You OK tonight NI? Did you like the Monty Phyton sketch. Other fav of mine is Derek and Clive live, hilarious albeit old.

I like contempory stuff too, taste in music is very up to date. Hey should write this on my POF profile .

aseriouslyblondemoment · 10/02/2009 21:58

aseriouslyblondemoment · 10/02/2009 22:02

Don't know how NI is getting on on POF. I was with Elmo and about to delete my profile this week but then got a message of someone I wanted to reply too. So haven't deleted it yet.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 10/02/2009 22:07

way hey Eve!
have you sent one back?

OP posts:
N1 · 10/02/2009 22:07

lol. Me getting hints is not one of my strong points.

If I were to say that my shoe is a size 9, would I be saying to much? I would offer to measure my nose, but I can't see that answering anything, nor do I know how to measure my nose.

I loved the monty video. I am still smiling at how each tells how much worse off they were. That was funny. I have not seen it before.

N1 · 10/02/2009 22:16

I haven't been on POF since it was last mentioned in this thread. First date - now that would be nice. I haven't been on a date in ages. Perhaps I should put a bit of effort in.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 10/02/2009 22:16

maybe

I am no good with those emotion things....is a blushing face smiling while blushing or blushing while smiling?

and the next logical question is about giving numbers out.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 10/02/2009 22:24

LOL!

OP posts:
N1 · 10/02/2009 22:24

I am sure we had this exchanging of numbers conversation earlier on in the thread....didn't we?

N1 · 10/02/2009 22:27

I understand the LOL and lol diffrences (and can use them when I have to) lol.

but it's not answering my question....

sincitylover · 10/02/2009 22:28

is there a flirtation going on here perchance???

Well I seem to be attracting the weirdos atm. Just had a message from someone on the site who appeared to have been tracking whether I was on or off line. Why hadn't I replied to his private chat message when I was online?

Not my type at all.

I have been wondering since the convo with my RL friend whether I have self esteem issues. We were both wondering in fact. But surely if I am being quite picky then I can't have, can I?

I am seriously thinking of deleting my profile for a while.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 10/02/2009 22:35

evening SCL
ugh not good.can you just block.you haven't met him or chatted so don't feel you can't.
personally, tho i don't know you in RL i would say not, tho exbf still lurks.
but i would imagine that if another man comes along who ticks all your boxes then those feelings would eventually subside
from what you have posted on here you sound pretty sorted to me
but then we all dither don't we regardless of our age
look at me!

OP posts:
ninah · 10/02/2009 22:38

yes some flirting!
asbm the fact I've been with him may say less about his niceness than my sheer lack of discrimination, from time to time I find him Sooo irritating esp when we are apart in the week - when we meet at weekends I find I can overlook a lot of the stuff that bores and irritates in the cold sober context of normal life, prob all the fault of that bonding hormone or whatever.

N1 · 10/02/2009 22:39

I left my POF profile on because I couldn't be bothered to delete it. I got a few messages (ages ago) in reply to messages I sent out. After a few messages back and forth.

Self esteem is easy to sort out....well I think it is. Have a few friends round and you cook for them and play host. If you do a Stirling job, you get many complements and you feel good about yourself. The better you feel, the more confident you feel.

Obviously if you can't play a good host, then you need to find another way of picking up your mood and general attitude.

I can't see any benefit of asking why someone didn't reply to a message straight away, regardless of if you were on or off line. The first alarm bell of desperation sounds there.

As for the flirting - all in the name of good fun.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 10/02/2009 22:41

oh ninah!
you were meant to be a beacon of hope to us singletons!

OP posts:
sincitylover · 10/02/2009 22:42

It sounds really arrogant to say this but some of the people recently I just wouldn't consider if I met them in RL. And the fact that they get pissy if I don't reply really winds me up.

Anyway RL friend and I are going out for drinks soon to discuss further. My DS2 and her DS1 are great friends and we also hit it off. OK I'm not all that but on the other hand I am not bad either. LOL

Exbf is a completely different matter. He keeps telling me he's not all that but he has certainly got under my skin. But I have always felt worthy of him IYSWIM.

I don't tend to go for adonis type hunks but more for nice looking geezer types. Maybe that's the problem!!

BTW I work with lawyers and barristers and though they are lovely they don't tend to appeal. Hope that's not offensive to anyone.

ninah · 10/02/2009 22:45

no I am just another singleton temporarily staving off tedium with a dull bald bloke from the internet

aseriouslyblondemoment · 10/02/2009 22:46

no it's not arrogant
look at me i had Willy Wonka hitting on me earlier
wouldn't have minded if it were the Johnny Depp one but knowing my luck def Gene Wilder
