I had a look at POF but just looking at the interface of the site made me feel momentarily profoundly opposed to the idea of romance in all its forms
Maybe. Dunno.
I think what I want is an online dating site for people like me who are reluctant to use online dating sites but are aware that itâs probably the only way theyâre ever going to actually date anyone
You deserve it for going on PoF.
I found POF utterly soulless and shit.
just logged into okc for the first time in a while and all the questions are about determining whether youâre a fascist or not.
Aw mate, of all the bearded white blokes on here, you have one of the best bearded white faces. Youâre a goodâun, japes.
and?
Buy a bike and then get on www.ride2love.dating
this is all dating sites, friend!
Here is a moderately interesting story of an awkward online date I had a few years ago.
When arranging for a day/time for a date, we agreed on a night I was going to a gig. I think I offered the option of meeting up in a pub for a couple of hours beforehand and then I could go to the gig afterwards (always nice to have an escape option if it doesnât go well), or the other option of meeting up at the gig if she liked the music.
Unfortunately she chose both options - i.e. meet up for a couple of hours beforehand, and then go to the gig. Which seemed like a terrible idea to me, as it could potentially mean 5+ hours of awkwardness if we didnât click. But she bought a ticket, and so it goes.
Anyway, we didnât click. The drinks were silently painful, and we both had little to say to each other, with so many awkward silences.
To fill one of the awkward silences, and potentially take up a tiny bit of time, I asked âShall we go to the venue?â.
She replied saying âWould you be offended if I went home?â
I said âNo!â
She then said âI just feel like going backâ.
Awkward silence.
Then I said âOk, shall we go now?â
âYes.â
Then hug goodbye, with me walking quickly away to the gig, cringing the whole time, but super happy.
Iâm thankful to her for her honesty to this day.
I respect her honesty here
I would have silently gone through with the gig and died more every second
thatâs really the second best outcome of a date.
both people are into it: great
both people are not into it: fine
only one of you thinks itâs going well: problems
had an almost exact opposite experience of this. met for pre-gig drinks and it was pretty painful conversation-wise but we were both into the band so were always gonna have to stick it out. couple of beers later we both totally relaxed and had loads of fun at the gig, it got quite rawkus actually. i remember making out in the middle of a mosh pit
How come Slayer never sing about this?
(ignore this)
ooft
Yeah I might abandon that reply if thatâs okay?
