I know other folks around here have been relating their experiences with online dating and all...So although I have been texting with the longer term guy again for about a week, I have continued to talk to other men online. And I've gotten several men sending me messages which is kind of cool. However, I knew eventually I would get trolled by someone and I did today. Well, he contacted me a few days ago but today started asking about things sexual and I probably did not give him the answer he wanted so he has ghosted. I'm trying to learn from my experiences! (I got trolled by a guy back in March when I was being stupid and naive).
Anyway...I don't want to put all my efforts in the longer term guy I had been talking to for 4 months who went away for a month (June/July) and is now back talking to me...and he is talking again as if nothing had happened. I am wary of him and I am doing my best to be cool. I just really had hoped before that things would work out with him is all. We will see what happens this time.

A place for single people to connect on the internet, sort of like a dating site. No descrimination: man-woman, woman-woman, man-man. Just for lonely big-hearted people to talk & maybe share pics. No smut or inappropriate material please. Mutual respect & tolerance are mandatory.

Several people on here said their emails get no response on dating websites.

I meant a place for those of us who are relating our stories of online dating, not a place here on the PC website to meet people to date. Sort of a Horror Stories of Online Dating section. I was sort of joking to be honest.

Here's a funny one-- my friend posted her profile pix of her ten years younger, fifty pounds lighter, and wearing lingerie. When her date came over, he took one look at her and stormed off shouting he was going to sue her for false advertising!

Oh my goodness!!! that's too funny. I'm sorry for your friend she had to have been upset but still, that other person is going to see you eventually (you hope) and best to be truthful.

I had a date with a lady a couple of years ago and her profile pic was quite old. she came up to me outside the cinema and at a coffee she said 'would you have recognized me'. Me being Mr Tactful said ' no, probably not'..... DOH.... and her face dropped (even more, haha....no just kidding)I thought the date went pretty well. coffee, film and a fish and chip meal. Although I must say that I didn't really fancy her I liked her personality and though we spoke on the phone it kind of petered out. I would have liked to have kept her as a friend for days out and a laugh but we lost touch.

Yeah, I agree. I've been struggling with online dating (and dating apps, etc.) for well over six years now in two different major metros. It's frustrating because everyone will allude to how you should craft a profile and approach things in a very generalistic fashion, but when you inquire about any syntax that could get empirically applied, the discussion gets dodgy.

I hate the medium, to be perfectly honest. I get the feeling that it's a photography contest (at least from the male perspective) more than it is trying to sync up with the right partner with the similar perspectives, lifestyles, and relationship goals. Online, at least, you can find people who are single. Are they going to give you the time of day? Probably not. I'm three plus years without a date. I figure I'll be a 150 years old by the time I marry. FML.

Why do it then, right? Well, the craptastic part of it all is that it's the only way I've gotten a date in well... over a decade now. I just don't ever meet available women in my regular goings on anymore. I don't have the right friends, I don't know the right places to be, my work associations is a dry well (everyone is taken).

Man no luck with the ladies, sorry hun I do have a boyfriend but I'm living with my parents and children after an awful divorce. I still own my home with lights on (because Im crazy) just kids are my number one. I meet up with him on facebook after 12 years from knowing him in high school. Sorry keep going on about myself it's really hard I agree for people to meet. I don't want person for their looks that will fade away I want to have a best friend in them and care about me. We have dated for 3 years now and I still only see or be with him every other weekend when my kids are away to dads. I don't allow myself close friends even because I'm selfish with my time after work it's my babies. I was wondering what's something you like? Hobbies or interests and seems like in knowing that and going out or around those types of women might be a suggestion

My only hobby I put any time into at the moment is writing/playing progressive metal music, which I don't really throw much time at these days as I'm freelancing while looking for permanent work. There aren't many women into technical/heavy music anyway.

That's off topic, in any case. I believe the point of the O.P. was to make a thread specifically for online dating solutions.

[Bluemoonbrowneyes]

Right on... I'm new at this and just reading and processing before I throw anymore jumbo out there. I like to try to help others. Also I have not much experience ver
