[ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas]

Of couse i may still chicken out! But it really would be nice to at least start chatting to a man(or two!!)!

Tortoise - how are you getting on in the happy house of match??

Well, profile has been veiwed 18 times! lol! But no winks etc yet!! Am to chicken to wink at anyone myself at the moment too.

Must look at POF as well. Just for a laugh!

I have looked at that site but i would need to find a friend to write about me 1st which wouldn't be easy.

I'm chatting to a really nice guy about pof on msn at the moment trying to find him a woman..it's really interesting hearing the male viewpoint

I must say a lot of the women on pof look like dogs...noit me of course or any mners just most of the rest lol

lol! I hope i don't look like a dog!
Will look into POF tomorrow night.

well I doubt it...it isd interesting seeing it through a mans eyes we have been putting the world of pof women to rights all night

Right, now what sort of thing should i put on POF profile?
I am looking to join tonight! lol!

Also where it says 'looking for' What is the best one to choose? Dating or just talk/email to start with?

Oh well! I have done it now!
I think its ok. Just wait and see if anyone gets in touch i guess! lol!

OK so have only read OP and title but just wanted to let you know that I met my dh online 5 years ago - we are now happily married and have 2 gorgeous boys. So it does work!!!! It was on datingdirect but I also went on udate. Good luck!!!!

alicet- thats great.

No one has contacted me so far!

How is it going tortoise?

I have updated my profile on dating direct a and added a profile, well actually had registered last June but then met someone in RL which lasted about four months but I am very sceptical - that't just me though.

My heart isn't really in it still hankering after guy from last year but how long can you hanker for something that may never happen.

Just thought I would see whether I generate any interest. My confidence is average not too high and not too low. But the thought of meeting a stranger is daunting. Suppose I might give it a try but feel like I would be very choosy.

Any luck Tortoise ??

I have just signed up with POF again and this time I have been a bit more honest about what I want and don't want, so hopefully it might deter some fo the knobs that I normally get messages from.

Tortoise you have inspired me to join too. Think I will try dating direct. Will have to wait a week though so I can get a photo taken (just ordered a new camera).

I'm 28 and been single 8 months. More than ready to meet a bloke and have some fun.

Nothing from POF so far!
One ink on match today from a 40 yr old, no photo!

Feeling a bit not to of had more resposes! But i didn't really expect much! I expect 4 kids is a bit off putting for most men!

Oh well, i will keep looking at others on there.

Good luck nutty.

wink*

Good luck MiaWallace too.
