Hi all,


I took Peg's advice and posted a profile on POF. I was amazed at how quickly I got responses and the guys who responded seem like decent human beings (of course time will tell on that). I met the first one today over lunch and he seemed nice enough. We have similar interests - camping, gardening, the outdoors, etc. and he seemed like a regular kind of guy - not self absorbed, or twitching at all. He has training in Dallas next week so we're supposed to get together the week after. Meanwhile there are three other promising guys who've contacted me so who knows.

Yes, I count no twitching as a non-negotiable.


Does that make me picky or selective?

Is twitching one of the criteria or search options with POF?

Nope, There really aren't any criteria on POF. I haven't bothered searching yet. I was thinking it would be as slow as EH so put the profile up thinking it would be months before any response and I had several PMs withing 24 hours.

I hope it goes well for you. I had two POF dates, one talked about his ex the entire date then wanted to exchange saliva at the end... talkin oooooooooo


the other had his own business and that was all he talked about the whole dinner. I learned a lot about sheet manufacturing and distribution to hotels though.


Truly hoping this works for you!!!!! I felt like prey on that site and got kinda creeped out. I hope it is infinitely better for you!

Actually I tried it for awhile and found it should have been called POL "Plenty 'O Losers"

Somehow I have trouble lookng at any of these dating sites as "plenty of losers". I am on there .... LOL .... as are some really nice people I know through work who have made some very good contacts. On POF, I just keep the IM part closed, screen who I choose to contact including who I am willing to allow on my IM program, insist that the person communicated until I feel comfortable meeting, choose a neutral public place for first contact, use the block user when necessaryand just enjoy the rest of the ride by using their poetry forum as a way to just get to know others.
