^^^ ok I met a guy who I want to get to know more about and maybe even start a relationship with...are you saying that I should stop messaging people? I am not still looking to meet people just chat is there anything wrong with that?


Nothing wrong with that..it'd be wrong if you kept messaging people for dates , while dating him and not telling him or the other people.

Nope. Keep options open. Messages don't tell you everything about chemistry. I wonder how many people stop communicating with new people to focus on someone they have started to chat with and it doesn't turn out to be the match they expected. It's easy to begin hopeful thinking as to what you expect them to be like, only to find out that they fall short. You just can't guarantee chemistry. And you might have missed out on somebody more suitable.

you are a 'POF Player' if your purpose of being on POF is to meet as many chicks as you can so that you can ding as many chicks as you can...and vice versa for the ladies...I refer to the 'ladies' of this nature as 'Internet Dirties' and try to avoid them at all costs, they're pretty easy to spot -- some guys probably look for Internet Dirties so that they can up their number/frequency of 'dings'...it's all personal preference really

however if you are meeting/dating multiple ladies off of POF...then I personally don't see anything wrong with that...if you start getting into date # ..oh let's say 3..then maybe i'd 'hide profile' for a bit...

Rosie, just be upfront that you still like chatting on the forums and have some friends that you want to chat with. That you're not looking for anyone new guys to date online, till you see where things go. How's that?

Generally speaking if you need others to justify if your behaviour is right or wrong, then it's usually wrong!

I was not asking for justification for my behaviour...I don't feel as tho I am doing anything wrong...everyone I chat with is full awair of my situation at the moment so it is up to them if they want top continue chatting with me.

I don't think there is anything wrong at all with talking to different people at the same time. You are just in the talking stage, getting to know people and "gathering information" stage.
The only part I would have fault with, is if a person was dating one person, [like as Rooster had pointed out, perhaps 3 or 4 dates with one person,] then I think it would be wrong to be on here messaging other people regarding relationships or dating.
I mean, every situation is different......but from my own perspective, if I was into the third or forth date with a guy, and they were still messaging other ladies for dates, or "getting to know them" I would think that they are not all that into me. To further that, if we had been dating for weeks, and they still had their status as single, and still checking their mail everyday, I would say "see ya".

You are trying to find a possible mate or friend. It is OK to talk to different 'fishies'. It's the people that are on here who have promised a relationship or marriage or even married that are the ones that I am worried about. I don't want to talk to someone and get 'hooked' only to find out that his g/f, fiancee, or wife doesn't or wouldn't approve of our friendship.

You guys have a lot of dating rules, don't you?

And you're not very clear about your expectations either.

Me, I try to keep it simple and I disclose all my pre-conditions in my profile.

It's like the back of a ski-lift ticket; if you read it, you understand and agree that Romance is an inherently dangerous sport before you start sliding merrily down the daisy path together.

Cast a wide net , and keep on fishing until you get a keeper. Most likely both fishers have more than one line in the water.

From Mission Impossible II:

Ethan: She's got no training for this.
Swanbeck: To sleep with a man and lie to him? She's a woman. She's got all the training she needs.


Sean: You know women, mate. Like monkeys, they are -- won't let go of one branch until they've got hold of the next.

Branches....branches....I vaguely remember something about them...--they're covered in bark and leak sap, right?

I think if you are still on this site you can still message as many different people as you like.
Obviously you are a free agent, and can talk to whomever you want.
