Where have all the fit, interesting and available men gone (pt 17)

[Remotew]

Has no-one beaten me to it yet?

Juicy sounding good.

WG old friend is worth seeing again.

Second not to arrange a meet up without me. Maybe down south in May.

woohoo pirate, work that charm on him

ooh this is exciting pirate.

my date for sat with big ducks seems to be back on. we're meeting after the gig in city centre.

sponge - good luck with date. what you doing for it?

If I were (a)pirate, I'd give hatesponge my password so that she could (very kindly) see what the message was. (I got this flash of inspiration in the shower this morning).

I think the problem with online dating is that the blokes think they are spoilt for choice so you are easily indispensable. Pirate cat, your profile is lovely, he would be mad not to get in touch with you. If he thinks this is odd then he's led a very sheltered life

My update:
Fit Friend - had lovely reminiscing chat with him last night, (haven't spoken for 10 years) he's coming over on Sun.

Handsome - I agreed to go for a drink but haven't heard since. Weird because when I check my sent msgs in POf, he's not there at all.

Funny man - been writing to someone on POF, nothing on the looks department but he's intelligent and very funny and I likes him.

Idiot Loser - he's the last pof guy that I went out with and dumped me on New Years day. Kept having lots of sad missing him thoughts last night so made a list of things I don't like about him (came to 40) and feel much better.

wg that probably wont work though as pirate hasnt got membership to see her messages, sponges membership would only apply to her own account

good luck on sunday, hope to goes well, ime when messages are no longer in your pof account it is because they are no longer a member, do you have his number?

the mechanic told me he loved me last night

WOOHOO! Did you say it back lou?

@ stupid shower idea that makes no sense at all.

Handsome just emailed me to say sorry, he deleted my last msg by mistake. He is still a member so don't know why my sent msgs to him don't show up.

Off for a run now. Yeh, sure it's raining but that never stopped Rocky Balboa did it.

i did

i shall go off shopping now and possibly act like gene kelly doing singing in the rain

Lou .

oooh I just got a pof email off a Simon Le Bon lookalike!

Does he look like Simon Le Bon now or then. Hope he's ditched the blond highlights and miami vice suits. Only joking, go for it.

lol @ lou and singing in the rain!
jeeze i was shocked when i found out simon le bon was 50!
made me feel really old

No miami vice suit but...I think I may have spotted a few blonde highlights

hello all.

just got home, going back out again to get dd form school.
I FINALLY got an email today. He was upbeat and just said his message was to say thanks for the wink. Nothing about me being gorgeous .

Told me he has holiday time for a week form now, and maybe we could meet up for a chat and a glass of wine.

ok, here's the shit part. He's about 1 and 1/2 hours away. Anyhow, i sent back a cheery, not heavy message, and complimented him on his look, his profile, so am hoping for some sort of reply to that.

xx

pc all sounding pos so far
but the distance might be a pita i guess
wg are you sure it's not paul scarf!

do you mean Paul Calf?!!

ok, just got another email back, he started it off with the word 'Sweet', as in cool.

my hackles rose. am I a snob? lol
He seems reallly 'cool man', or is he just being a bloke, because excuse me I have been on a high shelf a very long time.

Wow lou just a quick one to say congratulations!!

Really thrilled for you. Fingers, toes and everything else crossed for you

rofl

sweet?
hmm.lol not heard that one used before,well tbh i have,from a crusty old hippy
i'd only be seriously if he used other odd words iyswim

OK, evening all, have emailed the man from match - had to create new hotmail account as always a bit wary of handing out my 'real' one - now just have to remember the log in details!

Other than that nothing much to report - extremely ugly unattractive man asked to chat on PoF, managed to restrain myself from sending nasty reply and just ignored him.

And trying to not fall of the sitting on thumbs club and message idiot birdman. Anyone want to talk me out of it?

that should be fall off the sotc of course.

ok, so no compliments at ALL about my profile, or anything, not mentioned. Just that he is happpy to fit round whatever i feel like doing, timings etc re meeting up. Iasked if he has msn, but i doesn't. said there is similar on facebook.

gesh, i dunno. i am so so wary of making a fool of myself here.

kdk, don't message birdman !!!

sorry i am rubbish at all this!!

why are you worried about making a fool of yourself? It all seems to be fine! Just take it easy, maybe exchange a couple more emails and find out a bit more about him and if he sounds kosher try to arrange to meet up somewhere halfway and see how it goes ...

pc - avoid facebook and msn... just give him your number for goodness sake. when you meet someone in real life you give them your number usually on first time of meeting... here it is... couple of emails later.

and get down off the shelf... there's no need for him to be all gooey and compliment your profile. he's wanting to meet. that should be enough of a compliment.

and deffo give him your number. going to be really hard arranging the date if you do it by email. easier by text.. or even better a chat over the phone.

kdk - get back on those thumbs.

hows everyone else?

lou at l word.

i.. em... had a date with a NZ forces gentleman who i've been in contact with since halloween today. tapas.. yum yum. trying to figger out how to squeeze in another date with him before he leaves on sunday. was a real gent.... oh and the accent.....

i'm a complete sucker for an accent.

big ducks/ kiwi/big ducks/kiwi/big ducks/kiwi....... oh and the blooming gig..... i need more hours in the days.

kdk, clearly contacting birdman isn't a good thing so I'm with the 'kdk - back on your thumbs' club

OK so it isn't about men but - I was whining about becoming lonely on my own thread the other day SO when I bumped into some young mums I knew in town yesterday I arranged with them to meet. Next week I have ended up with a very busy week instead of a lonely one

Lou - please you got your 'L word'

'Sweet' is a common word used by myself and people I know (up to the age of say 35?) I dont think it's something you should worry about too much. If you get called 'Dude' then I would seriously raise an eyebrow!

Pirate, why do you worry about compliments on your profile/photos. Agree if he wants to meet that's enough of a compliment.

Re the terms of endearnments. Was chatting to a guy off pof a while ago and gave him my mobile no. He kept asking for SMS pics of me, guess he had been burnt in the past. I asked for one of him and he looked nothing like the profile pic. Then he kept calling me sexy and we hadn't even met. Needless to say I didn't bother meeting the saddo.

After my lovely night last week with Salesman I did find myself calling him darling when we spoke. Still hoping he wants to see me again but he's busy this weekend. Perhaps that's better than picking out curtains at this stage.

you are all fantastic advisors! How did i get so jaded! ( 5 yrs single will do it tho!)

will let you know. Yep, i think you are right juice, we have to meet, no larking about pissing about on the pc forever.
