to want to see who a dating site would put me with?

I am very happily with DP, but I am curious...you know those sites that match you with someone? Who would they match me with?

Not wanting to contact anyone, but WIBU to get a free trial just to see?

I would obviously tell DP, I just wonder what a computer would think would be my ideal date...

It would be a terrible thing to do .. your partner's first thought is most likely (reasonably) to be "so clearly I'm not her ideal date then".

BAFE · 13/05/2010 19:39

they would pair you up with whoever fits in with the boxes you ticked.

I suspect they care more about making money than spending hours thinking out who would make an ideal date for Butterpie

Haha, me and DP often wonder this and laught that we shuld both join and see if we get matche. It is tempting for a laugh but would require total honesty I think!

mrspir8 · 13/05/2010 20:15

As above-for a laugh together only with total honesty!

fireupthequattro · 13/05/2010 20:21

I've done it on the QT

I even considered asking hubby to fill his in and see if we were compatible, but then I thought of the stress of it showing that we don't have a cat in hell's chance may do more damage than good.

I had a look at the men who matched me but tbh they were a scarey reflection of my forthcoming middle age and I cancelled the account.

Do it. I would. It's only a wee bit of fun.

Actually ignore me. I've just had half a pint of 6% polish lager and I'm feeling WILD. take absolutely noooo notice.

Mouseface · 13/05/2010 22:17

LOL cupcakes..... you do make me chuckle.

Do it, Do it with DP, see who you'd get, see who he'd get. Then see if it's anything like you two!

JenniferCanesten · 13/05/2010 22:59

Glad it's not just me then.

at Fireup

Butterpie · 13/05/2010 23:08

I am gonna do it! He is cooking my tea now. Even if I did contact someone, he would probably get off on it tbh anyway.

...I'm a bit lucky aren't i? :D

I made Mouseface LOL!

Magaly · 14/05/2010 08:25

I'm single and I'm too scared! You are terrible Muriel.

pedrothellama · 14/05/2010 08:38

Yes but I would only end up with another llama from the Atacama plains. Not much choice out there for llamas

oh dear God

Meandacat · 14/05/2010 08:52

Hahahaha! I was musing on this just yesterday when the eHarmony ad came on...

JenniferCanesten · 15/05/2010 23:32

Is eHarmony the American-y one, where they flash up all the pictures of couples doing stuff like, y'know, swinging round lamposts and wearing linen trousers, and then halfway through is a picture of a couple with the exact same face so it looks like the site has managed to match longlost siblings?

Thankfully they seem to both be past childbearing age, but if they have kids from previous relationships then woo, they'll be cousins.

TopsyKretts · 15/05/2010 23:37

Lolol Jennifer (brill name too)

AWellHungParliament · 15/05/2010 23:45

Ha Ha! Was just scrolling through active convos and the username JenniferCanesten caught my eye - I had to come in just to say Nice One! it made me rofl!

Off to read the thread no OP. Soz

AWellHungParliament · 15/05/2010 23:46

Oh hee hee, you are asking for trouble...curiosity killed the cat.

nighbynight · 16/05/2010 00:05

If married, I would let sleeping dogs lie.
I am single, and dating websites are a nightmare, I hate them now.

JenniferCanesten · 17/05/2010 21:43

(thanks Topsy and WellHungParliament! I was very very pleased with myself when I thought of it. Pathetic I know. Being a sober non-smoker does not agree with me.)

nighbynight any dating website horror stories to share? Nothing actually scary I hope...just humorous?

nighbynight · 18/05/2010 16:47

No, nothing exciting, just endless Mr Wrongs!
