to curl up under the desk...

[Ginocchio]

...with embarrassment?

I've been trying out a bit of online dating. It seems to have worked for some, and with a busy full time job and kids at home (some of the time), it's tricky to meet new people.

It's been quite slow so far - I've done my best with both pics and description, tried to be charming/not a freak in messages, and I'm being honest with myself about my chances (ie not messaging perky 19 year old students...), but no replies.

Finally, today, I've received a reply. Someone of a similar age, (no kids so fingers crossed not going to see this), lives fairly local, seems nice.

Personally, I'd far rather meet someone in person than spend ages online (MN excepted...). So I asked her if she'd like to meet for a drink.

But no. I realised after sending that my auto-fucking-correct changed the word, so I actually said:

"Maybe you'd like to join me for a deposit?"

I've just offered my services as a sperm donor, haven't I?

Futterby as long as you wiped it up...

wow... way to let you down gently!

Miserable cah !!!

You had a lucky escape...yaddah, yaddah ...etc, etc... plenty more fish in the sea....blah, blah ,blah....

ahem, sorry yeah it sucks this brave new world bet she doesn't, the stuck up old prude .

Ahh come on , come out , you cant stay in that quilt fort forever besides I might need it if I see my blind lady and her friends again

Ha! Lucky escape, my man! The woman has no sense of humour. Who wants a humourless, miserable sod like that?

Get up and at 'em again. (It's too ruddy hot for sweltering in the duvet fort).

Definitely her loss.
I bet you could get a date using this thread.

Yeah definitely they say best aphrodisiac is to make a woman laugh and you have made loads of us laugh out loud on this thread.

Ooh, MN Blind dates!

We could go and see the penguins...

Where in the country & how old are you?

South Midlands, and 34

Great autocorrects

Good luck OP (you are too young and too far away and may be a hairy handed trucker anyway)

change How very dare you!

fingers crossed, Ginocchio

Aww I fear South Midlands is a bit far away, I know a lovely lass, early 30s, one adorable DD, in the East of England who is looking for a guy to make her smile.

Mogz I'm sure the combined powers of MN can help her too. Maybe there should be a thread for it...

Totally

There's another thread from a single guy who seems to be looking for someone for his fortieth. Maybe MN is the new hunting ground for men of a certain age..............? Oi, lads! Bring your snake-handlers kit - this is a nest of vipers!

It's because we're vair naice men and we haven't realised what we're letting ourselves in for

Nope, you are too comfortable with MN-speak. You haven't just wandered on here..... and the name......... Jus' sayin' ladies......

change no, I've been here for a few years (lurking mainly, but posting occasionally). NC not long ago.

Someone I know replied to a potential date saying 'so pleased to be in contact with someone with a gash'

Unfortunately her GSOH didn't appreciate his autocorrect.

We kindly reassured him that of course he didn't sound like a bisexual misogynist

I've emailed one of our female bosses saying 'I understand you are very busty....'

And signed off an email to one of the male bosses with about 6 kisses.

I did send an email once that said

"Can you please ensure that you get this right in the future.

Retards

Ginocchio"

There is a dating thread in relationships.
