    Yeah people may not like it and it's easy to ignore somebody online but more often than not thus far, I've got a replay and we've gotten a good bit of banter going.

    Well if it's true to your actual character and it is working for you I see no reason why you should change your approach.
    No single approach will work on all women, so you're best off using the one that best represents reality.

    Got a message from a decent looking girl that I'm pretty sure she must use as a copy and paste! describes all her work etc without asking about me and also doesn't say my name at the start!

    Should I wb and be nice or be cheeky and call her on it :cool:

    Say this:

    "The site is going ok, although the javascript could really use a touching up or two. What kind of amateurs do they have working here?"

    Have been on 2 dates from POF and both didn't go too good. Neither bloke looked like they did on their profile pics :( plus one of them sounded like his balls hadn't dropped yet.......nuff said!!

    Now I understand why people ask for more pics if there is only one on display!! I would say I will ask for more pics in future but I have given up already on the online dating, I lasted a grand total of 7 weeks on it!!

    Best of luck to those brave enough to continue fishing ;)

    I honestly think there is a 'window', and it seems to be around the 2 month mark, before people get disillusioned. At that stage, you have probably contacted people who you would be attracted to, and in the cases where there has been a response, either arranged dates or it has died a natural death.

    After that you are seeing the same people online all the time, and it just gets uninteresting. At that point it's best off to leave for a while, then come back in a few months, see if there have been any new fish introduced to the pond!! :)

    Totally agree, I definitely got disillusioned especially when I met the guys and they were not what I was expecting!! Oh well......

    Also I think the reason I cancelled my account was because one of the fellas I went on a date with wanted to see me again and I didn't feel the same so instead of the awkwardness of being online at the same time etc etc I bailed!!

    Has anyone a recent success story? I see some of the girlies are on their 3rd or 4th date which is so exciting :) might try OKC in a few weeks!!

    I think it's just the women who are doing well! :(

    I had a few dates with the same girl few weeks ago, where I would have liked to see her again, but she reckoned things wouldn't work out, and i gotta admit, for the first few times seeing her online after that there was an element of :(, but then i remembered that i'm 35 and to stop acting like a child!! :)
