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.

add me, add me!!!

watch, I have just twigged who you are! :)

I am v of the great sex. I know it's shit he has now disappeared BUT look at it another way, better that one fab night, than several meh dates and some decidedly average sex...I think the policeman sounds nice, albeit more my type than yours Feel free to send him my way if Tuesday doesnt change your mind about him!

shiney agree with everyone, think he has to go. His words are at odds with lack of texts etc. That's not a good sign to me. Onwards & upwards!

adams sounds like you had a good night!

one of my friends is currently rewriting my POF profile as she says it is terrible and makes me sound like a judgmental snob As I am a judgmental snob I don't think it was that bad, but I'll see if changing it has any effect!

Puts her hands up to be added

Shiney Littlehouse makes loads of sense in what she says, I have always given excuses to guys who are like this but as she says at the end of the day think about how the on/off emotionally availableness (made up word) makes you feel.

Its so hard sometimes to write a profile that sounds like you, may get a friend to have a look too Sponge

Ohh and I have a date for next Saturday with Mr Body, he lives about an hour away which isn't good but he ha offered to come to me. ALready feel nervous as I really quite like him already after getton on so well via email/instant chats. Can't decide whether to wear an outfit that gets the legs out or gets the girls out

Girls, definitely girls zany and good luck :o

zany defo the girls - works every time for me

Zany, boobs are good but some of us are fans of nice legs! Is there a compromise position?

Legs. nothing worst than showing the girls off when you really really don't like someone. legs.

Got to share this with you guys although it is a bit bitchy of me. Someone has this as the opening sentances of his profile - suely it would make most women back away.

' I live on my own after a very painful split frommy long term partner. She got tired of family life and led a secret life online, pretending to be single which ended up wih her having affairs'

Ishooooos

Good point Madame

Ah yes madame that is a good point. I'm speaking for myself really as I don't have good legs. Not terribly bad but no showoffable either.

boobs. most definatley

sponge, let us have a look when you are done? you LOOK amazing btw, its madness you are single. MADNESS!!!

adamschick - i think you are. but cant be sure. Pm or poke me or something. Nice you attracted some attention, even if it was your sons friend. lol. my god!! lol

Stay - thats so nice. how exciting!

and yeah, the great sex was worth it. I had honestly begin to wonder if i was ever going to have fantastic sex again. It was really good. And i did fancy the pants off him. What is not good however is the bruise that is spanning the width of my back and is about 4 inches wide. attractive!
The policeman is lovely, i do know this ( those on my facebook, ive just added him as a friend). Bit posery. From essex. probably explains that. The only problem is i have a very definate type. Which, to be honest, in all my life has not been all that sucessful. Hot, but not sucessful relationship wise.

I have another date!! With someone who er... well, their profile is so good the thought of a date is making me want to run round and panic and lose three stone and panic some more and.... you get the idea. He isn't ridiculously good looking or anything but his pics make me go a bit funny in a tummy flip kind of way. OH GOD HELP ME

Right going for a hint of the girls and then my legs as I'm too tall so may as well make the most of it. Glad to get the important things in life out of the way

OMG - just checked Mr Body's profile and he is 4 inches shoter than me. Shit

He sounds like a player Shine

Am ridiculasley gutted as I was sure he was taller than me.

Oh my god and we're going to my fave restaurant. He is lovely. I'm going to cosmic order myself to be turned into a supermodel before Friday.

Still have that date Tuesday too! Oh gawd.

Zany, eek at 4 inches shorter!

No I've no had a date wit him yet.

I eveything else is good then I can obviously consider but I'm 5 ft 10 and all the partners in my relationship so far have either been the same height or shorter - was hoping to get a tall guy this time - maybe the muscly arms can make me forget bout the height

Did I mention the ecoplumber is 6 6?
