    Your post implied that all fussy people are "hiding" from me or another poster.

    It was an ignorant statement, ie uninformed.

    I think you need to read over the post and the preceding ones again as you have completely misinterpreted it.
    Kind of ironic that you would call me ignorant in this case..

    Messaged a girl the last day. She messaged back, and then went to bed and said she'd chat another time.

    Mail her today, and no reply. I message again just there and says "sorry babe, got back with my ex"....yeaahhhhhhh. I'd say you did ;)

    EDIT: I replied back saying "suuuuuure you did ;) Thanks for being "honest".

    And she replies back with this

    You bitch when people dont reply to you.You bitch when they do.

    You cant have it every way you know.

    At least she gave you a reason,whether it was the truth or not,rather than just blanking you.

    Bad idea, avoid going negative or sarcastic if you can. Even if your interaction with someone online is at an end there's no point ending on a sour note even if you're feeling disappointed or messed about.

    There are many times when we'd all dearly love to call out someone's crap or poor behaviour but there's really no point. Wish them well and be thankful you dodged a bullet. I mean, just imagine what a relationship with these people would be like. Nightmare.

    Very sound advice.
    Not that I always follow it... Good advice nonetheless.

    Well I'd prefer to be told where I stand. As I have mentioned it clearly on my profile.

    You can't control how other people will behave though, her answer won't be any different whether you confront her about it or not. I would say just write things like that off and move on. Otherwise you'll do your head in. Dating isn't easy, you need a thick skin for it sometimes!

    The girl who's worrying me a bit from POF text again last night, after 2am, offering to meet up and go for a walk today.

    I don't get it. I haven't contacted her in weeks or replied to any of her texts and she texts me at least once or twice a week.

    Is it always late at night, after a few drinks. Drinks and mobile phones are a lethal combination

    Ah, thats brilliant. Great to hear of some success.

    I was out the other week and recognised one of the guys that went to one of the single nights i organised. He thanked as he met someone at it and been with her for over a month now, he was delighted. I felt a bit like Cilla Black!!

    Hi all,

    Deleted my POF profile a month ago but received a text off a girl who had initially canceled a date as she was sick but wanted to meet up. Met up for a coffee date and got on ok - two hours long, casual, nervous, etc. Anyway, she was the first to text that day saying it was lovely meeting me. Now, usually I get 'lovely to meet you but sorry - there's no chemistry'. I replied saying it was lovely to meet her too. Is she giving me the polite shove?

    I always believe in giving someone two dates unless they're a complete disaster and one can't know much about a person over a couple of coffees.

    I'd say follow it up and go for a second date.

    Hey guys and gals,

    So I have been an occasional lurker on this thread recently. Just started online dating a week or so ago on pof and to say I am a little overwhelmed would be an understatement so been having the occasional lurk on here to see how the rest of ye work the whole online dating scene..Don't know if I'm cut out for it all but sure i'm giving it a good go.

    Have received all sorts of messages but I guess I'm just wondering how ye all manage messaging a good few guys at the same time..I have come across a few nice genuine guys now..but they seem equally as nice interesting and I'm the sort that usually likes to focus in on one at a time but if I do that and it doesn't work I could have lost out on an opportunity to see another great guy. So does it just take some getting used to???
