Deleted my POF today out of severe frustration.

It's not the lack of replies from the first message I send that annoys me. Which yeah it's tedious I suppose, annoys a lot of people, I can live with that.

What's worse is when I get a good conversation going, feels like banter is being had I'll get 5 -12 messages in, not saying anything negative or offputting in the chat, I get that tiny glimmer of hope that they might be interested.....and the messages just stop on their end. And I don't want to have to chase a message back because that would make a guy look kind of desperate.

Makes me think people on online dating have the attention span of a 3 year old. Wouldn't kill people to end the conversation gracefully, even leave the door open to come back later and chat rather than leaving the chat on the edge of a cliff.

Hate online dating.

Yeah, I really wanted my husband to watch me eating and then me watch him eating and give you my money for the privilege.

This. And hate when you're out for breakfast or brunch and they serve the tea or coffee ages before the food arrives and it's either gone cold or you've almost finished it by then.

Because nobody wants a conversation would be my guess?
If you haven't asked someone out inside a few days, or at least pointed in that direction... you're going into the friend-zone...and people have so many RL ones, they don't need POF ones.
That's just my opinion though.

Try asking for their number or FB, or even Snapchat or whatnot early - I've seen what a woman's inbox looks like on POF before, utter carnage.

TA that I read that message without seeing the word "in"
Gave it a whole different meaning...and now Im disappointed it's not what I thought!

Just ask them for a fresh one....they say anything tell them it's their fault for serving coffee too early.....no sympathy on restaurants

Well with me, 5-12 messages would be only an evenings worth of messages at best, at that stage I'm only wanting to get to know the person and working my way up to asking them out, like in my mind it's winning their confidence I suppose, I wouldn't want to date someone so fast, and I'd like to think they wouldn't want to meet up so fast either.

I've a female friend who was on POF too (was into her when I met her first actually, but found her too flighty)...but we're good friends now and chat a lot, saw her inbox on POF during a discussion on it on a night out...lot of dudes messaging, dozens and dozens, most of them nutjobs and weirdos, giving her abuse and commenting on her figure, saying she'd be better looking if she lost some weight, which was ridiculous, she looks great, she gave up on it like I did. Type of girl that shouldn't be single, I've met a lot of her dates, all of them were complete douches.

Everything is TAing me today so I'm not sure if this is an actual TA or just the fact that I'm 1.5 days off the smokes and feeling it already, but I was pulling out of a car park, turning right onto a road so needed to see both ways and a plonker in a massive van turning left pulled out about two centimeters further than I was so I could see nothing except the side of his van... Nearly got out and caused a scene!!!!

Same here. One lady is lovely and we always have a chat and a laugh. I'm nearly half afraid of the other one!

TAd that I just woke up from a dream where I was just doing my job. Nothing weird happened, no zombie apocalypses or killer clowns, I was just at work, working.
I think that may be an indicator that I need to look at my work life balance, if I can't even have fun dreams anymore!

That is the pits. I had a horrible job years ago, really long hours and lots of pressure. I would go to bed exhausted and nearly every night guess what...I would end up working the dream shift with my asshole boss watching me like a hawk

It is SO itchy between my fingers; I put some antihistamine cream on it which relieved the itching for all of five minutes but it's itching again!
And now my ankle is flaring up. Wtf?

Had a bag of Monster Munch Flamin' Hot just there and they're not hot. Not even a bit.

Went to a Thai place I haven't tried before for some takeaway earlier. My dish was two chillies on the menu and yet I felt like my entire face was on fire. In other places I can comfortably eat three chilli dishes.
TA'd at finding my dinner too spicy.....still ate it though

Would the crisps be the problem? I have eczema and if I have even a nibble of chocolate I'm fucked for days.

My TA is that it's 10:45 already, fuck off!!
My TA is that there are so many new (and old) TV shows now that I don't even know where to start. Just when I start into something I find about 15 new shows I want to watch. Why can't someone pay me to watch Netflix every day?
My TA is that I had pilates yesterday morning and I'm still fucked.
My TA is that the dermatitis around my mouth is back.
Eugh Monday tomorrow, just fuck off.

I have a similar-ish tale of woe. Went for a meal out with the OH last night and a combination of having a had a couple of heavy days of drinking at a wedding, and the spiceness of the beef fajitas I plumped for left my tongue feeling as dry as Gandhi's sandal.

Couldn't sleep a wink subsequently as I had a thirst on me unlike anything I have felt before and had to keep drinking water for the whole night out of fear of drying up entirely.

I hate the after-effects of spicy food. It's a vicious circle.

Spicy food is one of my favourite types of food, but I've had moments where the spicy after-effects were difficult to subdue. Gets irritating.

I just heard on the radio that people are giving out that only 2 out of 10 Easter eggs have the word "Easter" on their packaging and people are upset that they're trying to take religious symbolism out of Easter.
Now, I'm not religious by any stretch but I'm pretty sure all the fairytales about Jesus and his gang don't involve scoffing chocolate eggs.

It seems to me that, because nobody is focusing on the religious side of Easter, they're trying to blame something else rather than considering that people just aren't interested in the fairytales anymore.

Snapchat, and people who snap just to send gratuitous snaps of themselves in ridiculous animal ears... Just got a snapchat off a friend saying happy Monday... The only reason that was sent was because the ridiculous mouse ears filter makes her look good!

Queuing for coffee earlier and the guy in front of me decided to let 3 WOMEN GO AHEAD OF HIM, ONE OF THESE WOMEN ORDERED 4 DRINKS so I was waiting bloody ages! 2 fellas had joined the queue behind me during all of this. I tapped the guy on the shoulder and said "eh I have to get back to work, could you please stop letting people go ahead of you" and he said "I was just being polite and courteous" with a really snotty tone. Ah sure don't mind the rest of us then!

Went out for dinner last night and was a glutenous pig. I ate everything, EVERYTHING!!!
Woke up last night because my belly was doing somersaults still trying to digest the feast.
Woke up this morning still trying to digest it, but hungry for breakfast. Never been so confused in my life where I was hungry, it was time to eat but physically impossible to eat.

I AM SO FUCKING STRESSED, I LITERALLY CAN'T PUT INTO WORDS HOW STRESSED I AM, MY HEART IS HAMMERING, MY STOMACH IS LIKE A WASHING MACHINE. But I have to wait until I see my GP on Monday to find out if I'm right to be stressed or just reading some results the wrong way and even then, my GP may want to send me to a specialist before diagnosing me.
I AM SO FUCKING STRESSED!!!

My TA is that I'm afraid to do anything because of the way I have interpreted these results so I'm analysing how much water I'm drinking, enough, too little, too much, how often I'm weeing, enough, too little, too much, everything, enough, too little, too much.

I CAN'T FUCKING WORK IN THIS STATE!!

Back to the GP this morning, she is also as concerned as I am and wants me to have bloods repeated in 3 weeks before confirming everything. OH JEEEEESUS THE STRESS!!! *insert hair pulling emoji here*

Proper etiquette for this situation is that if you let someone go ahead of you in the queue...you're supposed to go to the back of the queue.... don't see it being done too often

I know, the cheeky pup! I'd often let someone go ahead of me but not with a queue of people behind me.

When newspaper stories claim that a source close to x said blah blah blah, and it's extremely obvious that the 'source' is really just the journalist talking out of their hole.

If he's letting people ahead of him, then it should surely be whoever is next in line, otherwise them people are skipping ahead of everyone in the queue.
