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

Just signed up to Lovestruck, isn't it kind of stalkerish if you can see where people work? Guess it makes it easy to spot the singles on the train though rather than just a lingering stare. >:3
 
Man, OkCupid is heaving with ladies. Speaking to two Frenchies, a Norwegian, Scot and Yank. Now, is it just me or do they all seem to be rather hot too. Have only seen one whale and naturally she emailed me right away :rolleyes:

Good little site so far.
 
The sea be awash with big girls. If that's what you're into.

Update: re the girl I mentioned; haven't spoken to her since Wednesday via the wonderful world of WhatsApp, we were supposed to hang out Tuesday after she got drunk on the Friday before and didn't feel well wanting to hang out on the Saturday. Naturally I'd be disappointed but there's no point getting wound up at such an early stage of knowing her. She's on holiday hence not speaking to her since midweek but she seems genuine enough to maybe go somewhere with.

Ah.
 
So Iv'e been talking to a girl on OKCupid for a week and a bit and we finally met today and yeah... I'm seriously punching above my weight, but what was supposed to be meeting for a coffee and that's it turned into coffee, a lap round the local lake then laying on the grass for 4 hours just talking (I'm really sun burnt >.<). We got a long absolutely great and it's clear to see this can go some where, but when we parted company it was a bit awkward as she blatantly wanted me to go in for a kiss but we ended up just hugging and I gave her a kiss on the head (she's 5ft 1") as I think it makes me look a bit desperate snogging each others faces off hours after meeting! I told her I would message her online about going out later in the week which is fine, but thinking about leaving it till tommorow evening before I message her :confused: First online dating date so trying to learn online dating etiquette I guess :D
 
Bah, there are no rules. If she is sane then one message saying thanks for a lovely afternoon shouldn't send her running to the hills. Calling repeatedly and constantly messaging would send anyone running. One message, see if you get anything back. :)

However you should realise that I am single at the moment, so what do I know! :D

lol... you'll get the hang of it again soon.

Etiquette is similar to real life... if you like them then get their number on the first date. Message them soon after to arrange the next date, chat to them a bit online, but not too much... its a common mistake to get to know people too quickly online instead of face to face, and imo this has consequences later. Kiss her next time though and don't be such a wuss, make sure she knows you're interested too, up the flirting next time.

As said you should have firstly got her number and secondly gone for the kiss upon parting.

FWIW, I met my current girlfriend online. We exchanged messages for about an hour or so over two nights. I mention going out and she agreed, I used that as a good reason for getting a number. First date was cinema, I know its generally **** but it was all I could think of, but it worked. Afterwards we went back to hers stuck a film on a talked, rather than going straight for a kiss I kissed the side of her head to see the reaction and took it from there.

Almost 5 months ago now and we're an item and both very happy
 
I seem to be one of those people that no one wants to talk to. I have tried several styles of profiles and opening messages, and nothing. occasionally I will get a message back saying something like 'hi' but never a second reply.

You just have to make yourself stand out from the crowd.

Look at ahlecks or however you spell it, he's a perfect example.

These girls read plenty of generic profiles/opening messages everyday.

I guess. problem is, I have already messaged all the good ones in like a 25 mile radius :p so gunna have to wait 6-12months for new ones :(

Just message again?, chances are if they didn't message you back in the first place then they wouldn't remember if you had messaged them.

It's the photos. Also, bear in mind that having kids will probably reduce your response rate by about 70%.

Trouble is how do you "stand out from the crowd" when like me, you don't. I'm not a thrill seeker so cant list any out of the ordinary hobbies/activities like rock climbing/sky diving etc because they frankly don't interest me one bit. I'm boring (well what society seems to deem so) in comparison, but I'm happy being boring so thats not going to change any time soon. Surely there are women out there who like the quieter side of life and are just as content at being what society seems to deem as "boring" that aren't thrill seekers, fitness freaks etc.

After meeting my new gf on Match.com have now deleted all my dating accounts as things have gone well since we first met.

Was good fun and a very good way to meet new people.

Keep at it and hope you all find what you're looking for.
 
i have registered on one of the sites.. been chatting with 6 girls this evening.. funny thing is the youngest one literally wants to.... right now.. im a bit "cmon its too fast" but at the same time im playing with the idea..

im not really there to find a gf or anything like that(way too soon for me) just some online fun and chats so nothing serious at all.
