thrilled to be kicking off part 6 on a sinful note lol

Blaming the vino for texting samename1 and asking him out - he text right back suggesting early this afternoon but don't think I can make it as am waiting for my brother who is coming down to help me swap washing machines and is always late bless him!

Then had a rather raunchy chat with young guy who have been in touch with for ages - trying to think of a nickname for him - very good looking - lives in your neck of the woods Lou. Think we might meet up soon.

At least resisted the urge to text exbf.

he looked like the elephant man

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/03/2009 21:08

shame

ninah · 22/03/2009 21:10

it did make me grateful I wouldn't be sitting across a table from him. Poor dc.
shame your meal was cancelled asbm, maybe you can reconvene

lou33 · 22/03/2009 21:11

ninah · 22/03/2009 21:13

I think I'll have to root it out again lou

Please can I be a later joiner to this thread?

After splitting from my boyfriend recently I'm deciding to give online dating a try again and gone back on to POF. Not looking for anything heavy, just to test the water and see how things are.

I put my profile back up these eve and have had 8 responses, including one from a 25 year old (!!)

Is it ok to mull things over for a bit before replying? I've completely forgotten the etiquette of these sites...

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/03/2009 21:24

Hi Janos!
wey hey check you out with your 8 responses
take as long as you want to respond
ninah yes please do you can be the threads astrologer
and not wanting to reconvene dinner,it was with exh and dcs,usually not a great combination!

ninah · 22/03/2009 21:26

oh god thought just you and dc - I know that other combination only too well!

sincitylover · 22/03/2009 21:26

I remember sun signs think I had the book.

I am a Leo and exh was a virgo very bad mix astrologically. Exbf is libra. Think that's better.

Not sure about Tigger.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/03/2009 21:29

why do we marry these fellas then if we're not astrologically compatible?
i mean hey ho ladies the warning signs were there
we should have heeded Russell Grant

ninah · 22/03/2009 21:32

is russell grant happily married?
I had a brace of gemini just before I stopped men for a bit, I don't think they can be so good for me

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/03/2009 21:34

what does the book say?
my ascendent sign is gemimimi app.

ninah · 22/03/2009 21:37

the book gives you a run down of the characteristics of each sign, the Gemini Man/Woman/Child/Lover etc and comments on how they pair up, it's pretty detailed! I will try and dig it out if I still have it, but obv was no use to me! My friend used to sit on her bed and consult it - made better use than I did. Then again I never wanted to marry a golf playing solicitor ...

ninah · 22/03/2009 21:42

in fact the very thought is maknig me tired! night all

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/03/2009 21:43

oh yes please do
then we can come to you with our findings fellas for you to go and consult the said book
and then you can return withominous good news

lou33 · 22/03/2009 21:52

hi janos

Janos · 22/03/2009 22:05

Dunno how come 8 responses, I guess I'm nice looking but certainly not 'all that'.

They guys who have replied seem nice but not sure - I'll take it as it comes.

One bloke seemed very nice but his profile was all written in text speak which put me off enormously! Am I being a snob?

Janos · 22/03/2009 22:06

Just realised I have over-used the word nice there. Urgh. Nice is the sort of word you use to describe a biscuit or something!

Hi Lou

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/03/2009 22:15

Janos not a snob no, text talk is for texting only
tho come to think of it my first post on MN was quite texty as i'd been texting heavily at the time

Janos · 22/03/2009 22:22

It's just a personal hate of mine...sets my teeth on edge for some reason! It's so teenage!

aseriouslyblondemoment · 22/03/2009 22:26

no it's just plain awful esp.on your profile
and then there's those one's which are littered with spelling mistakes too
i am not on pof but FRD and see it alot
what makes me laugh is these fellas then have the audacity to tick the intellectual box on the characteristics selection too

lou33 · 22/03/2009 22:27

text speak is a huge turn off

i mean, gawjus, ffs!

Janos · 22/03/2009 22:31

What's FRD aseriouslyblondemoment?

Also, another thing that annoys me is spelling mistakes. And not starting or finishing sentences correctly.

I am the grammar nazi

Janos · 22/03/2009 22:35

Think I frighterned off the 25 year old, I said to him you do realise I am 34, don't you?
