where the hell do u find a good man

[starscream]

where have they all gone

I would imagine that's how a lot of men feel/think LD.

i dont know about that, i've dated guys without kids and it hasnt bothered them

i always mention them in general convo before we even meet, just matter of fact

well my exdp was single with no kids and mine were just 11 14 and 15 when we moved in together and he stayed 8 years..h e decide that he wanted some eventually tho unfortunately rather too late..i think it was me losing one and dgs being exactly the same age that got to him in the end but who knows

he was 11 years yoiunger than me and 31 when we moved in together so he got to forty and changed his mind

it's not just men who think that was LD - I don't think i'd have dated a man with children proir to DS.

now thou i've dated/talked men with and without children, and actually prefer with children - at least they know what it is like to have a child and the responsibility/commitment involved - I've found men without children to be less understanding when it comes to why I can't be out pubbing and clubbing everynight.

LD - good luck, hope it goes well, will you see her again then?

nutty - don't let it bother you, 'tis a touch rude, but well least they didn't just delete the email. besides which I often open it, read it and reply about 2/3 days later on - same with texts as well!

wonder how moh is getting on.

tortoise if you dont want him to see you, you can take your pic off... and just send your pic to people you are intrested in ....

Might do that chocspider. But i don't want to limit the amount of blokes that might look!
I had a good laugh at his anyway! Body tyoe- Athletic!! As if!!

Hoping to see her again. Like I said before - I was completely damn hopeless first time round and now those memories are all coming flooding back!

I'm meant to be meeting someone else next week, but feel a bit guilty even though I don't know if I should...I've got a large number of female friends I go out with socially without feeling like this, so I can't say why either.

I think you should meet up with the other women any LD, don't feel guilty.

My date went Ok/well(?) I think. We seem quite similar and had a laugh, was very relaxed.. almost too relaxed. I think we will see each other again and I have another date lined up in a couple of weeks with someone else.

Good luck, MOH!

I am with lou on the children issue. I have always mentioned the fact I have children right away.

My DP was married for 10 years, but has no children. within minutes of first meeting, I told him I had recently separated & had two boys. He told me he had also recently separated, but had no children, and then asked if I fancied going out for a drink sometime. He was not put off by the fact I had children at all.
We have been together 8 months now, and he is wonderful!

Good luck to you all.

He text me a joke last night and then started a text conversation. Asked me what I was doing saturday night but I'm going out so we are going out again next Wednesday. I think we are going to eat at the same pub we mte in for a drink.

How's everyone else getting on?

The girl I've been talking to for a few weeks now (not yet her yet) didn't know about my son, but did know about my divorce (she hadn't looked at my profile properly!) was fine about it.

She asked if I was over my ex. Which I am, but as she is the immovable object that is doing her best to stop my son having a father, she is `in my thoughts' in some ways (not nice ones, obviously

Meant to be seeing her next week (the evening I am going back to court again for my son, incidentally).

As for the girl I met this week - talked via MSN and text, but not said much because I have been so busy.

Oh no LD, you have to talk to her or she might be worrying that you aren't interested in her.. can you just arrange another date for a couple of weeks time?

I have one, I have one...but I am not sharing . Met him on a dating site, he is gorgeous and so far has been really lovely to me. After a rubbish marriage and an idiot ex, I am hoping that this is "the one", fingers crossed.

Good men come along when you least expect it, hang in there!

i have a date tonight at 8.30

i suppose i should be thinking about getting ready shouldnt i?

Ohh, another date, lou! Good luck!

yes, another one potentially bites the dust lol

not from pof this time though

Ohh, so where did you meet this one?

ha, that is a long and convoluted story!

Well good luck with it! Hope all goes well, and report back!

I have my man coming round later. Can you believe I have been with him 8 months now!

wow 8 months!

how lovely

i will let you know, dont worry

he just sent me a text to say he is on his way, but i have an hour to spare so im doing ok for time

How exciting! You are probably busy getting ready now, so have a lovely time, and report back straight after!

Have a good time Lou. Hope it is a good date.

No news here, and I am so not surprised lol.

Have haxd no mesages at all on POF and lots on Smooch, but they are all the same blokes that messaged me last time I was on there, and are all blokes that i'd not touch with a bargepole.

Oh I did get a message on ParentsAlready but I can't read it as i'm not a full member and can't afford to be at the mo, typical huh ?
