Posted: 10/7/2009 5:18:11 AM | Well, there was one guy who turned out to be a complete headcase lol.Then there was a guy i dated for 6 months who walked once he,d dumped all his emotional baggage on me.Then there was one who just treated me like shit and then you get the guys who ask you for a date and then ignore you when you say yes so now i,d rather sit and watch paint dry! | |

So this guy was really nice, ticked all but one of your boxes, and the lack of a tick in that one box made you think you would rather be alone?
Yes.. weird huh!
I am actually very happy on my own and love the independance so until I meet somebody special (remember that buzz of chemistry) I am quite happy giving my children 110% of me. | |

Posted: 10/7/2009 6:50:23 AM | I've had lots of dates in the last couple of years, met some lovely people and made a couple of very firm friends.
Met a few people who I've not connected with at all and one who was hands everywhere which was the worst of dates.
Every date has been different.
The last one was probably the best of all dates and has led to about 10 dates since - happy days 
funnily enough previous dates weren't a topic of discussion on the date nor since. | |

Posted: 10/11/2009 3:20:50 PM | Good luck Hope, I hope it continues well... Like you, I've had lots of dates over the year I've been doing this online, and have really enjoyed myself. One guy I got quite seriously involved with, but there was too much very current baggage (in shape of separated wife with MS) and it fizzled out. But of the 15 or so first dates, four or five went on to another month or two, and three of them are now good friends. I've been introduced to ceroc dancing, Montigny wine, some lovely country walks, reiki, some good detective fiction, a new poet or two and several new bands and composers. It's all been pretty good.
One or two disappointments - men much older than their photos, or shorter than stated. Also, the amount of baggage is often the real killer. But no one's behaved badly, or stood me up or anything. I'm hopeful I'll find someone for the long term eventually, and I'm really enjoying the search. | |

Posted: 10/11/2009 3:31:37 PM | | Hmmm not exactly sure where I have gone wrong then I've never met a single man who wanted to walk with me, ceroc dance with me, share wine with me, do reiki?, or even see a band with me in fact the more I think about it the only thing any of them have ever wanted was to show me their etchings! I wouldnt mind the dateing game if I got to do some of those things you list but etchings just bore me to death! | |

Posted: 10/11/2009 4:03:56 PM | my last relationship was with someone i had met off here, we last 8 months i knew i should have drowned the **stard. He was shagging his way through pof, gave me an std from one of the dirty slappers, got another pregnant off here and two weeks ago had the audacity to ask me if i was prepared to give it another go. Then got harrased by his new live in girlfriend wanting to know what i was doing with her bf. But as Cilla would say surprise surprise the twat is still on pof as being single and looking for a long term relationship.
And men wonder why I have no inclination to date... hmmmmmm now let me see. | |

Posted: 10/11/2009 4:32:35 PM | | I can only use the word "date" as opposed to "dates" as I only met one person off here about 6 months ago lol. We met up, she smelt of booze (surely am not that bad? lmao), we spent a few hours together, I went home and we never contacted each other again lol | |

sorry to hear about the STD.
Was the guy as hot as fuc£ when you first noticed him on POF which is i guess why loads of other women have fallen for his " charm ".....and why you did !!!!
i find it hard enough to attract just one woman on here never mind meet loads and bed them all.
I would imagine all these other women fell for him in exactly the same way as you did.
If women didnt throw themselves at these guys then POF would be a much better place for all us decent guys. | |

Posted: 10/11/2009 11:32:52 PM | You know what bushcutter, he wasnt i never go on looks i go on sense of humour and after our first date we just clicked. My friends gave him the nickname "Barry Evans" as in from Eastenders. And he wasnt slim or athletic either, you will find that you do not have to be an adonis to be a womaniser as long as you have that certain "IT" quality women will flock.
I guess it has made me apprehensive to date and to trust again, we broke up 2 days before xmas and two weeks before moving in together. My mistake! I do not know what to do I want to date but then i do not want to date and it does not help that i have an unflushable who had my previous profile banned all because i did not want to go on a date and he knew my reasons why but he kept on pushing pushing and pushing and then he got mean. | |

Posted: 10/12/2009 1:06:17 AM | Alexis,
I wonder if there is a way to have his profile deleted or his status altered by the Mods?
I'm not usually in favour of such interference, but when it comes to someone who habitually behaves in a way that not only emotionally hurts but physically endangers others, perhaps it's warranted.
---------------------------------------------------
I've been on POF on and off for a while now, and I've met some lovely people, many of whom it would have been nice to stay friends with if they had been interested to.
I've had a couple of bad ones too,the deceitful liars, the octopus, they socially inept one who I felt guilty about being embarrassed to be seen with, the one whose breath made me feel quite ill... and yet even those dates all had something a bit redeeming about them and I do feel like I've learnt to read people between the lines a little better through bad and good dates at POF. I also think that thinking about experiences on POF gives you a better understanding of yourself.
I've been going through a spell of meets that made me question if it was just the wrong way to meet people...I liked them but didn't fancy them, wouldn't have minded being friends, but when you've met this way it rarely happens. As there's been so many where I couldn't really say what was wrong with them I was starting to think it was just the pressure of a meet that was putting me in the wrong frame of mind or something. However, I think someone might just be changing my mind on that.  | |

Posted: 10/12/2009 5:26:30 AM | Ihave to admit that I do not look at men in the same way anymore, dating is no longer an option for me as I question everything. And you are right Sam wondering whether pof is the right way to meet someone is something i have been asking. You tend to go on dates with men you would never consider face to face.
I am not ****ing or blaming anyone except myself and i guess as they say time is a great healer. As for dating, yes i miss it and would love to start again but lately when it comes to it have no inclination to do so. | |

Posted: 10/12/2009 8:05:45 AM | Certainly reading the last few posts here. I’m definetly not there yet. Not met many at all, just a couple. They were nice people but it comes down to, is it me, is it them…something just wasn’t there but they were not disasterous dates!
But I have said this before and see it posted by others, this is a dating site but I don’t know if this is the right place for meeting people. The experiences/opinions of many seem to have the whole site crawling with undesirables who are getting dates and then revealing a seriously flawed character (male or female). I’m just glad sometimes the forums come up trumps! | |

If you want it to happen ask him. Make it happen. At least if it doesnt you wont waste anymore time thinking you "might". Altho the cynic in me thinks if he hasnt asked you out again already he probebly doesnt want more than to chat to you on line. | |

Posted: 10/12/2009 3:45:34 PM | A complete total and utter waste of time and effort sums it up.
However I cannot understand why some guys on this thread are moaning about the girl's weight...
Is the fact that a woman can lose weight too difficult a concept for you to grasp.
Besides she'd probably be better off with me, much better than constantly being called a lardarse and being made to feel less than worthy for no good reason...
anyone who picks holes for no good reason like that is not worth dating anyway.

Posted: 10/25/2009 6:20:54 AM | Dates what dates! ok so i've had one and I know i'm fussy as i had 132 emails in one week and started talking to maybe 3 of the guys.
However is anyone else bored of actually spending most of their time in front of a computer chatting and the guys (or girls) not 'actually' wanting to take it past that point.
I'm starting to think my responses should just be 'do you want to meet up' but feel that is too forward? My job and freelance work tends to involve being in front of a screen for long periods of time. So i'm getting a bit bored of then adding dating to the equation. Surely dating is meeting someone and having fun, enjoying each others company and actually being there???
Or should i just jack it in? | |
