Blocked on a dating site because I didn’t reply within 5 minutes

[Tinyandpetite]

Hi everyone. New to this online dating thing, joined today and had quite a few nice messages from one block. I was busy with my daughter, just gone online to check messages. Must of been 5 minutes and I got a message with s mobile number saying could I text. Next minute a message saying ‘never mind you must be getting lots of attention on here, ignore my last message’ have a lovely evening. Then I was blocked! All because I didn’t reply within 10 mins? What the hell. I’m pretty sure I wasn’t been unreasonable. Anyone else had this happen?

Lucky escape, sounds like an arrogant prick.

Well he must've been looking for a quick shag rather than a date?
You've lost nothing.

They’ve told you who they are. Bullet dodged.

Be glad you dodged that bullet. what a needy twat.

Forget about it. Move on to the next guy and make yourself a solemn promise never to take their behaviour personally. It is never to do with you and all to do with them. Until you’re actually in a relationship with them you just ignore all their stupid bonkers behaviour and move onto the next guy. Otherwise you will drive yourself insane.

Dodged a bullet there.

Maybe he’d also been in contact with someone else and they had responded immediately & he was enjoying chatting to them & didn’t want two women to chat to at the same time? It was quite a polite response, not rude.

That's great in a way - saves you a job cos he's clearly got issues!

Great, the trash took itself out!

Saves you an awful lot of hassle!

Trash took itself out - you had a lucky escape. It would not bode well for your sex life if he thought 5 minutes was ages.

He wasn't a gym obsessed beefcake was he??

Yep, had the same done to me, although beefcake was much, much ruder!

Lucky escape.

Politely phrased maybe, but ridiculously impatient. You can't always expect a reply within 5-10 minutes. Lucky escape I agree.

Honestly 95% of the men you’ll meet online will be outright “no”s or pricks

You need a thick skin and not to take this stuff personally but there are some gems hidden in there

Those who self-deselect are a very useful way of filtering out the undesirables. The one thing you can do in this instance is learn that it's not about you, and it isn't remotely personal.

Thanks everyone! I’ve just had it from another one. Is this what it’s like on there, you have a life and other stuff to do then suddenly your blocked for not been there 24/7 too reply? It’s ridiculous, why’s would they be like when I’m at work?

Which site/app is it?

Honestly you get some right creeps on online dating. Today alone I had a guy asking if I wanted a day's work and he would pay me and then when I ignored he kept sending me Oi!

My suggestion: Pay a bit for online dating. You generally tend to get a better calibre of prospect.

Eurgh I hate this. They message when I'm busy at work or whatever. I know there's a message but not replied or anything. By the time it's the evening and I get round to answering I'm blocked

I got a snotty message from a bloke I wasn’t even chatting with. He ‘winked’ at me and I read his profile (it was all woe is me about his ex). I just didn’t respond as I wasn’t interested in the slightest and it was just a wink. I had my share of no responses as well. A few days passed and I got a message saying ‘you could have at least come back to me,even to to say ‘you wish’. I liked you and just thought you might have replied!’ Jeez if he was that needy and possessive When we hadn’t even spoken I was glad,

I've had that.
He is either looking for a shag or is possessive.
You had a lucky escape.

Be prepared for weirdos, the ones who want a quickie and assholes.

It took me 1.5 years of OLD and meeting some odd men and a very short romance before I met my now DH.

We met using POF. He had tried one of the sites that cost and said he met some weird women although he always says that I was the least weird to settle down with.

I hated the ones that would just say hi, or hey gorgeous or similar. I would only interact with the ones that opened with something different.

Alot of my messages also got ignored. I didn't take it to heart. We cant all be compatible
