awwww thanks guys just saw them posts there!!!! i will pop on here from time to time cos the forums r such good craic! but seriously i promise i went on so many dates...maybe 6 or 7 or more last year...and most were fine but just no click! But i am so excited about this one! really going so well so far! he even wrote a lovely comment on my p.o.f. profile and all! so excited!
aww thanks so much guys and it is so worth waiting for and I swear, do not ever be worried about meeting someone so long as it's safe and they seem ok online...u have nothing to lose and everything to gain, even if only a good chat...u learn something or u just happen to meet someone great! xxxx
Thanks guys I swear it does not matter whether u meet them in a supermarket, gym, club, pub...dating site! I am cooking him dinner thursday lol let's hope he survives!!! xxx
Hi everyone, Well after being on this site and on another one, plenty of fish, I have met someone lovely!!! From the other site...really lovely guy! Met him around 2 weeks ago and we have just hit it off! Before Christmas I went on around 5 dates and did not click with anyone...thought it was a lost hope! But now, only for a dating site I have met someone who is really sweet and the 1st person I have clicked with in such a long time! I say this internet dating is the way to go! Otherwise I would never have met him! xxx xxx
If your friend is a little fragile, puggle, as you understand I am sure it was an awful thing to hear! But the whole thing is, if she believes she is beautiful then she will get over it and realise that as everyone else has pointed out he is a big fat loser. I got called something can't remember it was along the lines of "stupid slag just like irish girls on here" or something! Makes you go OMG! But tell her to toughen up and just forget about it! as i said total loser whoever he was, why should his one dumb comment make her feel less beautiful or stop her enjoying herself or trying something different and meeting someone here! now get her a cup of tea and tell her chin up!
I agree with tgwtw (dunno if I spelt that right!) I don't throwing on a pic, we are here at the end of the day hoping to meet someone we are attracted to aswell as get on with, I love to see a pic on someones profile, otherwise, I am less likely to reply to be honest! I see it as a dating site, a pic is the least u can do!
LOL tgwstw the truffle shuffle!! haha well apart from gyming it way more than i have been (zero ) In 2009 I hope I get my teacher training so I can be a secondary teacher! I also want to learn how to drive! beep beep! Also, to meet someone and fall in lurve lol but if that happens, it happens!
Hello Bluebelle! Happy new year! Yes bring on the chemistry please! Starting to forget what that feels like lol! It is so worth it when u feel that spark though! It is like wooooow! Pity sometimes chemistry can be there but then the relationship does not work, chemistry is like a drug in a way! However, it's that belly flip and butterflies when u even see them...it's the best!
Chemistry is number one! And what is attractive is usually someone who is clever but not too big headed about it, self assured, warm, manly man!, thoughtful and has the ability to have great conversations not just bland chit chat! Number one is chemistry though, intoxicating!
I kinda believe in them a little, I mean I am a Leo and I can be bossy and very emotional as well as being a good leader...also Leos tend to like drama and theatre and they are very passionate people lol so I would say it is pretty much what I am like, I find it funny that my Dad is a Pisces and the fella I found most compatible with me dating wise was also a pisces...I like Aquarians, Geminis and Aries girls as friends...and man wise I do like Pisces and Libra as they tend to be sensitive and Libras are usually interesting and calm down my fiery side. Aquarious fellas can be very intriguing also! Sorta works sometimes!
Hello everyone and Happy new year! Here's to 2009! I keep meaning to go to a meet and Valentine's Day, if single, sounds like the ideal one lol! All the men have to go! is there only one so far?! lol there'll be a catfight over him!!!
Poor you, it's hard being lonely at Christmas! Wish I could help but I am at home in lovely Dundalk with my family and my sister who lives in Galway! Haven't seen her in 3 whole months and we are really close! But I feel for ya, Christmas is real family and friend time...r u in Dublin long? not met any friends yet?
Hi all, I am never here anymore some old faces gone, but everyone here is really nice lisamona good name by the way lol
I pop in and out but people do include u and it is a bit in-jokey certain threads anyway but it's only craic, they all seem pretty sound so happy days!
