no 2 is probably married or attached and doesn't want to get rumbled.
You know that is what I was thinking. That and the fact she won't text me, its all via POF still (she has my number).

Might just ask her outright and see what she says.
Does it matter? To you I mean.

If yes, ignore; her conduct so far is hardly the basis of a 'sensible' relationship.
If no, don't ask. See her when she fancies it and try and shag her brains out.
indeed. There is very rarely a normal and acceptable reason for weird behaviour. Still surprises me when I hear people describe confusion at why someone they've just met goes through periods of not getting in contact or answering messages, why they cancel at the last minute etc etc. You're the 'side bh'!

I got cuffed recently, because she came after me and she's older I refer to her jokingly as the Cougar, she's come out of a marriage, I've never been married and have been through several relationships so she refers to me as a 'Player'.
I'm not a player, we're in bed post coital and she's saying I am, I'm trying to convince her I'm not. Anyhow, it's time for her to go home so I ring a taxi firm I haven't used in years to pick her up. The guy on the other end of the line somehow recognises my number and without me even telling him refers to me by name and says he will send a car out to me at No.22, Xxxx St.
She gives me one of those looks.

I know some firms store your number so they know the default address. However the weirdest one I've had is some friends coming to a party at my place, and when they gave the taxi driver my address he knew it was me, talked about how many rooms there were etc. As far as I know I've never had a taxi driver in my house... Still no idea how he knew.

Yes I think your number goes through some kind of computerised recognition system when you ring, they must keep records for years though, I think it was maybe 4yrs or more since I called them. All my attempts to convince her otherwise about me were flattened in one phone call, not without some humour though. smile

In your case maybe previous tenants or maybe when the house was up for sale perhaps?

..... but I really cannot think of what to say in a message. No point sending something too short but no point in an essay either when you probably won't get a reply....
Whilst others point out it's a numbers game also be picky yourself and then take the extra time to read their profile and mention something that they've said in your shortish msg to them. I found that this massively increased the chances of them writing back as it looks like you took genuine interest, not just sending out 100's of spam type "you're hot" emails to every girl on there.

Well number three I've not heard from since Friday or Saturday.

Number two hasn't replied to my last message last night but has been online.

Messaged someone last night, ended up being someone I deliver to with work and used to go to school with. Got chatting and shes invited me around somewhen. Sadly I'm working all week and not too sure when I'm free next week yet.

We all work.

Make an effort and get it booked. If you work nights, suggest a coffee or something.

I was beginning to wonder as my experience was disappointing. Having messaged about 60 I got 3 "thank you, but no thank you" which is fair enough. The other few replies were scammers, hookers or 60 year olds looking for toyboys. Some profiles are invented by the web sites as well. I reckon though that a lot of the women are not really looking or only want Pitt/Clooney/Craig lookalikes.

The dating sites are a great business plan. Take the money with no comebacks if it doesn't work.

I think it also depends where you are. In big cities the reply rate will be smaller since there's a lot more competition. I probably have got a reply rate of something like 40-50% for my first message, but there's a much smaller population here so less options available. However in terms of meeting in person then it's a lot smaller due to distances involved.

Waits for the Cockney Cue ball to waltz in, declare a reply rate of 98% in London, and a reply to rape rate of 92%, the other 6% declaring themselves to actually being a Lesbian after only their third Vat of Chianti. biggrin

I'm watching you you filthy scat fiend hehe

Nope, 1 in 5 if you play it right and are cheeky/lucky/beautifully balding. Differs from site to site, pick your victims wisely.

I've no profiles now anyway and am now a dinosaur of the dating scene biggrin

Although there are still some in play from the summer's Tinder terrorism.

Women two has got back in contact after the weekend. Supplied a photo and things are looking promising.

Got talking to another. Turns out I deliver to her with work and used to be in the same year at school.

However, she appears to be showing signs on the mental already.

She asked what I was upto yesterday, I was going to the cinema after work. First thing she said was 'it's not a date is it?'

It wasn't sadly, best friend from college, and I have tried with her in the past, but nothing.

Then today I saw there is recruitment for my dream job. It would mean moving 40/50 miles away, to which she says 'no you can't move away from me'.

I made the mistake of not applying for a job last year because of a women, and not going to do it again, but warning signs are going off already.

She's also rather needy with messages if I haven't replied quickly. Despite knowing I was at the cinema I got three texts from her.

I just want someone half normal frown.

It won't work, normal people attract normal people.

Just accept that you're always going to get crazy and deal with it, I have.

I somehow don't think putting 'no nut jobs, psychos' will do me any favours lol.

Thing is I was tempted to meet up with one of them, but after all this I'm scared I'll never be able to leave.

Won't be leaving the condom at hers if it gets that far! Can just see it 'yeah I stuck a turkey baster up my with your cum inside...your trapped'.

Possibly a bit ott...
