Posted: 11/16/2005 3:37:43 PM | | K I met this girl on here and chatted on msn for ahwile...then I told her I would go out to Hamilton to meet her at this gay club (The Embassy)....so she gave me her cell # to call when IM almost there..Im outside the city 10 min and I call her cell..and she never answers...I then get to the club and keep calling her..she never answers...I gave her my cell # to call me in case she was to run late..she never calls..I keep my phone on..and wait..and wait..unti its 1 am then I left her a message saying I was there...I was disapointed...and angry..so I went back to Toronto..and hit another party that ended at 6 am..and went home after to bed...she didnt come back online till a week later..she said she didnt even remember having to meet me..and it was her in the beginning who messaged me on here saying she interested in me and such. Needless to say I took her off my msn list and never spoke to her again. I hate it when people stand up for ya. I went out of my way all the way from Toronto to Hamilton to meet a girl and get stood up:(..Im glad I dont have to go thru all that again as I got an amazing gf:) So happy ending but still was annoying to go thru that. OH ya and LonelyAngel...I know how u feel...my gf is in the American Air Force and will be in Texas..she will be MILES from me as Im in Toronto Canada..but IM still with her...some good old fashioned writing works well:) *hugs* | |

Posted: 11/17/2005 2:54:08 AM | you got lucky!!!!!!!!!!!! ok man listen to this horror story...
After my divorce 2 years ago I was ready I felt to date again but hate going to the bar so I went to yahoo personals...big mistake.Short version of this nightmare... I met a model from Manila ( Philippines ) in a chat room about scuba diving and we hit it off like peas and carrots. After 6 months of webcam chat ( Like 6 hours a day everyday ) I fell in love and took the biggest chance a man can take on a girl...I moved to the other side of the world and dropped everything for this love!!!!! (DUHHHHH!!!!!!!!) I find out after being in Asia with this girl for almost 2 years shes not only cheating on me with her ex JAPANESE MAFIA husband but I find out from reading her cell phone texts from him that they are planning to kill me when Im of no more use to them!!!! I was devasted,scared,lost, and heartbroken.Im also tough as hell (divorce does this to you) so I got the hell outta there ( thats the easy way to say how it ended). I feel your pain bro and to ALL of you SCREEN YOUR CONTACTS VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY CARFULLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted: 11/17/2005 3:47:28 AM | | I guess everyone has good and bad experiences on dating sites. I too met and fell in love with a guy I met on a dating site. Things seemed great, we planned on moving in together after a few months of dating. Mind you that never happened, after looking for houses and him coming up with every excuse in the world to why we shouldn't get this house, I finally figured him out, he was not interested in moving in with me at all. Then I found out that this is his game plan, and he has done this to a few women. I'm assuming his only goal in life is too see how many women he can have as trophy's. Not only did i find this all out, I found out he is a big time cheater and slept with 5 different people while he was with me, unprotected. So just a warning too all you ladies on POF, he is back on here looking for his next victim, so be very careful. I would love to give you the details of his profile so if you would like to contact me please feel free to email me. | |

Posted: 12/15/2005 10:44:57 AM | I have been on this site for over a month now. A friend of mine directed to me it, she's been on here for awhile.
Within the first couple of days, this guy contacts me. We chat on Yahoo together for a bit. We seem to be hitting it off online so decide we are going to meet. Well the day arrives, and as the time is approaching I decide to come online, see if he's there, just to reconfirm our plans and to also kill some time. He's not online but I decide to send an offline message to hime anyway. Well he is a no show. When I finally do get in touch with him, it seems, at least this is what he said, was he got the flu and had been hugging the toilet. So knowing it's flu season, I give him the benefit of the doubt.
So we set up meeting for our #2 try to get together. The day before we are too meet, he says that he got his days mixed up. He says he volunteers for a local hockey team and the night we made plans for his team supposedly had a game. Now being the open minded person I am, and knowing I've gotten my days mixed up too, I give him the benefit of the doubt again.
So get together #1 is rescheulded for a third time a couple of days later. Through all of this though I have to say I was really enjoying our chats. We seemed to have a lot in common. I am feeling pretty comfortable with things, so I had suggested that seeing as he had to come by my place anyway to get to where we were to meet, would he just like to pick me up. He agreed to this. Now I know it may have been foolish to do that, but lo and behold, he never showed up. He stood me up. When I tried to contact him, he deleted the email I sent through POF without even reading it. I then sent him an offline message on Yahoo telling me I didn't appreciate what he did and not to contact me again.
I have just decided in the last while to get back in to the dating scene, and this guy is my first real introduction to the new millenium dating world.
I would like to continue to keep an open mind about all this but he has been the first of a couple, (one guy has long term on his profile, but only wanted to meet at my home for sex), of guys that seem to fit the jerk category.
And then there are the ones that you take the time to read their profile, see that you have things in common, send off an email to them, only to find that it has been deleted without being read or they did read it, didn't respond and deleted it.
If someone takes the time to read my profile and send me a note, I respond back. I think that is the decent thing to do.
What is going on with people today? | |

