Part 15 still lurking about, I believe.

oh, that's good! he sounds quite nice, good luck with it
I sneaked a look at match and the ground is very bare, some of them look plain weird from their photos, and that's your chance to look your best, right?!

kdk · 06/01/2010 18:25

I'm amazed at some of the photos people put up on dating websites - the ones with fish are bad enough as are the standing by ferraris that he owns only in his dreams but the bizarre poses/shots that people choose to represent them to the world ...

kdk · 06/01/2010 18:26

Wish you could paste photos on to here - mind you, not nice laughing at other people's misfortunes ...

FairyLightsForever · 06/01/2010 19:38

Good luck sponge, hope you have a great night.

asbm- you could be right, I could just be impatient!

kdk- it would be quite good fun, we could have a 'find the weirdest profile pic' competition

ARGHHHH!!!! DS is doing my head in - why is it when bed time comes he thinks it's acceptable to mess about playing games, then does 2 poops in his nappy one after the other with a fresh one on then laughs and then goes finally to bed at 9pm not impressed. Anyhow.

kdk - save the pic n then put them on your profile on here.

fairy - how long have you known him - agree might be a slow burner thing?

ninah - it's not that i'm not happy nec just frustrated & feeling hormonal besides him at the mo.

sponge - glad he's still coming.

can we name & shame some of the worst profiles for us to ogle at or is that wicked? lol.

was thinking today, spoke to gymboy on NYD (few times hard call to make) we agreed then would talk on tuesday. then spoke online on sat, sunday 1 text/online, monday 2 texts, y'day 3 texts & he tried to call spoke online for about an hour as well, today 3 texts (replied to 2 of them so far). do I need to think about ringing him at all? it's the whole used to talk 2 times a day thing but it's gone totally (did cut down when was away anyhow) not sure, think I might well just leave it.

kdk · 06/01/2010 20:10

@ fairy - not usually one to blow my own trumpet, but I'd win that one hands down ....

ninah · 06/01/2010 20:21

belle texting etc is OK but sometimes is not the best form of communication, easy to misunderstand etc. Maybe because I'm old and a Luddite but I find it quite frustrating to text and text alone. Unless with old friends I know really well
Right now my mobile's down and I must admit I'm loving it.
I dunno. Just seems he doesn't make you feel 100% special the way he should
The profiles I'm looking at are not weird in the sense of fish/ferraris though I've seen those too, and the horrible home decor in the background,the pub mates, the half cropped pic which an ex has obv been deleted from etc etc. Just kind of gurning with odd spec frames. And all either 'separated' or 'been in committed relationships but not married'?? hmm and 'not sure' about children. Just kind of desperate middle aged men, really, thinking they are 25 and hot.

Monty100 · 06/01/2010 20:25

Sponge - best of luck!

Will catch up later ladies.

I'm just defrosting my toes!

kdk · 06/01/2010 20:36

ninah - I've never got that one either - a 48-year-old man (or older) who's not sure he wants kids - let's face it it's unlikely you'll find someone young enough to have them with you .... or the ones who are scared shitless about being hurt again but are still on dating websites .... a guy once told me that he reckons 90% of the male profiles without photos are married guys who just want to play away but are terrified of being spotted ....

FairyLightsForever · 06/01/2010 20:42

belle, we've been dating 7 weeks now, messaging for a month or so before that. I know it's not long, but he sent me photos of himself on holiday and I didn't look at them and think 'Mmm yum'. We can chat for hours though.
Have never really done a 'slow burner' before- maybe that's why I'm still single

Janos · 06/01/2010 20:43

Sorry I'm on a bit late for this but Juicy I wanted to pop on and say happy birthday!

Hope you;ve had an ace day sledging and just enjoying yourself

Asbm - can't now remember how I persuaded DS but I must have been convincing because he didn't want to get out, despite much screeching to start with.

OP posts:
ninah · 06/01/2010 20:47

bloke I met put the not sure thing to kids and turns out he'd had a vasectomy - how much of a ditherer can you be?!
they prob think they are keeping their options open but imo it's better and more attractive to just be honest

kdk · 06/01/2010 20:59

and here we go again - nutter no 898 in a series of god knows how many ....

this is from a message whose previous message I had for some reason ignored ....

'hi dear...
Jan. 6, 2010 ? 8:45pm

My Soul mate,

How are you ? I being fall in love with you.

I promise you this, from this day forth: I will love you forever - don't' ever doubt that. I will never want anyone else's touch but yours; you make me feel like I am the only man in the world. You are the only woman in the world as far as I am concerned. You are my heart and soul. I feel as though we are meant to be together, that we have been brought together by God. I have always believed that I had a soul mate out there and I am sure that is you.

A lots Kisses dear talk to you soon

--Asu'

Okay - just sit tight dear, the men in white coats are on their way.

Janos · 06/01/2010 21:29

Ha ha kdk, can't imagine why you didn't reply the first time round!

That reminds me of a hilarious email I received on match once...it was supposed to be a deeply erotic and sexy poem. Actually it was hilarious. Full of crap like 'I yearn to caress your body and fill it with my love'

Bwa ha ha ha!!!

OP posts:
kdk · 06/01/2010 21:35

I sometimes wonder why I bother - I mean you spend ages trying to write a profile that gives a hint of your personality without making you sound like a nutter and all you get is .... nutters. I've now point blank said please don't message me if you are under 30, married, want to do my housework naked, are a virgin, just looking for sex .... if I add 'are a nutter' I fear I shall never ever get a message again!

lou33 · 06/01/2010 21:45

kdk dont you just love those messages

i had a man email me from ghana saying similar with a picture attached of him stroking a donkey

second night not seeing the mechanic , he was deliberating if he should risk the journey or not, but we both decided it would be daft to risk it, especially after the local traffic reports my way

he is determined t make it tomorrow though

and at least i got to watch inglorious basterds (which he would suffer but not be keen on i think)

i was meant to do my enormous roots , but will do that tomorrow (too much disaronno tired tonight)

ninah · 06/01/2010 21:47

hahahaha kdk that's hilarious
if they show signs of wanting to do housework naked send them in my direction I could take dc out for a walk and come back to a nice clean kitchen

kdk · 06/01/2010 21:49

lou - wouldn't mind but this one claims to be from London - or at least be in London - and 30 not 7. But thank god no donkey pics or, not so far anyway - electric scooters and dogs though!

Here's hoping that the mechanic makes it through the snow today - if he does, it shows how much he cares as would be very easy to just say wtf, I'm staying in!

ninah · 06/01/2010 21:52

I being fall in love with you - priceless

Janos · 06/01/2010 21:53

Hah, lou I bet you look gawjuss even with big roots!

kdk

I've had some real corkers. What amazes me is that some guys think we will fall for this crap.

OP posts:
Janos · 06/01/2010 21:54

Oh is mechanic on his way?

I will cross my fingers, toes and other crossable bits that he gets through!

OP posts:
kdk · 06/01/2010 21:55

Oh, I'm falling alright - falling asleep.

lou33 · 06/01/2010 21:56
