Anyone try online dating sites?

[rangerrick012]

So I'm talking to this girl right now from okc. I'm pretty sure I could hit if I wanted to, BUT I'm scared she's gonna be a fattie when we meet. Which I don't mind big girls, and she has a cute face.

Other thing is, there's a girl I work with who I like but she's been friend zoning me hard. So I kinda just wanna hit something to get out some frustration. A slump buster, if you will lol. What to do, what to do.

Hey guys, saw this thread and wanted to post this for those that didn't know about this.

There's this thing called Grouper Social Club, which basically pairs you and two of your buddies with three women on a date at a predetermined location, and they pay for the first round of drinks. A friend on my flag football team invited me to one, and I'm going tomorrow night after my game, and the following Thursday.

Unfortunately, it's only in 20 major cities, but if you're in those cities, it could be a cool alternative to online dating. The fact that you can go with 2 of your friends kind of takes the pressure of things a little.

I'll report back tomorrow night or Friday with how it goes.

Here are some groupergrams, judging by the pictures, it seems pretty fun.

Interested in hearing how this goes.

Definitely keep us updated my man.

Re: Anyone try online dating sites?

Well, turns out there was a mix up and I didn't have to go tonight. I am penciled in for next Thursday, but that's going to be an extremely busy day and evening. I already know I'll be late for the grouper, but we'll see how it goes.

Re: Anyone try online dating sites?

So my situation has gotten a bit more complex lately. The girl I had been seeing has commitment issues seeing as she recently became un-engaged. So she has been scared to get close to me (according to her).

I sensed something was different so I got back on the dating sites and quickly started talking to two other girls. Not a week later, the original girl tells me she's been lying to me and that she's been talking to two other guys (She had told me multiple times that I was the only guy she was talking to). But she said she had ended things with them and just wanted to be with me. I wasn't upset that she was talking to other dudes, but I was pissed that she lied to me about it.

Her actions since then have seemed to indicate that she truly is sorry and does want things to work out with me. She still isn't ready to commit to anything and doesn't want to label it, but we both have very strong feelings for one another.

I've since stopped talking to one of the girls as she got way too serious, way too fast for me. But I am still talking to the other girl, and the original girl knows about this so its not like I'm lying about it.

My dilemma lies in that I really want to meet the other girl but I'm afraid of what will happen if things go well. We've had really long phone conversations and there's never been a dull moment. I'm afraid I'll hit it off with her and then have an even tougher decision to make. I'm the guy that doesn't want anyone's feelings to get hurt. But in the past I've always been the one who's feelings end up getting hurt, so maybe I just need to be selfish on this one.

Sorry for the rant. Just wanted to get everyone's thoughts on my situation.

Sounds like those two guys stopped talking to the original girl and you were her fall back. She isn't ready to commit because she is still playing the field and waiting for something "better" to come along. At least, that's what I am picking up.

I'd Drop her.

Plus add in the fact she was engaged and it ended makes me wonder more about her. I know that stuff happens, but might also mean she'll jump into things too quickly too. I dunno, given the 2 options this one seems to have the most issues that could cause problems.

You gotta go with your heart though...

Maybe meet the other, and if she's as good as you think then pick her. Otherwise she'll make it easier to pick the first girl.

So I just texted my boy about his grouper date last night and this was his response:

"Cute girls, great conversation and great sex. What else could you ask for lol."

I'm just here to help.

I agree with the other guys as well, but sometimes being the fall back guy isn't bad IF you made it aware you aren't going to be the fall back guy.

She either struck out with those two and you were left, or she decided you were the best of the crop. These things happen. But now that she's 0-2, you better believe she doesn't want to be 0-3. That's where you have the advantage. Most girls won't be easy about a guy talking to another girl. We know this. But she can't show that because she knows you'll bounce and there's that 0-3.

Play it to your advantage. I'm not saying you use her. She may very well be the one you choose, but don't close yourself off from something potentially better just because you got something in front of you.

In this case, you aren't dropping one to see what else is out there. You are keeping one and looking at what else is out there. That's a great position to be in if you're single.

You may not want to hurt feelings, but you're single. Time to be selfish when you want what's right for you.

This sounds incredibly genius. I want to be single now.

Ultimate wingman. You can stay sober so that you don't do anything dumb, and you let your two buddies two whatever the hell they want!

Any idea how to add Wingmen if you didn't do it on the initial sign up?

That's true. Very true.

[legendkiller5]

Yes, you send the invite via Facebook after you sign up. It'll send them the invite to their inbox. That'll prompt them to sign up and accept and all that. If you or they don't have a FB, I'm sure they can send it another way.

Plus the member concierge is hot.

Ah ok I had done that. So do I accept meet ups on their behalf, or do I link the three of us together somehow and we get matched with another group? Since I figured the other group would want to see all 3 people on the other side first.
