Internet dating - Can I have some tips please?

[Yurtgirl]

Truly innocent of how to go about this

How can I find men to chat to online - obviously would prefer "quality" rather than scarey/married/losers

I should point out that I am single and bored!

oh i'm on a break right now

pof = plentyoffish

rofl at pof bein an mn abbreviation

but otoh maybe it should be

I also met DH online - Udate was the site we used.
Women with a picture will get loads of responses, the trick is weeding out the frogs!
I disagree about agreeing quick dates, I think emailing for a while can tell you quite a bit about someone, and if they are willing to be a bit patient and get to know you a bit, that has to be good, right?
Having said that, I did meet a few who I got on with on email but there was no spark in real life.
Be safe, and meet in a busy place, through the day to begin with. Always tell someone where you are going, and get a friend to call and check you are ok.
Good luck! I had a great time, although didn't expect to meet someone who cost me a fortune in flights to another country! It was worth it though.

i think lunch is a better option than an evening meet

agree with the meeting during the day if you can at first - I like to go for a coffee in town normally (that way if it's not good you can drink your cuppa and leave sharpish! lol)

also have a get out if you can with a friend or family member, as in I tell my mum or aunty everything I know about the person (job mob no name rough location etc) and then if I send my aunty the letter H we have for help then she'll ring i'll make excuses and leave. (but only do that if the date's in a pub on a night) most have been ok apart form one where I was sat watching the clock for 2 hours! lol. so deffo set that thing up!
