Where have all the fit, interesting and available men gone (part 30)

[lilacisinlove]

Yay! I did it again!

why, when i use the search facility to find my own messages (that i know have posted), does the search facility not work???????????

name change?

finally caught up and promptly forgot what i wanted to write

mily - yay!!! am sooo pleased for you
monty - how did you meet celtic?
flf - have sent you a friends request on fb anyone else my initial is d and there is a blue bike too
nice to see everyone again

x is being a pain again but on the positive side - took dd to visit her new school today and it went rather well - though taxi fare was bit steep (there's no buses from where i am now to where said school is - boo hiss!). the school seemed a bit chaotic to me but dd liked it and met a girl from the same village as us so that's good

dp at work til 12 again so that's why i'm chatting to you

no - that's the best part of it, have used the same name since before christmas

i've just looked at the customise part of the site and discovered that my posts were only visible for 2 weeks - the posts i was looking for were more recent than that so i don't understand why they haven't shown. strange

aurora, I've confirmed and I agree about the unpacking. I still have boxes in the spare room that I haven't unpacked, although I don't have use of the loft here, so I can't just stuff them away!

Hello ninah, how are you? at Brief Encountler!

flf i have access to a loft but the hatch is a bit dodgy - it's stuck i managed to open it yesterday then dp wedged it shut men!

now i understand the brief encounter part of your post flf!

i lovebrief encounter! 'I'm feeling so terribly tired and wretched!' I'll need to stick something in my eye...:)

up super early for DS1s 13th birthday..we only cooked half the cake last night then table sale at school, then lunch then loads of other stuff!

Morning all

Big for mily, beaut, monty and elasta - so pleased that all is going well for you.

snape, just throw yourself at TM please, my patience is wearing thin.

flame, sounds like your weekend might turn out to be a fun one, carrot or not.

aurora, happy birthday to DS and hope you all have a lovely day. I moved a year ago next week and there is still stuff I planned to sort out that I haven't even looked at yet! I left ex with a fully furnished five bed house when I moved here, and then he moaned that I had taken the photo albums (felt like hiring a van and going back to take half the house contents too). I always planned to sort through them and give him back the ones that he is in and there's not many of those since he didn't do much with the kids anyway, but I still haven't done it. He does have his mum's photo albums, so he already has loads of baby photos anyway. They albums stop in about 2005 when I got a digital camera for the first time!

Think the sun is out here, maybe I will get up and open the curtains and find out.

oops, meant to say snape happy birthday to DS and the moving stuff to aurora!!! It's still so early...

your patience is wearing thin! I'll step it up a bit next week, just for you lilac!

Can I join in please? Mum to DD aged 11, dating on and off since got divorced 4 years ago. Currently on PoF not looking for anything serious, meeting plenty of fit OR interesting men but hardly ever both! Refuse to pay for online dating (have done, doesn't seem to be worth it) - does anyone here actually spend money on it?

Had a 4th date arranged last night with someone last night but blew him out at the last moment because I just couldn't be bothered. Feel a bit mean :( Told him I didn't want anything heavy and he said it was fine, he was happy to meet me once a month or so. I'm attracted to him, but not sure if I'm attracted enough....Can see everyone's really busy this weekend, anyone have dates lined up?

Welcome anais, I have an 11yo DD too and her big sis is 13. I joined Lovestruck in September, it was £60 for 3 months (but I joined through Quidco and got 50% back!) and I met the love of my life (known on here as TLOML) through the site in November. I was on OKCupid for a while but never met anyone from there, it was a waste of time.

Until I met TLOML, I had never made it as far as date no 4 with anyone I'd met online. Sometimes that wasn't because I didn't want another date, but it didn't always work out the way I would have liked! It wasn't until date 3 that I realised how smitten I was by TLOML, then the next night it snowed and his flight was cancelled and he came round to mine and we've been a couple ever since! A month after we met we were on a plane to Dubai for new year and those four days together gave us time to get to know each other without everyday life (and children) impinging and now we are planning to spend the rest of our lives together. We have agreed never, ever, ever to get married though!

So there is hope, as mily, beaut, lou and others would agree.

I agree that if you can't be bothered, it's not worth it. As we often say on this board..."Next!"

Morning all

No change here from me, still single and not loving it!
I joined OkCupid, got a few messages and winks, a few from men half way round the world and some from those closer. I got one message from a guy who lives near me but he sounded like a real arrogant tosser! Im not feeling brave enough to message anyone on there.

