PlentyofFish.com – Date Night

Rick.Seymour — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 21:49:43 +0000

PlentyofFish.com now has a feature called “Date Night” which allows you to make yourself available for a date next Friday night. This facility is an interesting one as most of the single people on there are looking for a date leading to something more (like a long term relationship), although some enjoy the dating scene more than the idea of a fulfilling relationship.

So why have a feature on the website where you can “register” yourself as being available next weekend…. why not just have a little black book or a calendar where you can list yourself as FREE/ BUSY. Like an Outlook calendar. It would be good to have a calendar entry set to your Google Calendar or Outlook when you’ve arranged a date with someone, and then afterwards give feedback….. or whether you decided to run for the hills after!!!

PlentyofFish.com

I could hardly have a blog without commenting on the websites that I partake in.

PlentyofFish.com is one of them. It’s a web based dating site. It’s free. You dont get spam or any random crap. Apart from emails when you get a message on the site (although you can turn that off). You can upload upto 8 photos. There are personality surveys. You can search for people based on postcode (well distance from a postcode)

I like it mainly because (although this could be a marketting ploy) its the work of one person whos made a philanthropical decision to put together a website to bring people together. I do have to say that having in excess of 80000 people online from all over the world takes some serious bandwidth and I doubt that this could really be the work of one man.

Obviously this site is in competition with Match.com, MySinglefriend.com and deos a good job if a little basic to bring people together… but in the end .. what more do most people want…. a photo and a bit of free text… hey… i could do that!

Donna has just told me about another free site… www.freedating.co.uk which i’ll give a go too…. recommendations in this area are always a good thing. Although I’m no so sure on the “my single friend” idea… blind dates would so not be something that I’d be interested in. Being set up with someone just because you are both singel really… doesn’t mean you “have something in common”

A Bad case of the Exs

Rick.Seymour — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 22:56:22 +0000

The past few days have been quite interesting for me when it comes to dating etc etc in that someone I’d had a couple of dates with, got a bad case of the ex over new year (our dates were in 2008). Basically over new year she’d heard a piece of music that reminded her of her ex (who really messed with her head) and that got her thinking “was I the right kind of person for her”.

*shrugs*

After a couple of dates are you really ready to be thinking those kind of things… Have to say… i did good in that I just literally shrugged and said that if she had made that kind of decision that there was no way that i could or should try and change her mind.

All in all… it has been an interesting (re) introduction to the idea of progressive dating…. i’m sure 2009 will be …. bizarre

Can one click?

Rick.Seymour — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 09:19:12 +0000

Can one click really change your life? How can one action affect where you are going?

Recently I had a conversation regarding a decision I made many many years ago. Basically back when I was a nipper in 1998 I applied for and got a place at Dundee University and booked accomodation at Seabraes Flats, which at the time was the number one University for Biochemistry. However …. long story short, I cancelled my place because of a satan in a skirt woman and did my degree at Lancaster.

The discussion was, not about how this decision affected my life but for the person who took my place on the course, who took my university room. Who was this person? That wouldnt have got a place at Dundee were it not for me making that choice. I should track them down!!!

I love choas theory.

Can one click in a web browser change your life? On a dating site, probably, clicking on a person who could be just right for you, allowing you to get to meet that person that you wouldn’t have the opportunity to meet in any other way… so yes… one click can change your life!
