    If #3 does go ahead I'll stop reporting after that as it's not really online dating anymore...

    I was wondering when people considered it time to stop posting about relationships that start via dating sites! :p

    Had #3 meet-up at the weekend (wouldn't class the first meeting as a date), with #4 lined-up for this weekend.

    I've closed my account. I realised I was on it just to try and get over someone, and that's not really fair because I'm nowhere near that point.

    Yep, I feel awful. I hadn't actually gone out with anyone, but had talked about it. I was just fooling myself.

    I went on sites a month or so after a relatively big break up and I have to say it helped me. I was putting myself back out there and getting back into the whole scene that I had been absent from .

    Went on a few dates, few kisses but nothing came of them. Made some friends from the people I met.

    It's not for everyone as people may get lead on etc but that wasn't the case for me.

    @otis, I've been the rebound one too! Gah!

    two unread/deleteds today. yup, think this endeavour is bringing all sorts of negative feelings to the surface.

    I deleted my online dating profiles recently for that very reason. I just felt it was making me feel even crappier about myself.

    Lads, which sites are you on? What age group are you?

    I send plenty of messages that go unanswered but it's mainly my fault for chancing my arm with women who wouldn't be my type to begin with.
    Also, if someone hasn't the guts to respond or even look at your profile then you're hardly missing out on "the one" in fairness.

    I've been out with 4 different women so far since joining this online dating malarkey two months ago, all nice girls, three fancied me but I didn't fancy them back and the last we had absolutely nothing in common. Maybe I'm the problem...

    I was about to pack it in but I seem to have struck gold at the moment and I will say nothing more until after the first date oh yes indeedy do!:D

    Don't give up giving up? or don't give up the sites?

    Cos if i give up giving up then i'm gonna have to start smoking again, and with the horrible gunk that's coming out of my lungs at the moment that's not all that appealing!! :)

    God- a guy I dated a few weeks ago is doing my head in with texting! It put me off him so much that I contacted him and said I didn't see it becoming anything other than maybe friends (which I did mean btw, he seemed sound otherwise) but the texting has continued perhaps even more heavily! I'm working nights this week and v busy but have just woken up to what I realise was the 3rd text in a row from him that I haven't replied to. At this rate he's annoying me so much I don't want to see him this weekend, even as friends.

    I'm sure I'm going to look like a psycho who's led him on if I cancel our drink this weekend, what with having a nice date, then a week later saying I wasn't into him that way but would like to hang out again if he did, then cancelling that...but honestly!

    I'm busy! I don't keep in touch with people I'm actually friends with that much, never mind someone I've met once! And nothing bugs me more than someone texting again if they haven't had a reply for a couple of hours unless it's actually urgent...you can't harrass someone into having a chat with you. Grr...

    Tell him to chill. Pretty much copy your post into a text and send it. Us blokes are DUMB! It's entirely possible that this lad thinks he can win your heart with being chatty and attentive, and you need to tell him to stop, and chill the feck out.

    These were your mistakes, he's not texting you because he wants to be your friend I can be damn sure of that.

    You should have been clear with him from the jump.

    Still though, he should cop himself on by now.

    I couldn't have been clearer actually! I definitively said that I did not see it going anywhere, would quite like to maybe be friends as we'd got on well but that it was his call and it would definitely be nothing more than that. I got a variety of people to proof read to make sure there were no ambiguities too- and my friends are hard-line on dumping people!

    He texted back saying that he understood, had had a good time too and that we should hang out if in each others area. Still though, I suppose you hear what you want to sometimes! And yes, he should have copped on by now. I don't know if it's even worth explaining why it's annoying (how patronising would that be? I've met him once and it's my problem more than his- I've friends who'd love that much attention) or if I should just pull the plug on hanging out as friends.

    Just stop replying, if he's not a total goon he should get the picture......eventually.
    Gatecrash had a point with this: "It's entirely possible that this lad thinks he can win your heart with being chatty and attentive".

    If he persists, well....you'll just have to get tough with him. Some people don't know when to quit until they're told quite clearly to F off. I'll leave that up to you how you should go about that.

    Does he know where you live? Should be all the easier if he doesn't.
