Title: Online Dating.. your experiences..?
Post by: AlexBabes on 30 July 2012, 10:50
Is anyone currently using the interweb to enhance the quality of their lives and relationships?

What are the stories you have, are there any anecdotes you know about people who are doing online dating meets and have they been successful or a right mess!

I have to confess to dabbling with one or two websites at the moment, and am genuinely not ashamed whatsoever- is there still a big stigma attached, or is everyone doing it?

Tell all!

The women on those dating sites are picky as fcuk.

They put half revealing pics up, then moan when they get pervy/dirty messages  :laugh:

my mate met his current girl through POF.com

cant say ive ever tried internet dating sites though. normally for me its just if a girl adds me on facebook and i like the look of her, have a chat see if shes got a good personality and i can get along with her and see how things go.

tried it twice. both were fvckin mental. just did a good job of hiding it till they were in the door. don't think either of them expected to be axed, and when they were, they went even more mental. They're all damaged goods. Steer clear!

i met my other half through facebook, we had mutual friends(we were not friends at the time) and had abit of banter on their wall, almost 2 years later we have an amazing lil lad who we love to death!

online dating in my eyes is a good thing, so big up yourselves for doing it! ive not tried online dating sites but back in the day when chatrooms were kind of new(1999 ish) i would get talking to someone and whoever(mainly female) and as soon as i told them i was chinese, 95% of the time the other person would stop talking to me LOL!

I've met girls online, but never had an online date. We'd date at a bar, or a restaurant or something.

I always believe that with online dating, 70% of the people on there are genuine, and probably nice people to boot.

20% of them are desperate.

The remaining 10% are madder than a box of frogs and should all be locked up.

Friend of mine had some blokes e-mail her on one dating site (don't know which one) and one of them was very upfront and honest; conversation went something like this:

"Really like your profile pic but you need to know something about me. I have a real fetish for feet. If this isn't your thing, please delete me now"

*DELETE*

yup i'll go with that one!

the last one i dated off an online site was absolutely insane and the biggest b!tch i have ever been with. went completely ape after i slung her.
in all fairness i did just end it without warning and got with my current misses the night after but you know, life goes on  :evil:

The most nuttiest and insane girls I've ever met were from bars and clubs.

Had both good and bad experience with these sites. Mostly found them useful when I was looking for something to f**k to put my ex that I just split up with after 7yrs out of my head. Never met anyone with any substance online though, most just looking for a bit of fun..... :huh:
Wonder what that says about me  :rolleyes:

I've never done it myself, but my dad and the misses' dad both met their girlfriend/wife on dating sites and both turned out good. My mum also met her husband on the net an he's a total loser thingy

And I'm now engaged to my dads girlfriends daughter so its win win all round! (although some people think its a bit weird  :lipsrsealed:)

So if her and your dad get married, you'll be marrying your step sister?  :evil:

I will indeed!

It seems to be a cause of endless entertainment at work, I found out not long ago that someone I've been working with for around 3 years thought I was engaged to my actual sister  :laugh:

Its looking like I may be falling into that 10%. Jeremy Kyle would have to have a 2 parter on my family, this is relatively normal compared to the rest of them  :shocked:
