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

Like a few others, I'm one of those who gets on with girls better than guys but soon as it gets serious.. Freeeeze

For me it was hard to find someone who didn't want kids

In the end I met someone off a forum (formula 1).. So technically Internet dating

this is ridiculous, im not being funny but im only 55kgs and my picture reflects this, profile also says 'thin'

SO WHY DO I ONLY GET MESSAGES FROM 20ST WOMEN!!!!

I've had messages from obese people in wheel chairs lately, I have nothing against disabilities but come on

Can't I just have an average girl of average weight at least say hi?

Yes I do send messages out, just not lately

to be honest a wheelchair wouldn't bother nearly as much as a hippo who describes herself as 'a few extra pounds', in fact I'd say that a wheelchair wouldnt really bother me at all as long as the personalities good!

Ok.... so err I've this "American" girl looking for me on OkCupid who's going to be on holiday in Ireland with her husband, and is looking for some cuckold fun!!
No pic yet but apparently "27 years old, blonde, athletic, 5'5"". Is this most likely to be some psychopath 55 year old fat bald man??!!

I dont get this, why all the playing hard to get etc? So what if she wasnt interested you dont have to have a relationship with it, just root it and on to the next one!

Then tell her, sounds like you want the attention?!

elh_2009 · 1 May 2013 at 20:27

So POF, if someone you've sent a message to has viewed your profile but not replied then they obviously like your pic but not the profile? lol

Well things seem to move fast on POF, signed up on Tuesday and I've already got a date arranged. With another potential date lined up with another girl (who I seem to prefer) on the cards.

Any tips for a total newbie so I don't mess it up?

Accept the possibility of total failure, then things will be easier!
Be yourself, it's as easy as that.
Billions of people in the world, you're going to interact with just one of them..

pingwing · 1 May 2013 at 23:54

Yep be your self, wear clean clothes and be prepared for a world of amusement.

First thought would be to change your profile picture to the 3rd one as I've always been told group shots for your main picture are a no no? (or am I wrong?).

The main about yourself seems fine, (although maybe miss out the computer/geek bit) and lastly maybe re think the first date?

haha,thanks guys I'll see how it goes as I didnt expect any dates for at least a couple of weeks. Another thing, if I've offered to pay for the first date and she wants to go 50/50 should I leave it at that knowing I don't have a gold digger?
