Plenty of Fish?

Post Reply New Topic

So, I recently set up a profile there.

I usually have pretty good luck getting dates on sites like OKcupid. I've actually had to break things off with the last three women I met there because they were just too needy and I couldn't handle the constant texting/emails/calls/etc.

Because of this, I gave up dating for a long time. But, the thing is, I would still like to find an independent woman who's okay with remaining independent and just wants an occasional dinner/concert/other activity partner.

So, I tried PoF.
I messaged a woman who was a bit young for me (33), but seemed to be funny, cool, intelligent, independent, and VERY attractive. I didn't expect to get a response back from her...

She hasn't messaged back, but she did 'favorite' me. At this point, I'm not sure what to do. My first message was mainly just a humorous way to get her attention. Should I message her again and ask for a date? Should I just leave it alone since she didn't message back?

I'm not really sure how to proceed here. There are too many passive ways interact with people on Plenty of Fish. The one good thing about OKcupid is that you really have to message people...

So, for those with experience on Plenty of Fish, what does it mean when a woman favorites you?

Could she actually like me?

I don't want to be a pest, but I don't want to pass up the chance to meet one of the few 'real' women I've been attracted to in recent years either.

I don't think you would be a pest if you send her an other message, but remember most women get about 25 messages a week on most dating sites (random number based on reports from my women friends). So in the second message ask her about something that interst her and tell your experience with that subject. If you are lucky she will reply.

Anyway all relationships recuire loads of calls/ texting and email, to keep the interest going, to bond and create shared memories. Make her one of your intrests in life and your fine.
