    What was the last message like?

    I'd go for something witty/banterish (Is that a word?)
    There's so many people bigging themselves up in their profiles, that it can break the ice just to be realaxed, be yourself, and make inappropriate jokes (that might just be me :pac:) :)



    And I have a question! o/

    How long should you be chatting to someone before suggesting/agreeing to a meet up?

    there hasn't been any messages yet. this would be the first one. unless he looks at my profile in the meantime, and simply must email :rolleyes:

    there isn't a whole lot of humour in his profile but yeah would be worth testing the waters in that way. i'll get back to it tomorrow... brain....shutting down...

    about the meeting thing, i generally just go with what i'm comfortable with. i don't think it's a good idea to meet too early, but i've done both (met after 3 days, and met after a month) and neither worked out even remotely well, so don't listen to me! :o

    Sweet!
    That must mean I win a million dollars for asking the question.
    I hope this works out better than the time I won the Nigerian lottery :pac:


    Yeah, but it's a tough one to call.
    I suppose the "go with your gut instinct" approach is the best way :)

    Had a few bad experiences myself with online dating but I've heard lots of success stories too..
    Good luck anyway, hope it works out and if it doesn't maybe try one of the Irish sites like Gep Out.ie, FunDate (mainly speed dating) or FirstDate.ie (Dinner Dating & Wine Tasting for singles)

    Just be honest. If you had a good time and had a laugh together, say so. But say that you're not feeling that spark to take things any further.

    I don't think we're gonna work but as a parting gift, I'd like to give you a handjob around the back of Trinners.

    OR

    Just tell him that you're not feeling it. No point in lying about it. You gave it a shot and it didn't work out.

    No matter how you look at it, the message you have to convey is never going to be nice. No point in trying to wrap tinsel around it :D

    Half thinking of giving this online dating lark the old heave ho. It's a crock of sh*t that you think of a well thought out message to open with and they don't even have the courtesy to reply back.

    What's even more annoying is that you see them online too sporadically during the day too.

    Or when they do reply back it's with one word replies so the conversation just falls flat on its face.

    You do have moments of hair pulling out but I think no-one really knows what the right way to behave on those sites is.. do you reply/don't reply? What should be the opening message? Is it too much info? Do they get my joke?

    Can be hard..

    Maybe take a break TG and go back to it?

    Maybe. I go on I'd say every second day and write messages to people. Yes, some may not get my humour but I send messages which are "proper" but it's quite disheartening when you go through that effort and not one replies back.

    I understand that people may have high standards or whatever but I'm not asking them to bloody marry me. Just asking for a simple reply.
