Agree Poppa. Important not to sound, well, angry!

PoppaRob · 30/09/2011 13:30

It was an old version... once again a result of bad experiences with a couple of meets. My current ones are briefer and to the point, so of course totally unsuccessful! :)

Zanywany · 30/09/2011 13:30

My boss just rang up and asked how things were going. I wasn't lying when I said I've been really busy, I just missed off the bit about being busy chatting about dating Grin

Just had a text from Mr Body whilst he is on his break at work. Its ridiculas how much I like him already, especially seen as he is a. too short b. lives an hour away c. doesn't think he want more kids (I do) and d. is hairy. Still don't know what to wear or even where to meet him. Sigh

TimeForMeIsFree · 30/09/2011 13:32

I agree with Zany Poppa I don't like the last paragraph either. Just saying Smile

I dread DD bringing someone like Woolworm home!

TimeForMeIsFree · 30/09/2011 13:34

When is your date Zany? I think, if you really like someone and click then you don't notice their height so much. If you do become involved with him you will know when it's time to move on because his height will start to really rile you, in fact, everything about him that you thought endearing will rile you Grin

HairyGrotter · 30/09/2011 13:36

Have you had a meet yet Zany? I really like the guy I'm seeing tonight, but have no idea if we'll have chemistry in RL

Zanywany · 30/09/2011 13:39

Meeting him tomorrow for the first time but have chatted online for huors and hours since we first contacted each other last week. Very true Time about knowing when its time to move on, I was with my ex for only a few months, thought we were so well suited at first because he was caring, wanted to chat about how I feel, how things were between us all the time which I loved at first but made me want to scream towards the end. Started to think that if I farted he would ask how it made me feel Grin

Lets hop Hairy that its as good in RL as it is online for us both

lubeybooby · 30/09/2011 13:41

Oh sod it. Everything that needs doing can wait til this weather buggers off. It's too hot and I don't want to go out - well not for boring work related stuff anyway. Out as in 'garden, ice cold beer and MN' is more like it :o

Am back Grin

You lot are making me want to rejoin POF just to look at these men you're talking about...stop it AngryWinkGrin ...sits on hands.

TimeForMeIsFree · 30/09/2011 13:45

You should have tried that Zany farting to see if he asked how you felt. It could have been valuable research in our plight to find the perfect man Grin

Mark today down as annual leave lubey tis too hot to be doing any manual work.

TimeForMeIsFree · 30/09/2011 13:47

Chaotic you don't have to join, you can still search by username or even just use the search facility without being registered. I'm thinking of rejoining too but really can't be bothered writing up a profile. Again.

lubeybooby · 30/09/2011 13:50

Absolutely, chaotic. It is. I didn't exactly have a heavy schedule anyway just needed to nip into town for stationery supplies and a word with my bank but it can wait. I am not traisping around sweating buckets just for that.

I don't think anyone can tempt me back to pof yet I will go back eventually when my masochistic streak returns

ChaoticAngelofSamhain · 30/09/2011 13:50

I don't....

/goes off to have a look/

btw excuse lack of/bad punctuation, shift keys aren't working so I'm limited in what I can use.

TimeForMeIsFree · 30/09/2011 13:54

It's boredom that drives me back to POF lubey it can be quite good for entertainment value before Xfactor comes on Grin

ChaoticAngelofSamhain · 30/09/2011 14:05

Now I know why I left POF. For the sake of my sanity Grin

lubeybooby · 30/09/2011 14:11

Oh I can't even bear it for entertainment at the moment time. I will go back though, always do after a few months. I'm happy with okcupid for now.

TimeForMeIsFree · 30/09/2011 14:15

Well, they do say you should only stick with one dating site for a period of one month at a time, then delete your profile and go back later, all fresh! That way you attract new faces. See, there is a system! Grin

ChaoticAngelofSamhain · 30/09/2011 14:20

That's true, I joined Smooch towards the beginning of the year then, although I didn't leave, I did pull my photo and deleted my profile information for a few months. Towards the end of last month I reposted my profile and photo and got quite a bit of interest. Unfortunately most of it was from text speak illiterates Hmm

Zanywany · 30/09/2011 14:23

Thats smooch for you Grin

TimeForMeIsFree · 30/09/2011 14:30

I've not tried Smooch. I did join Match on a free trial but only seemed to come across the same blokes who were on POF. There are some definite dating site regulars out there!

Zanywany · 30/09/2011 14:35

You'll probably see my ex on there, I think to date he is on POF, Match and OK Cupid. He describes himself (I managed to nosy before I think he blocked me) as loyal and faithfull, don't think his ex wife will think that seen as he cheated on her several times. He joined match about a week after we broke up and was on a date (I bumped into him on it) a day after saying how much he loved me and wanted another chance. Next....

Zanywany · 30/09/2011 14:38

Oh and he use to stalk me on here to find out what I was thinking so HI if your reading this. Now you know

TimeForMeIsFree · 30/09/2011 14:39

Oooh I say! There ought to be a register of cads so that other women are forewarned before they entertain such guys. or you should name and shame him on here.

This is off topic but I also think there should be a register of all men (and women) who have had police involvement due to domestic violence. Think it would save a lot of heartache. Claire's Law covers internet dating but that's too limited. Nuff said.

TimeForMeIsFree · 30/09/2011 14:40

Sad man! But there are so many of them about! Another reason why I'm happy with a bar of Whole Nut.

lubeybooby · 30/09/2011 14:43

I don't know if he is on any dating sites at the moment but if you google a d r i a n o c i c c e r i it comes up with a badoo profile, he says he wants a relationship then reveals himself to be a swinger - or did to me anyway after a few dates

and on pof, c h a s i n g_ v e n u s is the one I referred to in the other thread as McTwab
