Well decided to close my POF account as I was just getting nowhere. Other than the ones I've previously messaged, there was no one else worth messaging in my area. Time to try elsewhere again although past experiences have went as well as my time of POF did so I'm not expecting much luck.
 
Nobody wants to be someone's "way to get over an ex".

Well, been texting someone for about 3 weeks or so now, took me a while to get her number after adding her on fb. I've suggested we meet up a few times now, even asking her to choose a day, her response was something along the lines of 'Dunno :/ :('. Fun times.

Sent out about 15 mails in total now and basically got no replies. Maybe it's because I've taken the **** on my profile a little, or i'm an ugly mo fo. They need a 'Why did you not reply to this email? ' function. 'Because he has big ears' then at least you know!

Have you called her?

Nope, it was a big deal for her to give me her mobile number (and she pulled a hissy fit when she gave it me and I didn't explicitly thank her for it, drama already!) Just going to leave it, don't think we'd click anyway, plus she's from Sheffield so the accent may annoy me :P
 
I've probably asked this before but here is my dilema,

I got told Monday that she didn't think it wasnt going to work due to the distance, however we talked the next day and told her I liked her and basically said I don't want to rush you so have a think about it.

The other reason is becasue I'm shy, but I really like her so I can definitely improve.

She hasn't tries messaging/phoning me yet so I'm thinking I should phone her and ask if she's given much decision, or should I take it as a sign?

Don't think I can take not knowing much longer as its making me nervous.

Cheers

Chill the heck out will you? Stop being such a bloody doormat.
 
Stupid chavs -_-

Plus, Sinny, i feel a restraining order coming along. Just leave it imo.

Restraining order?

If she told me to not contact her I would'nt contact her, I just don't like being left in the lurch. I've not contacted her since we last spoke on the phone last week.

Id rather know if she doesn't want to carry so I can move on.

Yeah to be fair I think you're fine to give her a call and see how she's feeling. It doesn't sound too promising to be honest but you never know, maybe she likes to be chased.

If there is uncertainty then it is best to chat and figure it out.

Cheers, we do both like each other but I give her a week's space to think about it, However giving her a week has made me slightly edgy so I wanted to know if she's ok and if she wants to talk.

I don't think I've done anything wrong, I just don't want to not find out why if she doesn't want to see me and maybe still be friends.

I think you need to just back off. If she is interested as much as you are she will make the effort. Otherwise IGNORE.

You need to man up. You say you are shy so Im guessing you dont have much self confidence with these issues or much experience with the fairer sex but honestly man.. just chill out.

Give her couple of weeks to think about what you asked her last. If you've still not heard anything I would be tempted to give her a call. Don't be too pushy or anything but just tell her how you feel and ask her if she still would like to meet up again. If she is quite shy herself you may be better off texting her. Just make sure to word it really well. Some people would prefer to talk over the phone but from my experience that can make a shy person feel really awkward and they won't necessarily feel comfortable telling you how they "really" feel or give you a straight answer. If you text and you get no reply then it sounds harsh but I'd say you have your answer. If she really likes you and you've given it a bit of time she might start thinking how she wants to meet again if she is genuinely interested.

In the mean time just keep busy with stuff and meet mates etc to keep your mind off it a bit. I know it's hard because I've been there myself these last few weeks but it does get slightly easier after a few days.

The chat just got a bit better, she said she is quite shy, that's maybe why. She's opening up a bit now though (not literally), so that's good :)

It's moved to Facebook, hurrah! She said she'd like to meet as well, but annoyingly she is living up near Bolton right now, she is from around where I live though, and plans to move back soon. But still, kind of puts a barrier in the way.
 
Not sure if this is a good thing, but I've been added to someones favorites, just a bit concerned no profile picture. The last time I met someone who had no profile picture she turned out to look more butch than I did.
 
Met my Mum earlier today (don't worry, this is going somewhere!) and she told me she was having a blind date tonight from a guy from the internet.
We had some dinner, and then we got to the place they were meeting quite early (mainly so I could have a pint!). We clocked him, checked him out. I then left. She text me 5 minutes later she made her excuses and did a runner.
He was nothing like what he had said.
Men eh? :p
 
Having your mum out on dates is an interesting angle. How would you have felt if she had stayed out all night with the guy? :D
