Plenty of Fish?

[N cee thirty]

i wonder what her reaction would be if you said you had no money for this coming week to go out on, you'll either not hear from her or she'll play her part

So..... anyone still using online datey things?

After being royally fucked over by someone (who I met in real life), I'm now back on with Tinder. Getting tons of matches actually, I dunno if it's just become more popular in over the past year while I've not been using it, or maybe I'm just more attractive to women around Leeds instead of London (my profile picture has always been the same).

Anyway, I had my first ever real life Tinder experience, which I think is worth sharing.

Got a match with this girl who almost immediately messages me: "Hiiiii".

We chatted a bit, discovered what she was doing in Leeds, etc etc. Nothing particularly special. I wasn't gigantically keen on her anyway - she was one of those matches who you sort of have second thoughts about after further scrutinising/objectifying her photos.

She then asks if I'd like to meet up at some point in the week for a drink and a chat. Personally I thought it was too soon - I'd rather do a bit of messaging first to see if we have anything remotely in common. So I told her a partial lie and said my mate was over for the week. This was true, apart from he wasn't actually going to be round for a couple of days yet.

Two days later I was on campus sorting something out. My phone then vibrates. Message: "I've just seen you on campus." Stalker alert

I replied saying something like, "Yeah hah, where did you see me?"

She responded, then asked what I was doing there. I told her that I was trying to sort something out but I'd been turned away because I lacked a certain document.

Now, she works on campus. Her response, broken down into two messages a few minutes apart, was:

"See I could have helped you with that."

"But I won't because I think you're mean."


I then proceeded to explain how my I hadn't lied about my friend coming over, and that I was also just a bit apprehensive about meeting so soon as I didn't really feel I'd gained any insight or connection from such limited messaging yet.

She was understanding, saying that she prefers to get straight in there and meet face to face. Then a few minutes later, another message: "Also I'm lovely."

I then had a bit of a 'yolo' moment and thought sod it, I'll go and meet her right now if she wants, even though I'm really not interested any more, I've got nothing else going on right now, so let's just do it. I told her we should meet. Unfortunately she was busy at that time so the chance was lost. I didn't care anyway, and stopped messaging.

My mate then came to stay for 5 days.

On the day my mate left, I get a message from her: "So how about this week then chatty?"

I ignored it.

Two days later, I was out having a pint with my mate. Another message comes through: "Cool." with a weird sort of playful-but-angry-looking emoticon.

With a few beers down us, my mate egged me on to just get in touch and see if she was about. So I did. I told her I was still a bit apprehensive about meeting, but "I'm a bit drunk with a mate, are you out tonight?"

She responded, yes she was out, going to some club in the city.

We messaged a bit, established what was going on, and went to meet her. One of her final two messages were:

"I'll update you where we are but join us."

"And apologies in advance for my boos which are most definitely on show."

Am I right in thinking these are the words of someone who's still relatively keen in some way?

Anyway here's how it ends:

We got there, met her, said hi, did that kind of awkward 'hello' hug when you meet a new person in a weird semi-datey situation where you don't know what to do. We were in the smoking area of this club.

"Are you on anything?" she says...
I reply, "Nah I'm just pissed as fuck."
"Oh right I've double-dropped."
.......

She then sits on the floor by the wall, some other random dude plonks himself next to her, arm around her, kisses her on the cheek, she doesn't talk to me all night and spends the whole time with him.



I messaged her the next day asking what that was all about. Her response was simply, "You weren't interested". She thought I didn't talk to her or dance with her enough in the club. Well actually I didn't talk or dance to her at all ! Because the reality is that 5 minutes after I got there with my mate, she was already with this other guy. She was just a clueless pillhead welcoming some attention, I think.

So that was my first Tinder experience.

You should've been straight in at the first message. Christ, man, you're not going to marry all of them.

Fucked a few girls this year off Tinder. Like I said a few years ago, single life is the best life (for me anyway). Roots out the crazies, still in contact with the normals. .

[Eddie Hitler]

By the way, MCN, you really are a petty old man aren't you. Don't worry, you're enemied. Continue karma bashing me for you own entertainment, it's fine. .

Perhaps I'll be the new JFK, or worse, at least he was getting some.

Last year I used Tinder for a month or so, dated maybe half a dozen girls from it, slept with like 4, worked out pretty well, certainly seemed easier than dating when I was last single at like 20. Then got back with my ex for a bit. Now I'm using it and another site again, and literally no interest at all. Like maybe 6 weeks using it every couple of days, probably swipe right to 2/3 girls, literally the only matches are with robots.

Am I significantly less attractive as a 26 year old than a 25 year old?

Ugh, time to accept I'm gonna die alone.

So I got married 3 months ago and very glad that whole dating game is in the past

Went for one of my best friend's younger sister nearly 5 years ago and never looked back

I smash 2 girls a week on tinder at the moment. To be fair, my amount of matches did triple when I put a picture of my back and arms on it, vaguely muscular and lots of ink.

I just tell them I'm not looking for owt except a drink and a shag and that's that. Although I am slightly in love with a Finnish girl on my course.

I'm off Tinder again now.

Well, it's still on my phone but I don't go on it any more. I was messaging a girl but just stopped replying to her and now don't go on the app.

I was just using it to pass free time before this semester started.

Actually on the night I went to meet this Tinder girl, I was with my mate first in a bar near to the club we ended up at. In this bar I got talking with this girl, and do you know when you just 'feel' like there's some sort of potential there? Quite rare for me but I tend to notice when it happens. Well I felt it when talking to her. Then my mate came along and said, "So, we gonna go meet this Tinder girl?" The girl I was talking to then changed her attitude hugely and suddenly seemed a little bit shocked/surprised.

It was annoying actually because it was quite nice talking to her. Anyway my main point is that it's more fun meeting people in real life through natural circumstances, at least in my opinion. Tinder spoiled the fun for me there.

Actually I think I'll delete Tinder completely.

Sorry for reviving the thread and then pulling out of things so soon

What happened to Metalangel?

And JFK. Could this be him?

Cheers all. We kept it quiet at first but apparently it was a giveaway to her family how much happier she suddenly started acting.


My advice is don't give up (whether searching online or off), and also that you'll probably know when you've found a keeper because it will feel so right you'll realise how wrong all the ones that came before were or would have been.
