Yup, the benefits outweigh the negatives. Time to work on your profiles for those that just pay the numbers game and spam many women with cut paste messages.
This, I've had some success with women on online venues and I'm not a particularly outstanding looking guy, average I'd say. I just tried to make my write-up a break from the norm and the kicker is, every time it's been her that's initially messaged me.

If you use the mindset that it's the women that do the choosing things get less frustrating. I used to message first but I either got no reply could not get the schedule to arrange a chat or the conversations were like pulling teeth. I took the fishing approach, it worked a lot better.

Man I still can't get over my ex. It's been a month now, and I'm waiting for that "I miss you" text that's never gonna come.

Basically what Foxx said, just try and keep your mind off of your ex. Meet new people, try new stuff, or just go out with friends and just do things you love. Whatever helps, and with luck you'll find yourself thinking about your ex less and enjoying life more.

Okay I'm back in the game!

I set up Bumble, Tinder and will work on OKCupid now. Tinder has been shitting itself all day though. It takes around 50 tries to delete or add pics, or even write a bio. Then when I finally got that squared away and activated it, it wouldn't show me any profiles. It also will glitch out when trying to look at my own pics. Is anyone else having this problem? I've already tried deleting and redownloading the app, no dice.

Already got a match on Bumble, but when I started up the fourth girl's profile I saw was my ex's. Like an instant knife in the heart. They're old pics and I don't think she's actually dating - I think it's just an old profile and she didn't delete it properly (thought as much months ago too). It still stings though. Oh well. Swiped left and moving on!

I suppose it's all back down to looks without the chance of witty/thoughtful messages helping your game.

Make a witty bio I guess? Not much else you can do.

Man I still can't get over my ex. It's been a month now, and I'm waiting for that "I miss you" text that's never gonna come.

Block her number so that you won't be waiting anymore. Make sure to keep yourself busy with hobbies, work, study or whatever else you enjoy/need and the hurt will fade.

Can't you do that step? Maybe she is waiting for the same text, and not knowing if you will feel the same.

I wouldn't bet on it. Getting a reply back that doesn't share the same feelings will just elongate the hurt he's feeling.

Tanod foxxsoxx If you want to link your profiles or just share bios/images, just hide the link so that non-members can't see it or join the dating discord and share it there. No worries with those, having honest external feedback is great for improving profiles.

So last week, I had a nosey on OK Cupid, which I never really use seriously. I just like checking out people's profile and if they have silly questions to ask, I answer with silly answers (someone wondered how Hagid's parents have sex and I went into a full explanation including whether the speed of the human sperm can travel up a giant's vagina to impregnate the egg).

And no, I didn't get a response to that.

However, I did talk to a girl who put on her profile that she is a writer and I asked her what kind of writer she is. She responded with fantasy and I thought "Okay, that's me satisfied". She sent a message later on saying I look cute, we chatted for a bit and turns out we have a lot in common.

So I asked her out, she agreed, we met up on Friday at a place called Eden in Leeds, which is a gaming bar and café thing. We both played Mario Kart, we cuddled, we kissed, it went pretty well and we're excited for our next date when we find the time available from our rota.

Overall, I'm satisfied with the progress so far.

Is better to live in the uncertainty?

What does he have to lose? That way he will be sure.

We don't always get closure out of life, and doing stuff like that is going to slow down the healing process and cause more pain. I guess there's nothing to "lose", but why cause more strife? They broke up for (probably more than one) reason.

Or it might make both to get together. We don't know.

Just giving my opinion of course. I do not know the couple or the reasons. I'm just telling what I would do. I would prefer to get hurt by knowing, that live on the uncertainty of not knowing.

That approach makes sense for trying a relationship in the first place, but it can't be used as infinite ammo to dredge up and re-litigate failed relationships.

In this situation yes.

What does he have to lose? That way he will be sure.

The illusion that they are ever getting back together? The internal strength to accept things as they are? Any pride he may have remaining. And it may also put him in worse standing with all the mutual friends and acquaintances they may share.

Just as some examples.

The question really is whether it should really be necessary to have your chances totally shit on and discarded before you can move on. The answer is no btw. One month isn't going to magically fix all their issues even if they do get back together.

Many people try the fairy tail "what if" scenario and it does not pay off, only making the breakup recovery process fall 2 steps back. Move forward, never back.

This past weekend I went on two different dates with two different girls. 1 on Saturday and 1 on Sunday. I have been talking to both now for a couple of weeks and was just now able to schedule a date due to being busy on NYE.

I like both girls but I don't have as strong feelings/connection with either of them like I did the previous girl I dated. Do I keep dating them to see if my feelings grow or stop and move on now before they get too attached?

