Author Ellener Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 My date tonight was lovely again, missed the art installation stuck in traffic so was sat outside drinking tea and chatting then went to an art gallery and for a walk near one of the universities. I get the feeling that we're more destined to be friends not lovers, but that's ok. We'll see, it's fun finding out 😃 Link to post Share on other sites
chillii Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 At least it was a nice time anyway , it's not quite as disheartening that way is it. But l'm sorry it's looking like a friend thing yep , had a few of those myself. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
nospam99 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 @ellener. I lost track. Is the guy you're dating an OLD connection? If so, does that affect your assessment of whether OLD is genuine? Link to post Share on other sites

If so, does that affect your assessment of whether OLD is genuine? You know, I am thinking I am starting to tell by the OLD photos which are real or not; maybe that's in my head, but some of them are just too too wonderful, like travel brochures or something! Anyway this is the second nice guy I've actually met with from Match, and I did have a long phone chat with a third, so obviously some of the profiles are real ( and I'm happy to be wrong! ) Seeing my new date again tonight...third date in two weeks...he'll meet my dog and a handful of my meet-up friends too ( just in case I imagined him???!!! ) This is proceeding in a lovely way, thanks everyone for encouraging me, you are the best 🌻 1 Link to post Share on other sites
nospam99 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 @ellener. Yeah, certain photos AND the essay. I actually put more value on the essay for my 'genuine' filter. Photos filter attractiveness first and then genuine. And in my demographic (I search women 55-68 with more emphasis on 58+), I think I see very few fake profiles anyway. My bigger concern is 'zombie' profiles where I can't tell if the woman is long gone from Match. I wish the site's 'activity icon' (green solid circle, green and yellow hollow circles) would indicate out to a week or two rather than only the last 72 hours. I'm glad you've had some OLD 'success'. Good luck for continuing 'progress' with this gentleman :D 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Author Ellener Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 Our walk was really nice, my dog likes my date and so I think did my friends! Think I'll switch my 'match' profile off again for a bit, I don't want to see more than one person at a time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I was already so attached to my friend, and I also live in kind of a dysfunctional current living situation....but you know what, loving people is ok. And this is a hell of a lot functional than the man I was married t before. I made a lot of excuses for him! Enough already.... Link to post Share on other sites
