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

I met my fiancee via the web. Well, via WoW to be precise.
She's Finnish and she made the move to the UK to live with me last year. She had a 3 year old who is now my adoptive daughter. We're working on baby number 2 at the moment and will be getting married early next year.

True love can be found on the web.
I saw this and thought maybe online dating can work..
Then I saw this
Well, my relationship with "the Finn" failed at christmas.
Back on the market again so I've signed up with Match and I'll give this POF a go.
What happened?
 
Wow, that's a horrible thing to happen to anybody. I can't stand cheaters. Scum of the earth. Internet, I've no idea. Best advice from me. If you're not a socialite, keep your eyes open when you do your grocery shop. Everyone's got to do it, including single females. If you get any vibes, just say, "Hi".

It happens, just one of those things to be honest, there's not much I could have done about it after I found out, although if you'd have asked me that a few years ago I'd have most likely given a response involving a blunt rusty spoon and eye sockets :p

I'm fine in social situations, just useless these days at speaking to girls as anything other then friends, hence feeling that internet dating or something similar is the best route as you both know what you're on the site for and such there's no misguided perceptions, well in theory!
 
What happened?

To be honest. I have no idea what happened.
She just did the "We need to talk" thing which went on to "Let's try and fix it" and then "Actually, I don't want to fix it" followed by "I'm leaving you" and "I'm going back to Finland".

I'm quite impressed by PoF though. I signed up last week and got chatting to someone really nice towards the end of the week. I took her out for dinner on Saturday night (quiet country pub, good food, good wine, romantic atmosphere) and now we're "officially" dating. We ended the evening with a lovely kiss.

She's really sweet and I'm over the moon.

damn so POF and okcupid does seem to work..
I can't worked out why i get no messages and no women reply to my messages.
 
Miffed that PoF have started charging for the Viewed Me function! I wouldn't have minded if they introduced a new feature and started charging for that, but to charge for something that's been free for sod knows how long, smacks of money grabbing of the highest level.

You can still see who viewed your profile on the mobile app.
 
Deleted all my accounts, dates were costing too much money and met a fair few bad matches as they were totally different to their profiles. Just 'split up' with the final one as after 3 dates she was so needy it was beyond belief. Single life for me :)

No need to spend much money on dates at all really.

True but the whole process is a lot easier and less taxing on the mind if you have a few drinks or go out for a full night out. Especially living in the middle of Manchester most things are going to to cost money, usually end up drinking.

/edit... I also seemed to meet a few that thought it was acceptable to expect me to pay for everything.
 
I am happy to pay for everything, but then I'm fairly well off and I'm quite old fashioned.

Unfortunately I'm not. I don't mind being the gentleman and paying for most 'events' it's when its absolutely everything they expect to paid for. Equal rights! I haven't got that kind of cash.

Good man! No woman should be able to use online dating to feed themselves every night for free...
