Ed the 3rd Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 So I met a girl from POF. It was super awkward at first but after quite a long talk it got more comfortable to point where we got to cuddle up (I'm quite proud of the way I did it tbh ) and we held hands on the way back. She is just way to good to be true. I really want it to work with her Sorry thread has no point I just wanted to say I actually handled that initial awkwardness without setting myself on fire I have social anxiety so its quite hard for me. To give this some discussion value how did any of you guys/girls get on meeting someone from OLD for the first time?
MidwestUSA Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 To answer your question, either like you just did, or went and found there were no common interests and no sparks. In which case, cut it short and say "Thanks for a nice evening". But, I'm really just hear to say I'm glad you had a good time. Now go do it again! Best wishes.
BradJacobs Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 What do you mean by "get on"? Congrats on the good first date.

BradJacobs Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 In that case ... first one didn't look anything like her pictures. I left after the first round. Somehow I wasn't supposed to notice she gained about 60 pounds ...
Cutiepie1976 Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Congrats on your accomplishment! Now have you asked her out again? Don't let this fizzle! My very first OLD date was fun. Didn't know what to expect going in, but we had a great time. He was really good looking in person (much better than I expected from his photos) and a little taller too. Otherwise exactly as billed. Ended going on a few more dates before I decided I preferred him as a tennis partner.
Author Ed the 3rd Posted June 15, 2013 Author Posted June 15, 2013 I'll ask her tomorrow if she fancies meeting up again. She said she wanted to take things slow and think about it. I understood since she recently dumped a bf of like 2 years. I know those might sound grim but she hasn't cut contact with me since the date and she seems level headed enough not to play silly games with me.
eastcoastgirl88 Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 I think the most disappointing thing about OLD is when you get there and there are no sparks. You get along just fine, but no romantic chemistry. This is why I like to meet ASAP. It's like, okay, let's cut to the chase!

Have a plan though when you ask her out. Fancy meeting up is not a plan...
Author Ed the 3rd Posted June 16, 2013 Author Posted June 16, 2013 Doesn't matter as she seems to be ignoring me now anyway. It wouldn't be so horribly crushing if she wasn't literally the best looking person to ever grace my presence. It would be literally ALL down hill from now on.
