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

Ha, back when I joined twitter I didn't really know what to do or who to follow, so started off by following interesting local people.
This local woman tweeted a pic of her poorly Pajero on an AA truck.
I offered to fix it (at a later date) on the cheap / free.
She took me up on the offer but we ended up fixing it, selling and splitting the profit instead. She was happy (didn't want it any more anyway) and I got paid a decent amount for what turned out to be a small job in the end. (headgasket)
What turned out to be a bit weird is that her dad IS Warners Motor group! so she wasn't as destitute as she came across on her OMG CAR BROKEN tweet. :o

I can categorically say that wouldn't have been the case with this one!!;)

Probably the previous one who never wanted to do anything...

I vaguely remember something about a Christian charity worker not wanting anything before marriage due to her beliefs being mentioned somewhere before.
 
well the one that seemed ok, have spoken to in great length for the last couple of days, agreed to meet up and all, just went south. I guess it was a case of her talking to several people keeping her options open, and I wasn't the best of the bunch :p
 
oh, and just to add, girl number 2 is the one I posted the conversation about that everyone was soo quick to judge ;) she apologised for not getting back sooner but was snowed under with work and would like to meet up. so yeh, maybe not all women conform to the ideology of needing to be wowed in 1 message ;)

I never said she was a keeper. but my point was, everyone saying technique is all about wowing them in the first message isn't always the case. some people don't buy into that being over cocky/confident stuff.

Doubt that was said, though I might be wrong, but you need to be yourself in the message and not approach like a wounded puppy or use too much self effacing humour.

Anyway, I'm glad you're at least talking to girls and setting up dates. A good forward step from what we've spoken about the last few months :)

No brah, I was being serious. She must've been gushing at the thought of you fixing up your dinner after a long hot day :cool:

im not one for being someone im not. why pretend to be overly confident and wow them with some one liner, when they would soon realise after the first meeting that im nothing like that.
I have set my sights lower (but not like fugly or anything, just filtered out the ones that seemed like party goers) and am having a lot more success. my biggest issue is age. they are either 20-23 and well, in my opinion too young, or 25-30 but look like they are in their late 30s :(
 
I met an ex of mine on a dating site. He lived 50 miles away from me and it just didn't work out because he had to move to London which is further than 50 miles away. The job he did meant that he had to be out most weekends entertaining high profile clients.

I met someone local not long after, went into Halfords for some de-icer and came out with de-icer and the bloke's number lol.

So what was he supposed to say when asked what he was up to? Should he tell a lie and say he saved some old dear from getting mugged on his way home from work AFTER saving a baby from a burning building??

Please do enlighten me...

I believe this is right. I should lie, make myself out to be this totally awesome always doing crazy exciting things, so when we meet she can feel let down and disappointed by what is actually presented to her.
