I believe I owe about half the thread a massive "I apologize, I should have listened to ye earlier". She's been texting a fair bit today, asking to meet. Eventually I said ok, will 8pm in town suit suit. A resounding yes was the reply. 9pm came and she says she's still in ballinasloe.
And she can fùcking stay there for all I care at this stage. And on that note, im off for a pint. Apologies to all ye who have reading my guff about this girl the past few days. Lesson learned on Panthro's part.

Nah no need to apologise lad. It's your call at the end of the day. At least you know for sure that you're better off without. Sure at least Chelsea are winning. :pac:

Glad you've come about to this opinion. Yer wan sounds awfully callous.
Like I mentioned earlier I've encountered quite a few similar girls from online dating. They seem to be more likely to jerk you (one?) about when they meet you online. Like they don't value the feelings of 'internet people' or something.

Think I'll deactivate the aul' profiles for a while. Still kinda unsure if it's for me or not based on the dates I've had since joining. I also have all my eggs in the "you'll probably meet someone amazing when you're not even looking basket"
:pac:

Anyway, I'm sure I'll be back and of course, keeping an eye on the thread to see how ye all are getting on!

It can be very disheartening. I had joined for a good few months before meeting anyone I even wanted to meet in person. Call me picky, but that's just the way I roll. A friend joined based on my recommendations and met someone within a few weeks and has just returned from holidays with him! I'm envious as to how lucky she was but anyway Happy for her too. I like when people are happy, and love makes people happy

I'm sort of leaning towards taking a different approach. Twistedly I sort of want the award for most ignored guy on those sites :cool:

If you're being ignored/not getting replies, there has to be a fundamental reason.

Aye, and I don't want to think what it might be!

Oh and Galvasean, believe me, women ARE crazy! And I'm fully within my rights to say that as I am one! [A woman, not a crazy!]

Had date sat, was hoping it would turn into second date but alas not to be. I have to say it was a masterclass in rejection on her part though, i came off the phone feeling great about myself even though she was shooting me down :pac::pac:

Am messaging today with another girl which may or may not lead to date. I have to say in these early days i'm finding the whole internet dating experience strange but fun, my approach is to have zero expectations, i think if it ever becomes a chore rather than fun ill drop it.

@ panthro , just reading your posts re the girl you were meant to meet, think of that as a bullet dodged mate, delete number , its pretty shabby way to treat someone.

OOoh never delete the number!! It may lead to confusion further down the line. :pac:

I usually memorise the last 3 or 4 digits of a number that I think might pop-up again. That way I know to ignore it but at the same time, I don't know enough of it that I would end up calling or texting during a moment of weakness/horniness.

Wow.

That's exactly what I do! Although in this day and age it's not an absolutely straight forward process deleting numbers with automatic backups and all but that method can save you in a moment of weakness as you say.

I broke my own rule this weekend when I saved 2 numbers into my phone. It was too confusing having phone calls and texts from unnamed mobile numbers. One of them is getting deleted now.

Ok so had a date with guy who described himself on profile as a really motivated, high achiever,into his appearance etc. TBH was worried that he was going to be completely full of himself so was little hesitant.

Met him and he was quite insecure, put himself down a lot not how he came across on profile. Not attractive when someone keeps pointing out their insecurities but there was something genuine about him and I enjoyed the date. He texted me after to say can't believe how nice and attractive you are.

Get a text next day asking to meet up. Had told him I was going away during date so reminded him that I was not around. Texted him later that day to say have a nice weekend and nothing since! That was Friday!

Am not going to lose sleep over it but still annoying. From reading this thread it seems that this is the norm! Also, people can really misrepresent themselves on profiles, not just about looks but personality etc. Minefield....not for faint hearted. Can see how people get disillusioned with the whole experience!

Maybe he thinks you are not interested?

I told him that I enjoyed the date and that I wouldn't have stayed so long if I wasn't having a good time....but not sure if he believed it. I don't feel I should have to convince him further though, thought I was clear enough.

Have a date on Thursday. He's a Munster fan, but I won't hold that against him, ha ha! Am also supposed to have another date on Saturday, but the guy seems to have disappeared off the face of the planet since Sunday, so I'll be very surprised if that one happens.

Got rumbled by another Boardsie yesterday too...

Was talking with my sis yesterday and she showed me the strangest one I've encountered yet:
"My best friend died 2 months ago. Do you think it's too soon to ride his missus?"
