  • it is, but its actually been a bit better today so im feeling little more positive about things now lol. think main part of the problem for me is ive been on my own for 2.5 years and really REALLY dont know how to handle things when a guy likes me lol. I also feel awkward cos im still chatting with a couple of other guys too who i may meet up with at somepoint-how do i handle that one lol. God im soooooo outta practise at this dating malarky, am sure it didnt feel this complicated when i was younger lol :)

    GuardianAngel, what site is that on hun???? most sites have some form of block facility, stick him on that and forget about it, tell yourself its just words on a screen as horrible as they may have been to read. Personally id have to message him back and say no wonder youre single with manners like that :)

    He was on POF. He was an idiot!
    Thanks for your message. xx
  • how long do you guys usually go on a first meet/date for????

    i got my date tomorrow, we're meeting at around 2 cos hes got plans in the morning that i told him not to change etc, but cos its a sunday and i rely on buses im only really gonna get a couple hours-dya think thats long enough??? well obviously its more than long enough if it goes bad haha, I dont even have a clue what we're gonna do yet, figured we'd prob go for a coffee or a drink, the footballs on and we support the same team so could try and find a pub to watch that..........

    Good idea! If you dont have anything to talk about at least there wont be awkward silences.
    2 hours is enough to know whether you wanna go any further.
    If you get on great and there's a spark you'll want the date to last forever.
    Just go with the flow...

    wow, I just got the shock of my life, I have had rude messages but not this kind of abuse just because I read a message and didn't reply straight away. He was swearing left right and centre. I feel a bit shaken up actually.
    Don't let it get to you. I've had a similar experience and it's always worth reporting.

    PoF? There are plenty of real d*ckheads on these sites, but occasionally there are also gems to be found.

  • I have found sometimes 2 hours on a first date can be quite plenty.you can message and text as long as you like its only when you meet that you really know.

    mind you I have found some first dates 20 minutes is more than enough

    I know exactly what you mean..some dates are too much after 5 mins!!

    The Oh dear feeling:
    it only takes that long sometimes doesn't it?

    The comment about not wanting the night to end:
    Oooh, sigh...i know what you mean :blushing:

    I've now blocked him but he just made me so angry, what right does he have to be like that. And I wonder why he is still single!!

    Exactly, no social skills! But more worryingly, indicative of violent tendencies :(.
