Does it matter if a woman is a good cook? Posted: 10/24/2008 8:23:53 AM
Well it may not totally matter if a woman is a good cook. But its definitely a plus! Ive dated some wonderful women (still am) and can honestly say the efforts they make in the kitchen do make a difference. Going out to eat is fun for a bit, but if your going to spend quality time with your lady its going to be spent some tasting her cooking, and thats always nice when its good stuff!

if someone asks you to meet in a very secluded place... Posted: 9/12/2008 8:39:36 AM
Simple common sense says meet in a public place. So if a person practices that it certainly wont be a concern.

Somebody digs up a old and totally dead topic and brings it back to life and the people replying didnt look at it closely enough to notice. Ive done it before, but think i woulda checked this one for sure...

Date thought I was taking advantage of him by asking him to get me a pack of gum Posted: 8/9/2008 2:35:01 PM
Especially if its the first time someone is going out together its good just to do something simple, doesnt have to cost a dime, lol, for even a peice of gum. Go out, have something cool to drink while talking. Dating is only expensive because people make it expensive. It doesnt have to be at all. If your with the right person money isnt even a thought, at least not much, anyways...

Unexpectedly meeting an ex Posted: 7/29/2008 8:13:01 AM
Ive learned some about Yellowknife through watching Ice Road Truckers and have also been up into the Northwest Territories. Indeed it would be a challenge finding someone you really cared for. Wish you the best, though, keep an open mind, heart, and dont let this person get to you no matter what their reason may be for doing what they are doing. It will be worth your while being on PoF, youve been here a few weeks, give it time, i did, and it was worth it in the end!

Come on, get over it already! Posted: 7/11/2008 6:45:21 AM
No doubt its worth it to get to know someone pretty well before investing anything in them emotionally. The getting over the ex thing is something that usually comes out fairly early, though, so that one usually isnt too surprising. I met someone once whose Ex lived about 3 blocks away because he still loved the kids so much. I enjoyed chatting with her for an afternoon, she was really smart, and i wished her luck, knowing we wouldnt be compatible. If you date much, either online or any way, you will run into the Ex conversations a lot. But i can also tell you that someone i met on here and have been with for over a year now has had a lot of probs with the EX but we havent let that destroy what we have for each other and wont. Your still way young, welcome to listening to other peoples problems with others, i did it for many many years!

Hi just had a date from hell....again Posted: 7/6/2008 4:32:45 PM
I learned years ago that meals arent why i go to meet someone, its to meet them and get to know them. I can and will do this over a cup of coffe (my treat) for at least the first time if not others. When you meet someone you want to be with what you do isnt whats important as its who your doing it with. If anything having a meal on a first date can be a big deterrent to getting to know that person so if i were ever meeting someone on a first date it wouldnt be over dinner. Price wouldnt ever even enter into the picture, either way...

Who Pays???? Posted: 7/4/2008 8:08:55 AM
Im taking my girlfriend out for a weekend of gambling, etc, and am paying for it. She will pay for her own gambling, but im happy to come up with the other costs (why would i invite them otherwise?). Im amazed this thread has gone on this long, if you invite someone somewhere you pay for the obvious expenses. Its hard to imagine it otherwise no matter how many ways you can try and skew this situation...

Like you said, whoever does the invite, does the paying, nough said........ i wouldnt invite someone to something and then expect them to pay something, it would only be because they offer, even then i wouldnt be expecting them to pay since i invited them...

If you think about it, though, there is a right time and place for everything, and maybe this was it for you. I know that people have to go through things and then when the time is right you may just find what youve been looking for.......

Good man says goodbye Posted: 5/30/2008 2:02:06 PM
I experienced all the same frustrations with internet dating, and with PoF, at one time or another. But, thankfully, i actually met someone, and can honestly say, it really had little to do with the effort i made in the intial process. She wanted to meet me, and went out of her way to do so. When the lady really likes what she see's and is talking to, it makes a world of difference (for both sides) the problems that you experience, the lack of communication, desire, motivation, once those items are covered because that other person really, really, likes you, then the disappointment goes with it. I think internet dating sites are pretty much like anything else, if a person really likes you, enough so to go for it, then all the reasons why these sites dont work go away, and all the satisfaction of being in a great relationship fills in. A year after meeting my fish it just gets better and better, and this site happens to be where we met through, but its all about chemistry, and desire, that can only be created between two people that are meant to be together or seem very compatible either way........

Looks will always be a big part of the game, but not everything. But they are a good starting point, since that is what is a big draw in on a dating site, that first look...

