Targetlock Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Hi All A bit of online dating news seems ive been making some progress, throughout my last rough couple of months ive been talking to someone new on PoF who ive been talking to for the last few weeks. And at the start of the week i got her number and so have been chatting on whatsapp chat feature on my phone as well as texting. she is slightly older than me, sweet, funny and has similar areas of interest but the issue is distance. I cant drive sadly but she can and she lives a reasonable distance from me (about 60 miles so not too bad) Just going to see what happens, once i get settled into new my job i may talk to her about coming to see her 2 Link to post Share on other sites
d0nnivain Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Hi Target! I'm happy to hear you feel you are making progress. Remember OLD is a single tool. Keep your eyes open IRL too. Mix up what you are doing to meet someone. How the art going? Any interesting prospects in that arena? 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Mix up what you are doing to meet someone. How the art going? Any interesting prospects in that arena? Yeah I do consider OLD to be just one option I've got available.hoping my new job will open up options. As for my art I recently sold a sculpture but that got broken and now I need to do repairs!

d0nnivain Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Congrats! At least you sold a piece. That is fantastic. Are there any available women in your art world? Meeting new women through work has other risks so be careful. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

mtnbiker3000 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Awesome news. HOWEVER, as someone who has a lot of experience with OLD, I say be cautious. These types of relationships can and will disappear faster than they appeared. It is very much "que" dating. Sometimes you're #1 in the que, the next day you may be #4 or lower. Just remember, you can't take this personally. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Author Targetlock Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 Update!! Well i went for asked her out i suggested meeting to see if there was a connection in person and she said yes and see what we can arrange and come up with. I told her I would have asked her sooner if it wasn't for the distance, she thought that was sweet 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Author Targetlock Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Update: She is busy for the next three weeks with family stuff and few weeks wont be around another month until we get to meet hoping it will be worth the wait.

Yeah, while he and the 90%+ of the world meets their spouse or beloved through work and studies, you are worrying about risks. Nobody cares about that buddy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
the tank Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 The best way to meet woman is through friends, school or work. In my case, I'm just tired of Old. Too impersonal. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Targetlock Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 I'm not really interested in anyone else, I'm going to wait patiently until I get the chance to meet her, as we both seem to be on the same wavelength and are eager to meet and see if there is a connection in person Link to post Share on other sites
