He text back asking why!!

I said it to him that i didnt like the fact that he acted like a child when i said i wouldnt wear the heels and i said that i dont think we should meet up at all because i am uncomfortable with it.

"I really liked you, but now it seems you were messing me around the whole time"

A classic attempt at trying to reverse the blame, since when did people have to give an explanation as to why they don't want to continue with a date? Big mistake even getting into a dialogue with him on why you wanted to cancel...

I would message him "Tell whichever friend of yours that dared you to ask me to wear heels for you that i'm no longer interested. Best of luck. Bye!"

FYP.

He's playing mind games (poor ones at that too), trying to make you feel sorry for him. Best move on and forget him.

I just went down to the Spar to try to load 20 Euro onto my pre-paid Visa card for some online Paddy Power Poker, and the Spar closes at 9! Argh! To think that I could be out on a date if fate had been kinder to me!

You sir, are what one might call 'a player'.

Either that or you're Brad Pitt's double. Good work, fella!

He's amazeballs is what he is.
So I've a date with a 36 year old. Finally live out the dream of going on a date with someone 8 years older. Ara, she's caught my attention, I'm going with my instinct on this one!

Without saying too much, cause you never know who's on boards, everything was going fine till suddenly he turned a bit odd, acted as if I wasn't there, and then threw me out around 11, and then never replied to my emails. His apology was accepted and welcome, everyone has headspace moments.

That is really weird.....do you think he deserves a second chance?

Im a little unsure about my date tomorrow. I dont think he is too impressed with me at the moment. We said we would meet in the morning and do stuff all day but he wanted me to wear heels because he has a thing for them but i said i wont id would be very uncomfortable wearing massive heels all day and then he got really weird and goes oh sure meet me at 2 and we'll hang out for a bit!

Mmm sounds like a bloke I met of Pof recently. Was all about high heels and wanted a relationship. Turns out wasnt really into the latter.

It's certainly good you have a thick skin, but other girls he will inevitably target may get upset by the same creepy approach.

You really should report him to POF and highlight his quote. Then block him.

Oh FFS! I hope you told him to bog off.

To be honest, he asked me what I thought after he sent the pictures and I admitted I didn't think he looked the same as on POF and it wasn't what I was expecting him to look like at all and he pretty much told me to fuck off! Well, that's exactly what he told me.

Does anybody have any success stories with online dating? All these stories of creeps and time wasters is really turning me off.

Much of the problem may be the people who have had success are off enjoying thier new parner the people who have not are moaning on here.

Did a quick search myself last night on POF and sent out one or two mails. Kinda felt like slim pickings in a way, no new girls popped up on the search. I'm still thinking about axing the profile. I don't really want to go onto a pay site though so perhaps a completely break is in order.

blacklilly

I deleted my profile about two months ago and it feels great not to be on it. When I did have a profile it felt like I was " putting myself out there" 24/7.
I'm still single but actually doesn't bother me as much now. I hated logging in after another failed date and became so
Sceptical of it.
For some it works, for others it doesn't and for me it definitely doesn't

HellFireClub

Think I'll be taking a rain check on pof as well, I don't believe that anything you try in life should annoy you as much as this website.

There's definitely been a few on this thread and also I introduced my friend to POF last year and her relationship is still going strong! It does happen.

Messaging this really interesting guy and it's been a couple of days of back and forth mails, I suggest meeting up for a drink and he simply writes back "No".

Jesus I'm not that bad!!!!

What a tosser!

This is why I'll never use plenty of fish again, too many ****ing timewasters!

His loss, move on (to a different site also!)

Theres lots of success story's. You have to put effort into it as well.
I went out with a guy for a year from pof. Went out with a guy from boards as well. Then joined pof again, Went on loads of dates, 5 in one week, so i was slightly confused by the end of it
Now im in a relationship from pof with a really nice guy, and its going great.
Yes there are timewasters, but its like any relationship. Ups and downs.

Mr_Spaceman

Can anyone recommend a better alternative to POF?
