When they want me to email them immediately...
When they comment on how wonderful my profile is...
When they tell me how they enjoyed reading how I want to fill my home with children....

When they've written to me saying how much they've enjoyed reading my profile.How they were always looking for a lady like me.ETC ETc.laugh


It's obvious they don't read it or they would see I'm not looking.I also have ways in which to track them and report them if they include and email addy.I so much love free entertainment.laugh

vcroome: I wonder if any others who have tried online dating before have any 'warning signs' that immediately let you know that someone is probably not 'the one'?

For me it's using 'u' instead of 'you', '4' instead of 'for' and other chat-speak. I have the idea that someone who won't put in the time to properly type out their message when they are seeking their partner, they might not put as much effort as I'd like into the relationship itself, either.

Any others? Specific phrases people repeat in their profiles that send up red flags?

Rubbish, here in the forums there are some real gems. Perhaps you are speaking from your experience alone.

Of course there are risks with online dating but there are ways of weeding out people that are not here for genuine purposes.

I've met some people offline just not from CS but they were just as real as they were online.


It's not fair to paint everyone online with the very same brush.

I personally have a problem with guys who initiat contact and say they would like to hear from you and when you reply, they don't seem to make enough effort and you find yourself the one doing all the work in terms of getting to know them and they take days to reply to your messages or sometimes not respond at all, what's up with that?confused
