ffs in all fairness if I was him I would block her profile or ignore her.
Busy busy I'm so important sounds like a right diva LOL
A guy like me could spot that BS " I'm doing this that and the other"
In other words hang on there like a good man and ill get on with my life but if I change my mind ill be on to ya.
That pretentious Celtic Tiger attitude is still hanging by a thread
Eh? I think she meant it as a joke going by her track record with online dating.
Its ok for people to be too busy to meet for a while, you are entitled to a life outside POF too!0 -

Very harsh, mate. If you read back on the thread, it's obvious she's making a joke about her experiences with online dating thus far.
As for the being busy thing - it's not about being pretentious and thinking you're important. Some people genuinely are too busy. I'm busy with hospital appointments, work stuff, family responsibilities, etc. I can make time here and there, but at the end of the day, every day life does get in the way and especially for students with exams coming up.
Also. Thing with the guy I met online years ago who admitted he has feelings for me (we know each other offline too now and have done for quite a while) is going okay. Got some cutesy messages to wake up to this morning. Not pinning too many hopes on it though, since he's away in another country with work til August! So not deleting my POF just yet.
Also, messaged a guy just to tell him I approved of him liking Rammstein. Turns out he's another bloody Boardsie! You boards men are all over the place! Half the messages I get are from you lot! :pac:0 -

Eh seriously? Just cause someone is too busy to meet a person doesn't mean they are pretentious! For the next 5 weeks I am not free any Friday or Saturday and only some Sundays and the Sundays I am free I will have been travelling that day so not in the form and anyway I don't do Sunday night dates as I tend to be shattered and have to sort myself out for the week. I am free some Thursdays but with work and meeting friends there aren't that many!0 -

Like not responding is fine, that I get. But you message someone and they dont even click on your profile
If I don't like the look of the thumbnail picture I won't bother going into the profile, shallow I know :rolleyes:0 -

Hi peeps
Just joined pof and boards today ...
I have had about 30 messages on pof today alone ...
At least half them should be in mental institutions ... The other half seem think I will be seduced by a pic of a spotty torso and offers to watch them have a **** on Skype ???? WTF ????
Are these people allowed out ?
Lol its the 'fresh meat' syndrome. Will die down - well mine did anyway! 0 -

Just a query (as have no upcoming dates to post about):
If you were dating someone regularly from a site (POF for purpose of this example), would you be annoyed if (and at this case ye were in an exclusive relationship):
a) You had deleted your profile but heard from a friend that your partner still had theirs up
b) You went on to your friends page to check and realised they were ONLINE??
Like I am dating this girl, however we only had our 3rd date last week and it seems that there is at least a week between dates (will be even longer before our 4th if it happens :rolleyes:) so I dont think it would be unreasonable for us to continue "fishing"??:cool:0 -

Have you talked to this girl about your relationship? If not then I do not think you can be annoyed at her at all. 3 dates is not a lot so in her opinion you might not be in a relationship and she might very well be dating other people.
If you have talked to her and agreed you are in a relationship then fair enough you have a right to be annoyed, no proper talk about "us" means there is no "us".0 -

Is this the same girl who kept putting off the 3rd date?0 -
Well I have a little tale to tell! A few weeks ago I posted about someone I had met online and had a couple of dates with. Really liked the guy, loved being with him but just didn’t fancy him and wasn’t going to see him again – didn’t really think it was fair. We kept in touch online and met up for coffee once or twice. Well since then things have progressed!!
Have been out several times, have met his friends etc. He is absolutely amazing – considerate, thoughtful, helpful, generous to name but a few. And as for not fancying him – I’m finding it difficult to keep my hands off him when we go out!!:o
Moral of the story?? Have no idea but who cares!!!

@Dovies, Great story,
I think to be honest its hard to make a good judgement on just the 1st date but seems some people do. My point of view was either way even if you make new friends from the whole online dating thing it could turn into more later. Which is obviously whats happened, 0 -

Moral of the story is not to write off someone you get on well with just because you aren't initially attracted to them.Best of luck with it D!
