Am I being too fussy?

[salizchap]

OK, after the passing of yet another waste of space relationship, I have put a new profile on POF in the ever unrealistic optimistic hope of atracting mr right.

Is it me? 4 men have contacted me recently. Although I specifically say on my profile that I only want to date locally, the first man lives 200 miles away. The second just looks miserable and doesn't smile in any of his 10 pics. The third is unattractive and only writes 2 lines in his profile. The fourth is ok in his pic but his ortography, spelling and punctuation is awful.

None has an interesting or well paid job (full time student, lorry driver, shop worker, unemployed). I would like, for a change, date a professional man who might be able to treat me occasionally, especially as a lone parent I struggle to make ends meet. I am fed up of landing blokes who are worse with finances than me and just make my life more complicated.

Am I expecting too much? Am I being a job snob?

Hi Saliz, looks like you and I are in the same boat, I did post the question somewhere asking if you can die from lack of sex .

Not heard a peep from 50year old, thank goodness, am 'chatting' to a couple of blokes on PoF but my heart really isn't in it. Fbud....hmm there's a thought!

You could always try specimen who is looking for a f*ckmate!

OMG

Wow, specimin sounds perfect,except london is rather a long way to go for a bit of casual sex!!!

Actually, I have just got a phone number from POF!!! Good looking, 23 yr old navy person... fancies an armwrestle...

Should I call him?...

OK, so he's 10 years younger than me, but what the heck, age is just a number, right????

Hmm...I'm in London and about his age so perhaps I should contact specimen you suggest...especially since he's listed his religion as 'Christianity and very serious about it'

saliz, 10 years is nothing, my record is 15

How old are you Saliz? I was talking to a v funny guy called Devilishbaron or thedevilishbaron iirc, 27ish or thereabouts (I should really just log on and check shouldn't I) and he was up for a bit of no strings fun, which I wasn't
He seemed to be really funny tbh, a student just qualifying as a teacher. Get in there

ta da
I accept no responsibility whatsoever for any contact which occurs

Oh gawd, he will now see that a middle aged woman has viewed him, ha (he is quite cute).

Well I must learn how to do links because....OMG OMG I'M IN LURVE..been emailing with a guy who I think is luuuurvley [swoon].

oh and had a lovely message from Gem32 starting hi babe - message reads I love mature women....hahahahahaha.

Jaqui I insist you link right now

I can't do links!!!1

Copy and paste his profile address and just whack around it
No excuses. I won't steal him, I have my man

Boo, pmd you about him. We 'chatted' on msn earlier for aboutt 40 minutes, he reckons we should catch up for a chat later .

had another msn chat with him . Said he was about to message me when I logged on. He lives about 40 mins away from me, "not far" in his words. I had to go and he asked when I would be back on later. Have to admit to having a little swoon (think I deserve it after the last two dates ha).

Yay!! Go Jaqui, go Jaqui!
I'm getting nervous. Man coming in 20 mins to hvae a small movie and hot choc with dd before she goes to bed. Have played it down massively, made sure they both want to meet each other, but my goodness I bet he's shaking like a leaf when he gets here

Boo, wine that's all I can say!! Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Saliz, are you going to the Torquay singles night?

ahem...in case anyone is interested, we have been on msn since 8.20 .

ahem...guess who has a date on Thursday? .

ahem....and we've just signed out of msn!

Ooo yay!!
Anywhere nice? It went so well last night, though he admitted this morning that he had been nervous about meeting her. I'd never have known had he not told me, they both seemed very comfortable with each other :)
Feeling poorly this morning though :( so am having a day spent moping about feeling sorry for myself interspersed with nipping out for more lemsip

Glad it went well Boo. We are just off for a drink tomorrow..feel a little nervous ha.

It will be fine. I was this close to just turning around on the way to our first meet, I was so nervous, but as soon as I got there it was just easy. Hopefully yours will go just as well :)
I expect a blow by blow account naturally. Has the wardrobe dilemma started yet? I am kind of glad that I am over that side of things really. He's seen me in my Primark pjs and if that didn't scare him off, nothing will

no wardrobe dilemma, will be jeans and top, feel nice in them, will save skirts for further dates (hopefully).
