| How did your first time meeting up w/ someone from POF go?
Posted: 5/18/2008 8:31:02 PM | | I must say that all the guys I have met on here have been nice enough but except for 2 of them there just wasnt enough of a connection to want to see them a second time. Out of the 2 I actually felt a connection with, the first one just didnt have time to date and thats a deal breaker for me and the 2nd one is someone I plan on seeing again and looks very promising. | |

Posted: 5/18/2008 8:42:23 PM | My first meeting was awesome, over 900 miles away.
We e-mailed then talked on the phone sometimes several times a day. he was from Manitoba and I Alberta. His first e-mail was short but said a lot, enough to get my attention. Some may think I'm crazy , but thats ok, I know I wasn't,but I went all the way to Yorkton Sask, he picked me up at about midnight, drove about 2.5 hrs to his place. I waited 8 months to meet him
I had a lot of faith and I do believe in fate and destiny, I got to know him really well through our conversations. I was to meet him half way several times but I wasn't quite ready so he told me next time I had to go all the way.This was something I felt I had to do rather it worked out or not. Have you ever met someone on here you felt you just had to meet rather you would end up together or not? My first and only time.
He was everything he said he was, and I knew in my heart he was or I wouldn't have went. I went with my gut instinct and it proved me right.
Was I nervous, not one little bit, I said a lot of prayers and knew I was being watched over.
A busy farmer rancher. who wasn't ready to sell and relocate yet. A few months later he drove here to spend the weekend. We had a connection right from the start. Had a fun weekend, he was so impressed with our city.
If it hadn't have been the distance we would have been to gether today.
We still keep in touch although he was married last July.
Now if all the men were like him, no games. plain, honesty and a heart of gold.
A plain man like me, not needing material things to make you happy but to enjoy being together.
We ended on good terms and both moved on, but send e-mails and cards and I always include his wife. | |

Posted: 5/18/2008 9:02:01 PM | I don't want to talk about the first meeting with a POF guy. It was a meeting where I was pressured and I felt coerced after just chatting twice. ;) Ok I will talk about my very first meeting with an online friend after three months. Not from POF but from another site. Why it took that long? We are both very busy people and since he was going to be the very first online friend I agreed to meet, I had to be very cautious. He is the only online friend I have ever dated. And we still do. He is single and oh so ready to settle down.
He picked me up at a subway station near the restaurant where I had a dinner assignment. I was surprised because he actually looked better than his photo. And funny that he also said the same thing about me. I was not nervous at all and I felt I was just meeting a long lost friend. We had a wonderful dinner. Immediately we felt that the connection online extended to real life. We got to know each other and the restaurant picked up the tab, of course, for our steak dinner. I was fascinated by the way he ate. I took note that he was indeed a personal trainer by the way he chose what to eat from the menu. It was a cold night and we both forgot our gloves in the car so my left hand was in his right pocket on the way to the car.
I am not ready for a commitment and he is. That's the impasse... | |

Posted: 5/18/2008 9:18:51 PM | Most of my dates with POF woman have gone great, "Except one"...This lady and I, E mailed each for a couple of weeks, "okay"...Well, then the big meeting...Her profile said (average)...I dont expect perfection by any means ok but this woman was HUGE...Im 6'3 and weight about 215,"she was maybe 5'10" and outweighed me, "by a bunch"...Im thinkin, "Ill make a nice friend here, nothing else"...I was cordial , acted like a gentleman but was not interested...She starts sluggin down cranberry vodkas ,"This lady is out of control"...Starts becoming verbally abusive, smacking me in the shoulder etc...
I should have jetted for the door immediately but Im a friendly guy..I paid for dinner and all the drinks and was jus having a good time being social, "This lady turned into drunkin maniac"...She was trying to be all touchy feelie and I wasnt much interested...
Anyhow the night ended with the two of us heading out of the bar together, so while she was headed to the exit door I ran for my life to another door...I was so disgusted, I wasted a nite with a drunkin, louse...
Lookin back it was a bit comical...
Oh, yeah a few of my friends were at the same bar and would not even approach me because they were afraid of this big ole drunk brawlin broad...This is some funny stuff...Oh, well another goofy experience to laugh about...
(Excuse the ...broad..definition ...(but it fit)  | |

To me I feel there are more players on POF.

