Talking about internet

[Hill Wimp]

Some men, and i have met one, get jealous of a girls pets. He was and still is a complete kno**er

I once chatted up a bloke for a Turkish colleague of mine on an Internet dating site. Her written English wasn't very good and it looked rather stilted and uninteresting.

I must have done a good job because they are still together seven years later.

He still doesn't know the whole story of how they got together.

When he met her he probably thought "you're much more interesting in real life than you are when you write..."

A bird in the hand......

Internet dating has worked for me on many occasions!

But now seriously settled with a lady I met on a dating site. Four and a half years and getting stronger and better.

I suppose it's the same, whether it's live in the flesh or online: be honest with yourself and with the one you're interested in, and have realistic expectations.

and an 'introduction fee' ?

Lol I will have to take your word for it

A work contact has joined an internet dating site, her first date was a disaster apparently he was nothing like his picture or description, the 2nd didn't happen because 'his car broke down and was in the garage over the weekend'. She is still looking and is just enjoying chatting to people. When her son was very young her husband kicked them both out so she has been a single working mum for a long time, son has grown up and is dating so now she wants a life of her own.

Yes, I started this week. Already had a reply that was fake( S. African Scammers) . Had one date, which was nice.
I really don't know what to do next, keep window shopping or follow through.

Follow through with the nice one. You've got nothing to lose, you'll regret letting a decent one slip through your fingers. It's easy to be like a kid in a sweet shop with the Internet dating thing, all depends what you want.

 

[BigonaBianchi]

I'm not sure following through with a nice one is a good idea.

 

[Velo711]

Why?, Life is a game of chance innit.

I've tried internet dating before. Doesn't work for me because I can't sell myself. Last time I tried I sent some fifty messages in a month, all individually written, and got zero replies.

Yet both relationships I've had came of the internet. A girl I knew from a forum said she was going to a gig in Cambridge. I liked the band anyway so drove down to introduce myself. She didn't seem interested but we started going out a couple of months later. A while after that ended another girl browsing Myspace profiles messaged me out of the blue. That broke down just shy of two years.

Real life hasn't fared well either. The last girl I attempted to flirt with emigrated...

...she would have gone anyway...best off rid of her...sounds to.me like you are trying to hard? Just get on with.bring you and being the best you can be and let the law of attraction do its thing.

Nah, it's nothing at all like that. It's a running joke among my ukulele mates. Somebody joined in at one of our uke nights, in trying to make conversation I complimented her accent, getting it completely wrong and she happened to leave the country shortly after.

Being single doesn't bother me that much. I'm not looking and I haven't been found. Plenty of other things to tie up my time and money!

I thought the OP was about internet dating, not retail therapy and bowel movements?
