How long have you been in OLD: I started back when I was 18, in college, before OLD really took off, on my local college intranet. So, it's been about 13 years....depressing.
Last Old Meet/Date: I guess it's been about 2 months.
How did it go: Went fine, very pleasant & fun.
Is there/has there been a 2nd date/meet: There was, but we decided to just be friends & I've since decided to take a break from OLD until after the holidays.
How did it go: 1. I met a guy for the 2nd time last Friday. He liked to talk you into the "future"(Hope you understand what I mean:--)). 2. 1st meet with a new guy. He accepted my offer for paying my share (totally $16 for us). And then he said something like: I know Chinese girls wanted boyfrieds to pay. But you did in an American way. Hmmm...is it an American way?? Or he thought that I just came America last month. Should I give him the double of benefit?? He called yesterday and wanted to have the dinner this Friday.
Is there/has there been a 2nd date/meet: Yes.
I met one guy from lavalife on June. We dated exclusively almost for 2 months. Then he broke up with me over the phone one day.
The date records since I uploaded my profile again on Sep: 1 guy: had 5 dates. That's the end. 1 guy: stood me up. 1 guy: went for a 10-days vacation after the 1st meet. He emailed me after he was back, he wanted to meet at the weekend. I was busy on last weekend and replied how about next weekend. Next monday he said he met some one during the weekend and wanted to see how the thing is going with her. 1 guy: going to have the 3rd date this Sunday. 1 guy: 2 dates. I haven't heard from him since last Friday (our 2nd date). 1 guy: 1st meet last week. 3 guys: only had 1st meet. No mutual connections. 1 guy: planned to meet last night for the 1st time. He cancelled it one hour earlier before meeting.
Best OLD Advice: be honest with your feeling and be honest with others.
