Hey guys and gals...I really need your help, even though I don't know you ha.. but seriously....
In a nutshell I want to get chatting with some women online. However it is not as easy as I thought and I've struggled with this for too long now. I've never chatted with anyone or looked for dates online before, well not successfully anyway. However I am only now actually really putting some real effort in to it :) I'm not against it obviously I just cant seem to find the right site or whatever. It seems every site that I look at ends up wanting money or is full of fake people. In fact Mumsnet seems to be the most ideal site I found, except it is aimed at women. Is there a male version, or is this the best place to chat to girls, about relationships and make friends? If you think this post is better in another section where I will get a better responses then please let me know.
Please don't send me to a dating site....I hate them, at least the ones I looked at where you have to fill in endless paragraphs about yourself which is difficult and always ends up reading like it is about someone else. I just want to talk to women and hope something happens naturally. But I am open to all suggestions.
I am 35, have a 9 year old daughter. She doesn't live with me but we have a perfect relationship and she stays here 2 or 3 days a week. I live on my own in my own house, I am in Northamptonshire, I have a good job I love and I also work at home (the main reason I have struggled meeting someone I think..at least it was never a problem before). I am an outgoing lad who is sociable, kind, reliable, independent and apparently quite funny.. I am a bit of a joker and do enjoy not being serious all of the time (but this is a serious post /serious face). I would honestly consider myself a good catch and wonder how the hell I have been single for so long. (I hope that doesn't sound arrogant). To be honest I have been single for over 6 years now, which is OK, I am cool, it really has been a good time and I do love it...but it would be even better with a gf now..
I have a really good circle of friends and a lot of them have gf's who always try to set me up but for some reason I never accept. There is a ton of stuff I want to casually chat about from travelling, music, points of view, sex, relationships, experiences and whatever you want to talk about.
Anyway at this moment I just want to chat with girls and see if I click with anyone, or even just make some friends..its all good...I'm easy going and will take my time :) I am looking for some good conversations where it is a 2 way street, I am a good listener also, and I have a fair bit of life experience...for my age to reflect on..... so please get in touch, you have nothing to lose...
Wow I just realized this post is huge.....sorry
