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

The problem is, women like to play games, namely the "I know something you don't know" game, in the respect that we are expected to be mind readers.

Well, me and Leicester girl are just going to be friends, but that's actually fine, as she is really cool, and I can't say I've ever met a good friend randomly, always been through people I know

Doubt it, she moved to London to get out of a serious long term relationship because she didn't want to settle down so young.

Tis a shame, we get on well, I find her very attractive, which rarely happens these days, always one or the other, lol.

I've never done the internet thing myself, never needed to but to be honest the more I hear about it the more I get the impression everyone doing it is a complete nutjob, misfit, social retard or otherwise unable to maintain a normal healthy relationship

Where do I sign up?

This.

Unless you look like a complete slob...

Sometimes this

Do you ever feel it's because you don't get oppotunities? or because your shy?

I just can't relax around womens. If they come with a 10" radius I start to babble nonsensical rubbish, fiddle with my cup/plate/shoes, and look nervously around for reassurance that the world isn't ending.

lol I'm guessing he's a serial fapper..

Lol. Not going there

used to spend ages online talking to pretty girls of all sorts but its no use, found my girl in the Uni reg queue.

Behemoth · 11 Nov 2008 at 11:23

For me it's just a case of I don't feel confident enough to talk to women without making a complete tool out of myself, yet when I'm at work (I work in retail) and I can talk to pretty much anyone and not make a total fool out of myself, but take me out of that situation and I'm useless.

You need to stop worrying about looking like a fool. So what if you do, laugh it off and get on with it.

Anewbe4u · 12 Nov 2008 at 21:05

I'm pleased no one else has stolen my profile!

Anyway, I'm still with my gf I met off there, no more stupid but true stories though.

How is everyone?

I have been chatting to a nice girl and we were gonna meet up next weekend. But she has asked me to go to a gig which a load of her friends are going to. (male and female I think)

Is it just me or is this a lot of pressure for a first date?

Larkspeed · 8 Dec 2008 at 06:46

Well I did not use any dating site or anything like that but I met my wife online.

We were both members of a forum and just got to talking one day and it just went from there

To be fair, lots of women may feel a bit nervous about meeting a strange man so would like the comfort blanket of having their friends around if things go bad, she may also want the opinion of her friends on you!.....or she may just actually want to go to a gig and meet you at the same time.

I'd say if your interested in her, or the gig, go along! nothing to loose. It's diffrent for a first date but theres nothing in the book that says you have to have a quiet drink in the corner of a bar for your first date.

No need to be so stressed, just go along have fun if you get on well with her that's cool if not there's loads more women

. You'll also be able to see if you get on with her friends, who you'll probably end up hanging out with a bit if you are dating.

Just try and relax I've been meeting loads of hot women recently who I get on with really well just because I'm not trying find anyone at the moment so I'm really relaxed and can have a laugh with them

Fuzz · 8 Dec 2008 at 12:41

I'd say it was less pressure as there is no one on one requirement to make conversation, that'll be much easier in group situation i would have thought.
Just pretend you're all friends and get to know everyone as well as her, maybe you'll end up with her best mate LOL, stranger things have happened

leaskovski · 8 Dec 2008 at 12:41

You never know, you might hit it off with one of her mates! Internet threesome for the win!

OtherSide · 8 Dec 2008 at 13:30

Spent some time with a lass I found on that Facebook application 'Are you interested?'. It's turned out pretty darn good!

Friday we just chilled and watched a few dvd's (although we mostly spoke all through them lol), it was wierd first meeting up like that, but it was good to break the ice for Saturdays plans together. On Saturday we went sledging in the lakes and that was totally mint, had a right good time and I almost got my car stuck in the snow haha. She was also round mine last night, we was chilling out watching bits and bobs on tv, and we ended up kissing and cuddling towards the end of the night.

Well chuffed me

. She's going to teach me climbing this weekend too o//.

yep, i met a girl though plentyoffish. Spent a week or so talking to her on msn, then met up on saturday. Just kept it simple and went for a walk along the southbank from vauxhall bridge down to London Bridge tube station. She decided we should go back to hers and warm up. So watched a couple of moves etc....
