Big Dub - you may be the catch of the century and imagine that she should be constantly hanging on to her phone waiting to hear from you and to reply to any message within 1 minute but life really isn't like that. Chill out, you sound rather desperate!

[king arthur]

You're over thinking it. People don't spend their lives glued to the computer or phone - well not everyone anyway. Maybe these girls have lives and you are at best just someone they feel may be worth chatting to, but not important enough to get excited about every time you message them - not yet at least.

Hardly, I'm really not that bothered if they don't contact me, what I don't like are games. If they they think the 'treat them mean, keep them keen' things works, they've picked the wrong person.
I don't expect them to message back within the hour, I understand people have busy lives, but I think most people would mention before hand that they can't message during work hours. But giving your number then not messaging is just plain strange.

How old are you and the women in question?

All of the women in their 20s I know ARE glued to their phones 24/7 so I suspect it may be just 'the game' they're playing.

[big dub]

I'm 42 and she's 40

[NNK]

First date with a lovely lady last Friday, I'm a confident guy but even I thought I was punching above my weight.
Two hours in and I had to go, a migraine, the first in 10 years. I presumed that would be it but I apologised by text and we continued chatting, met on Sunday for a drink at 2pm which carried on until 10.
Dinner Monday, drinks last night and seeing her again tonight. That may sound overkill but I am coming back to UK for two weeks tomorrow so we may as well get hooked before I go.

I had 2 missed WhatsApp calls from her this morning, so messaged back to apologise, she read that and didn't reply! WTF.....

Booty call.

Haha, you can only hope.

I often don't get back to girls for a few days and expect the same back. Unless you've been seeing them for a bit don't invest.

Had a date with an actual midget the other day, apparently qualifies by an inch or so. Into mixed martial arts and hula hooping. You've got to love internet dating.

Date sorted for Saturday with another interesting one (cute painter decorator into guns and video games!?) then a date with a 23 year old total stunner though lists interests including feminism, poetry and social mobility. Should be fine if I don't open my mouth.

Shaping up to be an interesting week, may not meet a future wife but should have some interesting stories to tell

Went looking through some mens POF profiles to check out the competition, JESUS 99% are terrifying.

You sure do pick 'em. An actual midget, a stunning 23 year old feminist (aka probable lesbian, at the very least a man hater), and a painter and decorator who like guns.... Think I'll pass on them all and go party with some freshers.

[Jagmanv12]

34 years old and says all her children are over 18.??

[martin mrt]

I think I may give this online dating at try, I split up with my sons mother just over 2 years ago and have seen 3 people since then, none of which have been very successful

I'm just not terribly sure how to approach it, what to mention/not to mention, I'm a relatively confident guy broadly speaking, but when it comes to females, I'm utterly hopeless unless I've had a few beers.

Ha I did that a while back, and came to the conclusion there wasn't much competition. Their profiles were awful, not constructive and most were the same, tattooed gym bunnies that love Nandos and getting smashed every weekend.
I think that's why I got so much attention.

[sunnydude]

Anyone here on eharmony?

I don't think they use much of an algorithm as such (maybe at the start, but i'm pretty sure it turns into random selections once they've gone through all the suitable matches)

[steelbreeze]

I was on eHarmony but didn't get any matches within 100 miles. Bit weird since I live in Essex - hardly the back of beyond.

[CountZero23]

Shockingly the date with feminist went well. Managed to navigate a variety of gender based topics by mainly smiling and nodding. After drinking my way through the previous nights hangover ened up back at mine with her.

It would appear she doesn't hate men as much as I'd assumed...

[pincher]

She's just using you to experiment

The midget fits the description of a friend of my sister's. Could quite well be the same person.

If it is, don't continue too long

"Hello guys

My name is XXXXXXXXXX and I am on here looking for Mr Wright. I am a mum of 3 beautiful children and They all have different fathers but don't worry about the baby daddy drama because none of them see there dad. After my bankruptcy I have turned a fresh leaf and I am looking for a lovely black man to settle down with and my kids can call dad, I split with my baby's father when I was pregnant and he doesn't no his dad so I want you to be my kids father and treat them like yours. I'm white on the outside and black inside, I can whine up my waste and booty, as good as a black woman. I can curry my mutton, jerk my chicken and nock up a good Saturday soup. I have been out, dated and met up with most of the black men from Birmingham on this site and from Birmingham generally so I need a man further a way, I do drive so it's not a problem but because of the kids I can't stay over. So out of town men preferbly lol. "


A keeper for sure...

If there's no allure in that, you must be gay!

[CountZero23]

Frankly she can do anything wants to me. Anything.

Absolutely gorgeous, has a bad back due to the size of her Brad Pitts, 23 years old vs my 34, clever and posh.

Arranged to get dinner at a Thai place next week.

Right, I'm off to read some Germaine Greer....

[Jimmy Recard]

That sounds even more like the girl I'm thinking of. It's probably not the same person, but if it is I'd be wary
