    So my current experience of one OD website stands at 118 different ladies have "viewed" out of which, 100% have decided they'd rather not message.

    So, optimistic on view count or pessimistic on contact, which approach should I take?

    On the whole judging thing: It's not merely judging people that is the problem - if someone is an asshole, treats others badly, or similar stuff, then there is a very good reason to judge that person - the problem with judging, is when people are judged for things which are either petty/inconsequential, or which the person hasn't got control over and can't do anything about (but, there is some leeway here, as attraction can depend on things, that the other person has no control over - even if a lot of it is still a conscious choice).

    People should be judged for bad behaviour and objectively bad traits (which is a much smaller list than people assume) - usually when people complain about judgemental behaviour, what they are complaining about, is judgement that is taken way further towards petty/inconsequential/unfair-(lack of control) things.

    So what's the longest relationship you guys have been in?
    3 years.

    From age 16-26 I was in relationships. The last two years I've been single... making up for lost time I suppose and truth be told, not finished yet. Looking back, I don't think i had the confidence to just be single, that I felt I had to have a gf by my side to battle some insecurity. Now I'm relatively happy and confident to be single... though could do with a beure to bring to weddings :pac:

    It will be another week before I check in on it I think. Then again with that standard I might not be able to contain myself.

    Although I make the effort to write a few lines highlighting things from her profile, asking one or two questions, etc. it rarely generates a reply. However, if anyone messages me (on the rare occasion), I'm either not interested, or the messages are just "hi," or "hi, how are you?" If I was interested enough, perhaps I'd answer. Sometimes they might not even view the profile, but will just message anyway.

    This got me thinking. Would any of you guys go out alone and try to meet someone? Would you be a bit put off by someone approaching you in this manner?

    Personally, I couldn't do such a thing on my own. I'd be lost, if I was on my own. It's always best to do nights out with a friend or as a group. Not alone, though.

    Yeah I've gone out on my own loads of times, and I am not ashamed to admit it's strictly been to pull. If I'm in the mood I'm in the mood and a lack of a friend who's available to go out with me isn't going to stop what I want at that time.

    It's kind of like going on a holiday on your own, it's scary even thinking about it at first, you feel like you'll stand out,, you feel like "I'm a loner" but in reality people don't give a sh*t if you don't give a sh*t and it's just you, you are free to do what you want and once you do it once you'll want to do it again and again.

    "I never message guys first ever. Your move ______ *winky face*."

    This was followed by another message about an hour later, I still hadn't even seen the first message mind you.

    "Don't play hard to get it kills me. What are you doing tonight?"

    If only all women were so confidently up front :pac:

    Sounds persistent! Did it go anywhere? I'm afraid the best I've had was the usual
    'hi'
    'hi, how are you?'

    usually from people who state in their profiles that they won't reply to those type of messages :D

    I went out on my own once. It was cool, I wasnt afraid to approach random people because my friends weren't there so they wouldnt see if I got rejected. so i felt a lot more comfortable approaching without them around

    Yeah and it felt weird to be on the opposite side of that, weird in a good and bad way.

    Yeah I met up with her a few times. If my spidey senses are accurate and they usually are, she just wanted something or someone to get her mind off and over something/someone else. I've no problem being used so whatever like fair play to her :P A driven women who gets what she wants with no bullsh*t is super sexy to me.

    I'm listening to my dad tell a neighbour how he and my mammy met. I've heard the story before. He wrote letters which he gave to a friend who then passed them on to mam. She turned him down the first time he asked her out to a dance. Daddy was persistent. He's just come inside now to bring out their wedding photo.

    :)
