Relationships Online Dating
1

These are some of the sample guys I have taken from the dating website.

The Invader
Ever strike up a convo with a guy on a dating website and they seem nice at first, you're getting on grand. Next thing he wants your facebook page and you're phone number...calm down, we've been talking for 20 mins...he wants you to email him the next day at work???
Is this guy so afraid that either one of you will dissolve that he has to be in contact with you every hour.

What amazes me even more is if you give in to the demands...a week of constant texts...and then will follow a deafening silence, with you thinking what the hell???

The Sleeze
(as puppy pointed out in a recent post) The guy who pretends he's interested in a relationship, but then constantly tries to talk about sex. This guy has one thing on his mind...don't be fooled.

The Player
The seemingly nice guy who is making out that ye have some kind of "chemistry", even jokes about a future and kids together, and then tells you he is dating someone that he just met from the site...but then continues to talk to you...hummmm???...gut says run :)

Although this sounds very negative, there are really nice guys in the mix too, you just have to be true to yourself...
If you're gut is questioning something about them, either walk away or ask them a direct question...if they deflect the question it's not a good sign...what it says to me is I want to live in the happy world of online dating and chatting to you, but I am not taking these conversations seriously enough to answer that question.

Don't worry, even if you think you are talking to the great guy in the world and he turns out not to be, there are another 20 guys on the site waiting to talk to you.

If someone is making you uncomfortable by what they are saying do not be afraid to say it...you wouldn't take any crap in real life, why should you online. Just politely say I'm not really comfortable talking about that, if they are a gent they will move on to a different topic.

So all ye online love seekers
Keep smiling
Love to ye

Hey Domestic,
It is pretty entertaining alright. I don't think some guys realise they are talking to real people...or maybe they do and don't care...anyway after a while you begin to figure out whats what.

Hope you having a good day

Love to you

I have a theory about the guys on online dating sites. Men, as you may know, are not as relationship-minded as women. Since they tend to do all right not deliberately looking for relationships, and are in no hurry, they tend to find love in the real world without any help or need for a singles database. The ones who can't find women in the real world, either because they are damaged somehow, or are simply looking for a brief sexual encounter, are the ones who turn to the dating sites. Hence you get the large percantage of creeps there.

When I had a profile on a dating website I got a lot of weird messages, and guys who didn't actually want to meet in person for some reason. Another curious thing was that there were two distinct age groups contacting me: 24 and under, and 50 and older. It was like all the men in their 30's and 40's had disappeared. Since I am in my mid 30's I don't have any interest in dating college kids or baby boomers! And beards ... lots of beards. Who knew that look was so popular these days? I just got sick from the whole experience and gave up.

Lol Heathecliffe.. Just had to knock the beard didnt ya. I did try an online dateing site once and did meet a kind lady but it just didnt work out. But though we were not right for eachother I still have great memories of those meetings over coffee and an early breakfast before work. There are good folks there but a good person doesnt mean a romantic relationship. I believe the problem with these dateing sights are that we think we are there to find true love. Just as much chance of doing that by taking a walk down the street. They have folks interested in finding a date .. but a love is the hope.. and thats an entirely different story.
