Internet dating.... has ayone tried it and found love that lasted?
I have dated 3 people off the internet, and the last one i thought...well, maybe he was the one, but alas i was wrong!
What are your experiences?
Do you think its geeky or strange?
I have had 1 blind date set up by friends and I have had 2 dates from online dating sites and 2 from poker sites.
I do find them the most uncomfortable experiences - I always feel let down when I see the guy.
The blind date was very awkward and no attraction whatsoever.
The first online date was just like the blind date but the guy wouldnt stop emailing for ages - I had to block him.
The 2nd online date was OK - but the guy decided to be totally truthful and tell me his whole drug dealing history, plus he was so into clubbing and taking drugs - so I wasnt going to take that further but TBH he is on my msn friends list and we talk alot and he even called me up one night and asked me to go to scissors sister concert with him cos his date had dropped him and he had a spare ticket! so we are still friends.
The first poker date was with a scottish guy I met playing poker online - i thought i was going to really like him but when i met him i didnt like him at all, i felt really let down and upset for some reason.
The 2nd poker date was with a norweigan professional poker player - we actually had a relationship for a few months - but it fizzled out.
I dont think I will ever date anyone from online again. I rarely feel chemistry with any guy - and the emotional stress of going on dates and taking one look at the guy and feeling your heart sink and then knwoing you have to spend hours with the guy... oh I cant stand it - I think it is such a let down experience.
I think im very fortunate I like poker as I get to meet so many men. The only bad thing about going to the same poker club is that you really cant try them out - or else I will get a bad name. I have went on secret date with one guy - we went out last weekend - but we decided not to see eachother again because we dont think we will last and we dont want to ruin our relationship in the poker room. The attraction we have for eachother is off the scale chemistry. I feel so frustrated about the situation. The main reason we decided not to date is because we live 30 miles apart and for some reason on our first date this became a major issue and both of us decided not to put the effort in... so weird when we are like both so into eachother... the chemistry was unreal. I cant figure out what happened - dont know if it was just so intense and we just got freaked out by the emotions. I havent felt so much for like years and he has never had a GF - he is 26...
sorry for writing so much about this... lol just want to get it off my chest!
Awww lovely!!Hey Julz... sorry it's not worked out for you - it's amazing at all that we find someone who we feel that we can live with, let alone marry - I believe in luck and fate - there will be someone out there at a time and place for you, Nic and all those looking for love - sounds mushy but I have met some lovely men, they were Mr Right, right then - I have my Mr Right, right now...he's out there for you -honest... :cupid::cupid::cupid:
Awww lovely!!
I want to find Mr Right now and forever!!!! Want to grow old together and still be walking down the street at 72 holding hands, while people coo and say 'awww, isnt it sweet!'
Never done a date when i haven't seen the person first ...both in a picture and using web cam...i can understand how wierd that would be ...I think i would walk out or go to the loo and get someone to phone me with a 'family emergency' if he was soooo not right lol..is that wrong?

Massive shame...this made me chuckle a wee bit!
As for the other situation... i think you know yourself it wouldn't work, but, i know how hard it is to get it out of your system when you really have that intense spark and butterflies with someone xxx
'everything happens for a reason' even if its not apparent now...there will be a reason! Hopefully you will met the man of your dreams soon and thats why it didnt work...cause if you got with Mr Wrong, Mr Right would never have found you!
Big kisses xx
