anyone notice how there seems to be a lot of talk about an american girl who recently messaged them in this thread? perhaps the same girl/fat guy who is going to rape you?

The one who's been messaging me is actually Italian :p

I think the comprehensive facebook profile, webcam chat and phone calls are enough to prove she's not a he lol.

Either that or it's some amazingly convincing plot to take advantage of my back passage!!

Either way. I'm in :D

I had two dates lined up for last weekend then on Friday both said they couldn't make it which left me feeling a bit gutted. I've managed to salvage one of them and we might be meeting up on Saturday for drink but in the two weeks I've been a Match member its been slim pickings although I might be able to get one more date next week if this doesn't work out.
 
Well my date last night seemed to go well. Met for a drink about 8.30pm and stayed until the pub was closing and we were the last two left.
Conversation seemed to flow easily, he seems nice and is cute.

Only "downside" was that I didn't get that "giddy/excited" feeling that I've had with a few others in the past. But... as we were leaving he asked for a second date and I said yes as I feel it's too soon to really judge things.
Plus according to the movie He's Just Not That Into You the "spark" doesn't exist :p

I briefly spoke to my boss about it today and he said I could perhaps have been sub consciously guarding myself because of recent things happening so am just going to see how things go :)

The only thing I find a bit "odd" is that I don't really hear from him that much. It's generally a couple of days if not longer before I'll hear from him (and yes I do sometimes initiate contact first) and when we are texting sometimes the conversation suddenly stops i.e. he'll text, i'll respond then nothing :confused:
Yet all the others in the past have been in contact quite often

Congrats on that then. I haven't had that "giddy" feeling in years either, I wouldn't worry about it, just go with the flow, keep seeing him and see where it goes.
 
yeah gets annoying as i'm starting to recognise the fake profiles and tehre is plenty of them. how people finding badoo? i'ts much nicer then pof but i dislike the way it limits you so much, e.g. i got a message saying someone wants to meet me click to find out who, then when you get to the page it says pay us to find out who, or use the random encounter and see if you also randomly find her :S

the profiles are also all almost completely blank. there does seem to be so many more people in my town on this, makes me wonder if it's true.

iirc it's £20 for 3 months so not too bad and perhaps worth a try.

Seems a bit iffy to me.

I've only just joined. Suddenly got a message off a stunning blonde despite it saying in her profile that she was last online 16 hours ago! Says I can't read the message until I add more photos of myself. Mmmm. :(
 
Badoo is good, better for me than POF. But a lot more younger women on it, seems a lot of underages (16-17) signing up for it.

lol one girl i just seen. her pofile has great photos of a real cute looking girl and reads..

"hey im not 18 so if you don't like that don't talk to me :-) main reason im on here...? i want yo lose my virginity so say hey"

sure it's a ploy to get your money.

what's even worse is when you use the meet me feature you can't read the persons profile without paying. i mean i can understand restricting contact methods maybe, but to even find out if anyone is decent is silly, and who it even is that wants to contact you. i feel like i could pay up and find it's a guy what a waste that'll be.
 
This whole dating game is very odd. Nothing, zip, nada, for weeks! I now have a date tomorrow, friday, and next Tuesday! Absolutely mental. One is from POF so it'll be interesting to see how that compares to the ones with people I've met on nights out.
 
faceparty used to be good some years ago. Not sure if people still use that.

Has a look at Badoo, strange site, not easy to interact with people and they try and get money off of you for everything.

I prefer the shotgun approach on POF, send same message to lots of people, quicker and easier. Only problem I had was, one person messaged me back saying 'you send me same message 3 weeks ago'.....whoops.
 
I gave up this online dating ages ago. It seems like one big battle to me. I have been on so many different sites, and paid money on most of them (wish I had'nt).
The last one I paid for (match) was a complete waste of time and money. I sent so many emails to girls in my area but never got any replies. I then found out that the reason you don't get many replies, is that profiles I sent messages to, could not read the messages. It was only a matter of time before I ran out of people to message in my area. I got a couple of messages from girls that lived 200 miles away though :rolleyes:

Tried POF and that was utter rubbish for me. Massive amounts of slags and stuck up girls in my area. I keep thinking about getting back on there and seeing if I can get anywhere. I just can't be bothered anymore.
I looked up about that Badoo, and heard some bad things about it. Don't think i'll try it.
The last girl who contacted me, lived in Essex and was quite a looker. She had the smile/face of Billie Piper who in my opinion is Bang tidy. She was nice to talk to and had a really good sense of humor. So we had spoken quite a few times on the phone and even arranged a meet. She seemed to be looking forward to it and so was I. A week or so before the date she just ignores my texts and never gets in contact again. And this is why I have had enough as it just gets tiring after a while. I just can't work out what I did wrong.
It's not as if I pestered her or anything like that, and she seemed quite into me.

Anyway, I give up looking, and have decided to just get on with life and try to enjoy rather than mope about because I can't find anyone. If something turns up then it's a bonus.
 
Ive been on PoF for a while, when i first signed up i got a few messages and so on, Wasnt really looking so didnt send any out then suddenly...nothing.

Im very middle of the road, Im often described as "cute" and "such a nice guy" yet it just seems women my age (24) still want a bit of bad boy, although I have noticed in the last year or so that friends who I thought Id never have a chance with seem to be paying me more attention, I guess as they grow out of that phase.

I have a 3 pictures on PoF all of me looking ok, one in vegas, one on a night out and the standard black and white photo, Profile is well written with my interests etc...but no replies, I find it very annoying and can in fact dent the confidence I build up in the real world because people ive never met are not messaging me.....Am I odd? :P

No, you just need to realise that most women don't need to message guys. They can pick and choose from their inbox.
