Oh god Smeaton, how could she forget something like that, or had she not realised you have a young child?! Fair enough to feel like that, but why would you then go on a date with someone who has a young resident child!
Falcon to answer your question from the end of the last thread, I think I am feeling a bit 'not good enough' for Mr DM yeah. Not because of anything he has said in any way, just in my own head. I'm usually pretty self confident so it feels a bit odd.
Bloody I think it's really important that you're upfront about your actual age. Five years is a big difference and I would be massively pissed off if I turned up to a date with someone who had said they were, say, 39 but they were actually 44. I have the right to decide on which criteria I choose to date someone and don't want to be tricked into investing my time and energy into a person who is being dishonest about the most basic of those criteria. It's a real dealbreaker for me, although obviously I appreciate that everyone is different.
