Dating thread rules:

1. The first rule about the dating thread is you don't talk about it with people you're dating.
2. Develop a thick skin.
3. Do not invest emotionally too soon.
4. It's all BS until it actually happens.
5. Trust your gut instinct.
6. People vanishing, lying & being generally weird is not your fault.
7. You are the prize-they should be trying to impress you.
8. If it's not fun, stop.
9. Loo update is mandatory.

10. No dating the thread.

Runnymummy, sounds like it was probably a good thing he was late and you only spent ten minutes with him .

Mr Mod messaged me this morning to say he has Monday off work and would like to spend it with me if I'm free , I'm not sure if I really want to see him after everything that's happened so I haven't given him a answer yet.

Meant to be meeting up with a old iron (from when I first started OLD 2 years ago), really nice person but no good at MB and not very attractive. I may cancel.

Possible date with Mr Drone sometime this week or next weekend.

Not really feeling it at the moment after being messed around by Mr MOD.

What is this Bumble you speak of?

Today I have been amusing myself by talking to my 27 year old sister and her adventures in OLD. It is a whole different world!

Bumble is similar to Tinder but the lady has to send the first message. It's good if you live in a town or city but for me living out in the sticks I find it's a bit dead on there (run out of people to swipe).

Blimey RM, better off out.

Just popped on to Tinder and got 6 matches , maybe I am atractive after all?or maybe all men just swipe left in hope to get a match? What's the betting none will message me?

Try and be positive and maybe you'll attract it back.
Seriously LM whenever I'm feeling defeatist and low, nothing good ever seems to happen.
Must be something in this whole laws of the universe thing!

I'm feeling really down today. I've been in touch with Mr First, we've had two dates that went really well and I'm still feeling negative about it. I really like him and don't want to bother dating anyone else. The thought of him dating someone else is making me sad.

I was messaging another guy - MrCoffee - during the week and we get on well but no suggestion of a date.

I'm thinking I'm not cut out for this.

No idea why, but I created a profile on Match today. Just wanted to see how many people were in my area really. I've used it before years ago and had zero success from it.

Got a message from an old short term girlfriend (few weeks) saying OMG get you and your tats!

Wasn't expecting that!! I know it was her because the email notification told me.

In an hour I've had 1 message, 1 favourite, 1 wink and 19 views.

Now, is this all real or is this fake stats to make me subscribe?

I still had her on what's app so I messaged to say saw your match message but couldn't reply as not subscribed. Chatted for a while and then she said I don't suppose you wanna meet up again?

Blimey.

That's great Info! Are you going to meet up?

Anyone else unable to get on POF? I've reinstalled the app and tried the website with no luck :(

Not sure, but probably!

Yeah POF is screwed today, it's not just you :)

I though I'd broken pof with my bad date. He has messaged me but I can't see what it says.

Someone else accused me of being rude earlier for leaving in the middle of a chat. We'd only exchanged about 3 messages. I didn't think i had to excuse myself. He's probably blocked me by now for not replying again.

Ooh Info - sounds promising!

Info - the views themselves probably aren't fake, but match will promote your profile to people - stick you higher in the search results etc - when they're trying to persuade you to subscribe or extend. So if you subscribe the number of views will plummet. Plus you can add in that you're 'fresh meat' too. Everyone likes novelty.

So what caused the thing with your ex to end? I'm of the mind that you can never go back, but other people do, and it works for them

I was happily chatting to someone today on pof, getting along well, and then we discussed Brexit and she went quiet. Not sure if she called things off because we disagree.

Does anyone else find POF relatively quiet on the weekend? Hopefully not because all the male members are married

It's been on fire for me. A dozen 'meet me's and loads of views.

But it's been flaky today too, it keeps not connecting

I always found POF to be busy for a few days and then dead for a week. Weekends alway more quiet.

Maybe everyone is out going for long walks on the beach, and also staying in with wine and a DVD. They've got to find time for that somewhere..

LOL!

The ex was a complete gym nut. She went sometimes 2-3 times a DAY which left very little free time.

I kept saying back then that I was going to have a skinhead and tattoos and she kept asking me about it all the time. Turns out now that she's mega impressed that I did it and she thought I was really indecisive at the time. I also questioned whether all the time at the gym was worth it which royally hacked her off! It was a very strange ending too but no harm in going for a chat.

True, no harm. Go for it mate

I seem to have a date tomorrow that I forgot about .
He hasn't been in touch for about a week. We spoke last weekend and arranged a possible date. But I thought nothing of it when I didn't hear any more from him.
He's just messaged to say he's looking forward to it. He was a Tinder match and I can't remember anything about him and have deleted Tinder now.
Got to be better than today's disaster date. Who messaged to say he felt no chemistry with me. I think I got that message loud and clear

Runnny so hot she got dates she forgot about :)

Lol Info I wish!
I thought he'd just gone away like most of them do.

I got 2 messages, 3 favourites and 73 views on Match. Think I'll stay unsubscribed if the action is this good (even if non members can't do anything about any of it!!).
