General internet dating support and chit chat thread

[lubeybooby]

Relationships seems the most appropriate place for this I think? Happy to ask for it to be moved if it's maybe better in _chat or something.

Anyway!

Chit chat your dating/internet dating claptrap here!

Also your hints and tips please for dating in the shark pit on the internet

I'll start.

I'm 31, single and rather fed up of it now. Have a few internet dating profiles, am trying to improve my social life and get out more, even looking out for possible additional temp jobs just to be.... 'out there' a bit more.

Even had a go at cosmic ordering which has been cropping up in dating related threads recently. Now I'm a very scientific and cynical kind of person but when it comes to my (currently appalling) love life I will try anything to give it a bit of a boost. Whether that be focusing the mind on the task in hand or strange unknown forces I care not.

Oooh! Got one as well. Reply that is! :o

Ahh I see!

I've done my cosmic ordering list. About 60 points, not too much to ask is it? Will print it out tomorrow and put it in a book. Does it need a ritual?

Then I might reactivate my profile and I am going out this weekend so fingers crossed. Oh something else I can think of to ask. For him to turn up soon at least before christmas.

what is this cosmic ordering?!

Lubey

May I answer? Or can I leave it to you?

its okay I googled it. Love the idea...off to work on my order

What OLD sites does everyone use?

eco plumber is in Spain so am awaiting his return before meeting. Grrh! Also my subscription to gsm has run out but I am getting mail from really hot men whom I cannot reply to!

Double grrh.

So cosmic ordering list. I write it down. then burn it. where does the drawing of hearts on self come in?

I only had six points on mine. Either I dont want a lot or I havent quite got the right idea. Still...be interesting to see what transpires!

I ordered a man and specified lots of points but forgot to say I didn't want a nutjob. Sadly the first one arrived damaged and strange so had to go back. The second one is promising but the list obviously needs to be more detailed!

It's very important not to leave things off. Have learned this through experience (gritted teeth) I fear my next list will be about 324 points long just to be on the safe side.

Am itching to give it a go, but don't think current DP would be happy. Would quite like to order him a replacement but vastly upgraded version of me at the same time

eek so it has to be really detailed as in bridget jones style...new man must not be a fuckwit, alcoholic, workaholic, pervert or megalomaniac etc ect? God knows what I am getting next month then

I could do a bit of perversion. As long as it doesnt contain feet.

What bugs you about date number 3 man? I am nosy have no life

Can I join in? I was the one who posted recently about Warty Man...anyhoo, I have another man lined up (haven't met yet so not sure about the warts)..so we are still in the non visual communication stage. Anyone got any tips as to how I can ensure I don't lower myself to the same gutter level standard from a few weeks ago?

I don't mind a bit of perversion either long as they don't need it to erm... get going. That one went on the list :o

Charlottesmum who was warty man? I've missed that one do tell...

and yes Shiney lets hear what's bugging you.

Last night's possible lovely man has revealed himself as something of a hipster. So that won't be going any further (you know the I hate any music soon as it's in the chart only likes obscure bands no ones heard of crap along with I'm much better/cooler than you type attitude) so yeah. Gorn he is.

Just drawn a mini heart on my hand but it looks like an upside down bum.

Lubey good for you, you don't want someone who ridicules your girl aloud collection.

lubey the music thing is a worry. I have got to 4th date with the Very Nice Man but he has a thing for Prog Rock. Is this a No? Or should I just allow some diversity?

Also he has 18 bicycles. That is a worry!

On the plus side he is attentive, kind and thinks I am fantastic

lmao @ us troupe of women with hearts on our hands and lists on our windowsills. Bonkers, but good I think :o

adamschic and littlehouse yes the music thing is off putting. It's the attitude that goes with it more than the music itself, so littlehouse I think I would let him off for that one. 18 bicycles?? is he a bit of a hoarder or does he do them up to sell or something attentive, kind and thinks you're fantastic sounds good though.

Ooh I don't know how to link to my thread about Warty Man but hopefully someone here can help. I'm afraid my wish list aka cosmic ordering might be unrealistic but I'll give it a go..:-)

It's ok I found it! Ewwwwwwwwwwww! And via your profile so I will add that you are gorgeous and deserve far more than icky wartiness!

Awwwww thanks Lubey xx
