    I just got a text there now saying she's going to be too busy with work and things over the next few weeks so it's better we don't make plans. Sounds like a PFO to me which is how I'm treating it. Number deleted :)

    Or a possible way to keep you in the loop, but keeping you at arms length while she sees how it goes with someone else that just appeared on the radar. I've had this a couple of times. All interest, then drops suddenly, but active like crazy on the site. You hear nothing then a few weeks later get a "How are you sorry was mad busy :)"

    So finally started to sign up for POF, but as was late, didn't fill out the second page. Had a look at it. What's with all the questions about parents, etc. that are apparently just used behind the scenes?

    Had coffee with a woman yesterday, towards the end she suggested we go to hers for some more coffee, that it would be in my interest, i got the hell away from the crazy lady; probably was going to bring me to a flat full of latvian gangsters to mug me
    Um, what? Gangsters? Sounds more like an offer for sexy times!

    Last time I was asked back for coffee was by a leggy dark raven haired sweet lady.

    Believe it or not it was for a coffee and were good friends since.

    Ah but you see, making a good friend is far better than a meaningless superficial date. ;)

    I agree. But what about women don't even bother reading your profile ? I specifically say in my profile that I am looking for someone 'fairly' close to my location in Dublin. Despite that, our of those who have contacted me, 9 out 10 are down the country ........ :rolleyes:

    I think I prefer to get no reply rather than a one liner that is basically nothing more than answers to my questions with no attempt to engage in conversation.

    Yes that's very annoying. I've had a lot of reply's with just one word. Pointless!!! Not many people are willing to reciprocate the effort.

    Downloaded the phone app today. Can't say I like it. Did manage to force myself to send a message on it. Fingers crossed the app is lucky! :pac:

    I've done that quite a few times (brought women back for coffee). It usually is actual coffee though.

    Ah yes the old, "Thanks." reply. You should reply with "That went well. we should do this again some time."
    It's what I do.
    I'm so ronery!!!!

    All my prayers have been answered. I just got a mail from some guy with no information on his profile but apparently in the US Army and wants me!! Could OKC get any better than this!! I'll bet I'm not the only lady who got that mail today either. Smells of scam.

    Has anybody else seen the traveller girl on POF. She has pictures of herself in the caravan with lots of make-up. Savage body on her all the same.

    Log in, a girl has sent me a message, she seems nice.

    Except all it said was "hii" Ok I thought maybe she's just a little unsure of what to say starting off.

    "Convo" in-sues, with me making all the chit chat her answering my questions but asking none of her own to keep it going, grrrr.

    I don't know whether to keep going or not. I'd have said previously she's not interested but its happened before where they chat back but not massively but then give me their number and ask about meeting up.

    Should I just assume some are just not suited to this whole messaging or what?

    Give it a bit of a go sure. Some people are just really really bad at messaging. You'd never know, she may be an excellent conversationalist IRL.

    This is what I do when I get mail from ladies I have abs no interest in. If they are in a part of the country far from me or something obviously different to me I will prob send a nice appreciatory mail back pointing this out ... and if not I don't reply at all. I think this keeps it all a bit cleaner and clearer to both parties.

    Was asked on a date by someone I had only ever exchanged one short message with, a few weeks ago. I told him to get to know me first. Talked for a while over the last 2 days, ended up going on a date today. It was absolutely lovely. Had a few drinks and played pool. I somehow managed to win! Might have involved a few kisses too :o

    Seeing him again on Tuesday :)

    Very happy. There was just like, something there. Wasn't as awkward as the other dates I've been on. It was totally comfortable and chilled out. :)

    Most dates I've been on have been awkward because I get so shy, but it was nice. He texted me to say that I'm lovely. Was supposed to see him again on Friday but he wanted it sooner, so Tuesday it is. :)

    So had a look at the archived mails on OKC. I sent my first message on December 2010.

    Sent a mail to a guy on POF last week. Didn't hear back from him until yesterday but we got chatting last night and I ended up asking him out. Well out of my comfort zone but worked out. We're meeting later in the week. He seems nice so fingers crossed.
    Another possible date with a guy been chatting to for a while. We had been trying to meet for a while but couldn't find a suitable day for both of us. Feast or famine for sure!!
