Candle light and soul forever
A dream of you and me together
Say you believe it, say you believe it


Free your mind of doubt and danger
Be for real, don't be a stranger
We can achieve it, we can achieve it


Come a little bit closer
Baby, get it on, get it on
'Cause tonight is the night when 2 become 1

Well that was a fast thread,

Off to play nurse maid to a bunch of over grown school boys, lol
The flan thing worked out well he eats healthy so hope he like it.

Like peeps have said maybe little things count , so I have gone for that I just hope he don't think it mushy. Ive done lunch tomorrow and tidied up in bedroom, plus think I've set the timer so the stick lights come on about ten minutes before should get back.

Marking place.

TortillasAndChocolate · 11/03/2015 22:31

Just marking place for now. Too sleepy to say anything useful!

WaltzingWithHeiferlumps · 11/03/2015 22:34

Yes marking place too and off to bed.

Am I too old to join in...? Peering at my 50th birthday soon. I'm asking this in all seriousness because if you're all young 'uns then I suspect I'll feel horribly old amongst you. It's my first foray into OLD and I'm terrified.

Sienna17 · 11/03/2015 22:49

Ifmaybe of course you're not too old! There are quite a few of us on here in our late 40's. And everyone is very friendly no matter what their age!

How are you getting on with OLD?

Whatsforsupper · 11/03/2015 22:54

Welcome Imaybe

There is no age requirement:)

Joking a-side, I think we range from early 30s -50s.

Me, I'm 42.

Age is but an number.

ChilliAndMint · 11/03/2015 22:54

I'm not far off 50 myself.
Does anyone know if POF is down right now?
OK I've been on a bit of a mission, 5 dates in 12 days but I know there are some decent men on there.

Whatsforsupper · 11/03/2015 22:55

And,Sienna beat me to it.

Hate bold fails :/

Sienna17 · 11/03/2015 22:57

Wow chilli is that 5 dates in the next 12 days? If you've been on 5 in the last 12 days I've missed something!

Whatsforsupper · 11/03/2015 22:57

Chili

You could check with something like 'isitdownrightnow.com

Sienna17 · 11/03/2015 22:59

whatsfor I was just thinking, I've never heard of that dating site, then I realised what you were talking about!

ChilliAndMint · 11/03/2015 23:05

I have checked, I don't know if there are gremlins in my pc.
5 dates yes. Second one was lovely, no chemistry but thought I'd made a friend for life until he dropped the s & m bombshell.
Thing is there is more than one perfect person for each of us. The coupe de foudre stuff seldom results in a healthy relationship.
Mr smoke and mirrors last night; well I'm past beating myself up about it. He lied to me, did I lie to him? No!

ChilliAndMint · 11/03/2015 23:10

Can anyone check please? I've got the same notification on my pc, phone and dc's tablet.

Lurkingforanswers · 11/03/2015 23:11

Chilli POF is down for maintenance tonight. I was going to have a look tonight having not been on for over a week,oh well.

Can I ask what sites people are using? What's the best sites for serious dates? If anyone would care to share.

Whatsforsupper · 11/03/2015 23:12

Chili

They are having server problems.

Blimey, that's a fair few dates:)

Newtodating · 11/03/2015 23:13

Pof down for me too.hope that helps

Whatsforsupper · 11/03/2015 23:14

Lurk

I have used, Match, Soulmates and Ok Stupid..I mean, Ok Cupid.

Soulmate's is bus(ish) if you're in London, Ok is always busy same with Match. I hate Match, don't mind Ok and like Soulmates.

All that said. I have seen the same faces on all three and Ok is free.

ChilliAndMint · 11/03/2015 23:15

Yes 5 dates, and why not, been single since God was a lad.
Alas all of them wankers.
Gotta kiss a few frogs x

chilli why not indeed. I have kissed so many frogs I think I might be developing an allergy!

Whatsforsupper · 11/03/2015 23:19

I honestly don't know that paying means you find a better quality date.

Soulmates is full of its readers. You know, everyone works in Media
has taken a least a year off to save the world, will not lower standards and
date anyone with less then a PHD have lists that would make most adults cry, and wonder why they are still on a dating site ten years later:)

No, I am by no means jaded.

Newtodating · 11/03/2015 23:19

Welcome ifmaybebut of course you're not too old to join the thread!

Update from me - have had a half hour phone call with Mr Blind Date this evening and have a date lined up for next week.Get a feeling there's something different to him - like he's in a different league to all the men I've met OLD so far.Don't want to get my hopes up though - will have to wait and see how we get on in RL.
