Oh elusive second date, just what must I do to get you.... :rolleyes:
Think things have ahit a wall between myself and herself. Asked her if she wanted to go out and do something this evening. She tells me she's too hungover. It's always something.
I think I'm gonna take the hint and leave it at that.
FRAK!!
Thought you said you wouldn't be meeting her anyway until after the 16th or something? or maybe that's someone else I'm thinking off.
Nothing worse than being hungover and folks wanting you to ....actually move :pac:
She also may not want you to see her in her hungover state

Ah but sure you might have been hungover yourself this morning, it's a pretty ok excuse. If she's self-conscious about how she looks while feeling crap, well, she might want to wait until she feels more confident etc.Give it one more try Galvasean, ask her out some other time and if she doesn't then just tell her if she wants to see you again it's up to her to arrange it.
Once again Mags delivers on the excellent advice. If she really wanted nothing more to do with you she'd just stop replying to I'd imagine, or explain it if she was anyway decent. Don't give up yet, especially if you like her man

Think i'll ask her later if she wants to pop online for a chat. That should be doable..
And if she doesn't reply don't think the worst she could be passed out asleep due to hungoverness!
Or she may simply not have the energy or be in the mood for a conversation... I can get fierce grumpy when I am very hungover and have been known to snap at people to shut them up due to the sore head :pac::o
Hmmm so it might be maybe better to leave hangover day and start afresh tomorrow evening wanting a chat online
Just a suggestion!0 -

Hmm, you're probably right on that one. Don't wanna come across as clingy.
I'd be a little concerned about the clinginess, but coming off as interested can be very good I just meant that it's likely if she's genuine or not she'll turn it down for today anyway, so you might be better off waiting till at least tomorrow.
ugh, hate these games...not knowing what to do etc.I think I'm just having one of those days where I'm just fed up with everything.
This is the first time I'm single in about 13-14 years, so maybe it's just a good idea to enjoy it for a while.
well there's no point forcing yourself to 'enjoy' it, if you don't you don't. I gather you've just gotten out of a long term relationship, so maybe it would be good to have a bit of a break from it for a bit, if you need to figure out what you're after. I dunno, just sayin.0 -

Might be a good time to reconnect with old friends and all that lark. I've you've just come out of a long term relationship it's often the best idea to give it a break and get your emotions back in neutral and old chums are often a good way to do this. The last thing you want is to transfer your loved up feelings from your ex onto some new guy who turns out to be completely different when the rebound shine wears off.0 -

Tuddle the hangover pro!
The Hangover Pro....I likes it Fewi :cool:
It's essential in my now older years to ensure the hangover goes as smoothly as possible. Learnt a few tricks along the way.
Can't remember the password for my OK or was it POF....hmmm well no matter as I'll be bit busy with moving counties this month so no point dating anyone right now.0 -

I'll make you a new sig
You can do the groundwork though Tudz, and develop a lady of mystery status by moving locations mid-chat. Dun dun dunnnnnnI'd never 'neglect' my friends when I'm in a relationship, but I know what you mean though:)
Well I went through a terrible time when I ended my last long term relationship a couple of years back, but I feel now that I am back on track and that I have properly moved on.
Ah, I wouldn't assume you're one of those people to disappear when they've a boyfriend, I was just suggesting that the friends of arms are better than the arms of strangers when it comes to finding one's self
Now... to think of a OkCupid username. Seems everyone I try has been used, which is mad because I'm putting in absolute nonsense!0 -
Aye that's very true!:)Ah, I wouldn't assume you're one of those people to disappear when they've a boyfriend, I was just suggesting that the friends of arms are better than the arms of strangers when it comes to finding one's self

I liked my username, JellyBean, and yes I'm slightly addicted to jellybeans:p0 -

For me it doesn't make any difference at all. But sure it's always nice when someones username actually makes you laughluvbulmers01 wrote: »On the topic of usernames do you find youll be drawn to some by there usernames and other youd avoid?

Oh no! I'm surprised you closed your account and gave up such a choice username. JellyBean was an excellent username, it's all about the positivity and yumminess.luvbulmers01 wrote: »On the topic of usernames do you find youll be drawn to some by there usernames and other youd avoid?

I tried referencing a comedy quote in a PoF username. Um, nobody has commented on it yet, though as has often been said on here, it's hard enough getting someone to view your profile, nevermind finding someone who'll get a reference. One day.
I say they do have quite the effect though, uninventive ones are like an instant -3 points in my book. 0 -

Yes I find that a username can either attract me or put me off. For example if I see a username like studman1972...well it gives me a clue of that person's thinking. I wouldn't be put off by bland usernames but one's with sexual innuendo are not for me.
Just to say I am loving this thread and decided to get back on the whole online dating thing but with a better perspective. It is kind of heartening to know that I am not the only one who gets anxiety about a first date or fed up with getting little or no replies to e-mails (I am a woman) or trying to mind read the meaning behind a text. This thread is like a wonderful support group reading everyone's ups and downs.
Oh and not all us wimmins get loads of e-mails...maybe its the photo it is scaring them all off.
Finally I used OK Cupid and found it really good but I seem a little old for it (nearly 40) whereas POF has more people my age but I may reconsider OK Cupid again at some point.0 -
I'm glad there's women posting on this forum.
How many times have you tried to arrange the second date? If it's more than 3 times, I would consider moving on. Having said that, things can come up. I think you should just base it on her general tone when talking on the phone, texting (although thats hard to read) and her general level of interest in the first date, if you sensed it went well. It most likely did.0 -