Fairy the TG sounds like a blast, I would go to one if there was one near by, the closest thing we have is a grubby, underground gay bar and a few regular night clubs that aren't great tbh. Have fun!

morning all

lilac i don't have a ds, dd has a nintendo ds does that count?
you're forgiven hahaha

hi to titsalina and anais i paid to join zoosk, left the site about 6months before i met dp and they still charged me £59 - i can't afford that! becasue i paid by debit card, the bank said they can't stop them tkaing it again wtf? so i will have to stop my card and do it that way. waste of time for me, i'm afraid.

morning to everyone else too

hello all :) and welcome to anais, as lilac said there are lots of success stories on here, however I am so far not one of them!

Snape, happy bday to DS1. My DS1 will be 13 in August. Am slightly scared about being mother of a teenager, although he has behaved like one for the past 3 years anyway so I will probably notice little change

I was out with work people last night, and met a nice man (friend of friend). He is FAR FAR too young for me (22! ) but rather lovely. He thought I was 30, though admittedly he was somewhat inebriated. As was I, hence now suffering the hangover from hell.....

Hi Anais and Tits

I once paid for Dating Direct for 3 months, wanted my monies worth so dated a few, all perfectly OK but lacking that certain something. I now just hang around on POF as it's free so nothing to lose if you don't use it often. My profile is currently hidden and I have been on a few dates with someone on it but again it's not looking to be going anywhere although he is keen.

I want to meet someone who takes my breath away. I don't like internet dating much it feels clinical, would prefer to meet someone the old fashioned way. It's worked for a few lucky posters on here though.

hatesponge! yaaas!

welcome anais. :)

birthday text for DS1 from PM, who is in sodding Brighton, so no idea that the 'apology' CD is waiting for him & he's his usual breezy nonchalant self, despite my snippy flounce from OKC, so the 'apology' CD wasn't even needed. I look like a twat.

friend who was coming for dinner with her DD (found through fb after 20+ years!) has a virus and won't be coming. another sad, lonely saturday evening in the bosom of my delightful family, wielding a bottle of gin...

OMG I just uploaded a new picture to OkCupid and it has gone nuts, I have had 6 messages, 12 winks and 3 favourites! Its not even anything special just my new facebook profile picture. No one really taking my fancy yet though.

Exciting night in for me (again) I am debating on whether to watch the first series of Glee, Remember me with Robert Pattinson (yum) or Romeo and Juliet with Leo Dicaprio (also yum)

TBS - it's a nice photo (if it's the one that's on your MN profile) ...

hows everyone wkd. i am in hiding to try stay on the wagon tonight.

gonna catch up on whats been happening and read back.

i was out last night. needing some hair of the dog and then i need to start packing. i move next wkd.

I may have told the handsome barman at my local (might need to think of a nickname) that he was having a house warming(they are moving next wkd too into a lads pad) so that he could invite me

he's like a like a little puppy. cant decide if i would actually be interested. he's pretty to look at. but i get the feeling i scare the living daylights out of him as he's very very quiet by nature. and i have 2 noise levels. Foghorn loud... and.. em sleeping

loving work atm.

got invited by a friend to her dads place in canries ., as she needs someone who has driving license. all expenses paid if I do driving to and from airport, and she needs to go do some official paperwork on of the days and needs driven there. so need to ask work if i can have the holidays in advance, or if they will let me take it unpaid as i haven't accrued enough days.

off to catch up

TBS, I'd go for Glee but only because RPattz and Leo do nothing for me! :)

Still feeling slightly fragile after last night. Have tried stalking 22 year old on FB, found him but cant see any of his photos (or his wall to see if he has a GF!) Only his profile pic where he looks about 15.

This is v sad behaviour of me as I am old enough - just - to be his mum He is nice though. And did a sports science degree so is quite athletic He's obv not relationship material, but (in the unlikely event he did feel any attraction to me whatsover) it could be a bit of fun maybe.

Or possibly I should just stop obsessing and look for someone my own age.....

take your pick nmn!

am slightly p'd off - for the 3rd year in a row, my cousin has (although been invited) has yet again declined to visit my dd on her birthday and yet again made excuses. dd hasn't seen her since she (dd) was 3) - it p's me off because they're all working yet expect me to be able to drop everything and afford the almost 50quid train fare to get up there! and breathe ....
