Does anyone want a few weeks free sub to match.com?

[Mandragore]

I say this without having properly checked whether it's transferable...was hoping I could change the password, and someone could alter the email addy and everything else and use it instead of me.

I subscribed in order to read an email from a nice looking bloke who turned out to be a nob, and feel so despondent I don't really want to use it!!

So £20 worth sub going spare.
I am a reg btw, just on a new name x

god can't you just carry on?
i met my exbf off FRD and he's the biggest nob going,but i picked myself up and have rejoined and am perservering with it all
not every man is like him i promise please don't let him put you off
you are too good for that

Asbm you are a true sweetie

But I have decided not to look
I am told my man will find me if I stop looking

ha

he might well do, but he could be on match too
look ,have a couple of glasses of vino and have a nosey thru
it might take a couple of weeks as often other users are away or might have just joined
if i can then you can!

Ok I've had a look through., Mostly nutters by the look of it but suddenly found two really nice looking blokes, I mean nice nice rather thn handsome nice...have emailed them, nothing to lose, maybe we'll find some kind of connection - I've decied not to look for a husband on there, just friends.

Thanks for the encouragement, I needed a kick up the bum

exactly!
nothing ventured etc
now pour yourself something nice and wait and see
and i will be checking up on you lol
i often need kicking up the arse too btw

Er am drinking a cola from McDonalds

That'll have to do!

Hi ,
just thought i'd add a note of encouragement,
I was on match had a few dates, but have just started dating the most sweet man who
looked at my profile on guardian soulmates, which at the time i wasn't a paid member as i had given up. Anyway i joined to email him and well after 4 dates we appear to be erm an item.
Very early days and may go pear shaped but i had forgotten the fun it can be . Not looking for a husband either.

You really don't know who or what's round the corner!

best of bestest luck!

Thanks! What a lovely story

I guess it goes to show there are nice normal men around too..

yay!
lovely story tigerlilli
enjoy!

Its very very very very early days, i'm a little worried because he's younger than me , but has a old head on his shoulders.
He knows all about my ds.
Not going to meet unless things develop, a bit old fasioned i know!

I have learnt so much since dvorce and really appreciate this site!

I was about to give up on dating sites and try other mediums!

I really have no illusions to this being anthing more than fun( yes i am that cynical)

It is a lottery this dating on the net malarky, Mandragore i hope you do carry on, it maybe worth it or change the site to one you think might have more suitable men, eg love and friends, guardian soulmates are 2 which are ok.Match is a good one too, which to be honest surprised me!

anyways let us know how you go!

Thanks Tiger and it all sounds most sensible to me, I'm worried this one will think me old fashioned too.

He's just emailed with his mobile number saying his children are usually on the PC so we can text instead - but I am rubbish at texting and it feels a bit weird, so I told him I have lost my mobile (which is true) - i hope he will not mind that.

He seems keen, though he is separated, rather than divorced, and from his photo he seems very sad and lonely looking. So I am worried he might not be ready for a new thing really. But I just want to be friends myself, so will see what he turns out like.

I feel quite anxious now as he might be expecting romance or love or whatever, and I'm not willing to go there until I have a firm idea of what the person is like. I just want to chat really.

I've got a profile on Soulmates, since over a year ago - but not very active on it and the men are not usually local. I agree it's a really nice site though!

tigerlilli
haven't we all?!
but lets face it a fella we could meet in a bar could just as easily turn out to be a bad un
i think the sites offer us a chance to take things very much at our own pace
and yes you do need to have a SOH to take the plunge
i think your approach is a sensible one tbh
all i want is a fella to go out with when i don't have my dcs, i don't want 24/7 any more
am glad that you are having a good time with this bloke

Mandragore,
you are very right, i gave up on soulmates and left my profile on it because everyone appears to live in tower hamlets!LOL!

i purely looked on site out of curiosity , and bang hello handsome local who'd looked at my profile!

I joined for a month and then emailed an hello!
And well erm yes !

to be honest me time away from work and parenthood is a novelty so whatever happens it has made me feel alot better about myself.At least i can attract erm nice ones sometimes!

i really don't want to involve ds, at all. not till ALOT later!

is 5 years age difference too much?

Yes i know i am freting!

It really depends on person, when i was seperated there is no way i could have started a new realtionship, but thats just the old fartet that i am! untill my absolute came through i didn't feel free.
Go at the pace you are comfortable with, if the guy doesn't like it, that says alot!

I have a very low tolerance level now to men who have a hidden agenda!But Don't most men!

bestest luck, it is a mire the dating world bleck!

mandragore I met my nm through match last summer, he sounds like the ones you are chatting to now, nice rather than stunning but he is lovely and kind and we have just had a fantastic weekend so I'd persevere if I were you! fwiw I was also rejected by some 'nice looking bloke' types and some not so nice too lol but the thing is not to take it personally, just be light hearted and see what happens, if nothing else it's interesting.

phew!
was about to say
'ninah wtf are you doing here..?

yep, still holding up that trophy not dropped it yet

Hello all,
fun while it lasted ! Gave my self esteem a boost!

He suddenly came out with i'm a good catholic boy who doesn't believe in premarital sex! said this whilst i was in bed with him!

i have sent him on his merry way! maybe i should just have told him there are probably celibacy dating sites out there somewhere!!!!!!!

Don't get me wrong i am not antireligious in anyway shape or form!

i just think a real relationship involves all aspects of each other!

I like sex is that bad?????????????????

Am wondering if it even occured to him that i hadn't had sex in over a year so sleeping with him was BIG deal to me!

Anyway shed some tears and moving on to an introductions agency where maybe i'll find a man who actually wants a relationship! ( sorry to moan ) just needed a vent!

omg what is this man on?
so sorry to hear this tigerlilli
hop over onto the man thread for some cheering up with all our crap stories
the more the merrier!

mandragore
