Just block.him on pof. Ignore texts, block if you can. Dont engage, might take a few days but eventually he will get bored and leave you alone..

Time, hes just a sleeze, and like you say, however nice they seem it doesn't take long before they are saying that. No idea if its poor social skills or too much porn.
Weird. Like my second date who spent 10 mins talking about my boobs, from the other side of the room. Despite not having made a move and oblivious to my discomfort about it

notsurewhyohwhy · 13/05/2012 21:19

i have now reported him, he is really persistant but thats probably my fault as i have never had anyone send me crap like that before or talk that kind of rubbish to me. so i have been insulting him about his behaviour whicj clearly turns him on.

Have followed this thread for a while and really enjoy it. Doing the online dating myself but feeling dejected and thinking about giving up. Have had 4 dates and felt things were going well. Slept with him 4th date, couple texts back and fore today, I asked about meeting up again- he said sounds good, I replied what do you fancy doing? Stil waiting on reply, 8 hours later! Just feel really crap, hadn't even kissed someone in 3 years and after I slept with him its seems like goodbye- and he said the sex was the best he had in years. Dont understand why? If he was only after a shag, an expensive way of doing it as we did have very nice dates mainly paid for by him. Anyway feeling really shitty about it all.

notsurewhyohwhy · 13/05/2012 21:32

ok i need some help, i have seen a guy that i really like the look of on pof, he seems decent and i want to sent him a catchy/ interesting message, can i have you best examples please Grin

also would be interested to hear the best dates people have been on that dont involve alochol?

watchoutforthatsnail · 13/05/2012 22:01

Best non booze dates ive had. Tour round Lincoln catherdral then dinner. Hiking in constable country. Walk on the beach with ice cream, then.getting trapped in this bit and having to climb over a fence to get out!!! A ' chav date' at the amusements, racing each other and playing air hockey.. independent arty cinema. Crazy golf. A stealth cheese fest in a posh tea room.. a pub band, which ended up with lots of drinking.

The problem with boozy dates is well, you are pissed. You lose your judgement and your date becomes the most hysterical, good looking man about.and then you want sex.
Coffee dates are better, but so impersonal, and hard to make any kind of connection at. But activity dates are good because you instantly have common ground, something to talk about, and laugh.about and its easier to see it as a good date than just sitting in.starbucks. because you have an instant shared experience..Plus if you are laughing its easier and more natural to flirt. And you both will think the other is fun. It's win/ win.

I.must admit my heart always sinks when a guy suggests going.for a drink. Plus It's more costly and you Have to make more effort getting ready, and at that point you don't even know.if they are worth that effort.

MyLittleMiracles · 13/05/2012 22:12

I met just friends at a park and we walked and chatted for hours, then walked to my bus stop, waited for the bus with me, a hug and then we parted, happy, no kissing, no shagging but lots of tumbling hair and make up. That was probably the best date ever. I felt comfortable, and at ease, unthreatened and he didn't talk to my boobs.

Other than that it has been quite crappy. Expensive doesnt equal good. It's about the company.

SPsFanjoHarboursDeadCats · 13/05/2012 22:13

It is a very small world. The lad I met as turned out to be a close friend of my cousins and we have met before!

Snapespeare · 13/05/2012 22:18

I do actually blame porn. I really think some men make such tenuous links with internet dating and their other internet activaities that they cant distinguish between reality and their warped imaginations. Really sorry this has happened notsure. Sleazy, nasty, inadequate little men.

peppa hi. Same thing happened to me, except we paid half each on dates, so it ended up costing a fortune for one shag that i thought was fab at the time due to a long hiatus and now consider as a rubbish mistake. Hey ho.

Snapespeare · 13/05/2012 22:25

Sorry, watch' i doubt it. I'm a bit confused at the moment, he's just about to take down his profiles as well, so i've pre-empted him, i think, but he was apparently waiting to hear back from someone he liked on okc. I would clearly hate her on sight (whoever she is, poor love could be the nicest woman ever, i would be spiteful and jealous and i dont like that about myself) although, he says anyone he might consider having a relationship with has to get through me and his ex (who, of course loves me...nnnn) so i think if he ever went out with anyone again, i'd need to back right off again. sigh.

