your experiences of dating sites/blind dates?

Date 1: Nice enough bloke, looked just like his photo. We met, he was ok, normal, non wierd. Made excuses afterwards to not see me again.

Date 2: Friend of a friend on fb, talked about his ex all night whilst stating he was very keen on me and could we make a go of it. Slagged me off all over fb when I politely asked if we could take it slower.

Date 3: Non starter, did all the chasing, asked to meet up then made excuses at last minute to not bother.

I GIVE UP!

I've been on and off POF for a couple of years now. If you're careful, thick skinned and patient it can be quite good. Must admit, I'm getting a bit fed up of it now though. Enjoyed it when I first started but is getting a bit tiresome now lol. Have met quite a few nice men on there and some worked out quite well for a short while. To be honest though, I don't think I was really quite ready but it was good fun and a good distraction! :-)

I went on at least 8 dates before I met my now DP. But he's lovely and worth waiting for :) But best to look at them as just a chance to chat to someome - don't start thinking yourself into a relationship or getting your hopes up too early. You may meet quite a few before you find someone who's right for you, but so what?

Ive been on a few dates and have recently met what I thought was a lovely man however Im now getting a bit worried as although hes says hes going through a divorce he still wears his wedding ring and on Saturday night he seemed to be doing alot of texting? Is it time to run for the hills?

"going through a divorce" (whilst still living with wife and wearing ring)= testing the waters or just after an affair. Yes, run for the hills.

Apparently hes living with his dad but Im now not sure. It would also explain why he didnt seem that keen to go for a drink locally! Yet another reason to stay single . Delete his number from my phone now and walk away swiftly!! Men can be such worms aye?

Never delete someone's number from your phone if you don't want to speak to them - then you won't know it's him calling!

But, yes, I'd walk away. Sounds like lots of alarm bells ringing there.

Im just so glad it didnt go any further if you know what I mean!! I feel really sorry for his wife.
