Sue Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Anybody who describes themselves as "fun-loving" or having a "GSOH" is to be avoided at all costs whatever their body size ....

*Bob* Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Not tried it, but I imagine speed dating is the most efficient form of dating. A minute or two is probably all you need with anyone - to make a decision as to whether to take it any further. Unfortunately (so I'm told) it's also the one the attracts the highest proportion of 'not with a bargepoles'.

*Bob* Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I think the key to internet dating - initally anyway - is just not to say anything weird. Just go with something regular and standard which won't put anyone off. 90% of potential respondents will just go on the picture anyway, so all you can do with the text is blow it.

Even flies give me a wide berth!With there being so many 'experts' on internet dating posting I was wondering what exactly a female could write to attract the males on here who see most things as meaning something else?

Voyageur Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I met my partner via online dating 8 years ago and still going strong :) When I was last single I was urged by 20/30-somethings at work to try online dating as that was considered 'the norm' by them. Tried it for a few months, met some very interesting peeps, had some quite frankly hilarious dates, and finally met R. The trick (I feel) is to not take online dating uber seriously, to have some fun, to have a decent 'get out' strategy (always meet for coffee or drinks on first meeting, never a meal) and to keep an open mind. Many online daters are far to strict with their requirements....'female 36 - wants to meet solvent, tall, dark handsome man with own hair, house and car. Must adore cats and no beards/moustaches.''male late 40s - wants to meet green eyed oriental lady 18-29. Must be under size 10 and large bossomed.'
