Seriously, best of luck with it all - lord knows it's tough finding the right gal!
I know of 2 people that have met their now wives initially through online dating...it seems to be the way nowadays.
...for the record, I personally haven't been on a "date" since 1995 - but then again we've been together over 17 years now and married for the last 3 and a half.
Don't worry, its okay!
As i said before, if she wants to meet again cool - if not then its back to the drawing board!:grin:
Also, she has an impressive rack! I wouldn't mind getting my hands on them!:lol:
Well, i've not heard anything from her since the date on Thursday despite sending 2 messages so i'm going to assume she doesn't want to see me again, ah well.
A bit confused though as we swopped numbers, so why does she not want to see me again? Very strange:sad:

Don't come on too strong man, girls don't like it.....despite always saying they like caring men :lol:
Best advice i can offer is decide up front what YOU want to get out it, it might be crude but if you're a little rusty at this then maybe aim for a one nighter or just some nice female company to start with....try and keep it friendly and relaxed so they're comfortable. Not sure what dating site you're on but best advice is to focus on the girls who approach YOU for chat/date etc....those one's are almost in the bag already after all.
As for date advice, pay for things where you can....a little old fashioned chivalry never goes amiss, pay a few compliments and try and ask questions about them...what they do/like etc etc everyone likes to feel that the other person is interested in them and the more they feel good about being in your company the more likely you can achieve a morale boosting encounter
Also if you're a little nervous then suggest pub meets for around 9pm....that way if things are a struggle you only need to get through a couple of hours tops.....and if things go well then, hey she might live nearby, worst case you'll leave her wanting more innit
That probably sounds horribly cold and calculating but key thing is to look after numero uno if you're rusty....view the first few as practice runs, you'll soon pick up the vibes and then once you're confident/comfortable with it all then you'll find it much easier
Match girls are easier, E Harmony ones will tend to be more "keepers" but they're both rip offs, the hardest thing will be the lack of shared experiences - so I still say it's best to find your missus from your own circle of friends/work etc....but the dating scene is a good way of keeping you in practice
Finally, be yourself....but maybe hold off telling them about your love of 8 bit computers til say date number 3 at least :lol:

She obviously reads WoS, and in particular this thread...

well it was prolly easier to swap the number than have a difficult convo about why she didn't want to see you again. but i agree its a bit poor that she hasn't replied.

Yeah, i wouldn't have minded if she didn't want to see me again but no replying is plain rude. At least i'd know where i stand.
This is my third rejection this year, i'm beginning to think theres something wrong with me!:sad:
Best way to meet girls is join a sports club or evening class. I find s girls who like a bit of activity enough to want to join a sports club 'tend' to be more genuine and less trashy.
Parties are also good, but if you don't have the opportunity of many parties then its no good.

well if they are agreing to go on date you cant be that bad to look at.

There are plenty of girls out there!
in the worst case, this experience helped clean the rust out of you
you should go and set 3 dates for next week, be bold, envite them out, think about getting laid and not about girls who are girlfriend material... it sounds rude, but all of my best relations started with girls that I just wanted to take to bed, and then something started out of it.
most of the times I was nice and polite, things didn't turn out that well (mostly with me doing something ridiculous like sending flowers to her house/office, and never get a call back).
the thing is: girls are just like us, if you're cool talking, having drinks & in the sack than it's more than halfway to a good relation!
wouldn't worry about it.. her loss.. go fishing again..
it's more funny when you spot women you know in real life on dating sites and well it's a MASSIVE dose of jackanory about what they do etc.. I had women at work twig I was on a site, a few of them made fake profiles and thought it "funny" to gossip about me.. and because I've always lived in London sadly sometimes the world is really a small place.
I've decided to keep trying but my confidence has taken a bit of a dent.
There must be someone out there, just a matter of time before i find them or they find me.....

*KNOCK* *KNOCK* "Are you Sarah Connor?" :razz: Just kidding man...
As for the confidence knock, well it's like riding a bike - quite literally sometimes! - each disappointment for you is also one for them, don't dwell on it.

chin up man, practice makes perfect....and it is a weird set up on these dating sites which doesn't help....remember that until you meet in the flesh you are dealing with a stranger, don't get too attached to some text and a few carefully chosen pics on a website

be careful......
Only kidding old boy.

Just got this one today
"Good to see you. I've got a guide for you today that we learn you are to going to love. Ever yours, [ENG_FIRST_NAME] Richards"
I might get lucky :razz:
Thats the problem - i don't have a personality!:lol:

It may have been a mistake to mention that to her on a first date!
