Well I'm not wanting to jump the gun, but she's already arranging to meet up again - so looking promising....

Genuinely surprised that it does however appear to work this pof malarkey!

Also - I aint no hussy, I was being gentlemanly ;)
 
This thread needs more epic fail tales, come on people!

I believe i can deliver for you nicely. Its nothing recent, this is from 6 months ago. I hit POF ages ago last year and finally got a message from a very attractive girl around last October. We chatted briefly here and there at first and i said just enough to her to keep her interested. Turned out we had loads in common, more so than i do with most my friends. She was a gamer, loved metal and was mad into movies just like myself. Also a musician and a singer which scored major points.

I asked if she wanted to off into town on a night out but she declined and said she wasnt too much into going out into clubs (neither am i but i didnt mention it yet) and she suggested coming to mine to watch a film/play xbox. Well i thought i was rolling round in pure win. Id met someone completely awesome. More awesome than anyone.

We met, i picked her up and brought her to my place where we spoke for hours. Didnt even get round to any films or games, just talking, getting to know each other. It was a great night. We then met again, this time we hit the 360 and had some beers together and i played her some Metallica tunes on guitar. She seemed totally impressed and things progressed. I thought id hit gold to find not only a stunner but she was into all my hobbies too.

Roll forward a few weeks, she went on holiday to Turkey for a week, while she was there i took the time to get her a christmas pressie as xmas was only a couple of weeks away. When she came back i heard nothing. I text her a few times to which i got nothing. Most odd. I eventually got a reply saying she couldnt meet up because she had a throat infection and didnt feel too good. No probs i thought, i'll leave it a couple of days. So i did and text and called her in the mean time, all of which were ignored. Days later she eventually answered....but this time she had the flu (lies) and i couldnt see her as she was going to Ireland for christmas the next day to see her family.

Christmas and new year rolled round, i sent messages wishing her well but heard absolutely nothing. Once she got back home i got the almighty text saying she couldnt give me what i wanted and pretty much kicked me to the curb. The gift i bought her still sits in a drawer at home. What a waste of time and effort. Shame, she was really awesome too. Gutted!

was expecting more of a epic fail but it just turned to a sad story imo :(
 
Joined POF a few days ago and am not having much luck to be honest.
I am recently single and have decided to give online dating another go. A few years back I met loads of girls on Faceparty so don't have an issue meeting people online.

There are very few single women in my area! Sent about 8 messages so far (all well worded and relevant to their profiles etc) but only had 1 reply and after that I never heard from her again - she was also the nicest looking out the bunch!

To be honest, POF doesn't seem that great to me. Can anyone recommend any others? Don't want to try Match.com because I had problems with that before!

Thanks :)

That is really harsh, no explaination really sucks. Some (all) women are a bit mental in the head, not even having the stones to text you at the start instead of the 4 month string along is just poor form.

Hope things work out for you in the future, whoever it maybe!

Also, when I read your story, I had this in the back of my mind (the music is only version I could quickly find):

What Metallica songs did you play? could have been the deal breaker.

Lol. I played The Day That Never Comes as she had just bought the latest album and loved this track to bits. A few others were played like Damage Inc, ...And Justice For All, Master of Puppets. Plus i threw in a bit of Wishful Thinking by John Petrucci to show i can do more than just thrash.

so what was the present you got her?

I got her a couple of things. 2 CD's which were Disturbed's 'Indestructible' and Trivium's 'Shogun'. Both albums she really wanted, and i got her a necklace. It wasnt too bad with the CD's as i kept them for myself, but the necklace has gone to waste.

Cue the Moyle's music -

Im too nice to these people. I also got blown out last night after my date on Friday (those reading my 'typical...' thread will know it didnt go very well). Got a text saying she wasnt ready for a relationship. So, talking for weeks and getting me to take her out was just pointless. What she meant to say was 'slayer, i want a relationship, just not with you'. I didnt meet her on any internet dating site as such. I was set up by a mate at work and made first contact over facebook.

Just save the necklace to give to someone else in the future :p.
