OLD question

Hmm.. I don't know if I have the thick skin needed for old. I had my 2nd date on The weekend and we've agreed another date. But I've also been asked on a date with someone else. I feel bad going on another date as I know I wouldn't like it if date no1 was going on other dates too.

I keep noticing that he's online on pof and wondering why! Surely I'm not normal. I need to get a grip don't i?

Also how much contact are you all having with your dates between dates? Date1 is texting me most nights and so I'm worried we will eventually run out of things to talk about and hell lose interest!

I think you know why he's there.
I'm on an online dating site, and unless I was seriously involved with someone, I'd still check in to see what was in the offing. Two or three dates wouldn't count as 'seriously involved' for me.
I think text, message or email daily isn't a problem - but daily phonecalls would seem like a commitment!

Don't- yeah that's exactly why I think he's on there. I know he should be keeping his options open and therefore chatting to others and so too should I, but I feel a sense of jealousy which I know I shouldn't.

How do you cope with the feelings? I'm not a jealous person normally so not sure why I feel like this. I've never online dated before so all this seeing more than 1 person at a time is new to me.

I'm not an expert. You need someone who has done a lot of dating and that's not me. I haven't developed any feelings for men from the site yet - except possibly irritation.

Someone told me you have to develop a very thick skin for online dating. I'm working on it.
