I don't know why,, i feel like i have a flashing sign on my head or something.

Was flattered at first but now it is up to 4 within 3 weeks i am wondering what the hell is going on.

It has taken 4 years for anyone to even be remotly interested in me and now this aaaaarrrrrggghhhhh.

I have the same problem...

I wonder, without getting too weird about it, if it's because I don't really want a full-on relationship? Perhaps I give out signals that say "time wasters only". Not saying it's the same for you but are you sure you do want a real relationship right now?

Oh i'd love a relatoinship yes, so I don't think it's that.

Typically the one bloke that was interested and single, I wasn't interested in.

Aha! So you are attracting single blokes too...

Is it possible that you're attracting lots of men but that there are more attached ones in your immediate environs?

Without wishing to be rude, once you reach a certain age there don't seem to be as many available men out there!

Well 1 single bloke lol

I really have no clue how or why I am attracting these attached blokes, other than that maybe, I am a bit more confident and relaxed with them as I don't see them as a potential date.

All of them only wanted fun though anyway, the single one and the attached ones.

Oh well, it has taken 4 years to get to this point, so maybe in another 4, I might actually get a proper date with a single bloke lol.

snap me too its nice getting the attention by its from the wrong people the horrible thing about it is they know i know that they are married but it doesnt stop them, come on girls never say never

MrsMorgan · 26/04/2010 10:17

Oh yeah all of them knew that I knew they had gf's/wives and yet they seemed to act like it was not a problem.

The one bloke even insulted me on fb because I turned him down, and his wife is on my friends list so she could have seen it. Luckily I think I deleted before anyone saw it, and have now blocked and deleted him.

OMG some men are pigs they dont think about the consequences of their actions imagine that if only the wife had seen that good for you for deleting him. It just reminds me why my married friends never invite me to their houses anymore we do coffee else where, i never do anything to encourage them i do the opposite i ignore them probably they just like cold fish

Does make me smile when I see all the threads about how some women's poor husbands have been seduced by unscrupulous single woman when there are so many husbands/partners totally, totally looking for some fun on the side!

I have found that a lot of men who want no strings fun or casual relationships without commitment seem to be of the opinion that they will have more luck with single mums as, to paraphrase one idiot "single mums are happy to get whatever is offered to them, and are too busy to want commitment or call you everyday or get posessive".

I think, from experience, there are just a lot of men out there (and women) who want casual relationships, and if you are single and on the market you will meet these men as well as (hopefully) meeting men who want more serious relationships (if that is what you want too obviously).

Casual relationships (with single men) suited me very well when DS was little actually...

im at a stage in my life i wish i could find someone serious, i think being on my own has mad me realise that i deserve the best or some thing nearer to that perhaps im just being picky????? i was watching the new John Lewis advert if only life was that simple hey,
