This same girl:
-Took her out for a date, paid for a coffee, she suggested meeting up again
-2nd date, went great, went for lunch (paid again, not that I mind at all). She says she'll text me.
-Text her a breezy message at the weekend, finally get a response 2 days later
-Text her asking if she fancies meeting again. That was yesterday, still no reply. Also see she has deleted her profile.
What a charmer.
I think I'm dating her twin! Well apart from the fact that he's been very almost overly generous with paying for everything. We nearly have a row whenever I try to pay for anything. While I appreciate this, I like to pay my way and don't like to feel indebted to anyone. I've had to sneak up to the bar to get drinks in!
The text thing is almost identical though!
it suited me because I don't like to feel smothered but there's also playing things too cool. 0 -

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.
It could still be. 0 -

Him: 'hey sexy'
You: ' hey hottie'
Him: 'what ya up to'
You: 'nothin much. You?'
Him: 'just chillin. bored. gud wknd?'
You: ' yeah and you?'
Him: ' cool. Soo cud I get your number?'
That's the way that convo will go. Followed by equally torturous texting every 2 mins if you let it get that far.0 -

Ha!
The thing is, I don't think she's playing it cool - I think she's prob just not that interested and doesn't have the balls to text to just say that.
Is that the way people do things? Just don't reply and hope they get the message?0 -

It's been a year since I txt'd the wrong number, kicked myself and corrected it and am very glad I did as she turned out to be my perfect match and I can't imagine life without her

Havent had any replies yet
But I only sent a few messages so I'll keep trying.
What do people recommend saying for the first message? I've pretty much just been saying hello, picking out bits of their profile that I (genuinely) find interesting and asking about that... about the type of books or films or whatever they say they like. That the way to do it?0 -

You are going the right way about it anyway. After that it's just a matter of them fancying you back 0 -

Might change my pic to one of me with Labrador puppies, give me an edge! Giraffes at the zoo don't seem to be doing the trick!cloud_dancer wrote: »You are going the right way about it anyway. After that it's just a matter of them fancying you back 0 -

Chicks love labrador puppies I've offen sent a message to someone with an animal in their profile pic even if I didn't fancy them. I love animals so an animal lover is a huge plus. 0 -

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
She is looking to meet up straight away, even though I know she's in a different country?!
What could she be up to I wonder....!0 -