Posted: 12/18/2005 4:58:31 PM | I have read the stories that people have wrote on here,and all i can say is that they are totally shocking!!! What gives people the right to play with someones feelings like this when all they want is to love some one and to be loved back with no hidden agendas where the relationship that was built online to be transferred into real life.
Well ive only been on POF for about 2 weeks now so i havent had the opportunity to meet anyone off here yet but i hope these stories are very rare and not everyone is like this! | |

Posted: 12/28/2005 12:56:50 PM | robster, the games that are being played are not fun. Yes I agree, we are all looking for someone to love and love us back. Maybe it's that people can be more bold and somewhat disgusting in their conversations when online, it's more anonymous.
My profile reads as to who I think I am as a person, and what I want in life.
When I read a profile, and respond to it, it's cause there was something that struck me in the writing or we have similar interests.
I have sent out many short emails of introduction in my less than 2 months here. The most that it has brought me is some guys pretty much only wanting to chat dirty to you online and get you to tell them what you like and what they want to do to you sexually.
I did meet this one guy for a hot beverage, we were chatting on MSN. After our encounter, he didn't chat with me, nor did he respond to me. I was able to check and found he had blocked me from contacting him on MSN. He didn't even have the descency to say he was not interested.
Where in this world has common descency and manners gone??
Those guys that have taken the time to send me a note, I have responded back to all. I cannot say the same for the guys I have sent a message too. Some have even been deleted without being read. | |

Posted: 1/1/2006 7:42:33 AM | well my experience isn't exactly from here, but its from the net.
I chatted for about 3-4 months and i asked if she wanted to meet and she said sure, we had even chatted on the phones a couple of times and we set up a meeting at a train station, she was passing by on her way home from work and she never turned up, i waited possibly 2-3 hours and when i next saw her online, she said she overslept and couldn't make it.
I don't mind if she overslept, but it upset me that she didn't even phone my home to say so, my parents would have answered and told me when i got home, but nothing at all, but after that chat, i never heard from her again...pity we had so much in common too.
when it comes to this place, i don't even get replies, when i do, they mysteriously stop talking and give no reason why....but hey, perhaps i am just the talk to and ignore type of guy eh? | |

Posted: 1/7/2006 11:30:35 PM | One of my first POF dates (aside from coffees), was a real disaster! This guy messaged me, because he saw in my profile that I like dancing. I had free VIP passes for the Caprice, so we met there. Long story short, we had a terrific time, until I had to leave at 12, to catch the Skytrain. He offered to walk me to Burrard station, as he lived on Burrard street.
He asks me up for a quick drink, assures me that he won't try anything. (And yes, I realize that I was an diiot, to believe that!) He attacks me & I encouraged his neighbour to call the cop, by hruling a vase, against the wall. Luckily, all I got out of that situation, was a black eye.
All I can say, there are some real turkeys out there, of both genders & it has nothing to do with the internet. Don't lose hope though, I met my sweetie here and I am a big believer that there is someone out there for everyone. | |

First guy I start talking to...I come to find out he's also making the moves on my cousin *who is also using this site* I was shocked.
Second guy I had some interest in...Stood me up LAST NIGHT!
Third guy I have talked with...won't meet me in public because he doesn't want his wife finding out.
OMG.
What is wrong with ME? :( | |

Posted: 2/26/2006 3:51:54 PM | | OMG#1 was a dissapointment to the nth power! I took her to my new brother-in-laws party. It was a party for all the Paramount work-mates and co. I brought my guitar and lots of mix stufffff fer****ails. It turned out my sister and others knew her when she was a child. we grew up in the same neighbourhood! so far so good. she relaxed, mingled with the friends there. she finally got drunk and went for a walk with my work-mate then never came to say good-bye when she drove off mad. I tried to check on her from time to time and hoped she was having a good time and felt comfortable. She had said she's fine and having fun. I just didn't know where she was half the time and in the end she drove drunk home. After something happened between this higher up work-mate. super! she could have sat with me 'round the fire and enjoyed her date with me instead of playing the feild on our date! pfui! | |
