I saw the simpsons episode "Bart the lover" again recently and it made me wish I had named my online dating profile as "Woodrow Wilson" to see if anyone picked up on the reference

It was amazing from start to finish but to be honest I had expected that given how much we were texting etc ...

She sent me a message on POF last Tuesday, started chatting, asked her for her number on the Thursday, then asked her on a date Friday and she said yes.... things are moving quickly it seems but hey no complaints so far :P

Nobody is replying only the insanely good looking ones. Why is that, no answer from the regular blokes

I took the plunge today and joined OKC!

I'd been humming and hawing about internet dating for a while, but this morning I took a deep breath and joined up.

Keep your fingers crossed for me

Include a few different photos...where you look good of course :cool:

Write a fair description under each section in the profile page - expand on your interests/likes without writing an essay :P try not to be too negative eg I've been hurt too many times in the past/why are guys/girls such a*holes....etc, it's quite offputting in my opinion.

You can filter at the end what kind of person you're looking for, eg Age range.

Get some one to look over it! Once its not a list of negativity then you should be sound!

Hmm, well it could be there was something in your profile that they aren't interested in, or that your message didn't catch their attention, or even that they hadn't been online since?
