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.

Thank you Time [happy]

Well done time! Should we call you Lucy now? "The doctor is in!" :-)

Totally agree with time

oh and...

I just got some impromptu lovin' :o

Poppa I am just passing on some of the wisdom that age brings with it.

You are welcome Zany, you just relax and have a great time, you will gain something from the experience even if it isn't a boyfriend

Go lubey!

Where did you get that from Lubey?

I blame the weather entirely :o an old FWB from ages ago popped round. Not totally random because I had asked him to fix my old laptop, but I wasn't expecting him today, some time next week in fact. Anyway a cuppa and a chat turned into something quite different.

The geek in me has to ask... is the laptop working now?

My FWB has just been in touch too, saw him about a month or so ago but not SEEN him properly for about 6 months. Meeting him for a quick drink later but my DD will be with me. Sigh.....

Did you get round to fixing your laptop Lubey

at PoppaRob!! Never mind the laptop, if he has to come back to fix it lubey will get a repeat performance!! Why do I not have any 'handy' male friends!!!

Hahaaa... sod the laptop I'm too busy with my daft grin! Blimey, wasn't expecting that. Anyway he has taken it home with him so who knows. Yes, this does mean he has to bring it back at some point. What a shame

lubey, even with your snotty beak you still got some! Well done!

Zany, can I ask, is it just this particular guy we were discussing in pm that you feel a lack of confidence about or in general?

Papa Smurf - That bear did have attitude! I got him when I was 7 and as my bedroom was most definitely haunted, I used to put him on the end of my bed to scare away the ghost. Though he somehow crept back into bed before the morning where I chewed his teeth and claws until they fell off happy memories!

The laptop reminded me...I have a poorly desktop from a friend to fix. A female friend though, not a FWB. Never had one of those. Dont suppose I should now either!

I think I feel insecure anyway Stay but probably made worse because I have been getting on really well with the guy I pm'd you about and I fancy his picture like mad a bit.

Round 2 then Lubey when he returns it

The cold is mostly gone now thankfully. I feel grotty still but no longer have a rudolph-esque nose and artistic tissue model of Mont Blanc.

zany then time gives great advice, enjoy the date, dont put pressure on yourself. The glass of wine will be great when getting ready just to relax you a little and listen to some good happy music, works a treat for me when I need a bit of a boost!

papa smurf step away from the bear!

Oh christ... heyelp! Is anyone about to PM? Mr Friday related potential crisis.

I am :)

I'm about for the next half hour Lubey

Ok thanks... one sec....

stay, I just posted that pic to my FB and one of my friends commented "R.I.P. bear :-("

they obviously do not have faith in you being laid before christmas! Defriend them immediately, negative people drag you down :)

oi, you should be getting ready for your nuptials. Am I the only one that thinks nuptials sounds rude?! Go get planning!
