Hmmm... This kind of comes across as if you think of PD as a sort of last resort or place to go to out of desperation. But I know things can get misconstrued over text so... Feel free to let me know if I'm picking up the wrong vibe Interesting... I got a different vibe.
I assumed nofacue, out of frustration, embarked upon an internet search which serendipitously led him to PD. Cool = a happy coincidence! That's what I would have thought if it weren't for the "desperation at its finest" line. Resorting to PD because of online dating and other avenues not working out is desperation at its finest? But again could be reading it wrong for sure

I see your point newjess . I still took it to mean his desperation had a happy result, but I may be wrong.
(My glass is half full today so I am looking on the bright side. LOL)

I assumed nofacue , out of frustration, embarked upon an internet search which serendipitously led him to PD. Cool = a happy coincidence! Thank you for understanding what I couldn’t get out in text. Sorry for the confusion, but PD is definitely a happy coincidence.

Sorry for the confusion, but PD is definitely a happy coincidence. Sorry for misreading. Glad you feel that way nofacue Unfortunately it is not too uncommon for guys to show up here feigning acceptance of devs only to later show their judgemental/negative side toward it eventually. So I'm sure that puts me on the defense a bit. But I appreciate you clarifying and glad that PD has been a positive experience for you

I was almost going to start a new thread about this, but then I had a look through the archives and found this So I'm going to revive it with a tinder story, in hopes that others will join with their experiences Ironically enough, this is the only bad experience I've ever had with tinder (which is saying a lot, if you know tinder). It's probably because I take so much time and care screening them, before I meet them, because tinder is so full of people just looking for hook-ups (which I'm not). So this guy seemed nice judging by the messages we exchanged. We met at an Italian restaurant and it became clear very quickly that this was going to be no fun at all. He was a little awkward at first, didn't say much, didn't ask me anything (which at this point I thought was just nerves), so I started asking a few questions to get the conversation going. And boy, did he get going. He talked and talked and talked... about himself. About what he did and what he liked and how great and amazing he was and about his friends and his family and his dog and God knows what. At first I was still trying to participate in the conversation, asking questions to keep it flowing. But as time progressed I was getting a tiny bit annoyed that he didn't show any interest at all in me. Not once did he ask me anything back. Like, nothing. So I started here and there, to just say something about myself without him asking. Maybe he's just too excited/nervous/whatever to realize what he's doing, I thought. But no. He just blatantly interrupted me at the first possible moment. During the short moments that he wasn't talking, he had this look on his face that tells you he's not listening to you, he's just thinking of the next thing HE can say. So then I stopped trying to say anything about myself and also stopped asking questions. I usually hate awkward silence, but I decided to use it as a weapon in this situation. I just stopped communicating and let the awkward silence descend upon us. I didn't really care much anymore at this point, because I knew I wasn't going to meet him again, but I was still interested to see if he realized what he was doing, if I just fell silent. But nope. After half a minute of awkward silence (which I relished that evening), he woudl just think of something else to tell me about himself. It really got pretty hilarious at this point and I decided to just enjoy my food (which was fantastic, btw). And then two women about my age and a guy sit down on the table next to us - like, right next to us - and start talking about...... bad tinder dates. I lost it. I was very busy not laughing out loud for the rest of the evening and concealing my chuckles and grins. And I wonder if they realized what was going on at the table next to them So, any fun/not so fun tinder experiences, anyone? (I had a couple more awkward/strange dating situations through other online dating sites, which I'd be happy to share, if this thread gets going again )

So, any fun/not so fun tinder experiences, anyone? (I had a couple more awkward/strange dating situations through other online dating sites, which I'd be happy to share, if this thread gets going again ) Ahhh, the old awkward dinner date! It's a classic. At least you sort of had fun with it after you realized where it was headed. My best worst OKCupid experience was when my date showed up drunk to pick me up (I can't drive.) I didn't know her well at all beyond some IM conversations, so I mistook drunkenness for nervousness at first. She also had a strange way of talking that took me a bit to get used to. It was like she was stuck in fast forward! At dinner she hit the sake hard and got progressively louder and more intoxicated. I was in my early 20's and SLIGHTLY more naive than I am today, which is why I tolerated it. Plus, she had great boobs. On the ride home, we swerved and barely missed hitting a deer crossing the road. Me and my scooter were not tied down in my minivan, so an accident would have been catastrophic! Afterwards, she was not in a condition to drive the 45 minutes to her house. After raiding whatever liquor I had at home and insisting on watching Brokeback Mountain, I was put out of my misery when she passed out. I wish I was exaggerating this story. In fact, I'm leaving out some details.

I definitely had fun on that bad tinder date I've had my fair share of awkward dates, but that one was just a caricature of the classic - the guy was truly a marvel

I've been on so many dates in the past few years and I'm honestly getting tired. I honestly enjoy the truly shitty ones because they're fun to laugh about with my friends but it's just getting old now.

I've been on lots of dates in the past year and I'm also getting really tired of it. Most of them weren't shitty at all - but that can get frustrating as hell, too. Meeting all those perfectly nice guys, but there's just nothing there... So I really do enjoy the few shitty ones I get, because at least they're entertaining Though, I understand how that can get old pretty quickly, too.

I have been having bladder spasms and went without my abdominal binder today. Besides the low blood pressure and the less-than-ideal feeling that comes with that, I stayed home today because my belly looks HUGE and my shirt barely buttons. Quadriplegic vanity. lol

I met this guy on Tinder and he was really nice so we decided to meet up. The first minute I saw him I realized how much he resembled my brother (this guy was a different ethnicity than my brother but they had such similar faces) I never told him but we fell out touch thankfully and it never escalated to anything more than friends.

I don't really have a story, but I'm not a fan of apps like Tinder, talking with some of the girls on there is dreadful, I have to initiate all conversations which I'm okay with at this point. I however get frustrated when I have to do a verbal juggling act and try to entertain the girl till she decides to jump in or ghost my ass, I honestly feel like a conversation prostitute. I think I'm done with dating for awhile, I'm just gonna focus on myself and my goals.

I think I'm done with dating for awhile, I'm just gonna focus on myself and my goals. Wait none of the girls initiate conversation? Majority of the guys I match with never start the conversation so I'm doing it almost everytime. I'm not into women so I have never swiped on any. Its amazing how many guys wont even respond to my messages. Why swipe right and not respond?
