Just that really. I so hate my own company.

Over 2 years and not so much as a sniff of a date, or even a quick leg over LOL.

2 years? That's nothing. Try 4 and 1/2 then you can whinge!

nutcracker · 24/02/2008 21:07

Oh god don't say that PC, I won't cope LOL.

I stupidly thought i'd be snapped up quite quickly once I became single rofl.

Blimey, how do i fit my head through the front door LOL/.

have you tried internet dating?
It honestly isn't just for saddos anymore
everyone is at it

WallOfSilence · 24/02/2008 21:09

Do you go out though Nutty?

You need to get out there & let the world know you're single!!

nutcracker · 24/02/2008 21:09

Yep I have, and no luck there either. I only attract twats or old men, and seeing as xp was an old twat, I don't want another LOL.

nutcracker · 24/02/2008 21:11

Nope I don't go out, which is probably part of the reason I am nunlike now.

OP posts:
posieflump · 24/02/2008 21:12

oh yes you need

a) a babysitter

b) a friend to go out with

c) to get dolled up and go to Yates!!

nutcracker · 24/02/2008 21:13

Yates ??

Was just talking to a friend about it on msn, and she said 'well u need to get dolled up and go out, and then you'd have blokes all round you'

Really ?????? That just does not happen in my world.

WallOfSilence · 24/02/2008 21:14

Do your mates go out much?

Get thyself a babysitter! Or pack the kids off to stay with Xp & go & flaunt yourself around town!!

posieflump · 24/02/2008 21:15

Yates's Wine Bars
That's where we all used to pull men in my yoof!

nutcracker · 24/02/2008 21:16

The problem is, although I don't not have any friends, they are not people that I really go out with. One is older than me and married, plus she is a student so very busy, and then thats it really.

OP posts:
nutcracker · 24/02/2008 21:17

Oh yes Yates, I have been there once when I was erm about 19, no 18 LOL.

I have no friends or babysitters. No interest online (am on some sites) and well, it's been like that for FIVE YEARS!!!

I think I definitely smell!

nutcracker · 24/02/2008 21:23

5 years

See people keep saying to me 'well you never know whats around the corner', and yeah 2 years ago I thought that, and was full of hope and excitement. Now when they say it i think, what a pile of shite. Whats round the corner is more of the same.

OP posts:
WallOfSilence · 24/02/2008 21:24

Nutty & Lewis, are you two near each other?

nutcracker · 24/02/2008 21:44

Nope, unfortunatly not.

I don't actually know any other single people at all.

Hiya Nutcracker and everyone else

I'm nearly 2 years single now, not a hint of interest and I'm fed up being on my own now too.

Can't get my head round internet dating, it just doesn't appeal. I've been out in town, not very often cos my friends are all married and don't want to go out, but the blokes out there are generally nobheads.

I haven't got any single friends either

And I can't stand it when people say "you don't know what round the corner" yes I do and there's nothing bloody there!!!!!!

nutcracker · 24/02/2008 22:23

Hi Cat, i think we must be twins

My mate just said 'i bet blokes are looking at you and you don't even notice'

But they aren't though, thats the problem.

might as well add ditto to the op - and dont get out either, i just work to fill in my time.

nutcracker · 24/02/2008 22:30

I cannot believe that a handy bloke like you is still single. My mum is obsessed with me meeting a handy bloke

OP posts:
Catnkids · 24/02/2008 22:32

I think the same! And who in their right mind would look at me anyway!

I'm so fed up of being alone and trying to persuade my friends to come out with me - they always think we're out on to find me a fella but I just want to go out and have fun! Live this supposedly fantastic single life.

It makes it harder cos my (not yet)exH has been with his girlfriend for a year now, maybe longer, and they're very happy together and me being completely alone, not even any second glances, makes my confidence rock bottom. And today he moved to about 1 min walk from my house so we are bound to bump into them now.

I go through phases of wanting to look nice and look confident but then I go through phases of thinking what's the point shaving my legs, putting on makeup etc. no-one's looking anyway! I think I'm in the latter phase at the moment!

Wish I could find some single mates to have fun with then I wouldn't feel the need for male company so much.

Hmmmm......

nutcracker · 24/02/2008 22:35

Ohhh Cat, my ex has recently moved within a minute of me too, it is hard, although tbh he isn't with anyone else that I know of.

I really did think that when i split with xp, my life would be so different, and yeah in alot fo ways it is, but I thought i'd be out alot more, have more friends , and to be perfectly honest, if I had realised i'd be on my own for as long as I have, I probably wouldn't have gone through with the split.

Anyway, I better go to bed now my wine bottle is empty LOL.