I have a second date planned with both of them. Although I'm starting to regret the one with the girl from Sunday. She texted me last night saying she was thinking of me a lot and that she missed me. Asking me if I thought of her yesterday. To be honest it was a little much after only one date. I'm thinking of cancelling the date with her and letting her know I'm not that into her. i just don't know how to say it.

It's useful sometimes to go on a second date to make sure it wasn't down to nervousness, the location or simply a bad day for that person.

I'd say go on a second date with the one you liked the most!

I think 2-3 dates to see if you like them is good. I'm assuming the last girl you dated, you dated for longer so maybe it's not best to compare so early on. I think strong feelings and connections form over time. That said if you really felt no interest at all then don't go out with them again.

As for getting too attached, as long as you're clear you're dating and not exclusive, you're fine. The one girl saying she missed you and stuff after 1 date is weird though. If you do end up going out with her again, it might be a good idea to have a conversation with her about what you're both looking for dating wise.

So quick update on Sunday girl. After our date Sunday she texted me asking me what I thought of her. I told her I had a good time and that I liked her and that I'd like to see her again. She told me that she liked me and that she really wanted to see where this could go. That made me uneasy. Then with the missing you yesterday, And just now I asked her how her day was going. She told me she started her period (which actually both girls have done and I thought it was funny since someone in this thread mentioned it not too long ago) and that she wishes I was there to hold her. I'm not alone and thinking this is a little much right?

Yes this is a bit too much. It's only been one date! If this like after your 4th date then no it's not weird, but your 1st?!

Anyway, just go on that 2nd date anyway to confirm what you think of her. You're still interested in her by the looks of it so just go for it. If you are no longer interested after the 2nd date, break it off.

Oh no! She'll like you too much!
You can't have that.

I'm saying, I have never been in a relationship where a girl attached too much has hurt the relationship.

You shouldn't write her off for that. It isn't a negative.

They are possibly, but not absolutely, negatives.

But these are major red flags. She doesn't know how to comport herself properly in the early stages of a relationship; it's possible that it only gets worse from here.

It potentially can be. Being too attached can cause problems if the other wants more space. Especially when one wants to move the pace faster than the other is comfortable with. People have boundaries. It's something that can develop into even worse problems down the road. I think it's definitely not something to completely write her off for right now but it's something to be cautious about.

You said you've never been in a relationship where the girl being too attached has hurt the relationship.... this is after one date with Jetman. That is quite the leap and I would be worried that she had the wrong idea about us and she might end up getting hurt.

JetMan07 How was the first date with Sunday girl? Did you even kiss? I'm wondering how good the date could have been to have her saying things like that. It feels more like it's just her and she's being desperate asking if you thought about her, like she wants to secure things fast.

The date was good. She lives about 30 - 45 min away from me so I drove there to meet her for lunch. She told me she had a family party later that day so I had to schedule a lunch date. We had lunch and talked. There were some brief moments of silence but probably because we were both nervous. She asked me if I wanted to do anything after lunch, which I wasn't prepared for because I thought she had a party, but I didn't have anything planned so I said sure and we went and got frozen yogurt. We drove in her car and we actually looked around a bookstore I had wanted to visit and then got yogurt.

We talked some more and then she asked if I'd like to catch a movie (we where right next to the theater) and I said sure. So we went and watched Coco. We actually ran into her cousin and her kids there. But anyways after the movie she dropped me back off at my car. We did make out a little bit before I left. Which I enjoyed. So yeah it was a good date and it was longer than I thought it was going to be.

I don't know. I mean I like her and I find her attractive and everything. I just don't have that feeling I get when I really like someone. I'm not sure how to explain it. That's why I wanted to go on a second date with her.

Present and handle yourself better than the competition. Women are not always as attracted to looks as men are to womens looks. If it was so impossible then how come this topic is full of people getting dates through online dating, you think Era is a congregation of the hottest buff dudes?

This. Men are much more visual than women. It really depends on what she is attracted to (and you might be surprised), Just be yourself.

That sounds like a really nice date. I can see why she's excited to see you again but even still she is coming on a bit too strong. Not enough to cancel a second date but i'd Be mindful of her. I guess I was trying to see if her behavior seemed overly attached.

For me if I like a girl and find her attractive and had a decent date, I'll always want a second one. So you made a good call there. I don't know about the feeling you're talking about but I guess something more emotional or butterflies? I actually used to be like that. With my ex, I remember after the first date feeling really giddy and super elated. But I also look back on that relationship and see how over-invested I was about being in a relationship and how it lead to that one falling apart. So even now that I'm dating two girls and I definitely like them, I'm not having that same feeling of butterflies but I think maybe that's a good thing? I think maybe those feelings can develop as you get closer to someone. Not sure if that applies to you but hopefully it's helpful.

I am kinda in the same situation you're in. How long have you been dating two girls? This is my first time actually dating more than one girl at once.

I had already nuked it when I was in my last relationship. I had created a new one on Monday but it kept glitching out and wasn't working properly. Had to nuke it again yesterday to even get things up and running. I should have been more clear sorry.

