Internet dating.

[Dominique07]

So I'm on a website.

And the guys are all sleezy and nasty.

And am talking to one and he is not AND I like the look of him.

So am arranging to meet up with him.

And have spent the last two nights talking to him online... It is too much build up isn't it?

But I'm so excited!

Although slightly nervous, because I have said I can't dance and don't do clubbing, but he suggested he will teach me. So i'm going for it, and see how it goes!

Hi Dominique

Sounds good - just take it easy, don't build it up into some huge deal - I always try and treat the first meet as just that - it's not a date, it's a go-see where you go and see if you like the look of each other, whether you get on, whether it's worth going on a date-date if that makes sense?

Where are you meeting him and what sort of time? And always make sure someone knows where you're going and check in with them at some point. Other than that, go for it and have a great time!

Hi Dominique

Good luck and keep us posted, I'm in the same boat but we haven't arranged to meet yet, not sure when you should do that in fact don't really know what I'm doing at all!

If it helps, I had a message from a 60 year old yesterday (I'm 34!)...it not just you

Hi, thanks for your comments!

It went really well. Was like meeting a friend.

He is younger than me, hope not too young, and I don't know if it was that but I had fun and at ease!

I can't be sure if it should be a relationship or a friendship but there is lots of good chemistry there so we are going to meet up to do more things together.

Lionstigersandbears, why do those old boys do it? shiver...

Glad to hear your date went well, I've been talking to someone for the last couple of days and it's really nice.
Have put filters on my messages though...now have 64 unsuitable messages!!
The oldest guy had written 'not sure what you're looking for?'. I was so tempted to write back 'someone who is not older than my Mother'....I restrained myself!

Take it from me online dating is a mine field, but there are still some princes out there that are 100% genuine!
I personally think it is best to meet quite quickly to see if you like each other,then if you don't why waste timebuilding something up when once you meet there is no spark. It goes without saying meet in a place where there are other people around so you are safe.
I think if you wait and write to each other through e mail before you meet you build a picture up in your mind of a person and what can happen is once you do meet you can be disapointed and let down some what.
This is what i learned from the internet dating game, there are a lot of men out for what they can get but there are also a lot of men like women who are seeking someone genuine to share their lifes with. Good Luck and have fun !

I agree with Tiger.

Back when I was Internet dating, many women were WAY overcautious. Swap a few mails then meet up for lunch or something.

Yibber yabbering for weeks might be good for you but ultimately gets you nowhere. And if you think a decent man is going to sit around typing heartfelt messages into the computer for weeks then you are sorely mistaken. A good man will be snapped up quick, leaving only the numpties and players responding for weeks at a time.

Hi, glad your date went well. I had some really odd perverts men contact me when I first started internet dating lol and almost gave up hope of ever meeting a guenuine, decent guy. Then I met my DP and knew instantly that I had found somebody very special. We have been together for 18 months now and are expecting our 1st DC together (his 2nd, my 3rd) in November of this year. My BF has also recently met a lovely man on line after a series of complete weirdos!!

There are good guys out there. Trust your instincts and have fun