MirandaWest · 13/05/2012 22:35

Told my mum and dad about Mr Nice. They were both pleased but especially my mum who squeaked a lot Grin.

Most of my dates haven't involved alcohol - first one involved looking at sculptures made of old trees and walking around a town and having tea in a tea room before dinner in another nearby town. Another one was dinner at his house and dog walking in the dark followed by snogging on the sofa. Also the cinema.

MyLittleMiracles · 13/05/2012 22:52

I have decided to go find my angel halo, just friends told me to be good. And I plan to be. Unless he comes over, then I unleash the sexual goddess in me!,

TimeForMeAndDD · 14/05/2012 07:00

Morning everyone. Obviously MNHQ take offence at us posting links of the men who contact us as my posts have been deleted. Chaotics too. Unless it's seens as advertising Hmm

MyLittleMiracles · 14/05/2012 08:46

I don't get why. But at least we got to see what potatoes look like. Listening to some old chilling songs. Right now I have lemar time to grow on. Going out today but no flirting. I am a good girl (repeat over)

TimeForMeAndDD · 14/05/2012 10:30

Someone must have reported them MLM. Someone with a fondness for potatoes? Grin

watchoutforthatsnail · 14/05/2012 10:36

snape - to be fair, id be bloody confused too. I do hope at some point it all works to some conclusion and that you are happy with it. Whens your flatmates date?

peppa - welcome to the thread. Sorry about what happened, it is, unfortunatley, really common. and no, it makes no sense at all really. Take heart its not your fault.

TimeForMeAndDD · 14/05/2012 10:50

Peppa what watch says, it's not your fault. Onwards and upwards and all that Smile

I've reported my own to post containing a link to a potato, to save whoever is reporting my posts the trouble. HTH. Smile

watchoutforthatsnail · 14/05/2012 11:04

Strange though time, noone reported sponges profile on her thread. or any profiles before... and many have been linked to in the past. Surely they have all broken the talk guidelines too in that case. especially sponges. How very strange....

TimeForMeAndDD · 14/05/2012 11:10

Mmm, yes Watch but not very strange when you think about it. I'm sure you know as much as I do who is behind it Wink

But are we bovvered?? Are we hell! Grin

TimeForMeAndDD · 14/05/2012 11:11

We can continue to share the potatoes via PM, so no harm done Smile unfortunately for the snitch

Snapespeare · 14/05/2012 11:16

The revenge of the potatoes.

I think any implied criticism was mild, no one was being viciously awful at POF profiles and they're clearly in the public domain, so I don't really see the problem...

watchoutforthatsnail · 14/05/2012 11:19

:)

Anyway - i also need to report that ' operation make single friends' is back up after a disaterous friday. And i have arranged a film and drinks thing, posted it on the website, and PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY COMING!!!

Im nothing if not tenacious :)

watchoutforthatsnail · 14/05/2012 11:20

The profiles are public domain, its not like you cant search yourself.... And hardly any worse that what happened to sponge.

MyLittleMiracles · 14/05/2012 11:24

Just saw a builder in town who is good looking (they are doing the t mobile shop) but I have told myself no flirting and I haven't yet (been out half hour) so shiny angel halo is in place...... For now. I swear though if he is still their it may slip

TimeForMeAndDD · 14/05/2012 11:30

Sour grapes and potatoes don't go well together. Grin

What happened to sponge was worse, far worse, but I suspect that is where revenge of the potatoes began I've had a reply from MNHQ thanking me for reporting my own post, seems I got in there first on that one! Grin

I saw that on your FB watch, blooming well done!!

watchoutforthatsnail · 14/05/2012 11:33

hmmm, i was going to ask people about that, how can everyone see everything ive done on my fb? it was sent to Ifriends only, and everyone can see?

i dont like it, not that i have anything to hide... how do i turn that off?

mlm - so, just out of interest, to out of practised women like me, how on earth would you go about ' flirting' with a random builder, who was actually doing a job, on a building site at the time?
