I got her number at the end - how long should I leave it before I text her and what should I say?
I'd recommend not telling her that you're so st at human relationships that you had to pose that question to a bunch of unknown saddos on the internet.

FFS - text her now, tell her you enjoyed seeing her and ask her out again. Rocket science/not.
I can see how this is going to go :P

Still not sure if I'd want anything out of it so didn't want to come across as too keen, hence why I asked!

Sent a text a few mins ago and now returning to bed with the worlds biggest hangover!
Well?
It's going well... I'm still unsure whether I want anything from it but she's a lovely girl, I'll see how it goes this week! smile

As you didn't seal the deal last night, a c0ck pic when you got home was the correct answer

I can only think of two reasons and neither good

I also wonder if its a wind up as she seems unusually articulate, albeit too wordy for a POF lass. Makes a refreshing to change to "ask me lol" in the 'about me' section

She seems a bit demanding.

She accepts no compromise on some fairly simple things, doesn't show a photo and won't give her name out.

She's not worth it.

Possibly, but consider the photo aspect alone. I have seen lasses from work on POF and have said nothing. Imagine you saw a female work colleague on there, or a neighbour or a parent of one of your kids friends and the text says her clacker has been Rod Rammaged, or she has HIV or whatever the reason. I think she is trying to be both honest and discrete at the same time. Maybe she had the op and changed her mind, maybe it all fell out after childbirth, either way its not something youd want public knowledge. So she has a choice - post pictures and save the awkward conversations for later or state it as it is now with no photos. Sounds like she tried the latter and it didn't work out. I actually feel quite sorry for her if what she has said is genuine.

You make a very good point on the lack of photos. I didn't think of that.

However it was more the rest of the text that concerned me. She talks about how perfect anyone would have to be to get anywhere near her. It seems that she wants a combination of George Clooney's looks, Stephen Hawking's intellect and the submissive, soft qualities of Frank Spencer.

Maybe that's reasonable, but she will be in difficulty if she can't overlook the odd flaw. I just think that if I replied to her advert (I'm in direct contradiction of some of her requirements anyway) I would be driven crazy by her demands.

Then again, maybe her requirements are more flexible in reality than she makes out.

So got a date on the cards now - anyone got any good suggestions on where I can take her in London? Not sure if its day or evening yet so open to suggestions for both? I'd originally thought of the zoo - 1) I wouldn't mind going to the zoo, not been for years and 2) we were talking a lot about animals so it sort of links into that.
If it makes a difference, we're both in our early 20s.

A bar is always the easiest for an evening. At least then there is no pressure at all, and its very easy to go your separate ways if needed. I would keep something more interesting for a second date.

Don't worry, I've only been single (and hence back on this thread) about 2 months, give me a couple more and i'll start asking why all women on POF are obviously lesbians.....

Its quite an odd profile she has, open about her own issues and yet detailed and specific about what she wants. I'm not suggesting that just because she can't have sex means she should compromise on things that are key to her, but we all have to compromise to a degree and her profile suggests she is unwilling. She also mentions how much she loved being pregnant, perhaps clarifying in her own mind she did enjoy the whole child birth thing and maybe that was the cause of the physical inability. Seems an off self justification in a profile

I don't actually live that fat away from her, 45 mins drive maybe in good traffic and I am sorely tempted and she is hugely intriguing. That may say more about the calibre of messages I get from POF than her herself. Last one I received for example

Her: Hi, how you doing?
Me: Good thanks, I've had a good day out riding with kids, was going to have a bbq but weather put paid to that so indoor grill instead and watched a movie before their bed. How are you?
Her : I'm good, you?

If you're doing evening, and I would, this place worked for me last time: http://www.foundation-bar.co.uk/

Right next to the station, a decent level of background noise so you can chat freely, it's a bit darker (but not too) with plenty of spots to sit out of the way to build up some intimacy and the dress code from everyone else was fairly varied. The drinks were reasonably priced too!

If everything in her profile is true, she sounds like an interesting person. I'm not a member of POF and I'm not looking for a relationship.

I feel sorry for her having suffered whatever it is that she has suffered rather than anything. I suppose it could be one of those tests to see if someone is looking for her rather than just sex. I have no idea either way.

However from reading her profile I can tell that she would find me intolerable and I wouldn't particularly get on with her, so it would be a waste of time to bother making contact. I don't hold anything against her, however.

I'm also quite a few years younger than her.


And yes, that's what I hear from friends on dating sites. I've used Tinder occasionally when very bored and it's definitely the same there from my experience.

So you're talking about animals and want to take her to the zoo... How old is she really?

If she is of drinking age I'd side with the others and suggest a bar wink

Best to pick and area over a venue, have 3-4 places in mind and hop after every drink - turns the evening into more of an adventure and as you're bouncing around town rather than just sat opposite each other all night.

Pick a decent area as close to your pad as possible and make sure you've got a good bottle on wine chilling for when you bring her back. Earlier bar hopping should ensure a mutual reduction of inhibitions.

8pm is the perfect time to meet up as town won't be too mental yet and it will give her time to sort her st out. One mate went off a guy because he suggested meeting at 7, no girl will ever be ready by 7 for a date.

Had a good POF one on Friday. 5'1, managed to match me drink for drink, told me she "wasn't one of those fking feminists" before leaping on my lap and declaring she wasn't wearing any knickers. Cute, fair bit younger than me, decent job and plays GTA. I'm in love.
