[InfoSec21]

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.

I have no flirt button on POF..

Really??

Go to a profile - about halfway down, just above the message box, is a thing that says 'send a flirt' then a blue box that says 'show interest' (on the PC, not looked on the app). Hitting that sends that annoying message.

I can do a screen grab if you want, but not sure how to upload it?

dear God bant I think the same person is flirting with us both 😂

Under the photos and above the second lot of stats that start "I am seeking a....".

Bant please do it back

I believe that only women have the flirt option.

I'm not sure why that's the case but I'm pretty sure it's the case.

Ah - that may be so! Weird double standards for 2017 though.

So, if men don't have it, now you know where that message comes from. It doesn't explain why we sometimes get that message too.

This is like inception now - we are on a forum, looking at a forum that is talking about a forum.....

Who's the the dreaming...spooky!

The one!

Hey there 😉

Hey there

Hey there

I'm guilty of sending this on POF, it was usually when I liked them but not enough to bother to send a proper message.

Morning all. I'm laughing at the "hey you" "are you there" messages. I've had those.
Don't forget that POF shows you as being online long after you've left. Think it takes about 30mins to log you out.

Weird thing last night. Mr Gym came over to talk. My phone buzzed so I looked at it as I was expecting a text from a friend. Instead it was a match notification from tinder!
My profile has been hidden for about 2 weeks so I haven't been swiping. And it was someone 70 miles away.
Luckily Mr Gym didn't see it or it could've been very awkward.

Runny that's weird. You may want to uninstall the app. Makes you wonder how much you can trust the settings on these apps.

So I exchanged numbers with someone today on pof, he then proceeded to send me 24 what's app picture messages of himself and his job/hobbies 😱 including a pic of myself (taken from my pof profile) saying how much he loved that picture!

When I didn't respond quickly enough he asked had I fainted think will have to block this weirdo!

Honestly I don't have attract em!

Half!

I think all the software is dodgy. it often shows me online when I am not. Add in that I may have left it logged in and gone off to the loo.

From yesterday, then this morning I got this:

"Him: 8:44:09 AM (19th)

smile... Morning! how are you? would be nice to chat some more hopefully

Me: 10.43pm (19th)
Hi
I am very well, thank you. I do try to smile but smiling on camera is not my thing. Here's a pic of me sort of smiling.

What is going on with the ceiling behind you in your photo!?

Him: 7:21:43 AM (20th)
morning, thanks for the reply

7:22:49 AM
what part of [town] are you in?

8:11:35 AM
no rush..."

Sigh.

Anyway, two more normal irons have asked for my phone number though I'm not sure it's much use to them as I have no signal at home at all.

A lot of serious impatience out there!!

Without a doubt this thread sort of keeps me semi-sane in the weird and not so wonderful world of on-line dating.

Since my 1st date on Monday we have spoken and texted. He goes away this evening until the first week of May. We have both admitted our "like" for each other.

Ooh I might get all my outstanding "To do tasks" completed and get my life in order.
Or I may just continue checking out the talent on PIG.
Or I may date by proxy on here.

Hahaha So POF (Plenty ot Fish)
autocorrects to PIG.

I have a super smart phone

I've definitely met Plenty of Pigs Lettuce

.....but I now have my bit of salmon (I hope)

Hi everyone!
I am currently dating a great guy, who has many of the attributes I am looking for. Problem is that I don't really find him attractive.
Meanwhile, another iron I DID fancy has got back in touch, but he wasn't quite right for me relationship-wise.
It's exciting, positive and fun ... but hard. It seems to be that there's always a trade-off somewhere.
Good-looking AND good partner material seems too much to ask
