hello all, and GD/FS welcome to the thread :)
have heard from DS2 on hols who seems to be having fun, so all ok there at present. DS1 also seems to be fine if a little :( as he is not used to being without his brother for more than a couple of days.
anyhoo.....elasta what's the lastest re your date? when are you meeting again? sounds like he could have potential!
mily - any more replies yet? I have to agree that when i was still doing the online stuff most of the guys I emailed directly either didnt reply, or were a bit halfhearted. any dates I got were ones who made the first move, which is a bit sad really. I also found all ones I did actually go on dates with were without exception less attractive in real life, either in looks or personality. One I suspect must have photoshopped his photos.....
Also think being in proximity to London does bring out the proper weirdos, as kdk's experience will bear out. I have also had a few crackers. Low points were the ones who cant spell (yet describe themselves as educated...clearly not well enough to master a spellcheck!), the overly religious ones, or the downright creepy. Or the very short. That tends to account for most of the men out there. I do think there are some gems out there, but very few. Always felt a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack 
Whats this about hunting in packs? Count me in for that!
Wedding man is at mine tomorrow. Am going home tonight to do a cleaning blitz and if I can persuade him to stay for dinner, am wheeling out the lasagne ;) still not sure, but he does text me far more than I would expect given how little we know each other. And I know looks wise he could do ever so much better than me. We'll see. Am not pinning all my hopes on it, but it is keeping me entertained :)
