He said he was down about work and felt lost. The week it happened he was manic with work and my dad took a turn but he wasn't willing to see if it was just outside factors or not. Oh well, can't be dealing with people like that.

Yep, move on and keep your chin up. :) The fella sounds like he has other issues to sort out really. I always say you can't be happy in a relationship until you're happy in yourself otherwise it ends up lopsided.

Hence with the amount of madness I've had in the past good few years (a few of which were spent caring for my grandad up until the end whilst trying to hold down my job), I've not really bothered.

Thankfully things seem to be pulling themselves together so in a few months I'll probably go on russianbrides.com and sort myself out. :p

j/k

I would just leave it and see if you hear back this evening. She might not want to come across too keen and make you stew a bit. I don't tend to do that but I know some people do.
Did you send the message by this whatsapp thing or by text?

Yeah I know there's possibly an element of 'playing the game' here and making me stew, just odd that we were talking quite freely back and forth (Whatsapp is a bit like MSN chat for smartphones) for a few hours then she goes off radar as soon as I mention dinner!

Shame if it goes boobs-up as she was really cool, and hot too!
 
what kinds of messages are you guys sending to women on POF.. short or long ones? (which have proved more successful in getting responses).
I am finding that a lot of women of POF have quite short profiles.. not giving much info

Thanks :)

We met through OKCupid. She was at Uni in LA and emailed me thinking I'd tell her to get lost due to the distance. A month of emailing and she come over to visit and decided to take some time off from uni to stay here with me. The funny thing is she signed up for a dare and ony emailed a handful of people not expecting anything and I only signed up just so I could use the search functions.

We plan to go back to LA in April so she can finish her degree.

I've gave up on Web dating for a number of reasons.

1. Most women around my age are either heavy drinkers or heavy weights, I like Curvy women Not massive unfit smelly sweaty blobs of Fat.

2. Very few women seem to bring up Nice kids & I am not being around Kids I want to kick the **** out of.

3. Women like everybody else project the image of who they Think they are when online, When you meet them you soon find out they are Nothing like what they portrayed.

4. I hate the crap you get when you tell them you are not interested in them "That" way.

S'pose I am just bar humbug to relationships & feel that if I am going to meet somebody then I want to meet the Real them not some concocted BS Internet image.
Lastly I have to say it has been fun over the years but these days I just can't be ****** with all the emotions/crying & carry on & I've not been with a single woman who doesn't bring a drama Llama to the party.

I concluded recently when chatting with one of my Girly mates that I won't find who I am looking for as they are in a different class to me :p
I want a Lady, A decent feminine woman with all the charms that comes with it, Unfortunately being as Ruff as a Badgers **** they wouldn't even **** on me if I was on Fire. :D

Move down the south east. Might help!
 
a question to all the ladies here that have done internet dating... what do you look for in the first message you get off a guy on a dating site?
Also is it true (do you think) that there is a difference in the mentality of people who are on a free dating website as opposed to a paid one??

Always best to attach pictures of your erect penis to the first message, no point going on all those dates only for them to be disappointed on "the night". :cool:
 
Lol ^^. That way they appreciate your honesty and know you are a genuine kind of guy.

I am thinking of packing this POF thing in. I just think I can make a better impression in real life given the chance. Going on a couple of dates has been good for my confidence and getting no response on there is quite good for developing a thicker skin.

My friend and lodger had an Australian friend over last week. I don't remember feeling so strongly attracted to anyone before. It was a really strong pull, rather than just thinking "oh yeah she is really sweet". Shame she was only here for a month holiday :/

Orange Peel sounds like you have found the real thing. I guess you just know. Hope it all goes great for you.
 
Well that's my hapiness over with, entered into a relationship with someone (first girl I've only ever truly loved to pieces) and yesterday she text me saying she wants to be single.

but she says she still wants to be friends (she even said she knows what it means but wants to still talk to me often) but I don't think I can cope with that, I told her I'll always be here for her but I think I've just fallen into the trap of being gullible as I really don't want to let her go, I even told her that I don't want to let her go and many other things which I don't really regret at the minute but probably will do soon.

I've no clue what to do, I have no friends who live near me who I can go and see, I lost my job christmas eve and just generally feel the worst I've ever felt.

I really needed someone to help me though this point in my life but obviously these things happen and it's left me feeling a right idiot.

Yup, class A Idiot.

that was my last attempt at Online dating, not saying it can't work, but I don't want to even consider the idea for myself again.
 
does meeting your boyfriend/girlfriend online count? not always a weird situation :p we met on wow an still together after six months. not bad :D

Dont put yourself in the friend zone mate.There may be someone else and she might want to test the water and have her pick.You can NEVER let her do that or she will walk all over you and lose respect.Then your screwed!

You done right in telling her that u love her but dont tell her you will be there for her.Be honest and tell her what u said here and say if u want me im here now and may be for a few weeks but make sure even if its a lie that when she is single she will think she is gone for good.Go NC on her too until she makes up her mind.It's a bit of a crap time to dump you as well.I would tell her that after losing your job this has messed you up and she needs to be honest with you as u cannot deal with on-off realtionship drama.

I would just ask her is it family trouble, interest level in you or another man thats bugging her.You may get ur answer and be able to stop wasting time and emotions.It will be better for you if you need to move on from her and u gain self respect back that you thought u lost by saying some things u maybe should have not said aloud.

And its never over unless u are 55 or something.Those 25 year old girls will always be 25!!! :cool:

well, I've been on there like 6 months, it's got me nothing except 84 women who want to meet me - but they all happen to be disgusting fat women.

Some girls with misleading photo's so I stopped talking to them when I realised they were fat.

I am talking to one at the minute but just realised she has a 1 year old - pffffft I don't think I can handle that!

Also, lots of gay guys are messaging me asking if I want to engage in intimate encounters... yer I should probably disable them from contacting me but I find this hilarious...

Most of the hot ones won't reply to me, but I'm a fairly good looking guy with a lot going for me, good career etc......

So yea... not really proving successful for me.

not sure about the free vs paid dating site but i only really responded to guys who made an interesting observation/told a joke or in some way tried something that was other than 'hey you look hot etc'

lol girls on dating get so much rubbish you sort of have to make yourself stand out.
