hey rj, to much information on the no2s thankyou!

asbm, nobody could ever think of you as an after thought, he just hasn't met you yet.

best way to give up fags is to start running works for me, am about to sign up for a half marathon in nov this year, so training hard, it gives you a great butt as well!

ridingjoker · 05/05/2009 14:31

asbm. treat em mean. keep em keen.

i dont have patience for that.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 05/05/2009 14:40

ladies
oh yes indeedy!
nor will he be having the pleasure of meeting either if he doesn't raise his game

I don't normally post but was recommended to pop over. I (on the advice from a few MN'ers) am not a single parent though (just a single nanny).

ridingjoker · 05/05/2009 15:11

whats your situ jelly?

LouLovesAeroplaneJelly · 05/05/2009 15:14

Pathetic
I was asking on MN about online dating as was told to come over here.
Basically I have been single for nearly 6 years (I got fat and didn't want to see myself naked let alone anyone else see me) and am sick of it really. Have forgotton how to approach men really. Am no longer the blond skinny thing I once was and have lost lots of self confidence. Hope its ok that I join. I nanny for 4 kids so it seems like I am a single parent (the kids parents are not around much) sometimes.

lou33 · 05/05/2009 15:19

i'm glad it all went well rj

as for me and setting up dates, no not right now, i have more pressing things on my mind tbh

maybe further along the line tho

NervousNutty · 05/05/2009 15:57

Feeling any better today Lou ??

I don't think I am even going to bother looking anymore, it's just not worth the hassle and I am to cynical and disbelieveing now.

lou33 · 05/05/2009 16:04

hmm well today has been shit but for other reasons that i am more used to dealing with, rather than exh

ASBM - I have joined Match so far. Not sure about others though. I need all the encouragment I can get I think.
I haven't read all the posts but it seems you lot on here are the gurus.

NervousNutty · 05/05/2009 17:09

Oh i duno, I have tried all of the usual ones and I seem to attract all the knobs tbh.

Can't afford to try a paying one atm so might give it a miss for now.

ridingjoker · 05/05/2009 18:29

jelly - pof has been good to me. depends on your area though. and have to be brave and do the messaging yourself as well as waiting to receive.

LouLovesAeroplaneJelly · 05/05/2009 19:08

Riding - what is pof?
I messaged someone today - almost felt like vomiting afterwards. maybe I should go on one of the websites that cater for the 'larger lady'........

ridingjoker · 05/05/2009 19:14

pof = plenty of fish dot com.

i'm no stick insect. but getting back out in that dating pond will boost your confidence and help you find mr right.

weights only an issue if you make it, learn to be confident and happy with yourself. accepting that who you are.

any man who cant accept you how you are isn't the right one for you.

go on a few dates with mr right-now though will work wonders.

helped me even just chatting with men and getting to know them.

LouLovesAeroplaneJelly · 05/05/2009 19:26

I probably need to do that. I know that I need to get out more. I have no idea where this shyness came from. Will see how it gooes I guess.

ridingjoker · 05/05/2009 19:28

pof is free. what area you in?

LouLovesAeroplaneJelly · 05/05/2009 19:55

Just near Richmond
I like free

ridingjoker · 05/05/2009 20:03

i'm in scotland. due to typical tight scots its the best site up here.

not sure about your area. maybe one of others are in your area and can advise which is best.

pof is by far one of the busiest no matter which area. great as high turnover and lots to choose from. but you have to wade through them in search of something good

aseriouslyblondemoment · 05/05/2009 21:19

rofl @ rj
yes pof's been v good to you hasn't it
i don't think any of us are gurus tbh we've just all tried the online dating thing and we just share all our setbacks experiences
prob.the best thing i can say is to keep your SOH as you'll need it,but i think rj is spot on with what she's said

morning all, hows everyone today? is anyone making plans for any nights out or dates this wkd?

NervousNutty · 06/05/2009 08:09

Morning, I am fed up again today just for a change. I am getting fed up of being fed up now lol.

Nothing planned here, my free friday night will no doubt be spent on here and fb again with a bottle of red.

What is everyone else up to ?

lou33 · 06/05/2009 09:06
