Well I've decided to try and seriously get in to dating, online or offline, so I gave my profile a bit of a shake up tonight. Decided to also take down one of my pictures, even though I look really good in it, and put up one or two pictures of me looking my normal self, no make up or anything. It's either a brave move or a stupid decision...I'll find out if I don't get any messages in the next few days.
Getting a bit tired of OKC, there's not that many new users in the Cork area, POF seems to have more Corkonians on it than the other sites {is that a sign that we're all cheap down south?
} I'm staying focused for now on guys from Cork, done the whole Cork-Dublin relationship for 18 months, and don't fancy trying to arrange dates with someone who's more than 45 minutes away, let alone try to have a relationship, although in a couple more months, if I don't have any luck, I might have to reevaluate that!
Fair play to you! I dont think I could be that brave!
Im on POF and there seems to be alot of good looking Cork lads on it!0 -

And have decided to cheer myself up by accepting a date from a guy 5 years younger than me (I usually never date younger guys), with whom I suspect I've nothing in common... but he has loads of photos up and he's a little ride in each and every one of them! Being un-shallow isn't getting me anywhere, so might as well change my tactics.

I have gone into a blind panic ever since. I am petrified of meeting up with him, it really is ridiculous!! Where should I suggest to meet? For a coffee? For a drink? What if it is horrifically awkward! help...am freaking out!! (P.S. He does SEEM very nice so far!)
Go with whatever you're comfortable with. Some people like to go for coffee as its easier to keep the date short but I prefer drinks.
There's no point worrying about it being awkward, it'll just get you more into a tizzy. Just remember, he'll probably be as nervous as you!

I know it's of small comfort but that kind of stuff is more common than you'd think (happens to me all the time! :pac:)A girl I was chatting to just there was being nice, and said "wanna swap pics" and I said I'll send mine first seeing as she was being so nice, I did, and I didn't get a reply, so I looked at my sent items and she isn't showing up which means she's blocked me. That really sickens me, why be a tool?
Well harsh. On the plus side you're better off in the long run without someone like that!0 -

I'd send a text and ask "what's up? Haven't heard from you? had a nice time the other day but if you don't want to meet up again that's fine. I'd just rather not be left hanging."
There could be a missed text in there somewhere, or life has got in the way or maybe he is just an ass and couldn't be bothered saying he wasn't feeling it etc.A girl I was chatting to just there was being nice, and said "wanna swap pics" and I said I'll send mine first seeing as she was being so nice, I did, and I didn't get a reply, so I looked at my sent items and she isn't showing up which means she's blocked me.

To be honest, I did this once or twice when I first tried out online dating.
Terrible, I know. Put it down to she wasn't attracted to you but didn't want to face having to tell you that. It's totally crap. I certainly wised up to that and was up front with guys when I rejoined. Just remember that not everyone you meet is going to be attracted to you. 0 -
