Hey guys,
I’m new on the forum, first post. I’ve found this forum to be a great resource for advice on a wide variety of topics!
Was wondering if anyone could give me some advice. I’ve seen a guy I like the look of on POF, there’s just something about him. I haven’t actually signed up to POF but obviously can see his profile anyway.
I feel reluctant to sign up to POF as I’m from a really small place and I’m a really private person and I wouldn’t want people from my area knowing I’m on it. I know online dating is really successful for some and can be a great way to meet people and I don’t see anything wrong with it at all. But I feel like some people from my area would snigger about me using it, as I said, it’s a small place im from!
I feel like making an account to message the guy but without my photo , then moving the conversation onto what’s app and obviously he can see my photo on that. I feel better doing that than having my photos on POF then anyone in my area can see I’m using it. (Its a very small, gossipy place) and POF is very public which means anyone can see it! I have noticed other people stating on dating profiles that they prefer to be more private and not have all their info in the public domain, so maybe I’m not alone in thinking this way.
The guy is American and I’m from the UK, so maybe there is no point in messaging him? But I’m fairly young, 26, single, no DC, so I hope to get a fair bit of travelling under my belt (hopefully) in the future, so it’s not as if I’m tied to only meeting someone from the UK. I have been to where he is from before and would like to go again! It is exciting going on a date with someone when your visiting another country. Last year I went out for the night with a Canadian guy I met in Canada whilst on vacation and i really enjoyed the experience of going out with a guy from another country!
Anyway, sorry for the rambling. Would appreciate some input on this......
