no no no. flirt back, wait for the obligatory 'hey, I've missed you, maybe we could go out sometime' to which I can reply 'oh, sorry, no, im really not interested, but thanks for letting me know you are as shallow as I thought' :p

Oh and like others have said, ignore the exes. Let them 'mire your new profile pic but don't engage in conversation :p

hmm...........well it does seem the popular opinion. I did semi flirt back, was that mean? I mean, I would never ever go anywhere near them again.

E: I don't think I ever posted my photos before the new look did I? if I did, then yeh, you will understand why they are now interested :p

Could be worse, I always end up sleeping with my exes for a month or so after, finally stopped with my current ex. It's just worth the effort. Really isn't. It's not fun after it goes wrong again.

I have been suckered in a few times with the old batting of the eyelids, flashing a bit of cleavage and expecting me to run around and do whatever they ask. those days are gone.

Just been through your profile - a few typos and you seem a bit cold, like "take it or leave it" kind of personality but that could just be me reading too much into it..

Not sure about "I don't tend to send the first message because I am rather clueless as to what to say first off, please if you do like what you see here say hello." - saying you don't tend to send the first message won't really make a difference. If you don't know what to say first off, ladies might think you struggle to hold a conversation when you do eventually start talking.

I would remove what you've put in your 'First Date' section: "Anything, mutual aggrement on something; and it's not a date is it?, we see if we actually gel and like eachother then we date, makes sense." - sounds like you're trying to protect your own back in case you meet a crazy or something.

Any better?.
 
If someone is giving tips on profiles can they have a look at mine and help me find out where I'm going wrong?

I had one where I put a lot of thought into it, made sure to display my personality down to a T and it got me nowhere so deleted it. Came back recently and tried out a shorter profile.....months later it's still getting me nowhere.

I have sent, probably about 100+ well-thought out messages to my type of girls, read their profiles and spent about 10+ minutes writing a short but sweet message to grab their attention and they don't even respond with a titter to my creative prose (irony last part)

Well this is my last attempt. If someone here gives me some feedback I might continue with this for a little while longer, otherwise won't bother with it again. Depressing everytime I make a round of messages and get no responses and then see that they viewed me. A simple reply would be courteous ladies... :confused:

Be gentle :)

umm............im not female, so it might be me, but that doesn't seem too appealing.
first off, pics aren't too bad, but the profile one with some shades (and maybe a hat) would be better. make sure your main pic is awesome and the text becomes less important.

as for the text. umm.....im not sure what to say, only I personally didn't get it. I got that you were trying to add humour, which is good. but that was all. wait for mischief and that bunch, they are great with words.
 
the person I have been talking to the most on POF last night made me remember why having a gf isn't always a good thing :p she would take (and always has really) sometimes 30mins to reply to message, sometimes longer. this is fine, because no one (well apart from m :p) is glued to the internet 24/7. but last night, I took 5mins maybe, to reply to some messages and got the whole 'you must be busy so I will talk to you soon maybe if your free....' attitude :( seriously, I mean, seriously :mad:
 
Doesn't really help a lot of people. But I thought I would throw in my 2p :p

I've recently moved to Brussels and I have to say online dating is great here. When I was in the UK it was a chore and a half to try keep a conversation with a girl online. In the end conversation would just either die off. Or at the slight mention of meeting up would vanish. I found it quite difficult if I'm honest.

However since I've been in Brussels (approx 5 months now) I've been on about 6 dates with different people :p and the last girl I went on a date with we have been seeing eachother for about 1month now. I think girls are just generally nicer here. Its either that or (and I get this A LOT since I've moved here !) lots of people are curious as to why I've moved to Brussels. It makes a great starting point to talk about as they are really curious as to why I have moved here and conversation can just flow from there.
