    Must be just from their application. I'm sure some would say they will make 'good TV' etc.

    I don't know the guy and didn't see the show. However, I do know his former boss quite well and he doesn't have much good to say about his character or morals. He called the dater "just unbelievable".

    I never said, and don't think, that you have an agenda. However, I think the content is insensitive wrt the guy and potentially embarrassing to the original source.

    Not your ornery onager

    Online dating is a complete waste of time if you're not good looking.

    I don't know this guys former boss. However I do know this other guy quite well who knows the former boss and he doesn't have much good to say about his character or morals. He said of the former boss "he's unbelievable how he loves to begrudge anyone".

    Am I doing it right? :rolleyes:

    What I said is and was intended to be accepted as hearsay. I did qualify the statement as such and if you knew the full context of "his boss", you'd see it would be almost impossible to trace it to that individual.

    All I've said is that going by what I was told by someone whose opinion personally, I would reasonably trust is that I wouldn't like this guy dating someone close to me.

    If I were single and struggling to find a relationship, taking a good look at myself now -- let's see, off putting things.
    - dramaqueen
    - moody
    - quick tempered
    - stubborn
    - unpredictable

    What mans going to put up with those dramatics before getting to know me? Nobody. I'd need to sort myself out, keep calm, stop getting myself worked up for no reason etc etc, rather than think everyone else had a problem with me when it's not true.
    Me,I married a woman just like that.:mad:

    HunnyBunch,if you're reading this I'm only jesting.......honest.:D

    Ok im back to not wanting to be on the show anymore! People you may have wronged in the past could be watching. All your skeletons would probably start coming out of the closet! :o

    First dates are nerve wrecking enough without having it televised.

    Went on a first date Thurs night, and got some very mixed signals..

    Date went grand, chatted away, got on good, had food and a few drinks.

    I left her home... we kissed in the car and things escalated slightly (let's just say she shook hands with the president) while we waited on her friend returning as they were going away for the weekend on Friday morning...

    I have not heard from her since!? Other than a snapchat; she never replied to my whatsapp on Thurs night... I find that really weird. I've been ghosted (and been the "ghoster" myself) before and I would normally just say ah feck it and move on but never has it happened in this manner #confused

    Maybe she was hoping for the President and ended up with the Press Secretary?








    Sorry! :pac:

    I don't do online dating anymore as I'm in a 3 year relationship, but I certainly did send messages first. I think most women in this thread do.


    And in my experience, I got about as many rejections as I did responses!

    I have tried it and would probably try it again but I tend to get messages from a lot of creepy people.

    Yep.

    I'm clearly an acquired taste though, judging by the lack of responses!!

    I think if your a woman in your 30's or older, you have more confidence to send the first message. Not many women in their 20's ever seem to message first but that could just be with me, I dunno.

    I don't think it's an age thing. I think it's how people think. At first, I was too nervous to send the first message but now, if I see someone I like and I want to chat with them, I just think the worst they can do is not reply :/

    I'm in my 20s btw

    Well tbh fair play to you, I think it shows confidence to message first, especially for a woman.
