Introduce the L word, but gently.

I love how you look tonight.
I love how you laugh.
I really love your tits.

See how she responds.

[fttm canada]

Make sure you go in with both eyes wide open , not just the one like you are used to .

Get steaming then blurt it out at 3am in some Spanish back alley. That's what I did and it didn't do me any harm.

You can also deny it/blame it on the drink in the morning if need be.

I was waiting for you to come out with a different strategy.

I half expected you to say “get your hole” and stop thinking or something like that

Speaking of yer Nat King, that would probably be the worst time to tell her you love her, just after you've blown your beans

That’s better !

Just say slowly I love..... And if you see her start to recoil just say Rishi Sunak

pof getting worse.

Now 30% or so of the female profiles say "theyre into messages from mutual matches send them a like" you cant message them until you send a like and obviously they like back,

Yet woman complain how hard dating is. insane.

Hard to think of another area that has become so much worse in such a short time.

One unifying factor appears to be Match. Everything they buy turns to unusable st. Okcupid used to be a cool place until they arrived. POF was always a pit but was kind of usable. Match itself has now dumped conventional searching and is 50% one sentence scammers.

It's like they're actively trying to repel customers which is an interesting approach.

What about Tinder? I think I must have reported about 30 fake accounts in one session the other day - they all have a bio reference to something like 'I'm on Match Naked... etc'. There are dozens of them every day.

Match became a pita when they also went over to single profile swiping rather than a general search option.

Good news though I noticed the other day if you go on their website (rather than the app) search function has a full list of profiles back again, with the added option of "online now" also returned, problem still is you have to scroll down through all the chunky ones as they have still not added back the "search by body shape" option, still better than left swiping tons of them for ages until you get to at least one half decent profile.

Ah. That's progress. They must've had an absolute tidal wave of complaints to roll that back.

I'd love to know what the success rate of these fakes are, and what success looks like.

They're basically identical so scrollers will immediately dismiss all of them. No one's going to decide identical bot number 178 is clearly their future wife unless there's something seriously wrong with them.

Or maybe they're planted by the site operators and the goal is to get you to cough up.

You're still going to dismiss them.

Thanks to all for the advice on the L word, turns out the situation resolved itself!
Making her a cup of tea, we were discussing overused phrases when she mentioned couples that say "I love you" but don't really mean it.
I asked what she'd think if I said it right now and did mean it, because I'd been wanting to say it for a while.
She replied she'd been thinking just the same.
We both said it, meant it and embraced.
I'm very happy this evening

I'm more positive. Sounds to me like a declaration by two people who are keen on each other. I'm hopeful that things will be good.

Ouch, that's a low blow Paul.S

But seriously, some people are more lovey-dovey than others, I was like that with the first girl I dated and she loved it. "I like doing the dating with you because you are very gentle-man, like Mr Darshee"

I got a lot of confidence from that girl.
