WAY too many "meet for coffee" dates where they turned out not to be who they said they were (i.e. picture was like 10-15 years or more old) or they described themselves as "average" body size but were like 50-lbs overweight so, lots of 1st dates that never went anywhere dates that actually progressed past the first date since i've been on this site and POF, so far 2 but apparently they never worked out or i wouldn't be back here again
I actually only dated as in going on coffee or drink dates in the last 6 month. Before that, in the last 20 years I can count on 1 hand going on dates and have a good few fingers left.
I met my boyfriends through friends, hanging out in a group and knowing them socially and we never went on "dates". Actually the best way of meeting someone IMO, you get to know them over time and what kind of person they are.
Well, now I better try to get a hang of this dating thing...
