Nope he didn't, have a date set up for this week.
I'm just going to try and not over think it, at least I'll be busy in work that day so won't have time to.....now to look at my wardrobe and wardrobe and find something that looks like I'm making an effort but not trying to hard... *joke* :cool:
Woohoo you!!

Just created a profile on okc for a look. It's so much better than POF, the difference in the quality of profiles is unreal I haven't added anything to my profile yet. I've been on a few dates with a really nice guy but something, well a few things about him are not sitting right with me and give me an uneasy feeling. I'm not sure if this is good intuition though or just me being much too fussy. :rolleyes: 0

We'll see, I'm still full of naive optimism at the moment! I could be singing a very different tune after the date on Thursday!cloud_dancer wrote: »Just created a profile on okc for a look.

I'd always go with your gut, usually it's right.
Well unless you're like a friend of mine who always has a habit of having "gut feelings" after the second date and without fail if she goes for a third/fourth date she's over it. I think in her case it's a nerves thing though.
I like OKCupid, I haven't tried POF but heard stories that it tended to lean a little bit more towards no strings etc so decided to stay away because I'm not really bothered with that at the moment.0 -
Ah, once she's an adult, there's no harm in chatting or even going on a date or two and seeing how things go.
My 'little' sister is 3 years younger than me. When I dated the last guy I met from OD, he was the same age as her and I felt totally weirded out. I mean, same age as my 'little' sister! Bound to be just as immature as I perceive my sister to be. Nope, nice, mature guy.
I think we instantly see someone the same age as our younger siblings as a 'kid,' the way we all see our younger siblings.
You might be right LyndaMcL. Anyway, she asked me out on a date !! 0 -

I had the niggling feeling after the second date but the more we've dated the more apparent it is. Not sure if this is a good enough reason not to give someone a chance but he seems to go from one thing to another and never seems to stick at anything. Has a new interest every time we speak. It's the same with other areas of life such as career/college. He spends a LOT of money quite casually on these new interests too. We're talking very expensive equipment. Plus he lives in a very studenty type house share (4 people) and hasn't seen his 20's in a while.
I admit to being a bit fickle when it comes to men in the past so don't want to rule out someone that is perfect for me in a lot of other ways. Fairly soon things will get to the next level if you know what I mean
I've already delayed this bit as I'm unsure it's wise to be intimate with someone I'm feeling unsure about.0 -

Think I've spotted a scammer. And not a very good one - bless, she's only young. She seemed too good to be true so did a reverse image search. Not only is she lying about her age, she's also in a different country, and pretending to be here. So be aware lads!!
Claiming to be aged 20 from Galway? If so I got the same one, if not there may be more than one scammer about 0 -

Interesting you should mention that, have been on a date or two with a girl who is similar - changes jobs a lot and seems to have all these interests. Talks a lot about herself and her job, but doesn't ask many questions of me at all. Hmmmm....0 -

I was just thinking she is probably spamming every guy on the site. The thing is, there may be one or two who get sucked in..!
It was a fairly obvious fake (probably from someone not very familiar with Ireland, she's supposed to be in Galway but asking someone in Dublin if they wanted to go for a drink).
I did award the scammer some kudos for complimenting my beard though

Was it a real profile ?? You do realise that there are no hot men in Ireland, dont you ?? :pac:
Nope, real profile alright. You'll be glad to know that there are not just hot but HOT men in Ireland. I reverse image searched him and all that. Oh well, on the up side at least I can go to bed secure in the knowledge that I am not THAT shallow. Although, I was very tempted to throw my principles out of the window- along with most of my clothes. :P 0 -

If it was a guy getting a message from a really hot girl, the lack of a profile probably wouldn't matter. You could always take a chance.
I could but that would be very hypocritical on my part. As a general rule, if a guy has neither info nor photos (and won't send them on) or is missing both in his profile but is nice in his opening message, I will respond and say, thanks for taking the time to write but no thanks. If they don't make an effort and are just sleazy, then I just ignore the message. His opening line was, 'hey sexy'. Yes, he's hot but come on- we are not going to have a lot to talk about. Which is such a pity because I am sure the no talking part could have been tons of fun. 0
