  I love nerds (don't get me wrong!!) but he was surely in a class if his own. I ate with my hands, belched and made a mess 😄needless to say young Brandon didn't ask me out again ~ Indy : 'cos sometimes a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta DO!!- Posted from rhpmobile

  "Thank you, I had a great time. I'm afraid I didn't quite feel that spark I need for a second date, but it was lovely meeting you."   The worst response I received to that was "What? I thought we did. Are you sure?" No dramas.

  And finally said I'm going home, thank you for dinner. Goodnight. Seriously, 3 hours of him talking about himself, his life, his daughter who was just like him (shudder). his son who was a huge disappointment (a form of escape I reckon) and finally when he asked me a question it was "do you like country music?" I had to remind myself that night that as an assertive woman I did not need to stay and be bored any longer. I think I'm less polite these days.

  I was referring to pleasant dates. Once was I had dinner with a guy who was incredibly rude to the waiter. Me to waiter: I apologise for my date's behaviour. To date: Goodnight. I took my coat and left. I think the waiter was smiling as I walked out.

  Went out with this girl once... As soon as we sat at the table she told me she thought all men were pigs... Especially Caucasian men (great start)... A homeless guy walked up asking for spare change and she started berating him... I think I'd have dropped a ten-a in his hand if I didn't only have my card. Then I found out I have a wonderful aura... Then back to the evils of Caucasian men and the last guy she went to meet up with last night was a no show... Obviously a very insightful man... We finished our coffee and she gripped my arm like a shy 5y/o gripping their mum... Then the medical history came out... Finally, she tells me, 'now we are a couple...' I was about to chew my arm off and run but politely explained how I work as a night manager and I had to head off to work now... Always believe you should be polite about your exit. Even if they are really not your cup-a. But I admit, I did check she didn't follow me... As I blocked her number...- Posted from rhpmobile

  Although it can still happen, it happens significantly less than if potential meet people are better screened before committing to meet. Pre-qualifying via phone conversations really does give a great insight into how well you'll get along in person. Just because I get someone's number in here, that is not a guarantee that I will feel sufficiently invested in them to want to schedule a meet. As one lovely ladies topic said recently...... you have to earn it DG- Posted from rhpmobile

  met a guy recently-not off here...in texts he seemed well written etc, but within 5 minutes of talking to him ( we met at the beach) his insistence to use slang, and teenage speak, was enough for me...Fortunately a ferocious wind started, whirling sand into our ears, and mouths making it impossible to talk so I politely made my exit!

  I actually met someone from a different website yesterday, and whenever she thought something I'd said was funny, she'd actually verbalise "lolz". I don't do this dulling shit down anymore to protect their feelings and make them feel better, so when she said she enjoyed our chat, I just replied "well, I'm glad one of us did. Take care."- Posted from rhpmobile

  I had one not too long ago. We met for coffee and went for a walk and I found half way through that he was rather boring. He was a nice guy, similar interests to me, but rambled too much. I ended up saying that I didn't feel attracted to him in that way, but that I'd like to be friends. He was messaging me every day after that, finally I just didn't respond to a text and I haven't heard from him since. I think bullet dodged there.
