This happens all the time to me. It's just spam bots. The profiles quickly get eliminated, but the notifications don't. OKC has become pretty useless as far as I can tell.

Being the overly available good guy isn't a bonus imo. You don't have to be a dick but setting your own terms is fine and indicative of confidence. The whole being in a diff country and that dynamic I'm not going to try to factor in.
I don't disagree with you, but I think in fossil's case it's a little soon to cut ties, especially after 1 real date. Right now he doesn't know what "getting over her ex" means, which can be anything from "he owes me $50 and then im done with him" to "im still in love with him and am trying to get him back." Going on a second date and not bringing it up can't hurt anyone.

The Eng/Fr site was just something I had been doing while in the USA to work on my French, but I was specifically choosing girls in Lyon in my age bracket and got lucky to find an attractive "single" girl. I'm no longer using the site as I'm now in France.

I start 23 hours per week of intensive French language classes soon, and am also trying to play 20-25 hours of poker per week, go to a yoga studio here regularly, and will probably add a girl to the mix per week from Tinder/OKC, so my plate is plenty full.

In addition, in a month or 2, my French will be at a level which should make it way easier to attract French girls, b/c most are not as willing (or able) to date in English as some of their more northern Euro neighbours and my French is not quite at a level where it is possible for me to date solely in French.

We don't Skype anymore, it was only while I was living in the USA.

I think it was important to send the message that I'm not just gonna be the new guy in the country who will wait around for her for months to do as she pleases. At least now she knows that I won't hesitate to cut ties, and she also knows that I've seen at least one other girl and have other options.

Yah I plan to go on the 2nd date and not bring any of this up, and give her a bit of space to feel out how she'd like to proceed.

Anyway, I plan on just having fun the next couple dates and seeing how she reacts. From the tenor of her texts tonight, I get the impression that she will probably be ok with moving things along sooner rather than later.
Sounds good, carry on.

This is just checking,but when a woman says she is looking for her "King" in her profile,she means BBC, right?

I would assume it's a bdsm kinda thing. Would be very surprised if it meant something BBC related.

It means she thinks way too highly of herself, IMO

It means she thinks shes a queen and prob expects some financial support.

Personally i'd avoid, too many expectations and a potential egomaniac.

Tbf i'll take a 7 over a 9 most nights.

I just wondered cause several ads have mentioned it,putting
"King" in quotes,and they were mostly larger white women.
Plenty of other trainwrecky things were often mentioned,so it's not like that was the only red flag.

It's mostly larger and in general less desirable women b/c they're the ones who will get used for sex by guys who have no intention of dating them, so they think that all men are pigs and thus post overly cynical things in their profiles and stuff like "where is my Prince Charming/King?" or "where are the real men?".

Yeah,the ones with an attitude are immediately out of play.

I know in some places that is looked at as feisty,but it's not a good look,even hot ones,cause I just wonder why would you be here with a bad attitude.

But it happens in real life too,I meet people with just generally ****ty outlooks all the time.

It's just women who don't know dating/the opposite sex and get frustrated that they don't know how to get what they want.

The male version is the guys who get no responses b/c they don't know what they're doing, then claim all women are shallow and will only settle for guys who are 6'2"+, with a 250k/year salary, and good looks.

I had a weird thing happen on LinkedIn a few days ago. Yes I know LI is not a dating website.

Under "People You May Know" I saw a girl who was very pretty. She's an 8 or 9. I requested to connect with her and a few days later she accepted. Then I get a message from her:

"Hi (my name)! Thanks for the invitation to connect. How was your Labor Day weekend? Are you as excited for fall as I am!?"

Below that it had all of her work info as a signature block (she owns a business).

I replied about my weekend and my nephews and she asked me how old my nephews were. I told her and she responded with "That's a fun age! I have 1 year old twins."

I did some internet sleuthing and in one of her photos I can see that she has a wedding ring on. I didn't know what her angle was so I wrote "Very cool. Is it tough to date when you have 1 year olds?"

She wrote "Does my profile say I'm single? I've been happily married for four years so no dating for me ha"

I replied "I guess I just assumed you were because I don't usually get messages from women who are happily married"

She wrote "Well this is a business networking site. Not a dating site."

After that she did whatever the unfriended version of LinkedIn is. The next day, I saw that she was looking at my profile.

Women be cray cray.

I mean, I think it's pretty crazy to send a Linkdin request to some random just because you find them attractive. And I'm not really sure which is weirder, that you sent it or that she accepted it.

Dale,

Lots of people just accept all LinkedIn requests to expand their professional/career network/reach.

I have no idea how it works, since I've never used it. But I take it then that adding someone simply because you find them attractive and, presumably, have hopes of meeting/dating them is weirder?

Yes,if you know the purpose of LinkedIn.

I'm sure some ingenious people can work the dating angle in,but it's supposed to be work related.

LinkedIn dating is more the long game. You have to connect, network, and then eventually have an affair at some conference in Boise.

You sent her the request. She wrongfully assumed you had some interest in her business and was warming you up with some small talk.
