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

well I have given up on this internet dating thing and closed my accounts. this is for 3 reasons.
1 - I wasn't getting any replies or messages
2 - I don't feel I am in a financial position to actually have a gf and treat her like she deserves
3 - I don't think im actually over my ex wife yet, so don't think I would be 100% committed to a new relationship

so, give it a few months or whatever and will try again, maybe a better class of women will be available too.

How are you getting some many dates... i have had none through POF.
Do you usually send the first message?

Usually I do yes. I don't know really. Perhaps I'm just being lucky. Got one tonight and another Sat night. Next week Wednesday and Thursday nights. All first dates too.

It's getting REALLY expensive now!

Also have the Welsh girl stalking me now with shirty text messages due to me dumping her :(
 
Wijcc, just noticed you're in London! No excuses now my man. You should be swimming in girls. Try jumping on Match. Chalk the £30 up as experience and see if it works out better for you.

For a laugh, my area is NW2. Do a search on NW2 with a 10mile radius on POF and stare in marvel at the amount of chavs and idiots coming up. I would've been dateless too if I was solely using POF.

Match is where it's at. I'll keep saying that until folks are sick of me saying that :D
 
im sure women have some telepathy skills, they all seem to come out the woodwork once you have found a nice one, ex's, people who stopped contacting you for no reason, all re-appear once you arent looking for anything from them anymore :D

i have to agree with regulus, im guessing hes a bit older like me, but pof is just full of absolute scruffs, or potential dates that wont end up looking like they do in the profile, its a virtual minefield.

Ive had a much better class of women from match and match affinity (although the simplicity of match in all honesty is better)

anyway ive definitely had a good upgrade on my last, a little bit taller, slimmer, better looking, genuinely funny, and absolutely filthy to boot :)
 
Just got back from my date. She was really pretty, feminine, witty and just generally a good person. Just one problem, bitch doesn't stop talking. I know her whole history, her brother having cancer, her grandad having problems selling his Mazda, her mom's hair dye fail, her sister changing careers, all the useless stuff really. Not once did she ask about me or even feign interest when I got a chance to mention some of my hobbies or tell about my job. She was just looking for a gap to continue her ramblings.

Luckily she grabbed the bill so it wasn't a total fail tonight. She did look kinda hot when we walked out of the restaurant and slowly towards the train station, but a man with options isn't wasting time on her. :p

Got a text from her when I got in saying that she felt a good chemistry with me and would like to see me again. I see that happening :rolleyes:
 
sign up but dont pay, and youll set get some "special offers" match is also 15 a month purely on ios if you are a cheapskate like me :D just watch out for recurring payments, i tend to cancel straight away and do it for a month at a time.
 
So... Two questions...

Firstly; For the first few dates how many of you actually pay for the dates drinks (or food) for the first few dates? I've only had food with three people and they have all insisted on paying their share (quite vocally too)*. All the girls I've been out with have also been pretty insistent on buying at least one drink as well, most fully halves. I'm intrigued to know because there seem to be a few on here that appear to always buy drinks.

*It's occasionally been fairly obvious that they are worried about the bill bit still insist, always feel I should too.

Secondly; Looks... How important..? If they weren't stunning to you but made you laugh/enjoy their company would you still carry on with it? By not stunning I don't mean fat or massively ugly, just not necessarily attractive to you...
 
Always equal payment, always. I enforce rounds - you can be a bit cheeky and have some banter about this - so it always stays pretty even.
 
I signed up for this as a joke last night but I've already been chatted up by some 26 year old fashion-designer (I'm 22!) who is absolutely stunning. I've always been so suspicious of internet dating and have never really felt the need to do it... but this is almost too easy.

It varies. I'd say I pay slightly more (60-40) during my dates but I really don't mind. Thankfully money is not a massive issue for me so we never talk about it. I just moan about it here :p

Looks. Hard to say. There's a difference between real beauty or just average but incredibly well groomed. The Welsh bird I just got rid of wasn't pretty when she woke up next to me, but once she slapped make up on, we were in business.

But generally looks are important to me. I have to be somewhat physically attracted to her.
