its just a thought which has been pondered upon by a few of us on here
as Lou 33 said if she knew the answer then she wouldn't be on MN

so fairly sure no self esteem issues

I just keep thinking (ever the optimist) that something fantastic must be just around the corner.

Then I'll look back on all this and laugh.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 10/02/2009 22:54

i find it's the only way
no point dwelling on things that you know will get you down as its a pointless waste of your mental energy
have you blocked then?
ive also just had a 'stop playing games' message from man ive also never spoken to
so am a bit bemused

There is always something good round the corner.... that good thing might be for another person. Having an open plan (with no corners) arrangement sounds so much easier.....

I occasionally work with lawyers. I cannot imagine some of them in a relationship. In court they appear so cold. I can't even imagine some of them socializing.

sincitylover · 10/02/2009 23:02

no will block if I get another mail.

have to go DS1 is calling!!

N1 · 10/02/2009 23:08

Solve the problem. Block the people who you know are not your type. You can unblock after a week or 2. The temptation to open mail from someone is always there. For something to happen, there should be a desire at the very start. If the desire is replaced with anything negative, then the chance of success is low to none.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 10/02/2009 23:20

oh i do hate finding that you have one new message in your emails
and then curiosity forces you to look only for your heart to sink!

morning. so...n1 and asbm - when they heck are you 2 going to exchange numbers and get a date organised??

SCL - before i deleted i blocked a few contacts just from repeatedly sending me same initial message several times. they were just not my type. ok in RL i might have chatted to be nice when they started conversation. but it's a dating site. so obviously i'm not going to respond if i'm not interested in that way.so i dont understand why they get so upset.

abouteve -huge monty fan over here

and diver sent email back finally. apologised for it taking a while as he was "out of range"....he's crackers.

i went to bed early last night. aaaah it works wonders for the body and the mind.

inthemistsoftime · 11/02/2009 10:26

ok, so who on here has got plans for sat night?

sincitylover · 11/02/2009 10:30

morning all.

Samename2 and I are still trying to fix a date. Asked him if he wanted to stop trying to arrange something but we are still texting each other suggesting dates. Unfortunately I am not now free til Friday week.

Feeling more optimistic today about everything amazing what a bit of sun and cycling into work can do.

inthemistsoftime · 11/02/2009 10:40

I agree scl, its amazing what a bit of sunshine can do for the moral.

sincitylover · 11/02/2009 11:45

no plans for sat.

If nothing else will have lovely soak in bath (cliched but very nice nontheless) and maybe a small treat from the shops.

Money is tight at the moment.

i went to bed last night to save my sanity and prevent murder occuring

i dont get dogged loons asking why i havent replied to them, not for a long time now, i think my profile is too scary

however i did have a conversation with a male friend about this very topic before i fell asleep (another ex date)

he mentioned he had sent a few messages to one girl and she hadnt replied

i told him "mate, if she hasnt replied by the 2nd one at most, she isnt interested, so leave it there and stop contacting her"

he said he was put out that she hadnt replied

i just told him it was his poor bruised ego and to get over it, you cant make people want to get to know you, at which point he said but she seemed nice, and i laughed and said he knew bugger all about her apart from her pic and profile, so to stop being silly

he grudgingly agreed i was right

if any messages were from him, let me know i will kick his backside for you

aseriouslyblondemoment · 11/02/2009 12:45

inthemistsoftime · 11/02/2009 13:46

It looks like a movie and a take out for me too.

elmoandella · 11/02/2009 15:57

sincitylover · 11/02/2009 16:27

aagh the potential stalker from the main site I am on has found me on POF. Where I have a different nickname.

What are the chances of that happening!!

Have blocked him on there as well.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 11/02/2009 16:34

SCL that is awful
truly hideous
BLOCK and RUN!!
inthemist and Elmo as i've said before am an old fashioned girl dont do the asking

OP posts:
sincitylover · 11/02/2009 16:43

he has the same nickname on both sites. But POF is so huge I am quite surprised he found me.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 11/02/2009 16:48

i take it tho that you can search out a type ie height,hair colour etc
that's how my exbf found me again on FRD
it is still unnerving tho isn't it