Posted: 5/18/2008 9:58:23 PM | | As I'd been told in the past by this individual that my profile posts are monitored so that she can "see what I'm up to and how I'm doing", I suspect that this will be picked up as well. I have only met one person off of this site: Not the epitome of beauty, but was a beautiful person. We carried on well via email and telephone and ultimately decided that we'd meet after just a short while -- I was new here and pretty excited to have connected with someone who seemed different than the girls I meet out and about. I spotted a few red flags from the meeting and subsequent telephone calls, but decided to be a bit more positive and gave her the benefit of the doubt. Probably a mistake --she's a darling but on a completely different page, which happens, and so we don't speak but I wouldn't pass her in the street without taking a moment to speak and catch up. I do admit that it was a wakeup call -- at the same time it was a good example of how two people can be civil and realize that it just isn't popping. | |

Posted: 6/11/2008 2:31:56 PM | | I'd say the first meet up with the last guy from POF went well. We contacted me on IM on Friday evening, I gave him my phone number (shocking, right?) and we talked on the phone and agreed to meet the next afternoon. Met at McDonald's next to a truck stop for coffee and talked for two hours. We hugged each other when we parted (with plans to meet again) and there was definately something different! I guess it's that "chemistry" thing. We will be getting married right about a year from the time we first met. I've never been happier! | |

Posted: 6/11/2008 2:47:56 PM | It went really well. We're still friends from POF. We see each other once every week or two.
As for getting nervious, I stopped getting nervious years ago. The only time I got nervious is when i saw an ex for the first time in 9 years. After the first meeting, those nerves went bye bye too.
Women always talk about the butterfly feeling. I don't get butterflies. | |

Posted: 6/11/2008 2:48:00 PM | Two were ridiculously awesome (thanks in great part to their up-front honesty).
Several had me watching the clock, the ceiling, my fingernails...anything to escape the boredom/silence/dislike/false looks.
A couple actually disgusted me with their behavior. | |

Posted: 6/11/2008 2:52:30 PM | My first meeting went very well and still is. We are having date #4 this weekend.
BUT I was on a different site and met individuals that I wish I hadn't!
This date was nice though. YES I was nervous! BUT that is life. I just reccomend chatting for a bit before you meet. Do IM and then phone just to see how that goes....helps ease the first date jitters and it will give you something to talk about if you have gotten to know the person a bit before hand...good luck!  | |

Posted: 6/11/2008 2:59:35 PM | Not on this site, but the first, we went to one of those PanAsian restaurants and had Asian Tapas. We talked for a long time, then went to my place and had some wine there. This ended in a one night stand.
The last date, we went to a different Tapas bar with a life Salsa band. Half way through our date, she kissed me and sat on my lap, we kissed some more in the parking lot. Then she got lost getting out of the area so she called me. While I told her how to get out of the are, I invited her for dinner the following night. We are to this day still together. We went back to that place to celebrate a year together. | |

Posted: 6/11/2008 3:00:47 PM | | Having gone on I won't venture to say how many meetings, I no longer call the first one a date, the one certain thing that will happen is they will not look like their picture, nor will you to them. I try to make it happen sooner than later, yes you will get lulled in on the phone and emails but everything pales to the actual meeting. As perceptive as we are, none of can test for the all-important chemistry until we meet. Advice: Go for the one on one sooner than later. | |

Posted: 6/11/2008 5:26:11 PM | My first meeting didn't happen. The guy stood me up! Actually 2 out of the 4 dates I agreed to so far stood me up. Given that every other one stands me up, so will the next one, #5. So I'm thinking about skipping #5 and go directly to #6. Please advise. This is getting ugly...

Posted: 6/12/2008 5:35:41 AM | | Time 4 2 you have the most expressive profile I've read, WOW! So I try to send you a mail saying so and bypass this forum and it pops up not accepting mail from my gender? HUH? So when are men that stand you up not men? When they're woman, you're odd girl, good luck | |

Posted: 6/12/2008 11:43:58 AM | Hi maculon,
I noticed something about Time 4 2's profile that might have prevented you from contacting her. One of her requirements for contacting her is that you need to be between the ages of 48-84. You're 47 according to your profile. Maybe that was the problem??? Tried to email you directly, but your mail settings restricted me from contacting you.
Hope this helps. Best of luck to you! | |

Posted: 6/12/2008 11:57:08 AM | When I was using this site for dating, I can't say I ever had ONE bad date - and I think the women involved would agree.
They were all attractive, intelligent, and had portrayed themselves truthfully in their profiles. | |

Posted: 6/12/2008 12:06:41 PM | First guy I met from here was interesting. He didn't really seem like my "type", but sometimes you've gotta step outside your comfort zone. Results can be surprising. Any who, exchanged emails, IM's, chatted on phone, decided to meet. Hit it off, dated exclusively from Aug. '07 till a few months ago. He decided to end it, gave reasons that I found "interesting". Hey, chalked it up to experience, lessons learned, moved on.
Met a guy on another dating site that responded to my ad. Exchanged emails, chatted for almost 3 hrs via IM without even realizing it! Met in person, clicked instantly. Have been on 3 dates, so far so good. Will keep ya posted! | |
