I am very new to online dating having only just registered on one of the well known subscription paying ones on Wednesday.
To be honest so far I've found it all abit depressing.
Had a wink from someone in Ireland (I'm based in England) who private messaged me explaining he doesn't have any profile pictures up because he wants to be discreet but would be happy to email them to me. Said he travels alot in this country for work and wanted to meet a someone special over here. To me it screamed of HE'S MARRIED.
Got another message off some bloke who was all woe is me, 'why do women always mess me around...blah blah'.
Another one gave me his number immediately and badgered me to ring him. Keeps sending me winks despite the fact I have ignored him.
I had been chatting online with a guy who did seem quite nice. We seemed to have a lot in common, he had a nice photo etc. Thought oooh he might be a 'normal' amongst all the others. Thought he could have potential for meeting up in real life for a coffee and a chat. Anyhow, got a message tonight from him basically saying that he was on his way home from the cinema and implied that by 'home' he meant MY HOME! I sent him the most unimpressed emoticon I could find to which he replied 'What?' (as if he didn't know?!).
Anyway, am already finding it all very disappointing. Have paid for a 6 month subscription because it turned out to be the cheapest option so still have loads of time to use it. Is this really what there is to expect most of the time with OLD?
