Well, yes. Why else would I message her?

Replying with 2 words isn't polite, not replying at all is more polite. I wouldn't say I was bitchy either, maybe a little harsh and sarcastic, but hey 'Banter! lolz'

But yes, having expectations of how a girl should respond (if she chooses to do so) makes me very bitter. Must be that past relationship, projecting all my insecurities and negative feelings onto all future women. Perhaps I should have pandered for her attention, heck them 2 word answers are great one-way conversation aids. Or maybe sent a 2 word question, that would have really got the ball rolling.

But hey, a guy who knows what kind of sense of humour he likes in a girl and tries to find out = bitter. But 2 world replies from a girl = being polite and girl power, amirite?

And, I asked her what the one thing materialistic or not she couldn't live without is and why. Maybe I should have just sent her a picture of my penis.

Well anyway, good luck with the whole online dating thing :)
 
Well, I finally got down to manning up and breaking up with my GF.
It was tough and she wasn't a happy bunny. I was expecting tears etc but she went mental at me. She was really angry and accused me of wasting 8 months of her life.

I feel better for it. I'll miss her but it wasn't to be. She wasn't the right woman.

I'll give it a few months and then get back on the horse with the internet dating again.

lol. i kind of agree with Holliday, and from reading what he sent i have done similar in that i've messaged someone clearly who is a complete wrong choice for me, hoping i might be pleasantly surprised at her come back, as i like the idea that it's not your fairytale match that is the best but the one who you never saw coming.

exactly, i mean i had one where i said hello, gave her a compliment and asked if she fancied a chat sometime, nothing full on, she replied and it seemed okay, 5 minutes in she states im a freak, and on a scale of one to ten how desperate i was, from a girl who had every pic with her on nights out, and a profile that stated "getting blaked" and ideal date as "bucking" lmao never go straight to IM chat before reading profile people lmao

I automatically knew you were a north-eastenenrenrnenrnener when I was reading this. "blaked" and "bucked" seem to be standard words around these parts :P Especially the boro. ;)
 
Went on a date on Friday, you’ll like this one or cringe massively.
It started quite late (10pm) because she had to come from west country but lives in London. A three hour journey.

I took her to a little arty joint because she's a set designer, she'd like the decor - she'd been there before so that was fairly fruitless.

Conversation was good, a smidge awkward at times but went on quite well for 2 hours or so. I tried to do a lot of the talking but I don't think she was ever comfortable. She was really nice and interesting.

At the end of it, there was an incredibly long awkward silence and I couldn’t carry the conversation on anymore – I panicked and said:

“well I’m out of conversation, ready to leave?”

So we left and said our goodbyes.
Oops. I didn't feel awkward at the time but in retrospect, I should have asked if she wanted another drink.

She text me at about 3am saying “well that ended quite abruptly, nice to meet you, have a great weekend x”

Felt bad so text her in the morning saying "Haha, I'm socially awkward and It was nice meeting her and if she wanted to go to the david bowie exhibition in march." She said yes, she'd like that.

Some people are a glutton for punishment.

I'm a bit rusty, this was my fourth date in 2 years. My second from online dating.
 
you asked her to go to something in march? seems miles away, text her and ask if she wants to go some where next week to make up for the abrupt ending.

i wouldn't worry too much about the ending, if she likes you that shouldn't put her off you, might make her think wish it had gone better but it wont stop her from allowing you to make it up to her, and now you've got a great excuse to see each other again real soon to make up for it. sounds like you had a good date and did a better job then her any way. i often hear the advice of leave them wanting more, and you did :)
 
Well, it seems to be going ok with with the girl i met, i found myself thinking about her last night, well all day actually so i txt her and asked her what she put in the tea the night before because she kept popping up in my head all day, i think she liked that.
