basically aol sometimes send me a free, 3 day trial of there dating thing, i wouldnt normally sign up but because it was free i thought i would have a look,

so yesterday i was browsing the talent!!! and clicked a few into my favourites, thinking i would show my friends and see what they thought about the various chaps available!!

anyway one has emailed me saying i saw you put me in your favourites??? i didnt realise it would let the men know i had done this!!!!!!

and he chats a bit and asks some questions but i dont know weather to reply or not, i have been single for 15 months, and a bit scared of the dating thing. and he looks very nice and normal, maybe a bit to nice for me.

any wise words?

Sp. I emailed my now dh when I saw his details on a dating site. I was piddled when I did it and so was he and he'd forgotten he'd done it so he was gob-smacked when he got my mail. We emailed for about 3 weeks and I kept on at him to phone me. He finally did, we met up a week after and were living together within a couple of months. 6 years on, we 're still together so good luck (or be careful what you wish for)!!

Hi-jack...hi Lou, how are you? Are you going to the Christmas craft fare at Secretts? Can't remember when it is but saw it in the local council newsletter today

I met my dp online. He was using wap because he was bored at uni. Like you, I was only really messing about, btu that was nearly 4 years ago now! We got engaged last xmas. We first met in rl, about a month after talking online, he took me out for valentines.
I think if you get to know him a bit first it would be less awkward when you did eventually meet up. Plus I've chatted to people before and sometimes after the initail bit is over there isn't any spark when it come s to talkign abt everyday things.

thanks for the replies, nice to hear some success stories from the internet dating!!!

he contacted me first, i was only on there for a 3 day trial, that has finished now, so we are emailing off of the site, we have exchanged email addresses,

prob best to leave it a bit longer then, but i am so negative about it, thinking he is prob just emailing cause he is bored etc,

will keep you informed, this is first bit of excitment i have had in my life that doesnt involve kids, since ex left 15 months ago.

me?

about a week lol, we emailed msnned and spoke on the phone

i told him what he could or couldnt say to me from the first time he messaged me, told him if he asked me certain things i would just block his arse and that would be that, and made him do it all on my terms

that was 3m ago

he is the only guy i have met online tho

sanchpanch · 12/11/2006 16:35

to be honest depends on what youve been saying

If youve been discussing your ex & how hurt you were etc, he may be taking it slow so as not to scare you off

I would say if you like him, ask him
Nothing to lose & everything to gain

Lou do you give lessons in this dating stuff LOL.

I am not doing well at all at the mo, still only getting messages off people I wouldn't even look once at never mind twice.

lou33 · 12/11/2006 23:07

lol you can be my first nutty!

ask him out, if you like him sod it, there arent really any rules on who says what when

mine spoiled me all weekend, so you can have some successes online

nikkie · 14/11/2006 21:33
