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

[mrk]

Maybe she's just not logged into it recently?

I'm meeting a nurse/carer at the weekend, says she does belly dancing and asked if I'm competitive at pool. We'll see

There seems to be a lot who are makeup artists, perfect for networking with.

found a girl on pof that i really liked the look of!
she had really nice blond hair, she was really pretty, was 21, and got the impression from her profile that she was a nice girl (i know you cant tell much from there)
seemed like my kind of girl! sent her a message......

ANDDDDD she hasnt even viewed my profile!

so either she doesnt use POF anymore, or my main picture is that my profile isnt even worth a viewing!!<- more likley this one!

loosing faith in dating full stop at the moment!

Wooooaaahhhhh noob!

This is par for the course. Other reasons might include that your message didn't stand out, she gets hundreds, she hasn't read it, she hasn't been online, she has the viewed me feature switched off etc etc. If you're losing faith after this one incident you better book yourself in at the shrink now.

Harsh but fair.

nah its not just this one girl.

They do exist, they genuinely do.

Maybe sane girls do. Sane girls that like me? Please introduce!

I had an experience once where I met a girl online who had been scorned from her previous relationship.

Thats unfortunate. I like you have never cheated nor am I normally jealous. My last girlfriend told me she cheated when she was drunk then tried to take it back as not true after I started raging and told her to "get to ****". It doesn't matter anymore but at the time that was a well confusing experience. At least the more I think about her the more I realise I'm well rid. ;P

found a girl on pof that i really liked the look of!

I found a brunette on match that looked lovely. Her profile said she was from Glasgow and she sent me a wink. The text said she lived in Jersey for the last two years, so I sent her a message asking if/when she came back to Glasgow. She still lives in Jersey... Not only that but she's evidently paid for that service.

Go on, post it.

Go on, post it.

I posted mine a few pages back so people could look at and criticise, but I never got any response.

Would be good to check out other people's profiles to see what works and what doesn't

LOL, 5-6 messages a week.

Your going to have to be a bit more aggressive then that if you want to secure a date. Try 6 a day minimum.

I am sorry to say, but I think you need to lower your standards and not chase the Disney Princess dream

 

[Neodite]

Well I am no longer on PoF after finding a partner a few months ago

But a quick tip, I was never getting any messages first. Then I noticed the "My City" page shows people based on the last activity, so women that are constantly on it will pretty much always be on page 1.

So I downloaded an auto-refresher addon for chrome and set it to refresh the page ever 5 seconds, I then started getting 2-5 messages a day

I assume due to being so many men on the site it is easy for us to get "lost" in all the pages, so this gives you more chance of being seen so more chance of a message

I would imagine this has already been said somewhere in the 205 pages But too lazy to check.

Topless profile pic.... I'd get rid of that tbh (not a criticism of your body, but sends out a bad message imo)

I'd say you should get people to take photos of you out and about etc. You'll eventually get an acceptable one. Or if you have to do a self-shot (edit: no, not of your wang... )

First two pictures do more harm than good. I think you're too young for this thing to really work anyway, but yeah, good luck.
