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.

Sorry to hear that Holly. It can leave you feeling deflated, I know. I'm exchanging messages atm with someone who seems nice. I feel very half hearted about it though.

Holly23 · 23/03/2009 18:46

Oh I don't know I'm feeling quite disappointed but not surprised by fittie. tbh I think he profile pic was quite old and he described himself as athletic although imo he's let himself go a bit - you know beer belly and all that, he should really describe his build as "a few extra pounds" rather then athletic on pof!

Janos - Doesn't surprise me that he can't spell, a lot of them can't. Have you replied or will you just block/ignore him?

RJ - sent you an email.

Holly23 · 23/03/2009 18:50

AboutEve- Yes it does get like that doesn't it. I have seen another guy I like but not sure whether to contact him though. Since Part 1 of this thread started we've all experienced so much of this dating website malarkey haven't we? and we've all been disappointed. So dare I ask "Where the bloody hell are all the fit and interesting men?"

Remotew · 23/03/2009 19:02

The one I'm chatting to is about 2 hours away. It didn't work out with someone one mile away so don't hold out much hope.

I said a couple of days ago that it would be nice to hear of some successes on this thread. Ninah is still going strong after 6 months but the rest of us aren't having much luck yet.

kdk · 23/03/2009 19:03

sorry to hear your news Holly - even if you know they're not right/completely wrong, it's still somehow depressing.

TBH, I feel like packing it in at the mo as think the answer to where are the etc etc is on another planet - or is it just that the ones on dating sites should be?

Even the ones who seem okay turn out be t*ssers. For instance, I was chatting to a guy the other night on PoF who seemed okay, wanted my number etc BUT when I said not to phone that night because I was a) about to get kids ready for bed and b) was going out myself (for 1st time in ages tho didn't tell him that), he made it obvious that all he'd wanted was some dirty chat!

Janos · 23/03/2009 19:21

I think I will just block or ignore.

He was very nice and enjoyed chatting but he seemed a bit too keen, IYSWIM. Going on about how beautiful I was and talking about how he wants to raise a family.

Errmmm....

Janos · 23/03/2009 19:57

I don't mean there's anything wrong with that, per se...just not with someone I have only just start chatting to.

Holly23 · 23/03/2009 19:58

KDK - thats awful!

Janos - that sounds a bit too keen! tread with caution!

Janos · 23/03/2009 20:10

kdk. What an arse.

I will be treading with caution!

Chats = ok

Discussing life plan with someone you;ve been talking to for 10 mins = not ok

ridingjoker · 23/03/2009 20:16

i may have success story with superman. will have to wait till june to find out. altho i am considering going to see him first. specially while dc are really driving me potty.

ridingjoker · 23/03/2009 20:16

holly replied to email.

lou33 · 23/03/2009 20:49

thesp was texting me earlier before he got on a plane back from scotland

not been on pof

Janos · 23/03/2009 21:00

Just been chatting to a network engineer on MSN. Very keen and a bit forward..seems nice tho.

I suspect they are when they want something from you tho

inthemistsoftime · 23/03/2009 21:24

Have been chatting to an engineer as well Janos!

He was on FRD, I think he may have been the only man so far who hasn't been forward!

Maybe its because he didn't fancy me! lol

No, this chap sounds like a right adrenaline junkie, I dont think I could keep up with him!

kdk · 23/03/2009 21:47

After getting a message from a 57-year-old I have given up at least for tonight! Am consoling myself by eating bar of chocolate ...

Was thinking - maybe what we need is the human equivalent of swap shop? I mean we must all have a spare unwanted man around - I for one have a 47-year-old brother that I could pass on to a good home - am open to offers/swaps/suggestions .... I'd offer my xh but doubt v much anyone would want him.

Remotew · 23/03/2009 21:57

Kdk your brother is the same age as me! Don't tell me he dates younger women. I've been getting a couple of nice messages of a guy tonight, he sounds fit, interesting and intelligent and also around my age. Will reply tomorrow when I have more time.

Shattered tonight so need to sleep soon.

Janos · 23/03/2009 22:01

This one who I've been chatting to is a fitness freak. Very proud of his six pack.

He showed me!

Janos · 23/03/2009 22:05

Inthemists, was he in Glasgow..?

kdk · 23/03/2009 22:12

I think he has a (very old and out of date) profile on FRD. I will have a look and maybe post it here ....

kdk · 23/03/2009 22:14

mind you I don't think he has a six-pack nice or otherwise ... but he is very nice

aseriouslyblondemoment · 23/03/2009 22:24
