@Kostabi Haha I think I'll leave it in. I'm sure she considers herself marred at this stage anyway. |

You go first, Trafford. I have an update in me. Mostly positive. Yours sounds more important to get out of your system though. -

Shit Trafford, sounds like she paired up with a complete prick. Sorry to read that your ex had to deal with a lot of nasty stuff, and I hope life settles down for her and the kids now she's finally binned the arsehole.

Any fucking cunt who hurts a woman needs a good kicking.
The guy is a lecturer at a university. Well respected environmentalist and vegetarian. A real piece of work.
I'm on the fence about the possible reconciliation, given what happened before, but wish you all the very best for it if you do go for it. -

Registered 13 years agoFuck.
Did 3 months of Tinder / Bumble etc, with a date a week on average, met loads of lovely girls but nothing ever panned out. Got a bit down over it so decided to take a break. Deleted all my accounts and decided to forget about it all 2 weeks ago.
This weekend met an absolutely lovely girl at a party, had the best weekend I have in years, she was fun, well travelled, attractive and we hit it off and spent the whole weekend together.
And she has fucked off for a months backpacking this morning, with a very non committal maybe get in touch when she is back.
Gone from being a bit miz as the kids call it these days, to being optimistic and happiest I have in years, to being fucking gutted in a 5 day period.
I really really hate this fucking dating malarkey. Can get dates easily with people I have mediocre feelings for, but have learned from experience not to pursue as they inevitably fizzle out in antagonism. The moment I meet someone I genuine can see myself having feeling for and have an amazing time in their company.. life does this.

But what if she comes back and it's all good? She might have had this booked in for ages and can't cancel it now.
I'd chalk that up as a great weekend away from the online shite for a change, and it's a potential for down the road.
If not, well, you've still had a good weekend haven't you.
Chin up! -

Registered 13 years agoOh, I have no issues about her going, in fact that was one of the things I found incredibly attractive, travelling is my biggest hobby. It was the way she left. Apparently the weekend was "nice" and she will be in touch when back. Which I suppose is not bad, I just was expecting a little bit more and keeping in touch during the trip.
The perils of expectations. -

Gotta see how these things pan out. Go back packing yourself in the other direction for a few weeks -

Really not my experience. If you can take a half decent picture and have a vaguely interesting life to write a few lines about you really shouldn't have any issue getting dates on these sites.
If you're not of a certain body type, just don't bother with the online stuff. Full of shallow scum.
Can't provide advice on the photo but if you don't have a vaguely interesting life, go out and get one before trying to bring someone else into it.

You just have to swim through a sea of shit (taking plenty of mouth fulls) to get there.
And then it may only last six months.
Meh. -

Registered 17 years agoFair enough. Looking back that may have been a little harsh. Maybe I'm more bitter about the whole thing than I care to admit.

From my own experience of 4 years. I had tried pof, okcupid, match and eharmony. I must had been on about 25 dates in total, and around 3 or 4 I was really into the girl, and it didn't work out, and about the same where they liked me, and I wasn't feeling it. Then this year I met someone on match and we've been together for 6 months now. I wouldn't say I'm loved up, as I'm not really the type of person, but it's definitely worth sticking with it. For me I wasn't looking for the love of my life, and more someone to be with, and riff off of. Just don't take it all so seriously and see what happens. Have no expectations and you won't get hurt. -

This. Been with a girl I met off one of those sites for going on two years now. Took many dates to get to that point and some I was sad at the time didn't work out, but no different from real life. Just an easier way for like minded people to meet.

Like minded generally being, those who are too lazy to make or read a profile, use swiping apps, those who are more serious about knowing your interests, use POF, Match etc. -

Registered 6 years agoGo out and do stuff, where the online is useful is in building confidence. If it doesn't and only drags you down then don't do it. I had to learn that, online dating doesn't work for most men simply as that, because it destroys our confidence and that then turns women off even more.
I built my confidence by having increasing luck with speed dating (face to face is much stronger than online for me personally). Once I had built on that I was able to do normal social situations and then get dates. It is pointless to do online unless you are very gifted with words or very gifted physically. As women have countless spam to deal with.
Only trying to help, don't stake everything on online dating. In fact that is the worst thing you can do. -
I don't agree with it's the worst thing you can do. Like I said have no expectations and you won't get hurt, and just see what happens. From my own experience I kept trying to make it work, and in the end the ones that worked are the ones where I was pretty laid back, and didn't follow up quickly.
