AIBU?

To think there must be a single female (25-35ish) in the south midlands with a sense of humour?

So I have to ask a few questions before I can convince a mnetter whom I met on an antenatal thread (June 2011) to stop lurking and post here.

  1. Is Leicester is in the South Midlands?
  2. Do you play the trombone?
  3. I say Hanson, you say....?

  1. I'd say East Midlands
  2. No
  3. Mmm-bop?


Did I pass?

Put a pic on your profile Ginocchio. I'm picturing you as a pizza dough twirler with a great big curly moustache at the minute!

The Juners are considering your responses and cooking tea for their dc's.

Is Leicester too far away?

Ginocchio · 24/07/2013 17:16

motherofsnortpigs no, not too far.

Sorry, being vague to avoid outing self - Ex was (is?) a lurker, & I'd rather keep some things private by posting about it on a public forum

Well it's good news from the Juners. Our lovely lady of Leicester would like to peruse your online profile. Can you pm me the details of the Internet dating site? Pretty please? Better still - I'll just double check what mn nn she is using atm and will pm you that and...

If you've followed that. You have passed the next test.

I'm too old for you by 2 weeks. Damn. You'd have to post a picture. Put it on your profile for 10 minutes and then remove it, that will do.

We need some facts;

Do you have all of your teeth (in your mouth)?
Job?
How many children do you have and do you plan on having any more?
Own house?
Can you drive?
What would your best friend say about you?
What's your idea of the perfect weekend?
Do you like football?

Ginocchio · 24/07/2013 20:57

motherofsnortpigs just sent it to you.

gordy the football....

LadyMary Don't be put off by Totally's choice of age range - besides, I'm sure 2 weeks would count as "ish"...


Ok:

Teeth: check
Job: check - dull professional
Children: 2. Never say never - but right now 2 seems like a good limit.
House: Yes
Driving: Yes
Best Friend says: "You, Ginocchio, are popular and loved" (from a conversation last week)
Perfect weekend: anything that combines family, friends, food, drink & music.
Football: No. Just no. I can't remember the last full match I watched. Is Gascoigne still playing?

I feel your pain Ginoccio (having read the other thread). Online dating is a nightmare.
I also have one impertinent (but also rather pertinent) question...
If you are 34, why is your lower age limit 25, and yet your upper age limit only one year older than yourself.
See, I have done online dating, and I am a bit Hmm at the number of men who would happily date much younger, but no older.
And I say this with love.

Ginocchio · 24/07/2013 21:33

IfNotNowThenWhen don't blame me! - It was TotallyEggFlipped that chose that age range! Smile

TBH I don't generally see age as a question - it's about whether you have a connection.

IfNotNow - it wasn't Ginocchio who put the age range.

Uh huh, Uh huh.
Well, ok then. I am just a teeny bit cynical through my years of internet dating.
Having said that, I do normally prefer younger men!

Oh my goodness, what have a let myself in for? Hello Ginocchio, I'm MOSP's friend (and also NOT Hanson's number one fan)

We have stalked you on the Internet conducted thorough social research & have worked out that I live the other side of Harbs to you & we share some interests.

If you'd like to meet for coffee some time, I'd happily oblige, even just so that the contributors to this thread get something to feel warm & fuzzy about. That's if you want to, of course.

I'm a few days off of 26, full-time student & part-time peri singing teacher, mother to a 2-year-old & general normal person with a sense of humour (you judge whether it's a good one or not)
