Ok I've tried the online dating thing on and off over the years. I met one bloke on it 7 years ago and we were together for 2 years. That's the only time I've ever followed through with the messages.
Anyway I've been on POF (I know) for about a month now and whilst I get a fair few messages, I dismiss 95% of them straight away (usually shallow reasons like being too short, bad English skills, comments in profile that sounds like they just go out pissing it up every week etc).
Anyway I got talking to two guys. One was a bouncer/body builder type who seems a bit full on and reminds me of that book, Into The Darkest Corner and the other is a sensible sounding engineer with two teenage kids.
I exchanged mobile numbers with the engineer and we've been texting every day. I've never even met the guy and I find myself thinking about him all the time, building up this picture of him that is probably a million miles off what he actually is! We've agreed to meet on Friday and part of me doesn't want to because I know it will more than likely shatter my illusion.
Why do I get so involved?? Anyone else had this problem with online dating?