But yes it feels good to start getting back into it.

I actually got a second date? Our first wasn't memorable, but it wasn't awful. We sat and talked for about an hour over coffee and pie. I wasn't really feeling any connection there, but she didn't send up and red flags either so that's a plus. But she texted me this morning asking if I would be interested in meeting again, this time for actual food.

I'm patiently waiting for the punch line.

Still seeing that girl I mentioned before.

Still planning on leaving Brighton to move to Montreal.

Still don't really see any possible future for the relationship.

Both of us aware of this, and growing progressively more attached to one another.

It feels kind of messed up to pursue this, and spend so much time together, but I'm having a good time with her.

I enjoy talking to her, I enjoy playing video games with her, I enjoy sex and intimacy with her.

Have you guys talked about how close you're getting and how it's not a good thing because in the end she's going to get hurt? Or do you keep avoiding the conversation like you did last time and change the subject to something else?

We actually tend to talk about it to some extent, every time we meet up. There's no ambiguity that if my Visa application goes through successfully, I'm going to leave.

Are you sure a relationship can't be a good thing, even if it'll hurt in the end? Short term relationships aren't a terrible thing to get involved in, as far as I'm aware.

Have you ever gotten that feeling when you first meet someone? I struggle with this as well, since the only time I've ever felt very strong feelings towards someone was with friends who I'd known for months at the time it happened. I've never felt like I was really into someone even on the second/third/fourth dates. So I do think it's something that healthily develops over time once you've gotten to know them and are able to gauge their influence on your life/thoughts/feelings.

Good.

I'm not going to give you the answer you want to hear, because in all honesty I don't think its a good thing. She is going to get hurt because you like being intimate with her. Plain and simple. As far as I'm aware most short term things are usually more casual than what you have going on, hence why they aren't terrible. But to get so intimate with someone you're only going to see for a short time seems unnecessary and selfish.

Haha no kidding, it's my first time dating more than one girl at once too. I've been dating the first one for almost 2 months and the second for a month.

Oh so you were dating one girl for a month and then met someone else and started dating them too? See I started talking to both of these girls at the same time. I really don't like doing it. It's expensive for one haha.

Only 2 times have I had really strong feelings for someone when meeting them for the first time. Of course I haven't dated a lot. The last girl I dated I felt that way. I'm still not over her if i'm being honest. I thought putting myself back out there and dating other girls would help me get over her faster. But I don't think it's helping. I don't know maybe I shouldn't be dating anyone right now.

Good.

I'm not going to give you the answer you want to hear, because in all honesty I don't think its a good thing. She is going to get hurt because you like being intimate with her. Plain and simple. As far as I'm aware most short term things are usually more casual than what you have going on, hence why they aren't terrible. But to get so intimate with someone you're only going to see for a short time seems unnecessary and selfish.

I mean, I don't enjoy relationships without intimacy. Intimacy itself, is what makes relationships worthwhile for me. I like sex, but I only enjoy it if I feel a strong connection with the person.

I also don't see how it's selfish if both people are okay with the situation.

Oh so you were dating one girl for a month and then met someone else and started dating them too? See I started talking to both of these girls at the same time. I really don't like doing it. It's expensive for one haha.

Yeah that's how it went for me. Though I actually have been on more dates with the second girl as the first one has a super busy schedule and usually cancels on me. It is expensive but both girls I'm dating are really forward about splitting so it's not as bad as it could be. I kind of was apprehensive about it at first too, I mainly did it because I thought I should. I actually quite like it, like if I was only dating the first girl, I would be frustrated only seeing her 4 times in 2 months but now I can be casual about it.

How long has it been since the last girl you dated? Was it a girlfriend or just someone you were dating? Either way, at least wait it out and have a few dates with these girls before you decide you can't be dating now. I feel like when it comes to past relationships we tend to romanticize our feelings and maybe it's not a bad thing if you don't have that feeling you remember yet. Not every person you date needs to set your heart a flutter.

If this is a one night stand, that's acceptable but not when this girl is getting closer and closer to you. She wants you to stay with her and sex/intimacy is just probably one of the things that she must do hoping that you'll stay and change your mind.

You on the other hand, can do whatever you want. That's why I feel really sorry for the girl and not you. However at the same time, I'm pissed at the girl too. The inevitable is coming and she knows it, yet she is still willing to hold on to you. End it woman, before it gets even worse!

I mean if you truly love this woman, you'll do anything in your power to make it work. Once you get your visa accepted, you're off whether she likes it or not. Are you going to do a long distance relationship? If not, then why the heck are you having this "strong connection" with the girl, when you are just going to snap it over Canada? Do you even care about how she's going to feel when you leave?

I'm just...bluffed, and I can see why he said what you're doing is selfish.
