    I got a message from a girl, when I reviewed her profile the pictures were dated from 2005 :confused:

    Ask her if she has any recent pictures. I don't think there's an 'unawkward' way around it.

    If thats a timestamp from a camera, sometimes their dates reset when changing batteries, or left off for extended periods of time.

    I never bothered changing it on mine.

    never had any luck with it, but this always happenend - would be messaging with someone, talking about meeting up, almost having a date set, then suddenly never hear from them again. Must have happened 4 or 5 times. After that I gave up on it. Was pretty disappointing as they all looked and sounded great.

    Going on a date tomorrow. I was just thinking that the guy I am going to meet is not someone I would have imagined myself going on a date with when he first messaged me but because he made an effort, was polite and consistent, here we are. I am excited about it. :)

    Third date last night. It was for some reason more awkward than the previous two. I dunno why, maybe cause the day that was in it! It was also just a cinema date, so we didn't really have the opportunity to chat much obviously! Date 4 is planned next week, hopefully it will go better and we have more time to chat this time. :-)

    been chatting to a girl from the states who messaged me on pof a good while back. as the emails became more regular we skype each other most days now and she wants to come over for few weeks. is this kinda thing common? should i be lookin out for anything? ...or just go with it and see what happens? its exciting but on the otherhand im thinkin with the distance involved, is there nobody over there that suits her more than someone like me who is a couple of thousand miles away?

    8 long dates with a girl i met on pof, she stayed over at mine a couple times, getting on well (I thought) now i'm getting the cold shoulder and being completely ignored and I don't know why.

    Not even a text to say something.

    dammit.

    oh well. stings a bit.

    Wowzers,that is bad.After one or two dates you could say fair enough and leave it at that but after 8 thats very bad form.

    Happens to me ALL THE TIME. I can only assume they're chatting with / organizing a date with another dude too and they pick him over you for whatever reason. Stings the first couple of times but you get used to it after a bit. Just gotta move on and not dwell on it.

    I replied to ask and it said they weren't accepting mails from people my age or gender.

    FOREVER ALONE!!! :pac:
