| We hear about the bad ones, anyone have a great 1st meet?
Posted: 9/17/2007 12:34:06 PM | I've had many experiences both good and bad! Alas, there have been more bad than good experiences but in my opinion the good experiences outweigh the bad.
A favourite and cherished memory of mine was when I went to meet a girl in Wales.
We spoke to one another for ages but never thought about meeting up or were interested in one another particularly. One day her friend told me that she needed someone and me being the fool that I am jumped at the chance to help. I offered to meet her and when we did, things went exceedingly well. We dated for at least six months and I am reluctant to admit but if I have any regrets my one and only regret is finishing with her. | |

Posted: 9/17/2007 7:23:49 PM | I just came back from a date out tonight and for the first time in a long time I am happy. We had so much in common and were attracted to each other immediately. I must confess I didn't even see a pic of him but took the chance. I believe in spontaneity and figured if there was no attraction - no big deal. Boy, was I surprised and think he was too. All in all it was a great first meet and we are making plans to see each other again this week. To think I was going to give up on this. | |

Posted: 9/17/2007 7:40:59 PM | Yep,I met a really great person on here,and we have seen each other a few times.
We are looking for different things but,I consider her a good friend and I'm pretty sure she feels the same.I would'nt cross the line ,and jeopardize the friendship.
It may not be a love story,but you can never have too many friends. | |

Posted: 9/18/2007 6:56:51 AM | | I think everyone has had some good and bad dates...my best one would probably be with my newf. There was no 'love' chemistry but we are the best of friends now and we are always there for each other. We even give each others opinions on potential mates. So it may not have been head over heels love....but I do love him to bits. He's an amazing friend. | |

Posted: 9/18/2007 3:33:17 PM | oh yes, had a great first date form here. We messaged, it progressed to msn and then the phone. Our first date well, as we wanted to chat, brought a bottle of red and two glasses. Also took a candle. Stopped off for some chips and surprised him with red wine, chips, candle light, on the beach with this massive moon shining on the sea.
It cost nothing but was the best date of my life. | |

Posted: 9/23/2007 6:29:58 AM | Well as stated above, I did have a great date and was happy but on the seond date he chained smoked which he didn't do on the first. As a matter of fact, he didn't smoke at all so I was very surprised when he did and I just had to tell him I couldn't see him anymore. My health comes first. Sigh!!!! Some things are too good to be true. | |

Posted: 9/25/2007 10:35:17 AM | I had a great first date experience. We had chatted for a couple of weeks through POF emails. He was sooo sweet in the emails. Everyday, I looked forward to getting his emails. He always asked lots of questions, and payed attention to everything I said. i was very standoffish to him, because he is 5 1/2 years younger than me. He has no kids, and I have 3. So when he messaged me one day, and said, I have the day off "wanna meet for lunch?" I was very nervous. But I did it. I went in to this date with the mind set that, we'll have lunch but never be together cause of our differences. At least I will make a friend out of it. So I went to lunch, and saw him.....mmmmm yummy. He was a little shorter than I expected and little. So at this point, I was like....It's deffinatly not gonna work. We had lunch, and found out that we actually grew up in the same town and went to the same high school. We had a great lunch, and when we left.....it was just a good bye. No kiss....No hug......just an "i'll call you"
Later that day, I sent him a text messages asking him what he thought. He was sooo sweet, and told me that I was beautiful and he wanted to see me again. We went out the next night. We walked by the water front....and talked. he never once tried anything with me. No kissing. So...we left and went back to his house (where I dropped him off). While sitting in the car talking....he leaned over and kissed me......HOLY MOLY! Did the sparks fly then. Ever since then....we have seen each other everyday for the last (almost 4 months). We are madley in love....and things couldn't be more perfect!!!! | |

Posted: 9/25/2007 11:49:30 AM | My partner and I had a memorable first meeting. We connected through this site.
He later told me that he knew, that first night, that I was the The One. I looked at him, and this thought went through my head: "It's him"----the man for whom I'd been searching.
We had a drink, talked, and danced. He walked me to my car, and gave me a hug goodnight. The next day, he admitted that he was so thrown by the effect of that hug that he stepped out on to the street without looking, and almost got hit by a cab.
We did kiss goodnight on our second date, and fortunately there was no oncoming traffic to endanger us.
That first meeting occurred on September 29th 2006. This Saturday will be the first anniversary of our meeting.
Happy Anniversary, sweetheart.  | |

Posted: 9/25/2007 9:12:32 PM | Here is an actual first date I went on that I enjoyed, so I posted it on the POF site.
Tell me what you think.
A great first date:
We meet for lunch in a small lakeside town neither of us had ever been. I get there early and find a restaurant. When you arrived we park my motorcycle and I drive us to the restaurant in your vehicle. After sharing lunch we drive your vehicle around the lake and talk for a couple of hours looking at the lake houses, telling each other what kind of designs we like. About 2:00 we board a paddlewheel boat for a tour of the lake. We sit on the upper deck of the boat, hand in hand, and watch the scenery go by. The sun shine glows off your skin, the gentle breeze blows the hair from your face, I gently cradle your head in my hands and our lips touch softly for the first time. We both sit back, breath deeply, and smile at the day we have been given to share. After the boat docks we get on my bike and ride to another part of the lake. We find an out of the way dock by the water. There on the water’s edge we sped the rest of the afternoon sitting in the summer sun in each other's arms until the shadows grow long and we knew that our day is just about over. As we ride back to your vehicle, and the warm air blows the sweat from our bodies, you alternate running your fingers playfully through my hair and wrapping your arms tightly around me. We arrive all too soon back at your vehicle, our time together over . . . . . or perhaps just beginning. | |

Posted: 9/26/2007 11:54:28 AM | I met a guy at a POF get-together in July 2005. We hit it off great, went for lunch the next afternoon, went out that same evening. Just a great time and great guy all-around. Constant laughter.
We were married April 13,2007. And we still make each other laugh every day.

Posted: 9/27/2007 10:12:06 PM | Absolutely! I had contacted a man on this site last June, and he replied back, seemingly interested. We emailed back and for for a couple of weeks, then all of a sudden he fell off the face of the earth. We hadn't moved to phone calls yet, and all I had was his first name, so I couldn't call him to make sure he was alright.
Towards the end of July, he finally logs back in to PoF, and apologized profusely to me in an email. Turns out he had been flooded out by some bad batches of rain that came through town, and he had spent the past month cleaning everything up. I offered to cook dinner for him after all he had gone through (I know, I know).
We really clicked, and the dinner went great! What started out to be just a few hours ended up being more like 8 or 9, and those hours just flew by. We agreed to meet the next weekend, but I ended up getting a bad staph infection. He insisted on coming over to take care of me that weekend and nurse me back to health...what a second date that one was!
Needless to say, things are awesome! | |

Posted: 9/28/2007 4:57:24 AM | Actually, when I met my girfriend (another POF'er) I really wasn't sure what the date would be like. The e-mails and phone conversations were great, but the day was a disaster. It was a horrific day at work, snowy and icy on the road, traffic sucked...just not fun. Then she walked into the restaurant 20 minutes late.
I looked into her eyes for the first time, saw that smile and thought "Dayumm"! We ate and talked for two hours. I had a great time and was thinking " I could get used to this", and was definitely planning to ask for a second date. Then she picked up the menu and read to me from the desert list in what I call her "1-900 voice". Game over! | |

Posted: 9/28/2007 5:18:38 AM | I too have good news to post! I think it's long over do! I've met a kind gentleman from this site. We've emailed, texted, talked on the phone, IM'ed, woke each other up, tucked each other in, exchanged pictures with our phones, we've been sharing everything with each other over the past few months! Everything except any physical touch that is. That's right..we have'nt met! It's been breath taking for me to say the least. And vise versa.
What's the problem? He's only a few hours away. Our work schedules conflict. He's a busy 6 day a work week man. Me...well I work crazy hours as well. But, I know we could work something out. It's just tooooo Awesome of a relationship to NOT want to work something out! I'm game for any advise. Should I move on or drop a sutle blunt hint? Chit or get off the pot man! Thanks for all the great postings! MoDeenak out! | |

Posted: 9/28/2007 12:05:55 PM | Although I won't rat him out, my SO posted here about our first meeting. I gotta say, it wasn't "THIS IS IT" the first time - but it was definitely "WOW- HE'S AWESOME." After our second date, I stopped talking to everyone else - so, does a great 2nd meet count?
And because you know who you are, Sweetie - here's to you: | |

Posted: 9/28/2007 2:18:47 PM | The 'first dates' I've had come from this site have gotten progessively better since I joined earlier this year.
I must hand it to the women who thoroughly interrogate us before meeting, at first this kind of annoyed me but I'm starting to realize it goes along way towards compatibility.
So now I expect the interrogation, and when a woman doesn't have 1000 questions for me prior to meeting I tend to think something is up. | |

Posted: 9/28/2007 2:34:36 PM | Yes!!! I met an incredible man who is everything to me. You have to learn to just be kind and reply to those that don't interest you, but when you find the right one go for it. You miss every shot you don't take...
Aside from him, I've met some good friends, and people I really enjoy talking to. The creepy married guys that are looking for an intimate encounter are not worth a second look...like a woman would want to be with such a loser! Attitude is everything. | |

Posted: 9/28/2007 6:47:34 PM | I've met one woman from POF that it turned out pretty well, we met up half way and went to the mall to just walk around and see what was there, went to the huge arcade, ate some dinner and had a funny end to it when I forgot to shut my lights off of my car and took over an hour to get a jump from someone who had jumper cables lol, keep in mind this was during the winter during a huge snow storm folks  . Anyway we met a few times after that but not much else came from it.
I was talking with someone else here from POF a long time ago but i'm afraid I don't remember whom she is lol. But anyway I really haven't gotten any messages from any women here in a long time, i've only had two since I came here *shrugs* i've always had bad luck in that department i'm afraid. I've givin quite a few messages here and there every so often but only ever once gotten a response back lol. I'm sure that i'll meet a wonderful woman one day weather in person or from this site, who knows there could be a little fishy here somewhere just waiting to swim up to me :). | |

Posted: 9/30/2007 12:59:05 PM | | I met a really awesome guy on plf we hit it off from the very start there was a distance issue but we talked every day for hours I knew before we met him it was rite . When we met omg the chemistry we had was not like any I had ever felt before he was sooooooooo good looking and sweet opened door for me very polite and respectable. Time flew by I could stop thinking about him. I could not wait till I got to see him again. The second date was just as great .Sorry to say we decided to be just friend I scared him. He wasn’t ready to be in a committed relationship. a great guy someone I could have spent some serous time with. Good catch if he could have been caught | |
