Try him with this one and see if it turns him on. I'm going to link it, because even though there's nothing showing I'm pretty sure it's NFSW :

Owen, I just Pm'd this back to him - it'll be interesting seeing what I'll get back (if he doesn't die of shock!)

Had a date Saturday night. Went for drinks in a cosy pub. Went well. Got text asking if I got home safe and that he really enjoyed the evening. I replied stating the same... not a dickey bird over the last couple of days!

You realise he's probably sitting thinking the exact same as you?

Text him, what have you to lose?

Text him once mind, see if he replies. If he doesn't, oh well, you tried and can move on. If he does, great.

I've tried taken the initiative with the last few men I meet and nothing positive came of it. Maybe men my age (30s) are not as used to or open to women being forward! I swore I would let the man do the texting next time.

There are a number of TS profiles on POF that Ive seen actually.

Fair play to them having the confidence to put themselves out there.

I'm just back from my first POF date. She was nice, the conversation flowed and I was attracted to her but something about her didn't quite sit right. She was trashed after 2 pints.

Yeah, I sometimes feel like I should hold back a bit. :cool: I do think some guys do run away from that..

But then sure isn't it luck of the draw and you may never know..

And then some guys love it..

But in fairness, if she has gone on a date, if a guy was interested would he not be dying to text her??

Maybe she had a drink or two beforehand cos she was nervous (bad bad idea of course!)?

Edit: misticles beat me to it!

I think it differs really. I hate that whole "wait x amount of hours/days" BS. I know if I had a great time I'd be eager to text her to arrange something in the near future.

What's the point in waiting about really? If you don't take the initiative then the chances are that somebody else will.

Id agree with the others and give her the benefit of the doubt.Maybe try a non beer related activity for date #2.

Well I would but you know yer self how the world of online dating can turn usually regular people into dribbling gombeens!

Give her another chance!

Believe me... I was that girl a few moths ago...

Except it was 8 glasses of wine (1 pre to calm my nerves) ...
I'd say I left a lasting impression alright.

I don't think I have a thick enough skin for this stuff.

How important do people see the match% aspect of OKC? Do other sites have this?

As finding a kindred spirit is really important to me, I am seriously only looking to people that match well after answering a lot of questions etc.

The one person who's profile I thought was really great and someone I thought I'd connect well with never replied to me. Now I feel crappy enough with that. But on the flip side I've all these women who are completely incompatible visiting my profile and messaging me and I just don't understand it.Plus I feel horrible trying to message them and say I'm not interested somehow without coming off like an asshole.

So I feel crap about girls I like not being interested in me and crap for not being interested in girls who inexplicably seem to show interest in me. Crap all over.

Is there a match feature like OKC on other sites?

Not sure I can handle this much more though
