Yeah sure, comparing notes is cool with me.
I had a female colleague shifting through mine, but I'm not totally convinced she's done much to improve on what it already was or wasn't

Always been told that the most important thing is the photos on the profile, i do try a bit of variety but i never seem to have that edge or something that catches ladies interest, wont stop me trying though

) and also have her number

just playing it calmly and seeing where it goes. wish me luck.

ah never mind i sort of got friend zoned

she realised she isn't ready for dating or a relationship at this time, as she has other issues to deal with (she has aspergers). disappointing but worth a shot i guess, at least she was honest.

That's something though I guess, to still be talking
In my experience, when I've been 'friend zoned' or heard the word 'friends' it's been their way of saying
I find you repulsive and never want to see you again

In my very limited experience,I try to see that in a positive sense. I get on well with my friend Rach who is gay and v much seem to be a platonic brother-like friend to some other ladies. It's hard feeling you"re no more than just a friend even though some wd say it's anx exalted position in many ways.
Knowing when, if and how I cd or shd push boundaries is the conumdrum I find myself with.

its a little bit confusing to be honest trying to work out how she feels, so im just seeing what happens.

happy new year
things are still going on with the online girl, just chatting might be going somewhere, tricky to tell but you never know if you don't try i guess.

That's the spirit.
Still almost utter silence on the online dating thing for me although I did get a 'Yes' to 'meet me' on POF though. I'm going to message them, but knowing my luck she only clicked that accidentally.
In other news, I decided to join one of these "Meet up" groups and actually go out and meet people (radical huh?) to make new friends. I go to my first meeting on Saturday which will be a group walk.

the meet me feature is so annoying, such and such wants to meet you! i message them and get nothing in response, yery strange, so i usually ignore it most of the time.
good luck on saturday let me know how it goes.
