Part 15 still lurking about, I believe.

Gave up on frd after my sub ran out - got a message the other day but refuse to pay out good money I can't afford to see the tosser guy who sent it. I just think that the internet dating thing ain't for me. I don't really have the confidence to approach people (and anyway, on the rare occasion I do I usually get ignored) and don't have the time or inclination to go out on a date with someone when there isn't even a minute spark of attraction ...

So going to take a back seat again, lick my wounds and feel a bit sorry for myself ... and consider my options.

But still hoping you have a big MN (virtual) wedding party so we can all toast your success and future and get hammered!

asbm-yay congrats i didnt realise it was def on the cards for you! as kdk said its nice to know that it can all work out in the end!

As for plans to see mrjack, no doubt i will be seeing him at some point not sure when yet tho, i suggested tommorow but all depends how rough im feeling lol. and ive still got to pay him for fixing my toilet

janos-wohooo to date on friday! Does he have a nickname, any details? or have u already said and ive not read back far enough?

kdk-dont give up hope, why not try some of the other free sites?

aseriouslyblondemoment · 16/01/2010 14:39

how exciting!
so is he v.keen or being all cool about it?

kdk · 16/01/2010 14:41

betty - been there tried them all - plenty of fuckwits, okcretins, smooch.

Not sure why I am so spectacularly unsuccessful but not really willing to put my (already low) self esteem up for any more damage.

Janos · 16/01/2010 14:45

That's a shame kdk. I thought your profile was fantastic and you look great. If any man doesn't see that then he's a great big eejit, IMO.

I agree with Betty, free sites are worth a try.

I'm at home doing domestic-y stuff, very tedious but necessary. Off to have lunch (very healthy..not...heated up remains of last nights Indian).

thanks betty
kdk don't really know what to say to convince you to stick with it
out of interest have any of your friends checked out your profile,maybe they could give you some pointers?
or re-write your profile for you?
has anyone tried that sarah beeny site btw?

kdk · 16/01/2010 14:50

Mmmm, maybe my profile is so well-written and my pics so amazing I've scared all the men off! [gets excited for two seconds and then stops deluding self]

aseriouslyblondemoment · 16/01/2010 14:51

ooh janos

aseriouslyblondemoment · 16/01/2010 14:53

kdk it's poss worth looking at some other women's profiles

Betty79 · 16/01/2010 15:11

kdk-my profile on pof is rubbish, just general blurb lol i would show u but ive hidden it for now

lou33 · 16/01/2010 16:07

ooh janos this is good news

dd1 told me last night she prefers him to her own father as he pays more interest, though i havent told him that

the other kids are asking me to let him move in officially too, but its only a month since we got together

if i did though, like asbm i think i would like a fresh start in a new home (with much lower rent for a start)

aseriouslyblondemoment · 16/01/2010 16:48

i think it's the best way really lou
and i think you are either good with kids or you're not
my exh struggles tho he's been trying harder of late

thesouthsbelle · 16/01/2010 16:59

well, back from my date, not keen on sailor, we got on ok I guess but I'm not interested tbh, there was a few things he said/did said I was 'a little nuts' was v opinionated in my circs with XH. and tbh I went up to the loo came back down and thought I could just use a cuddle from gb about now so shan't be seeing him again.

gb has text but not rung - his phone is now off/out of signal?!?

off to catch up - bit dispondant at the minute.

lou33 · 16/01/2010 17:46

sorry it didnt go well belle, maybe you should give it a bit longer til gb is a bit more in your past before you date again?

asbm the rent on this place is v high anyway, and if we did it all officially (this is all theory btw) then i would have to come off my benefits that help me pay my rent, so a cheaper place is a good option

i have been thinking of putting my name down on the council list for a decent disabled property for ds2, so maybe its worth doing anyway?

i am off to mercedes benz world tomorrow to look at their mpv's as my motability car is up for renewal in may, so want to find out about one of their motors, and how much the deposit would be etc

so maybe a new relationship, new car and a new home this year, who knows?

aseriouslyblondemoment · 16/01/2010 17:53

belle agree with lou
have you got something planned for tonight?
or some vino and nice food in?!
fingers crossed that the council come up with something for you
would the kids be up for a move?

lou33 · 16/01/2010 18:41

i wouldnt move far because of their schools, but yes they would be fine about it

not doing much tonight, i am just waiting for dinner to be ready actually

kdk · 16/01/2010 19:16

sorry to hear the date wasn't all you hoped for but hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained - don't be despondent - at least you're going/getting asked on dates! Try to do something nice for you tonight and remember that tomorrow is another day ....

thesouthsbelle · 16/01/2010 19:24

yeah off out tonight to with mum/aunty.

sailor texted to say he understands can only be mates & what happens when I realise that gymboy isn't the one?!?

had a long chat with gymboy who's agreed to meet DS this week . we're no further forward I don't think inrespect of what's happening who knows. but I know how big a deal it is for him - esp as he said 'well i'll come to yours one day in the week early and meet him' I text him after & said well if you want to meet him why not come tomorrow might be easier if we're both busy during the week (and also thinking DS bed etc etc) he's said 'ok maybe. I feel so bad cos I can't say the things you want me to say' - not as in be together, but i also said to him I wanted him to tell me straight the other way as well.

he says that on past occassions when he's dithered/had doubts the girls not stuck around to see what happens - not sure if he's trying to say I can't take a hint or not!?!

also says we were totally exclusive just me n him.

better catch up now with you guys.

kdk · 16/01/2010 20:33

OK - who thinks this guy is for real?

sincitylover · 16/01/2010 21:05

Evening all

kdk I don't think that photo is real!

aseriouslyblondemoment · 16/01/2010 21:20

nice if it is
his profile is a bit suss tho tbh
has he messaged you kdk?
how are you scl?
and how is your friend doing?

kdk · 16/01/2010 21:21

me neither - what I don't get is what do these guys think - that you won't notice should they get you to meet up! Or that you'll just be too polite to mention.

Mind you, I did once arrange to meet a guy who didn't look too bad in his photo - we'd exchanged a few emails and spoke on the phone and then made a date in Covent Garden - well, all I can say is thank god, the pub had two entrances because he had to be AT LEAST 20 years older than he'd let on. I texted him to say that had he been honest I might have had the civility to say hello but as he'd had no respect I didn't feel the need ...

kdk · 16/01/2010 21:24

God no, he's not messaged me - would give him short shrift if he did, prat!

aseriouslyblondemoment · 16/01/2010 21:25

eww kdk that's hideous it reminds me of that awful date i went on last spring{god i'm still toe-curlingly cringing now emoticon}
