I used to tell all my single friends that we should have a party and all bring a single male friend (that we aren't already dating!). Someones bound to get lucky!

Is there an MN equivalent? We could do virtual blind dating.

S-Dadof3 - you start...Grin

singledadofthree · 22/05/2006 15:29

ha - no such luck - am supposed to be working behind the scenes.
have been the same tho with the 'cant be arsed bit' - have only recently thought - eek, better get your arse in gear

singledadofthree · 22/05/2006 15:30

oh no - i wouldnt stand a chance :o

TambaTheDragonSlayer · 22/05/2006 15:30

singledadofthree · 22/05/2006 15:31

singledadofthree · 22/05/2006 15:33

you've been quiet of late - hows things?

singledadofthree · 22/05/2006 15:40

phew - just been back and re-read that blind date bit. thought you meant a room full of women and 1 guy - had me running scared - have already been ravaged by a mner :o - altho not complaining of course.

TambaTheDragonSlayer · 22/05/2006 15:43

Who me? Grin

Have been soooo tired! Dh back at work so ive not been getting enough sleep (I have glandular fever which leaves me totally exhausted)

So contestant number one, whats your ideal woman like? Wink

TambaTheDragonSlayer · 22/05/2006 15:43

Just to point out the 'who me?' was not in response to the ravished by an mnner comment!!!!!! Shock Blush

suejonez · 22/05/2006 15:49

Yeah right, Tamba...

Your secret is safe with us Wink

singledadofthree · 22/05/2006 15:49

you talking to me?
and i know - no such luck - hope h is taking good care of you, when he's not working that is.
mmm...ideal woman...will have to ponder that....got it :o

TambaTheDragonSlayer · 22/05/2006 15:51

LOL People will start thinking you have your eye on me at this rate Wink Grin

singledadofthree · 22/05/2006 15:54

nah...was just busy pondering...you can be cilla - can you do the accent?

TambaTheDragonSlayer · 22/05/2006 15:56

erm... nope!

I remember blind date from when i was younger, we used to eat chinese and watch it They always had one really dodgy contestant... thats not you is it? Grin

So your ideal woman....

singledadofthree · 22/05/2006 16:03

oh thanks - re the dodgy comment, will check with a mner or two and get an unbiased...ish opinion.

and cilla was a scouser of course.

thankfully i'm saved by ds for now as i have to take him out.

may darken your door again perhaps :o

TambaTheDragonSlayer · 22/05/2006 16:05

Well I have a very scary guard dog so beware Wink Grin

lou33 · 22/05/2006 16:36

i appear to have a date on friday

TambaTheDragonSlayer · 22/05/2006 16:43

Oooh Nice one Lou :)

Hope he is suitably gorgeous Grin

lou33 · 22/05/2006 16:52

i met him at a wedding reception the weekend before last

he is younger than me (of course he would be), lol @ 31

i gave my number to the bride next time i saw her and asked her to pass it on, i am going to meet him on friday at my local

bride and groom will be there too so it should be fairly relaxed

dinosaure · 22/05/2006 16:54

Oh, good luck Lou, hope it goes well!

lou33 · 22/05/2006 16:58

he seemed nice enough at the reception, tho i did have beer goggles on, i didnt have a chance to give him my number then, hence me giving it to the bride when i saw her next

outofmyleugue · 22/05/2006 17:23
