Time to re-start dating?

As per title, been off the 'scene' a while, life's changed and it seems the internees the way forward.

Not looking for a ONS, or picking from a catalogue.

So any advice, bar honesty?

And anyone tried:

E Harmony
Match
Tinder

Sure there are loads, but they seem the most talked about.

Cheers, ps I'm a bloke, looking for a female!

 

I dabbled with Match, 3 years back. I have to say avoid things like 'Plenty of Fish' and generally any free sites because any moderately attractive women are getting literally dozens of emails a day! I've seen the proof from the friend that was on it.

The best piece of advise I would give is not to start looking on any of them until you are really settled with single life and not trying too hard. I was panicking and found it difficult to relax and just let stuff happen, once you do that you can meet some nice people on there. I had a few nice dates from Internet sites, then I stopped looking and bumped into my current partner, so I guess that's irony for you.

 

Christmas is coming mate, good time to start, Oct/Nov plus if you join one of those sites, match or eharmony don't pay, just join, after a few weeks they'll notice you've not fully joined, and offer you a deal, few quid extra for drinks!

Also try not to meet girls before 9pm, that way if she's no good, it's one dink and leave, or you'll have to spend the evening there (guilt), when you'd rather be in your bike, so to speak!

That's all I know, from a mate of mine.

 

Hi 675.cc

I am seeing a woman thats now been divoced for two years now and during those two years she has made some great Female friends. the reason why i say this is that is due to the fact that they have all been made single about the same time, one thing that always cropps up in the chatting that they do is dating and who is on what site and for what reason.

There is one on there thats on Match, Tinder, POF, sugar Daddy etc and tbh she gets some good hits from Tinder but has yet to find the right man. a couple of then have tried and decided that internet dating isnt for them as they would rather meet a man in a public place (out of the blue) and just start to chat to them, the best ones that they come home bragging about are the ones that have the patter and actually just want to chat to them and not just Shag them.

In essence be Honest and put some recent photos up, see how it goes and just get back into the swing of thngs.

Get some mates out for a few beers and see what happens, you might get lucky...

Good luck in your hunt

 

I never just mastered going up to women and chatting to them. The one thing I have learnt is that women just don't go in for bullsh*t lines. Honestly you would think we would have all learnt that but I have never seen it work on a lady that you might actually want to start something with.

Best of luck, Christmas can be a really good time to meet people, loads of Christmas parties and just a much more social time. Just avoid the meat markets, there is a place in my local town which is well known for it and honestly I was scared for my life the last time I went there.

Seriously....I'd say just don't rush nowt, and don't look for nowt....I'm kinda in the same spot, and been out & about dating a bit, with some very pretty, and usually very young lasses. Then I met Edie, who quite literally lives right across the street....she speaks VERY little English, I speak very little Spanish....BUT...we seem to muddle through, we make it work.

How old are you??

 

I envy you mate. I realise that the grass is always greener and all that, nonetheless......

 

Hahaha

I knew mine 14 years before i now have her, she lives 500 yards away from me and i met her one day after she split wth her Ex and fell for her.
Chance meetings are always good

 

I'm not sure chatting to random females is my thing, plus who goes to a bar these days? I'd show my age by not hearing what she said over the music, and I can't lip read.

Internet sounds ok, it's not just a looks thing, and maybe that'll work.

As for age 35+

I'm not after just shagging, never been like like, never will be.

 

do you live anywhere near stratford sauna?

cheaper and a lot less hassle

 

Ewww yuk, no thanks, I'm not after that. I'm after a best mate that's female.

 

I go to bars....but I like to play pool, I don't really go to meet people.


Here's an odd one though.....I have this bartender, Renee....I kid you not, she is 29, and about the best looking girl I've ever actually met....she's Cherokee, and it shows...her boobs are maybe a bit too big, but in general she's a stunner....she's asked me out twice, and TBH I'm not sure whether to or not. Prolly not the worst of problems to have...

 

Yeah u cant get chemistry from pics on the web, its about not spending too long chatting on the web but actually getting to meet them before u both run out of things to say. Its always really awkward spending 2-3 weeks chatting to someone then meeting and realising there is no chemistry

 

There's a difference between not being the first, and not being the first that day!

 

D.

 

get a dog

 

LMFAO!!

 

I did the whole internet dating, met some "interesting" women.

Amazingly met one who I'm now happily engaged to. So it does work, just be wary of the nut jobs. I went on plenty of fish if you need another site to try.

Get a dog? Mmm that might not work so well for a weekend abroad, or dinner in a restaurant, think I'll stick with girls ta.
