maybe eve

i have other irons int he fire anyway

and i always have my best mate to hang with dont i?

Holly23 · 14/03/2009 20:32

DP - know there's dodgy men on pof but met someone on there and were still in touch and going on another date soon, so I can't knock it too much. Have you contacted anyone you like, or do you wait for them to initiate contact?

Holly23 · 14/03/2009 20:34

watching flashdance on BBC1's comic relief dance thing on bbc1, its funny. Did you know that in the original movie that some of the dancing in that song is performed by a man!

Remotew · 14/03/2009 20:38

Lou yes you do and he is lovely. Other irons? Tell me more.

Holly that's bad and of course we can mention our DC's on this thread. We are on a parenting site after all . My DD used to come home regularly in tears from visits to her dads family. She went to his house a few times but didn't like the atmosphere. 11 is such a delicate age for the girls.

Not on FRD, don't want to pay. POF is pants in this area.

Doll not ignoring you. I must admit I've not had too much crap off POF. Never reply unless they are very exceptional, for the site anyway. Best not to give any encouragement. Now facebook speedate is another matter. Don't venture there at all, some serious perverts. Cannot believe that normal women actually feed it.

Remotew · 14/03/2009 20:39

Yes I saw the original Flashdance and they reckoned her tight buttocks were that of a man.

supervixen · 14/03/2009 20:44

evening all, hope RJ is having fun.

agree doll, FRD is too close to home for me, and you have to pay! so not going there but joined to search!

might try POF later but im not holding out much hope.

Remotew · 14/03/2009 20:46

I have been on POF for about 14 months. Only reply to about 5% of messages and only met one guy off it. I fell for him and he me but it was short lived.

The good thing if that it's free so you can hang around on there indefinately. What a horrible thought.

Holly23 · 14/03/2009 20:50

Thanks Eve

Wonder why some websites attract more pervy men then others, obviously must be the free ones but their are some on frd and thats a paying one! I've seen one guy on there twice I'm sure but with two seperate profiles and names!

lou33 · 14/03/2009 20:52

i found my best mate on pof

i saw him today eve, we went ot sainsburys to shop

he spent half the time smacking my arse and hugging me, up and down the aisles

i had to keep saying loudly that he was not my bf and i didnt really know him

Remotew · 14/03/2009 20:54

Holly, are things still on the back burner with 'Fittie'?

Holly23 · 14/03/2009 20:54

I only reply if they seem genuine and send a proper message. Others don't even deserve a reply!

Remotew · 14/03/2009 20:55

lol Lou, he was obviously feeling frisky. I want an invite to the wedding.

Holly23 · 14/03/2009 20:58

Fittie's fine, had a lot on his plate with new job and dealing with a death in the family but has always made time to contact me and I feel we have built up a good rapport. I fancy him like mad and can't wait to see him again, the funeral is next week so things will ease up for him after that.

Holly23 · 14/03/2009 20:59

Lou - maybe you and bf could make an agreement that when you both reach 50 if you are both still single you'll marry each other!

Remotew · 14/03/2009 21:04

Holly antispation is a great thing.

I've have a couple of male mates who have offered to marry me if I make it to 60 single. Cannot do the 50 thing as its not that far off . Also I don't fancy either of them so that would be the death of my spirit.

Remotew · 14/03/2009 21:05

Excuse my crap spelling. Blame it on the red wine.

Holly23 · 14/03/2009 21:09

Eve - it could have been worse - the spelling I mean lol.

lou33 · 14/03/2009 21:09

he was definitely frisky

i did remind him we had been there and done that and he would get over me one day

all in good humour of course

lol @ wedding, omg no way ever, i think i would kill him if he was my bf

kdk · 14/03/2009 21:10

Hi Holly23 - have emailed you re the list of men you sent through ... btw how much does frd cost - if it's worthwhile may have to try and find the price of a subscription ...

Holly23 · 14/03/2009 21:26

My pleasure kdk, glad you liked some of them and I have emailed you back.
Asbm - can you remember how much frd costs to subscribe?

ninah · 14/03/2009 21:34

sorry not caught up yet but need views - have said on here before about nm and issues with his ex, custody of his dc etc, dc been living with dad ie nm for a while and now his ex wants one to live and go to school at hers. Parents are leaving decision to ds and he is obv traumatised. Trying not to get sucked in but can't help it. Ended up having long discussion about it last night and nm agreed he needed to stand up for status quo ie ds stays with him and other ds. Anyway they all met up today to discuss and were supposed to come to a decision, only nothing happened, just got text saying decision still left to ds who needs more time. So wtf were they doing all day then, I'm thinking? Nm wants me to go over for meal etc and obv sex but I'm seething at the way all this is being handled really cross and upset basically aibu? baggage baggage baggage they were married a long time and whatever he says about it I think issooos

kdk · 14/03/2009 21:35

tbh - i would be quite happy just to meet someone who was good company and who is capable of intelligent conversation - I think I'm too cynical to believe I'll meet my soul mate so not sure it would be worthwhile paying a dating site subs - or is that me being too negative?

dollparts · 14/03/2009 21:45

Holly- have contacted two men, chatted but not gone any further. I lost interest in one and the other is fairly random at sending replies/messages.

Glad to hear you have had some success

SV, I had a feeling he was single but to see him come up in a search was a shock! I didn't expect to see someone whose garden I can see from my bedroom window

lou33 · 14/03/2009 22:01

ninah, remind me how long you have been seeing him?

Remotew · 14/03/2009 22:06

Oh Ninah its so hard being an outsider looking in. Really not sure what you can do except be supportive. They are his DC's and he need to work out what is best for them.

Can see you are not living together yet so that's all I can advise. Try not to see his ex as a threat. Yes they were together a long time but its over now and ishooos are inevitable. Hard I know, have been there.
