UK website recommendations?
Open to all, of course, but probably mostly looking for recommendations from the UK Single peeps, as I imagine the situation is variable between countries! Which dating websites would you recommend/caution against? I have to do *something* to get myself out of the starting blocks on this, and joining clubs/interest…

Advice please...
So .. after much hesitation I reactivated my POF profile. Updated the narrative and pics. 1st guy that messages me is a guy I dated about 4 yrs ago. When I saw the name, I immediately knew it was him. Funny thing is a few weeks ago I just happened to think of him, just wondering whatever happened to him. Back then we dated…

The texting game...
I have a friend who has been doing the online dating for a couple of years, and I am just dabbling in it again after a divorce in May. She informed me that you are supposed to take turns texting. For instance, if he texts me, then I'm supposed to text him next, or he may not ever text me again. I thought that was kind of…

Getting a second chance to make the right decision...
I started online dating to get past my fear of rejection. It's been almost 2 months and I've only had two dates. The first date was harmless... a nice guy I had no chemistry with so I felt no excitement or urge to connect with him. The second date, however, was a different story. Markus seemed to be the nerdy, yet slightly…

Would you have told her? How would YOU wanna be told?
About 4 months ago, I met my friend’s boyfriend of a couple months. A while later, he emailed me through Match.com , asking if I remembered him. I didn’t. He refreshed my memory of how my friend (his girlfriend) introduced us, and told me she was a nice girl but not his speed. He wanted to know if I’d let him take me out…

What it feels like for a girl.
After having some escapades in the dating world over the past couple of months, I realize that girls must have it pretty darn easy when it comes to dating. Example, I dated two girls pretty seriously over the past 6 months. Both were younger than me (5 and 6 years) and everytime we went out, I was always the one who was…

Is he messing with me?
So... as many of you know, I went on a date and have been texting a guy for a while. So over the weekend, he texted me a lot. He always texts me first and we flirt a lot and tells me I'm pretty, yadda, yadda, yadda. So Sunday night, he texts me this long mushy quote about being who you want to be and doing what you want in…

What's your limit? (for online daters)
Do you talk to one person at a time? Several people? Do you put a cap on the number of potential interests you talk to at any given time? Say, you're talking to several, already having a hard time keeping up with who is who, and you get another pursuer, do you ignore that one or let someone else go or just add them to the…

Silly question!
I know this sounds a little crazy, but it's much easier for me to ask these kinds of questions here as opposed to my IRL friends who think I'm not insane :laugh: I've been thinking about this lately, and wondering if anyone else feels the same way. Right now, if a guy rejects me or doesn't like me, I just tell myself it's…

S/He might not be the one if...

Playing Sports
What are the best sports to play with a date or a significant other? What are some of your favorite sports to play on a date? There are the bar sports like billiards and darts. I like darts more than billiards, as I am more skilled in darts than billiards. But billiards can be a good choice. Ice skating can be romantic.…

Rejection
This is actually inspired by some comments made on a thread in another group where a couple of ladies were saying that their dread of rejection extended to the point that they would rarely or never send out a friend request here on MFP for fear of it. I have often stated that I sensed most women seem to have such an…

Pick My Brain (I dare you REALLY)
Seriously today was suppose to be TMI Tuesday, yet the friends I have either know all they need to know about me or they not that good (or just don't) ask questions. So, ask me. Ask me anything. Send me a message in my inbox and I will answer it here (or if you want answer it in the mail) Come on, be bold, be brave, ask…

Ugh, those damn insecurities
I really need a yes or no answer to the following situation. Been talking to his really nice guy for about 3 weeks. We had our first date last Sunday and it went great. He texted me the next day saying he had a really good time. He even asked me Sunday night when we could get together again. I gave him the days I wouldn't…

probable problem
So I met a real nice guy (some may remember), we went out for a nice dinner a few weeks ago. The next day my aunt passed away and he left a sympathy card on my windshield of my car so he didn't wake me. We have seen each other every weekend for the last 3 weeks and talk/text/facebook daily. I get very exited talking to him…

Weight
So this is kind of silly, but just felt like ranting :) Anyone ever wonder if people won't be attracted to them because of their weight?! I've been very insecure of my weight for the past few months and will continue to be until I lose some more. I'm not extremely overweight, but just chubby. I am going on a trip to Israel…

So I joined POF...
I opened a profile, I've had it for two hours. I have one picture (my profile pic from this website that's not revealing at all). All the guys I've messaged so far have done nothing but badger me for topless pics. Ew no thanks. Never going to happen. Is every man on this website a pervert? Seriously... go watch some porn…

Online Daters
I was listening to the radio this morning when the DJ mentioned that James Holmes from the Aurora, CO shootings this past week was on Match.com. His profile has been taken down, by the way. http://www.1035kissfm.com/pages/brofro.html?article=10287104 I just wanted to hear if/how this accusation has effected you dating…

Socially Inept
I just need to vent about myself and social ineptitude. I was at the supermarket today and I noticed an attractive young lady while I was shopping. I was in the snack aisle and she came up and was looking at the same area I was. I found what I was looking for and left. As I'm walking away I keep thinking in the back of my…

In retrospect...
I know the normal tendency is to dog out the people who dumped us or never liked us (though they should because we would have been "sooooo perfect" together), but do you ever go back and think about where you might have been a small part (or a large part) of the problem? I was thinking about some previous relationships and…

How to let someone down gently?
What are some of the things you guys have done or said to let someone down gently? I am a sucker, and hate to hurt anyone's feelings but sometimes, no matter how nicely I try to distance myself, it's not effective enough and I have to end up being harsher than I'd like to be. In particular, there is someone I started…

Any Weekend Plans?
It's friday again! Anyone have any weekend plans? :-)

Why?
I never used to have a problem attracting men. Even when I was heavier, men would still hit on me. But it seems like lately, particularly since I've lost weight, men don't seem to be attracted to me anymore. They might look, but inevitably, have no interest whatsoever. What happened? I'm actually a much happier and more…

Are men really THAT clueless?
I'm texting the guy I went out with last week right now. I asked him what he was doing this weekend. "Oh just running some errands, nothing much." So I say, "Yeah I don't really have any plans this weekend either." So he says, "I'm sure you'll find something to do." I keep on flirting with him and dropping hints, trying to…

Got to giggle

I have had no less than 3 different requests to make someone dinner .They keep asking what my best dish is to lol. I just find it amusing that guys seem awestruck by the fact that I can cook. Then they say my male roommate/ adopted…
