About to join Match.com but have spotted a father from my children's school on it ...

... and is quite cute, and from his profile sounds like a nice guy! I can't bear to put my picture on now as he will know it is me immediately. Is it unreasonable to join Match.com and NOT put a picture on, see if anyone contacts me based on personality alone??? And/or if he does? Thanks for any advice. I was actually hoping just to sneak on and see what is out there without having to join, but am being lured into joining by 'winks' and emails from people, that I cannot access until I fully sign up. Am a bit scared! Someone please reassure me that it is no big deal, I am not even sure I want to meet someone, just curious after having a romantic fling on holiday and realising what I am missing!! Think 'Before Sunrise' for a 40 year old :-)

Why do you mind if he sees your profile? He sounds nice, and you guys already have kids at the same school in common. If he's not interested he won't contact you, and if you aren't interested and he does contact you you can say you're not comfortable dating someone from school.

Sorry massive X post, my wifi is playing up!

Why is it embarrassing for him to know you are using online dating?

After all, HE is. So he can't exactly think it is a shameful thing to be doing.

Or you could bypass the whole dating site thing and engineer a conversation at school and try to get to know him a little that way..

Could be a good place to start, all casual..

OMG I don't know what is happening to me. Earlier this morning I was actually crying remembering my holiday - "will I ever be kissed like that again?" and now a few hours later I have signed up to about 4 different Dating websites! That holiday fling has alot to answer for ...

Thanks for everyone's advice! x
