I find it hard to say that I have a particular taste in men, its more about the personality than anything else.

I have worked in environments where everyone is suited and booted and I must say I do find that quite attractive, however I have also worked in a catering environment where clothes weren't the issue, it was much more about a blokes personality.

I like people who do not conform to the norm, a bit like myself really!

ridingjoker · 05/03/2009 16:22

very similar to myself.i find people that are interested in doing things and learning things and trying new things are fascinating aswell.i'm drawn like a moth.looks are just a bonus

Just been catching up with the thread. Glad you enjoyed your night with Diver RJ.

I have a super king size bed and woke up this morning with three inches of it to myself! Still I don't mind being cuddled all night this way if its just once or twice a week. Couldn't cope with it every night.

Do you ever feel that a lot of these blokes on internet sites are serial daters. Even though they might meet someone that they like, they carn't stop looking because they don't want to miss out on all the other women on the sites. Not all are like it but many are. Sad, but I think it's fulfilling male fantasies. Taking advantage of opportunities that would never exist for them without the internet.

Hi Eve!
How you doing?
I think that some are for sure either that or they are just desp. for a girlfriend
It was amazing how many faces i recognised when i rejoined FRD
I take it that things are going well with the Capt?

Things are going well. Had a chat about what we both wanted out of it last night. I told him I wasn't looking for anything serious . I might eat my words one day but want to take it easy atm. He agreed.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 05/03/2009 16:33

Thats good to hear that you're both in agreement
Does this mean that you're off the sites then?
Or do you still like to window shop?

Remotew · 05/03/2009 16:37

I'm hidden on POF so not getting any messages. If things keep going well I will delete my profile. My foreign friend asked me out the other day I text back that I was seeing someone so that's how I am thinking about thing with my Capt.

How are things with you? Anyone for a possible meet up? I reckon you should get a photo of Blackberry man's villa before you ditch him altogether.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 05/03/2009 16:42

lol
i can tell how things are going with capt because he's now a my
i am good thanks
no,I haven't been looking and am rid of all the cybermen and hopefully Blackberry will graciously accept defeat too
Hoping to see T1WGA next weekend
And i think we can imagine the interior of his Spanish villa

abouteve - how lovely he's my capt.

i reckon some men on the sites a cybersluts.

they want your attention and do anything to get it. then they either pull back at last minute and dont follow thru. or else go around sleeping with as many as possible

inthemistsoftime · 05/03/2009 17:36

oh god, bob is back in touch!!!

I think I may have been to hasty in dismissing him so soon!

He is such a nice guy, maybe I need to get over the fact that h wasn't!

newlysinglemummy · 05/03/2009 17:37

Hi Ladies and guys...

I'm new to this thread so wondering if anyone can give me a quick run down as to what its all about?

I'm in my early 20's with a 20month old dd and have been completly single from december, but was hardly in a relationship before that.

I have now decided it could be time to get out and meet people and was told that maybe I should come to this thread for support?

Is everyone here doing online dating? Or some just meeting people when out and about?

inthemistsoftime · 05/03/2009 17:42

welcome newlysinglemummy, we are all on here to have a bit of fun and support each other, and it is defiantly working.

So far we have 2 possible matches ie Holly and Ridingjoker, the rest of us are just having a bit of fun with possible benefits.

Our one token male is N1, and he is off line for the moment but will rejoin us at any time.

What are you up too?

ridingjoker · 05/03/2009 17:45

NSM - hi, i was on online. but got scared off it. in contact with 1 guy from POF(plenty of fish) from before i deleted my profile.

also have been on date with a guy i met in pub and gave my number to. but he turned out to be a complete loon.

lol. so doesn't matter where you meet. all is welcome.

i have ds 3yo and dd 19 mo. and in my 20's also.split from exdp in oct. moved out dec.been dipping my toe in pool since feb(i think)

inthemistsoftime · 05/03/2009 17:53

rj, am so pleased that you have been "dipping your toe " since Feb, me too. My relationship with h was on its last legs for about 2 years, most of my friends/family think I am too hasty, I dont!!!!!

newlysinglemummy · 05/03/2009 18:00

oh so this is like mn's own dating section?

well i am thinking about dating or maybe just flirting not too sure at the moment as i dont have much time with dd being so young. I work part time but very random days. And do not feel I really can get a babysitter often enough to be dating really. As y family have dd when I work so feel I cannot ask them so I can go on dates too.

