I have to say in the early days I thought online dating was for sad acts, eventually with all the fuss I gave it a go. It was mostly fun and by then most profiles had pics. One stands out because she must have had a beta version of photoshop at that time as she had to be a lot older in reality than her pic and what's she was saying but no matter. She also thought an awful lot of herself and her amazing highly paid job (I tended to avoid saying what my job was because it attracted snobs and those that fancied a bf with the job rather than the actual bf) so that sort of chat wouldn't impress me. Soon enough I wanted to get away and talk to someone else saw in the bar, so my way out was to pick up my phone excusing myself, that I had to check in with my mother! That had the desired effect and she made some excuse to go chat to someone she supposedly recognized. I did get talking to that other girl in the same bar and had a really good time with her, the 1st girl now giving all sorts of looks which made things a bit uncomfortable so gave me the excuse to suggest getting out of there. It was late, bar closing time so it was back to hers. Kept in touch for a while until I moved to another city because of work in the end which looking back was pity as she was a keeper!