What are women? Crazy?! Why would any girl with half a brain say to herself, "ah now what I would like to meet is a horrible man, selfish in every way,nasty, rude, generally a waster!" No, see I have to say I have dated a few guys and the problem is very simple, it is just that you could for example go on a date with a guy who is nice just nice and he is dead on and all of that...you just might not be attracted to him and that's that! I have gone away from dates before thinking "ah that is a pity cos he seemed so nice"....it is not peoples' faults that they just do not click with someone else. That's the issue and the person who posted this is maybe bitter or simply just not seeing that they have not met the right person yet! which i still haven't! but it is nothing to do with whether the person is NICE! nice is grand but it is not enough! u cant just say oh he is nice thats nice so no reason not to go out with him/see him again/kiss him whatever! unfortunately if it was that simple i wouldn't be here!
It is true that sometimes a demanding sounding profile could be off-putting... But I agree with Elise...and Lisa too. I mean, it is truly in meeting each other and the spark that 2 people can have where your best qualities shine through and compliment each other and u love a person despite the flaws...it is in the eye of the beholder! Forget lists, I would say I am loyal to those I care about, warm, open, a good listener aswell as talker, very understanding and passionate, who can have a good convo about things, can see other viewpoints and generally optimistic! (on a good day!) And I keep an eye out for someone sweet, intelligent (intelligence is in different ways, not like i am after mr. mastermind!), genuine, open and funny! Those qualities I will be drawn to, and of course if I am with the right person I will open up to them and be part of a relationship, give and take, I think that is a basic!
I totally get ya Polar! I would love to have someone special in my life and went on 2 dates recently, the one I felt didn't have anything in common with, enough good conversation or spark, he is really keen trying to meet me again...the other...didn't really call! u miss intimacy and all that but could never go there with someone u were not really into! catch 22!
I think I understand where u are coming from herald...i know i do! cos all jokes aside, everyone at some stage has felt lonely or wished they were with someone at some stage... we can go on a lot of dates but it is true that the dates where u really click with someone are rare...it can happen! i think we must persevere, look around and see that many people can be happy so this can work...why should you be any different! i do get paranoid sometimes or say to myself, i wish i did like that person in that way but i don't...yet most of the time it is good to stay positive.
Elise this is a great poll...will have me thinking for a while!
When I was a little girl I loved piano and wanted to learn it...still play it now and teach it too... I always was a bookworm and wanted so much to be a writer, wrote a "book" aged seven and my teacher in 1st class printed it out for me and I thought I was on my way! I am doing my English degree now so hopefully I will realise that dream too... I imagined falling in love and getting married too....still more to go!
That's all I have so far! Never did meet Stephen from Boyzone! Thought he was the one for me! Very wrong there!
Loved reading everyones' posts on this.
Suppose life was so much more enchanting when you were a child and no obstacles faced you...anything was possible! I hope I still have a part of that naivity (spelling?) with me...would not like to totally lose the wonder!
Just read what Godsgift wrote. So very true. Very wise words.
I read the opening thread and I cannot see here replying who wrote it, but can I say... Every man (maybe!) is different...but a lot, I find, are similar. The line "I am so into you I am scared I will hurt you" Maybe that was true. But reality - I think it is a line men THINK will work instead of being very honest with you. It is the cowards way out, is more confusing and upsetting for the poor girl in question and is pretty much a get out line.
This was done to me hun and he said that same thing..."I was scared of getting close and hurting you" etc etc. I think men, or people in general, are slightly more straightforward than that and I would say he did not feel it enough or something.
Hope that is of some use, jmo. Hope you meet someone who you fall in love with properly...believe me, I know how much it can hurt! Sorry to take a sombre tone there! Butterflies huh...
RE: found love
congratulations!!!!!!!!Enjoy it - it is the most wonderful thing ever!
I met my boyfriend on a dating site, not this one, and we are together now near 4 months and planning to go away to italy in august for ten days!
Best of luck to you both!
