| POF people in public Posted: 7/6/2009 3:04:45 PM | | I have come to realize that i see POF people in my area all the time lol. And its always in a country bar and they will send me a message that night when they get home and the whole time ill be thinking "hmm that guy looks like a guy of pof" but im thinking i dont wanna go up to him and be like "uh hey do you get on Pof?" and he will look at me like wtf is that??? But it seems like they dont contact me untill i get home and say "hey i saw you here " But they never seem to say anything in "REAL" life. And ive had one guy say i am very "intimidating" and they dont approach me ? has anyone else had anything like this happen to them? | |

| POF people in public Posted: 7/6/2009 4:34:38 PM | For most of us, approaching a woman is a learned trait. It really takes a lot of balls. These men are too insecure to approach you in public. You can thank rude ass women who treat well intentioned guys like crap for fostering the "scared to approach women" trait every time there's a guy you see out who you wish would talk to you, but doesn't. It's really not a treat to suck it up and risk dealing with the bullcrap of approaching a woman you've never talked to.
It does get way easier over time though, but it is kind of is to the advantage of men once they get over the fear as they can go out and GET the women they want rather than acting like women and passively hoping the good men come to them.
I don't think most women understand this. | |

| POF people in public Posted: 7/6/2009 5:43:48 PM | Yeah, I've had this happen to me quite a few times. Most of the time they approach and say hi but sometimes you just don't want them to. I figure it's about etiquette. Just because someone is on the same dating site as I am doesn't necessarily mean that they are someone I want to associate with IRL.
If I'm feeling warm toward a guy and he happens to see me, I usually give him eye contact and give him the signal that it's okay to approach. Otherwise, I may just not feel comfortable having someone tagging along all night because I just happened to frequent the same online venue as he does. | |
