I might note that we met on OkC too, and chatted as friends until we had an opportunity to meet (8 months) and then only for a week...and it was a further 5 months until we could meet again. Granted the distance was non-negotiable, after all I was in Oireland, she was in Croatia.
One of us had to move, and I made the decision that it would be me.
Anyway, during my time on the site, as a singleton, I found that grammar was key for some women (they liked to know their man could handle their dangling prepositions I suppose), or wit was an ice breaker elsewhere (one girl emailed me on the basis of ONE solitary question answered out of over 1000).
Now, a mid-April work deadline does not seem wholly unusual. I work ludicrous hours myself so if I *was* single I could not take the time to travel anywhere. I can have a lazy weekend once a fortnight and be rested for work, or I can go gallivanting about the place and be utterly shattered come Monday morning.
If you like the guy you'll keep an open mind about it. I was messaging a paramedic, a beautiful woman, a long time back, but her hours, while stable, were at complete odds with my own.
Of course these sites are still full of complete whack-jobs. That guy mentioned earlier who wanted to 'break into a park'. Why? Wasn't he loved enough as a child? I was abused by a woman who found herself excluded from being potentially picked because she used drugs, something which I had flagged as a 100% deal-breaker (being a smoker was 70% deal breaker in case the lass in question was, herself, smoking).
Patience is key folks; I met the future Mrs SEE maybe 4-5 weeks into my account being active, and it took me 6 months to realise I liked her a bit more than needing to shag someone... by the time we met in the flesh it was already written in the stars.
Of course there is no Bank Holiday Monday here. Stuck in my office. Phil Coulter on Newstalk though, so that helps.
Ahhhh SEE, you've given me hope, lovely story
You're absolutely spot on about grammar, that is a must for me I have to say.. None of this "hi how r u doin babz"
Yes you're right there, it's not entirely unusual, and I do know people that would put their work first and foremost if they have a deadline to meet and everything else goes on the back burner. I suppose, as I said, I've not much else going on so what's the point in pondering it. :rolleyes:0 -
Bl**dy men!!
(yeah and women too I know)
Been chatting to one guy for about a week - he had just signed up. Great messages, loads in common, had pics up etc. Logged on today and his profile has been deleted - what gives
And seemingly its my loss because I wouldnt meet someone with no pic! Seriously folks Im really considering joining a convent!! :rolleyes:0 -

It's all a mystery to me, I thought it would be easier on dating sites but nope, seems as complicated as in RL
Nope nothing! And his last message was nothing unusual. He literally only signed up the day he mailed me! Men eh! 0 -

I know!! If we could understand them, and they could understand us, the world would be a better place. I came across a bloke my friend was seeing on POF before. Obviously told her and she ripped him a new one. His profile was gone next time I checked :P That could be one reason, although there are dozens more.Nope nothing! And his last message was nothing unusual. He literally only signed up the day he mailed me! Men eh!0 -

Very strange (and annoying). I can imagine someone attached setting up a profile as an ego boost (and suddenly closing it if the partner got wind), but they would hardly put up photos!Nope nothing! And his last message was nothing unusual. He literally only signed up the day he mailed me! Men eh!0 -

My theory on that is surely they would use pics of better looking blokes!:D 0 -

If they had any sense, and he had down 'looking for a relationship' boy was my friend maaaaaad :rolleyes:I hear ya!
I've written messages and on re-read thought "woops, better change that because that definitely won't come across as I mean it". :pac:
Ha I've done that too. Saves the having to explain myself after the inevitable response. 0 -

But she'll get chatting to someone like you did to her and they'll get on great too and it'll be his gain. So really it's only your loss if you lose out :P
Like if the most perfect woman in the world rejected you would it be still your loss? :P Not talking about you, just in general
