angelcat welcome, i'm a relative newbie to the thread myself, but everyone here is lovely, you will get lots of positive advice & encouragement! and there are an increasing number of success stories - asbm, lou, (just waiting for juice/irish to give in & admit they are meant to be, lol!)
what site are you on? I've been on Match for a few weeks, seems ok so far.
eve - I never used to do the asking, then thought what the hell, but this doesnt seem to work either! to be fair to FB man, have realised he is at the footie (clue should have been all his status updates are footie related!) so might give him til tonight to reply!
oh, and my friend just reminded me I had 2 guys chatting me up in the pub on Boxing night (albeit both were a good 10 years younger than me!)so possibly I'm not beyond hope!....even got a kiss from one of them