I went out on the weekend and took this guys number as he liked me, dont know if i like him or not as didn't chat to him for long then I text him last night saying I would let him know next time I'm outso we can meet for a drink.

He seems like a 'nice' guy, not my usual bad boy wana bes or guys that tink they are so good looking. But I am just thinking this from a short conversation. And one text.

He text me late last night so will text him again soon. I just worry that I might seem boring as all i do most days is look after dd so do not think that would seem sooo interesting to a guy.

Also gave some weird guy my number the same night when I got drunk who called and text me loads but I just ignored him. Mean I know but he seemed weird...

Have never done internet dating or anything.

ridingjoker · 05/03/2009 18:01

my family and friends are encouraging me. anything that gets me further from exp they are pushing me towards.

my sister met diver yesterday a she was baby sitting. she liked him. my friends had been sending me texts all morning to see if things went well. had to tell them to f off as he was still with me. lol. they waited till the afternoon and i got a barage of questions and congratulation.

ridingjoker · 05/03/2009 18:07

nsm - i have very very little time. about to start work soon, just waiting on shifts being arranged. and ou course due to start in may.

but luckily my thing i have going just now is LDR. so only need to find some time to fit him in about once a month. so far i've had a date on 15th feb and now 4/5th march.

it's always very last minute when i find out he's coming this way. so need to scrable last minute and sort sitters.

only chance i get to go to him is if i can get exp to manage to take dc overnight. but so far we've been unsuccessful. trying again on sat though.

but this is actually great for me. as i would be annoyed by someone wanting weekly atention.

what i'm rabbiting on about.... is perhaps some sort of relationship or dating is possible. just a case of finding someone who's just a busy as you so they dont complain about lack of regular dates.

newlysinglemummy · 05/03/2009 18:08

inthemist - my relationship was over for a few years too so i think when you finally decide thats it for good you feel ready to move on.

ridingjoker - all my family keep telling me i should meet someone new too, so think they feel it would keep me away from exp.
Sounds like things went well, how did you feel about a new guy seeing you naked? I'm a little worried about my saggy belly, even tho they prob wont mind...

inthemistsoftime · 05/03/2009 18:08

oh rj, I can see that diver man is good for you,

nsm, you need to speak with lou and asbm, they are seriously good with plain speaking. lol

ridingjoker · 05/03/2009 18:17

i worried about the saggy belly thing more before he arrived as i had 24 hr notice to panic.

so i rushed out and bought new undies in debenham sale.

hopefully he was too busy looking at them to care.

he actually made me feel very at ease with the whole thing.and he had stressed that everything was at my pace. and allowed me to make the first moves.

think it really depends on who your first experience is with.

perhaps a "nice" guy is the best way to go. i definately wouldn't go for an adonis as my first venture back out there.

inthemistsoftime · 05/03/2009 18:22

rj, he sounds ab fab, he made you feel at ease, a wonderful thing!

ridingjoker · 05/03/2009 18:36

not at ease just now.....still waiting nervously to see if i've scared him off with some of the following.

a) realisation i have 2 VERY young dc. photo's,toys and nappy boxes.

b) my horrible naked body which is in a terrible state.

c)i stay 4 hr away.and he doesn't like driving.

says he would text when he knew where he was staying tonight with this snow

i'm so flaming nervous. hate to think i've added a notch on the bed post for someone unworthy.

ridingjoker · 05/03/2009 18:38

oh and
d)hiding from places where exp knows the owner when we went to pub so no tells exp i was out with a fella . taking back alleys and long streets round to avoid people.think he thought i was slightly mad.

inthemistsoftime · 05/03/2009 18:43

rj, chill out, he is so definitely into you, god he has invested so much time and energy maintaining contact with you, remember he was prepare to stay else where if you weren't comfortable with him saying with you, he is a rare find.
