finding anyone but who knows.

Dude.
