Anyone doing or done the internet dating thing?

[MrsSnape]

Getting sick of spending all my time alone. I never go out anywhere to meet anyone though so at the moment it seems this is the only way to go.

Have tried it a few times before but never had much luck, I've never put much effort in though and have always done half arsed profiles and usually no pic

oh yeah baby.. "i think i better leave right now, before i bone any deeper.."

ha i am laughing like muttley here

ooh he is coming round again tonight

Yay!

More boning, i should imagine..

you will be walking funny and need a rubber ring to sit on tomrrow

fuck, i know.

And i have to be up at 6.30 to go and help at a gymnastics competition 30 miles away

maybe i should cancel him?

i doubt you will sleep tbh

agbu do you have msn by any chance?

how funny AGBU don't cancel him unless you are going to be too tired to get up for the school run the next day, lol

yesterdays date has asked to see me again, i told him we would talk about it today as it was 3am when he was messaging me

AGBU - you've made me smile, glad you are having lots of fun!

Lou, no i dont have msn, bugger!

hmm he came round last night at 1am, slept with me in my bed cos he wanted to "cuddle" me (??) and didnt attempt to bone me! i made him leave at 5am lol..as i wanted some sleep on my own and knew i had to be up at 6!

Havent heard from him since!although to be fair he did say he would spend all of today asleep.

am seeing yesterdays date tomorrow morning btw

hope he gets in touch soon agbu

hmm
im not sure he will

why?

i have extremely large amounts of tidying to do before the morning , but i feel too lethargic to do it

my get up and go got up and went

(plus i still have the remnants of a headache from this afternoon)

ooh ag - you deffo go girl!

Well he started off last week really keen

Now when i text him, he takes literally hours/whole day to reply, or sometimes he doesnt reply at all.
I dont think he is as keen as he was. For all i know he could just be after the sex.

Hmm i think i will leave it and see if he contacts me.
He did tell me on Sat that he is in over 25ks worth of debt(at least he was honest), and sleeps in a tiny room with a single bed in a shared house. i had to pay for lunch for the both of us as he had no money, not that the woman shouldnt pay!

Should the warning bells be ringing?

not nec I don't think, but pull back and cool off a bit.

for example, is he working? is he paying the debts off himself/how did they arise - if it was student loans etc it's one thing, to be pissing it up the wall's another thing.

but perhaps it might be wise to not do the sex thing for a while.

he's being honest yes and upfront which is good. is there much of an age difference?

He may genuinely be busy?

Yes he works hard, is paying off his debts at 800 a month! i do appreciate his honesty though - my ex didnt tell me about his debts til we had been together a year!

i think he is busy at work, but weird how he has gone from so keen to a tiny bit cooler.
Having said that, he did just text a minute ago asking when we are going to meet next.

i hate all the up-down-ness of it all!

btw he is 27, i am 29. (our birthdays are in the same week)

i'd just let him get in touch for now and see what happens

wrt you paying for lunch, that's ok as long as you dont feel you are being taken advantage of, and it isnt a regular thing, it should be fifty fifty imo

i used a dating site on fb and am now seeing someone from it. we got together when i was 37 weeks pregnant and now my newborn is over a week and he is still with me,

well least he's doing that - agree with lou, cool it a bit, and see what happens - say to him well I can do fri or something and see what happens?

well the guy i saw on sat turned up this morning and was lovely, but it was disrupted by the school ringing and telling me ds2 had been sick so could i go get him!

so he met ds2 a tad earlier than i would have planned but it was ok, they talked about wrestling , ds2 threw up a couple more times, fell asleep and then i said goodbye to my date lol

lol lou! sounds like good test of a date. in doubtful cases will feed dd with chocolate and shake vigourously!
Now - help, advice please!
Against my better judgement I signed up for a month on one of these. Emailed someone for a month or so, met him, liked him. He professes to be very keen. Always wants to see me etc. What's the etiquette? I've signed off and not meeting any more men, just found it all a bit much. But I lurk. He's on there, fair enough, no problem with that. Only we went out on Sat and I asked him if he was meeting other women, he said no, and he 'hardly ever' looks at site. 24 hours ago isn't 'hardly ever' in my mind! He seems a genuine person, but my ex was a philanderer so I'm now totally suspicious. Things are good on a chatting/friendly basis but I'm getting a bit drawn into the whole dating thing, kissed . Supposed to meet again next Sat ... planning to lurk this week and if he's on every day, cancel. Don't mind shopping around, but DO mind a liar! Sensible, or paranoid?

oh, he's gone now!
