20!!!!!!

Bloody hell :)

Time you would be very welcome, I do honestly mean that, part of the reason for me always wanting the house I have now was so that I could have lots of visitors :)

Madame let us know when he replies!

I was thinking more of the profiles I've seen when they have about a sentence, maybe two, in their profile. I like a little more information than that.

Thank you Sponge, that is really lovely of you

Sponge/Snape/time. Can you look at mine too please? I know you will be constructive!

Yes Scatty, would love to

Time you're welcome. And thanks for your verdict on my profile...I do agree re the photo, I just lifted it off FB but will change it for the other one when I get home :)

I'm pleased you agree Sponge. We will get you a nice bloke, we will!!

Ooh, MadamO are you in Ed? Lots of nice men there. And how did you send your email on GS to someone who wasn't subscribed? I tried that once and it kept disappearing.

Scatty - happy to help as well. now that i've ripped apart sponges profile

time we wouldn't let you get lost!

Thank you Snape

just caught up - suspect me and time might have said the same thing about photo. If we both say something independently, then it's now THE LAW!

Yogagirl I was sneaky and wrote myname at hot mail dot com
Yes, My city's not bad for decent looking men. X

Thanks. I will attempt to pm later.

MadameO - not fair

Snape thanks. I bet you did think the same about the photo, I know it is a bit, well, obvious - can't get on to OKC but am looking forward to reading your advice later! You are all now my Dating Advisors - hopefully between all of you you can find me a decent man (with my new improved profile!)

What is the etiquette on dating sites if you see someone you know??

Are there any other hints and tips other than nice pics and enough but not too much information?

madameOvary I was on Times encounters for a month or so and they are extremely over vigilent about attempts to circumnavigate their payment structure, to the point of monitoring 'private' messages and deleting huge chunks of your profile. I hit on irregular capitalisation to tRy anD gEt PAst thEiR fiLters. no. I therefore HATE 'times encounters' with the intensity of a thousand dying suns and all the men were rubbish spudmen

kirsty if you fancy them you hit them up! :) on my past profile someone i know messaged me because he had 'accidentally' hit my profile to apologise that he wasn't being 'nosy' then he bought me a copy of a CD i'd mentioned on my profile

then he got thrown-over for a hot scientist - but thats a different story....

we've established the prof is a tit-man.

I've had another text from my chap from last night. Chatty text, but nothing about date number 2. I am crap at this.

I really don't understand how this all works. I chatted with a few men on GS but they all stopped messaging without suggesting meeting up. Should I bite the bullet and contact them again? They were very promising. So many rules. It was so much easier when I was younger when I would go out and snog a bloke in a nightclub a few times, then move to cinema trips and meeting the parents :-)

Re. 2nd dates.

If someone said to me that they want to meet again, I'd ask when? straight away. :)
But that's me.

Otherwise, you may end up skirting around the subject for ages and never go anywhere.

If they are not really interested, they won't give a definitive date or one too far in the future.
Even if they have the excuse of going away for work or a holiday.
If they really want, they'll find the time to see you before they go (unless it's like the next day).

I looked on Times Encounters. Meh. Was glad there were no decent looking men if that's how bad they are.

Llareggub -- I'm just barging in, unsolicited, to say PLEASE don't say you're crsp at online-dating just because you haven't been asked for a D2. Don't blame yourself! It's just a numbers game. It really only works when you completely detach from it emotionally and try to see it (laughs hollowly) as a way to get out of the house, try a new coffee shop, meet a few people.

I went on about 25,000 D1s before I met the bf. I kept him waiting 4 weeks for our D1 as I was secretly on a diet! I didn't allow myself to meet him till I was 10stone.

And no, I wouldn't bother reigniting old embers from G'S men who wrote but didn't ask for a date. I had loads of those, I just let them drift. Lots of men just seem to like collecting penpals. Next!

It'll pick up soon. I work for a dating site and we find that summer is really quiet. In September people start staying in more and looking towards Xmas etc, so it'll get a lot busier.

The busiest day for dating sites is 27 December. Isn't that also the day thaf the most people commit suicide? ;) That's why they never replied!

:-) we've got a second date in Monday. I am not going to tell him that it's my birthday!

Yay for second date! :D
