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

Not open for further replies.
to add to the list; girls that stuck there lips out, eyes open as wide, and the phone held as high as possible, pushing their chest together. yuck is all i can say!

when starting the first message what do people usually say? i've tried a variety of things like simple and to the point saying i like their profile want to get to know each other, or a bit more detailed asking a few questions like their name, if they ever been to my town, couple little jokes etc, but neither seem to get a good response.

last night i got a message saying xxx wants to meet me, so i logged in saw she was online so started chatting and starting asking about how come she in on a saturday etc, then about where she lives, what she wants to do and music taste etc as her profile was basic, but it was all one sided and taking ages for replies.

wasn't sure if it was light hearted enough as it was just me asking all the questions and getting useless responses. this is often the case though, i don't want to seem too robotty (which is hard not to when they don't give you much to go off) but also would like to get the know the person without coming across as a slob.

eventually she just disappeared went offline without saying anything :confused:

how are others approaching this?

the worst of it is god put the most amazing stunning girl i've seen in a long time in my life recently for just a few hours and i bottled it and didn't ask her out, and i really regret it now as that was a chance to meet someone really really beautiful and forget this stupid pof stuff.

I would keep the first message very simple such as

"Hi,
Your profile caught my eye and you seem like a lovely (or however they seem) person and someone I could get along with (or however you want to word it) so thought I would send a quick message to say hello.
Would be great to hear back from you but if not good luck on pof :)"

Or something like that!

I feel so bad when a guy sends me a really long first message and he's not my "type" etc and I then have to say "sorry but..."
 
I really need to start deleting some of these, it's starting to get confusing! :o

Showing off are we :p

I've only one name that I've put pof next to purely because he has the same name as one of my nephews, although I was scrolling through contacts yesterday thinking "who's that?" Then remembering so maybe its not such a bad idea :p

Never heard of Badoo until now...

I'm all over it like a rash now but how do you contact people on there other than the chat and meet me buttons?

I've found this utter hottie in Evesham :D

I've got a date sometime this week and I've been roped into doing some rock climbing, can't wait! :D

Though I always used to avoid Manchester as I thought it was too far, we shall see.. she seems really nice and likes to do new things rather than being a couch potato which I am (I need a kick up the bum).

Was quite funny actually, I was about to close my account as It's making me depressed as I'm currently job hunting at the minute but she messaged me and doesn't mind so it's all win win really.
 
Oh what have a done..

Gone and clicked on the "meet me" button to 100 people. :D

Oops.
I'm so screwed if even half of them reply with a yes!
oh and I'm now "Superhuman" * on Badoo. :o








*Cost me £8
 
this is on Badoo, not POF, Although I will agree, a lot of the profiles were of dubious origins.
Way too many Polish looking women for them to be real profiles in my mind, but maybe it's just popular in that area.

OK guys I would like some opinions on my situation as it's a little crazy.

A girl who lives in LA emailed me just over a month ago and although she lives in America her email was really good so I decided to reply. Since then we've emailed each other every day without fail and talked about everything. The emails take us an hour each to write to give you an idea of how much we talk about. We've talked on the phone which has lead to a few early morning conversations as they usually last 3+ hours each. She's currently in London until December at which point she will return to LA.

Now this is the crazy part. Although we've not met she's asked me if I would be open to go over to LA with her in January to stay for X amount of time. At this point take it that we get on well when we meet and spend A LOT of time together. I'm not about to quit my job and move over there for 6 months if I'm not sure about her. She also says the same about me and has just raised the subject as she didn't want to get involved with someone who wasn't open to the idea, which I can understand.

So, would you go? For me it's something I couldn't ever have imagined happening but currently everything feels right and very natural, well besides moving to LA for up to 6 months, that's a little scary. Opinions guys and girls?
 
So isn't the obvious step to meet her whilst shes in the UK?

Perhaps take some holiday leave whilst shes here to get to know her before committing to anything else?

If it all feels right then go for it.
