    My date tonight

    So, got chatting to this lady I "met" via a well-known dating website. She said she was going round to her friend's place for a glass of wine or two, why didn't I drive down to Dorset (from Maidenhead) to pick her up, then we'd go out for a drink, I could stay over (in the spare room of course).

    So I said I'd think about it. Had a shower, sent her a text asking for her friend's postcode where I would pick her up from. No reply.

    Set off along the M4. Stopped off and called her, left a voicemail. No reply.

    Went down the A34, onto the A303, stopped off at a Little Chef for a coffee. Sent another text and left another message. No reply.

    Decided to turn around and go home, after all, I didn't know where I was aiming for.

    Got home, ate tea, drank lots of red wine. Received a text. "So sorry, didn't have a signal at my friend's house, thought you weren't coming".

    Okay, so I was pissed off, spent 2.5 hours in car, did 120 mile round trip for nothing. Replied to her text in that vein, now she won't speak to me.

    Have I blown it? Or did she? Should I give her a second chance?

    I reckon she just bottled it - probably not best to snap at her though. Either you say you didn;t mean it in which case she'll label you as an angry knob or you say it was the wine in which case she'll label you an alcho.

    Personally I wouldn't bother. If she can't be arsed to get a signal to message you then just tell her to sling it.


    Earlier today I got a text from a friend (the kind with benefits) asking me over". I got this at 19:45. She lives a 3 hour drive away (Leicester - Cardiff).

    Some women are just mental and don't think.

      Seriously, you set off on such a journey without even knowing where you were actually going to? Silly, silly, silly

      Hint: some people will wind you up in this manner for their own entertainment. They may not even be female, and they may be a group, having a rare old laugh down the pub.

      I'm not saying this is definitely the case in this instance, but a bit more confirmable information should be sought before embarking on such an Odyssey. On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog.

          Why are you spending the evening chasing around the south of england on the stength of an unconfirmed suggestion of an invitation from a stranger ?


          Women will lead you up the garden path for their own amusement at the best of times, don't be such a willing plaything.

            Go on. Send me another message big boy.
            How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                    Quote of the day above though I would change the 'some' to 'most'

                    Anyway Moose I would **** her off, okay she might have bottled it but at least she could of told you, I dont buy the 'cant get reception cr*p'. Get back on line send as many women msgs or wink at them and then wait, this is my approach and I've met 6 different girls in 3 months and a got my leg over with 3 of them. Though to be honest I dont think I could get anything serious from online dating as the girls get so many msgs etc that they just play the guys off.