All true, Solitarygal! In all honesty, 3 months isnt a long time at all. Clearly you are "trying" way too hard. I met someone special when i wasnt trying at all, as a matter of fact after 16 months i was ready to pull my profile too. So hows about just hanging out as aforementioned, certainly cant hurt either way...

Is a cell phone absolutely necessary today? Posted: 2/28/2008 7:36:31 AM
Seeing as talking on the phone has been important to me to start a relationship, id say no a cell phone isnt necessary. But a regular phone is, since i find phone communication the only real way to get to know someone quickly and find out what you do or dont have in common. Email and IM dont have the necessary means to find out the real important things about a person....

Some people will say different, but i love P.O.F. and met a beautiful lady ive been with several months now. Without P.O.F. i wouldnt have done that, and its always a fun site to hang on and see how people are doing, its much more than a dating site..........

goodbye pof forever Posted: 2/8/2008 6:58:11 AM
I agree with Serenity, and feel that if you have a good friendship at least, then your doing well. Its good to not force something that isnt there in a relationship, if its meant for something more give it time and enjoy the good times. Also, as im sure most of us know, dont expect someone else to bring us happiness, bring happiness along with you and share it with those you meet along the way. Even if you feel there should be more in a relationship with someone, its best to find happiness for yourself and not force restrictions that may or may not be necessary to be with someone. Until you can do that you wont succeed in a relationship.

Your date and her unruley kid Posted: 1/22/2008 9:22:59 AM
Oh man, there is a book of stories i could tell, lol. But thank god that seems to be in the past, at least atm. The single parent is parent, friend, confidente, you name it, with their child(ren) nowadays. Being a single, never married, childless, man, ive seen it all, and have experienced any and all levels of experiences along these lines. Ive never lived with anyone, but have experienced every level of frustration, and a certain level of satisfaction, with my ladies children. Although im an adult, i happen to enjoy younger people's activities and interest, which goes a long way in being able to be accepted into a families home and appreciated as a well rounded kinda guy :0.....

All the men who email me from POF have no posts in forums? Posted: 1/7/2008 3:42:10 PM
Probably just those peeps havent used the forums but often ladies have contacted me from post i made from the forum so it can actually be a nice way of matching up with another individual. People like seeing what you have to say, so its nice when you say something in the forums to see where you "jive" at some point...

Its definitely not the site, you can be a forum poster, and in a relationship, nothing wrong with that. Many of the best opinions come from committed forum posters who can relate and know how to help people since they usually arent distraught, just enjoy reading and posting on the forums...

Everybody seems on the right track here, she has noticeable problems that will show up again without a doubt. If its such a big deal on a small thing it will be much more noticeable on something actually important. Best to know that now, have a good Christmas either way!

Completely Destroyed Posted: 12/12/2007 2:15:37 PM
As already said, your young, Matt, best to be heart wise as opposed to heart broken. Takes a while to understand that our happiness doesnt come from others, we find it first, then share it with others, we can share what they have to offer also. That way if for some reason the other person doesnt work out, at least we still have the warmth and glow that helped make us an item to begin with. Find that happiness and the rest is easy, nothing will really hurt that much anymore, you can do it!!!

No doubt, Nancy, and talking to someone in advance is always a good idea. That way if the physical part doesnt fare well at least you know you like them as a person and can amicably say bye bye. I agree with Suckafish, they will get over it, were all grown ups on here...........

What's the most or least you've ever spent on FIRST date? Posted: 11/27/2007 3:07:46 PM
I wouldnt do it nowadays, but blew $100 or so one time, she was really fun, she had said another guy spent a lot more on her, but she enjoyed our night much more, never saw her again due to varying reasons. From experience having a good time doesnt actually cost much if anything if you really dig who your with :)........

What puts you off? Posted: 10/27/2007 2:44:21 PM
The only way, IMHO, is to be able to talk with someone on the phone. If the other person is sincerely interested in getting to know you, they will want to talk on the phone. If this person is a phone aphobe or whatever that says they dont want to talk, ie, get to know you. Keep on keeping on, its worth it to meet the right person instead of the other...

True, i just read what the guy was saying and its been said so many times. I agree with what Carpe Diem says, and by hanging in there i found that special person. But the forums keep you hanging out and either wanting to encourage someone or put in my 2 cents worth on some matter.

Im gathering they werent too impressed with you, but either way its not right. I do agree with the person who said who would attempt a elaborate meal on the first date, at best i just meet for starbucks, but always pay, its the only right thing to do. And yes i always carry a wallet and its always full of money not to mention a debit card so money is never a thought.
