Match.com (Volume 6)

[Ki3r]

Girl from Tinder went no where. She spent the whole time talking about how busy she was. Sorting a date and the cancelling it at the last minute.

Didn't bother with trying to sort a third date.

Talking to a couple of others from POF. One date sorted for Sunday. 20 year old.

Other one is 26, but seems to have gone quiet in the last day or two. Will wait and see.

Think I'm getting the hang of this internet dating malarkey. The other day went for a coffee date with a cute 20 year old which turned into 5 hours including dinner etc. Then spent that night in bed with a feisty 31 year old

I loved it for the cpl of years I was on the prowl. Match was target rich for willing milfs but it was a feckin nightmare keeping track of them. I had 6 on the go at one time, either dating or chatting so remembering who had kids, names, important crap to them to remember to ask them about was getting ridiculous. I ended writing index cards for each one with pers dets on so i could quickly bone up on Jane, Sue, Carol or whatever before i met or called them. Its an old squaddie thing we had from doing Banner tours in NI so came in very useful for keeping up with things. Was all worth it for the gash that got ploughed. Great fun.
PoF became the flesh pit of choice for an easy run. I got ripped apart by a fit as fook 45+ married aeroplane blonde of the cheshire sett variety who invited me round to her gaff within a day of starting chatting. Never even got her real name but an epic blow job in the hallway of her house as soon as I got through the door, then made use of the stairs before she booted me out before hubby came home. Pure filth that woman.
Last time i was online i met someone over 3 years ago & we got married earlier this year. Yeah it works & its a great laugh if you play the game like they do but there are plenty looking for something 'real' I just lucked out big time meeting the new missus.

Not posted for ages, as nothing to report. Had a date with someone off Tinder on Wed evening, went well, but no spark there for either of us I think. Anyway, just had the quickest date set up ever on PoF, 20mins from first message to agreeing to meet this afternoon. Awkward thing is it's at the same place as the Tinder date

I ended up going on a date with two people (different times!) to the same place which was just around the corner from where the first women lived. Second time we sat in pretty much the same place. Bit weird.

Had a first date with someone from POF today. Went for a walk along the quay. Think it went ok. No awkward silences, lots of laughing.

Hoping that there will be a second one.

Hope you wore your 3 piece again.

[Ki3r]

Of course. Couldn't find my shoes though so ended up in flip flops. Got a terrible tan line now!

[big dub]

No luck with the PoF date. Let's see how many years it is till the next one.

I'm racing this weekend (sat/sun), after that she's in the US on business until the 28th... I can do the weekend after that though...
I can't do weeknights (I work 1100-2300). Then the weekend after that I go on holiday, then I come back on the Friday but race the weekend after that...

It's not an excuse, its just a downside of living a busy life - and also just bad luck that this is happening around the times we're both away. I really wasn't that interested but she's a really nice girl and I want to will see her again, it will just be longer than I'd like!

How are things going? Has the lady come back from her trip and seen you again yet?

I wouldn't worry about that, I used to use the same bars every week, just wink at the barmaid, they know the score.

[Rh14n]

Until your date is the barmaid's mate

[SpunkyGlory]

Also, be careful if your date is the bar manager. Don't be surprised if you find yourself escorted from the premises on your next visit along with getting banned, if you decide not to see her again...

Thats living very dangerously... I always choose a spot that was nowhere near a place I could accidentally meet a another woman I was seeing. At one stage it was 3 on the go at the same time and that was difficult to keep in check as they always wanted to visit highgate or islington.

Two matches on tinder tonight both quite chatty. Both send a word for word identical message about meeting friend in pub who is going to flake. Then follow up saying have to run. Then both say "Damn I have to run, can you add me here http://tindweb.com/connect/m2015"

What's that all about as I'm sure not going to click it!!!

Not safe for work! Semi nude pics.
Wants you to register for a free profile.

So do they get commission?

They don't exist.

Chatbots.

Anyone else that's a 5-6/10 looks wise getting any luck at all on Tinder? Or POF/OkCupid for that matter?

I probably get 5 matches a week, 4 will ignore me when I message. Even worse on the sites, almost all messages ignored. Those that chat for a few days go quiet when I ask them out for a coffee/drink, or are busy or whatever.

Huge proportion of ladies on Tinder are pretty fit, leads me to suspect they hide the ugly ones and so would they be doing the same for men.

Not sure there's much I can do, I'm trying the same thing all the time expecting a different result - the definition of insanity. I'm taking care of myself pretty well, nice clothes etc., pictures doing fun stuff. Nice messages, cocky messsages, nothing works. Nice girls, chav rubbish and anything in between, young women, middle aged, thin, fat, even those with kids (just to see what'd happen). Nothing works.

Never had an issue on Tinder, or PoF for that matter.

Sounds familiar...

I'm not a bad looking bloke (or so I've been told, had plenty of attention when I was a little younger), now in my early 30's (ish ) and having been single for a number of years, it's hard meeting anyone. Working in a company with a 30-2 male-female split doesn't help (the 2 women are married and divorced/50's). Don't get me wrong, I'm fully happy being single, but some things in life are better with someone else

Only started messaging a few on POF recently but my god it's soul destroying!

Indeed it is. I've only just really got back in to it, been single a month or so after finally having the courage to split with my ex. Been in the pipeline for 4 months or so, but by god I didn't realise how stty I'd feel and how hard it is still living in the same house together... or how different someone can become!

Saying that, POF hasn't changed. For every 10-15 messages you might get 1 reply. For every 5 replies you might get one date so it's a long drawn out process. Tinder is a new one for me and I have to say, completely useless. Not a single conversation and only a handful of matches.
