lovers Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 so i was on this dating site and i saw someone i know checking me out on there. i am pretty embarassed so i just deleted my account lol. im pretty damn embarassed. should i even worry about it?
MrCastle Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 They're probably over there saying the same thing. It's equally awkward for both parties. It's like if I (a straight man) were to catch a friend of mine in a gay porn movie. How could I address him about it without first beginning with "hey so I saw a gay porn flick the other day and..." I wouldn't have deleted my profile but I know I don't tell anyone I online date, so I don't know how I would react.

No. It happens all the time. I was on POF and had female coworkers checking out my profile, girls from High School I graduated years ago. Don't be embarassed. They are on there for the same reason you are!
USMCHokie Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 I guarantee that I have you beat on this one in terms of sheer awkwardness, OP... 1
Pasttense Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 There is no reason to be embarrassed in this situation. Re-start your account. 2
AlexCross Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 Wanna talk about awkward ? Try being at the gym on the bench about to put up 405 for three reps, half way through your first rep you see a womans face upside down and she says hey is your screen name so and so ? Now thats awkward. 3

Now thats awkward. Try your female roommate who literally slept 20 ft away from you in the other bedroom of the apartment on AFF. 2
AlexCross Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 What did you say after that? I couldnt say much because I was more worried about dumpin the weight on my chest lol. I denied it. LOL.
Brunettie Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 I saw a couple people I knew on my dating site account and I felt weird too. It's not really a reason to delete your account though. They were probably feeling a little weird too.
dropdeadredtx Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 I was matched with my ex on Eharmony. Just proves that their matching sucks!!
proseandpassion Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Uh, that happens all the time. No big deal. I accidentally looked at an acquaintance's profile and all I did was say, "Oh, sorry I accidentally stalked you on OKcupid by the way" next time I saw him.
SJC2008 Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Wanna talk about awkward ? Try being at the gym on the bench about to put up 405 for three reps, half way through your first rep you see a womans face upside down and she says hey is your screen name so and so ? Now thats awkward. Did you tell her how stupid she was for talking to someone while lifting free weights?? That's a cold bench by the way!
AlexCross Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Did you tell her how stupid she was for talking to someone while lifting free weights?? That's a cold bench by the way! I was like "either your gonna spot me" or take away my concentration. LOL I didnt even have a spotter.
soccerrprp Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 I was matched with a co-worker. I have a no-dating-someone-from-work policy, so when she asked me out on a date, I was a little uncomfortable, so told her about my policy AND told her that I was honestly attracted to her, but agreed that that would be the best policy to follow...it happens, but people just don't have the time to do it face2face, so not too surprising...just be careful what you write in your profiles though...
maxy1 Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 I saw a friend on one and it wouldn't have been a big deal if she hadn't just been posting on fb the other day how proud she was that she deleted her pof account. And it showed that she was "online now!" on pof... Not really awkward but kinda funny. And: Busted.
Lobouspo Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 I got matched with a co-worker on eharmony...It was awkward for awhile, but not so much now
mortensorchid Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 There's no reason to be embarrassed about that. Remember, they are there for the same reason you are: To meet someone and potentially see them outside of the website, maybe date for a bit. It can be a little disconcerting when you realize that there are people you know out there, but they did it for the same reason you did, whether you're on a hook up website or something more legit (ex. Match). Once I came across the younger brother of a childhood friend who I had a falling out with years ago with. Not that I ever contacted him, but I clicked on him to get a closer look if it was him. It was. Then I did a review the next day of those who had checked out my profile. He saw me and my profile. Ha. It happens.
El Brujo Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 so i was on this dating site and i saw someone i know checking me out on there. i am pretty embarassed so i just deleted my account lol. im pretty damn embarassed. should i even worry about it? No... unless it's someone who's in a position to mess up your life.
AlexCross Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Online dating isnt against the law. Some people are embarassed but then again they are on there too lol.
