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

So I thought I was getting somewhere on POF with a girl. We messaged each other frequently and seemed to get on well. I can't stand the site though so I said as much, gave her my number and haven't heard a word since :(

Probably for the best though, I haven't got time to be dating whilst I'm on my PGCE course!
 
Absolutely.

I haven't bothered with POF, had a fair few messages from various different women, but none that have really sparked my interest. I think my problem is that I'm dead fussy.

Still on match, but I think I might just take my self of all the sites.
 
The one thing to remember though is that it can't hurt. I've met 3 lasses off Match, one was amazing, and it's to my shame that my brain conspired to ruin it all, one was very pretty but too over the top for me, and the third was lovely but just didn't fancy me.

That's 3 pretty cool people I wouldn't have met without it, and I'm not exactly a prolific user!
 
Good way to look at it Redman. Friends are friends after all, even if you don't find "the one" you'll still get to meet plenty of people which, chances are, you wouldn't have had the chance too.

I've met a couple from match, one I got closeish too, but she wasn't right for me, another is a really nice girl, but I'm just not feeling it and another just kinda died out. Still grateful for the chance to meet new people though! :)

After you'd been together for a few months eh? Yep, pretty standard tbh chap, match.com or not, some people panic a little when they realise they're now committed and it's serious.

Of course, it's usually the blokes who leg it on the 'L' word :P

lol.

see when I was on match i said average purely because I wouldn't say i'm fat, but i wouldn't say i'm skinny. Normally the average is a size 10 which is what i am.

but i did make sure i put a full body shot so that guys knew i wasn't lying :D

but you were lying, you're a skinny rake, eat a burger woman :p

Though I tend to put "Average" purely because while I'm not at all fat, I'm too unhealthy to put "Athletic" lol

shush you

and it's so annoying when people tell me to eat a burger :p

Average for men pretty much means average joe - no six pack but not exactly a big beer belly either, there doesn't seem to be any hidden meaning with them lol

then start eating burgers and be done with it :p

and as for 6 pack, what should that be classified under? cause it's easy to have one, but not actually be athletic :confused: hence my dilemma lol

I would say an athletic body doesn't always mean you have a 6 pac.

I would put down how you feel about your body. I have put average, but give it a few months! :p

to me, athletic = athlete type body/physically fit, and while I'm in no way fat, and certainly not skinny, generally well built and muslces seem to come easily, but I probably wouldn't class myself as an athlete lol
 
I Agree with begbie. I'm down as atheltic, but I don't have a six pack (unless you count the Guinness swimming around in there!). Though I do play football around 4/5 times a week some weeks (no less than 3), so I'm pretty much a fit type of guy!
 
As far as I'm concerned, to say you have an 'average' build has nothing to do with what the national/global/whatever population average size is - it's just between thin and fat. So as was said, size 10.
 
Stuck a profile up on POF the other day for me, have only contacted two girls ones emailed me a couple of times and the other hasn't read it yet apparantly. Don't know what the thread etiquette is for posting profiles and that (do i have to post mine?) but I'll see what happens.

Never done this before and am kind of nervous, as I see a whole load of fat or unattractive girls and don't want to sound shallow but I'm not into that. Just want to find a nice, normal girl. Any tips for a beginner lol. I'm 22 and was in a 4 year relationship until then end of 2008 and since then haven't found it in myself to bother looking. Now though I'm interested in finding someone again so yeah that's my story.
 
You don't have to post yourr profile up on here (mine isn't), unless you want it critiqued!

Don't worry about coming across as shallow, you're not on a dating site to please every one else, you're on there to look for the right type of girl for you. Just be polite and say "thanks, but no thanks".

Good luck :)
