Air stewardess ? 5 days? what route(s) is she on? Unfortunately I think its fair to say she's not interested. Don't call back, don't text, don't email, don't call round, don't do anything regarding contacting this lady again. Chalk it down to experience and move onto the next date. Plenty more fish. Have fun :smile:
Not necessarily, a friend who is an air steward often does long haul flights (say to Vegas) and can be away for more than a week at a time, whilst over there, they'll do internal flights till due to come home. So 5 days and over is the norm.

Yes I can, Yes I am, Yes I did...Repeat.
I went on several interweb dates...mostly they were like a job interview...
you get to suss people out very quickly...mostly they are playing a game, looking to improve their home/bank balance, or just get laid and run...all of which I find insulting. They have this ideal guy in their minds and you can see them mentally ticking off each item on their list..zzzzzzzzzzz I make a decision within 2 minutes mostly ...the rest is just being polite before I leave. There are exceptions, but mostly people arnt who they claim to be. id rather they cut the crap and were themselves, that wins more browny points than all the war paint, heels, flash bmw's and sob stories about how bad their ex treated them and how he deserved to loose every penny he had..blah blah blah..how they don't really drink because its only a bottle of wine a night...how they don't smoke (since last week)...yada yada yada...

...now if she rolled upon a bicycle that would get my attention....if she could ride it i'd defo be interested....if she could fix it id marry her:rolleyes::laugh:
 
My brother-in-law divorced some years ago and is a regular Internet dater. He loves it and swears by it, but his children find the regular turn-over of women slightly taxing.

My wife and I keep noting (but not to him) that no internet site on Earth would have paired us up. In almost every sense but the fact that we get on and enjoy one another's company, we are utterly different. We listen to different music, vote for different parties, like different furniture, watch different telly, like different films, read different books, have different friends, have different hobbies and even (gardening) where we like the same thing we disagree about plants, fruit and vegetables we ought to grow. She rarely rides a bike and I rarely swim and never go to the gym. She does both. From that complete lack of date-match similarity, we've reached 20 years of marriage following several years cohabiting.

Can computers really be trusted to match people on the basis of data that may anyway be stretched or fabricated?

Is computer dating not just (at one level or another) a random scatter-gun approach with some fairly hard-nosed first-sight-assessment going on behind the smiles?

I don't want to sound like a 'smug married', (which of course I may not be at any moment according to statistics) but it seems to me that for every computer-match success there will be a gazillion non-successes.

Is it not a bizarre way to meet people unless you really are just looking for some physical release?

Apologies to all those who have found true love on the Internet and think me a grumpy old cynic.

...A grumpy old 6'2", slim, wealthy, charming cynic with all his own hair, a Maserati and an apartment in the 1ere Arrondissement.
