Online Dating

Go on maybefriends and get some new ones. Absolutely ridiculous that they'd put someone down just for trying to branch out!

For the first time AVER I logged into OKC and had not one but TWO mails waiting for me.
I was sooo delighted with myself I got peanut butter, bananas and mayo and put the lot into pitta bread (that's a lie...I ate that long before I logged in)
Jaysus though, victory dancing really takes it out of ya!:D

Edit:
Sweeet jaysus, one other girl is just after rating me!
(Think I'd better browse through my profile, make sure someone hasn't edited it to say I'm loaded or something!!)

nice one always good to read that :cool:

I just got a long message which looks like a copy and paste job. He doesn't refer to anything specific in my profile so he probably hasn't read it, or couldn't be bothered commenting on something specific in it.

I don't mind a bit of copy and paste, as it could be tedious trying to come up with something totally new each time, but something a bit specific to me would be good. Anyway it doesn't matter in this case as he sounds like a bit of a pain and full of himself. He seemed okish from the profile but the message has totally turned me off.

On the plus side I got a flirt from someone else who looks nice (though that will probably be the last I ever hear from him )

Date 3 with okc guy went great early on in the week but date 4 left little to be desired! Got the impression he's gone off me (which is fine, it happens) but that he was purposefully acting like a d*ck instead of just saying outright that he was no longer interested. even a simple text to tell me would do it!

So I'm not putting all my eggs in basket & have been emailing a cute & seemingly nice guy all evening after having feck all contact from anyone on the site in the past few weeks.

Perseverance is the key methinks (although I may change my tune in a few weeks if all goes quiet again!)

Oh god this thick skin building phase is a crock of **** tbh.

How do you guys open up a conversation?

Been chatting to only 1 girl who i rather like, but everyone else is lame tbh, the silence is worse, i'd prefer them to say gtfo and then blocking me, at least i get a message

I try to keep my mesgaes short cheeky and to the point i try not to disscuss there interests...
or overload them with too much information but also making sure that its easy to reply to and open enough that they don't have top spend an hour replying to a message

And how's that working out for ya?

They dont tend to reply :pac:

No Im playing...

generally works out for me. I think women and genrally people apricate the none robot attempts... I mean you've read girls saying they get copy and paste's then theres guys who point out there into all the same things but i think that samey same thing can be almost a turn off for the lady.. Think they prefer something out of the box.. but like there is a level, of unapropriate and apropriate...

She didn't give him a ten or we'd know about it by now.

i pretty much gave up with online dating back in march when the guy on the date was so rude.

i closed my account etc. recently i just log on to look at the emails i get.
they are just full of naked photos guys send to me. its amazing how much has changed in the online dating world. i dont blame the guys, i suppose there is only so many times you can send an email that says "hi how are you"

I think there just might be a middle ground between the 'hi how are you' and naked pictures though

"hi how are you"
"nice weather"

hi guys,
i have been txting a nice girl that i met on match. she seems lovely and have spent every evening over the last 3 week txting each other. thing is both of us have very busy working lives and we never seem to have a free evening because of other personal commitments fot both of us. i feel that if we dont soon meet the spark could be lost. any way main point - where or what makes for a good first date?? i met a girl before and we went to the zoo, dinner after in Johnny foxs and a drive home across the dublin mountains, we had a great day and really got on wit her but the relationship just frizzled out itself. im not so sure though about the zoo because if we didnt get on it could be a long day. any idea welcome!!

Yep!! Looonnng day! Personally I prefer first dates to be coffee or a drink - short and sweet so you can both stay longer if you want but its easy to leave if you dont get on. Full day things are a no no in my book unless its a few dates in!

Just out of curiosity I wanted to take a look at the match.com site. But I can't get past registering, what do you put in for postcode?

RSVP.com.au a friend of mine over here used it. it costs about $10 to email someone so i think that discourages some of the spam other sites seem to suffer from.

Short date would leave the both of you wanting more! Text/ring her and ask her are there any nice places to have lunch where she lives, it would be great to meet up etc. If you get on well on the first date, you can then organise the next one. Best of luck

See I don't get the whole copy and paste thing. I change my message every single time so it's unique to that person. I wouldn't bother replying to a copy and paste message at all!
