old thread

The jawline is going though (blame paternal genes) sometimes muse on a teeny tiny lifting....

Oh Don. are you getting the dreaded jowls too? I find stretching your neck like a demented giraffe elegantly and adopting a slight smile sorts that out somewhat.

ok. need to do scary face expressions.. will give it a go!

lmao @ demented giraffe :o I do that!

Time... I dunno re: the chasing thing. I'm a sucker for romance and it kind of kills it off for me if I have to be the one making the effort. And all my previous relationships have started with effort from them.

However, in the case of Mr no-telly-last-night I will make an exeption because I'm genuinely interested in a friendship as well as the possibility of more....

Or, just get your cleavage out, that detracts attention from the face. Result!

UPDATE: I've dumped Mr Engineer - he sent me a barrage of texts until 1.30 this morning that were immature, needy and downright twattish. I replied saying don't contact me again (and he has text me 5 times since). I've ignored him.

No-one on the horizon now :( I don't like OKC they all look like freaks. Any other dating site recommendations? I don't mind paying!

Oh and I'm 44.

Oh what a pain charlottes :( Just keep ignoring him, in my experience twats like him eventually give up as long as you don't react.

As for other sites, err.. loveandfriends.com and smooch?

lubey am intrigued. Do you think it's only romantic for a man to do the 'chasing' then? I think a bloke would welcome a woman doing the pursuing, he might even find it romantic I wouldn't hesitate in sending a text if I was interested in him, does away with all the 'will he, won't he' stress too.

Plus, for the sake of this thread and our very indepth research we need to keep the momentum going so give him a ring!

I recommend Guardian Soulmates, honest. OKC is ok, but pretty low rent on the whole.

Well done Charlotte! having no one on the horizon is better than having a dud one in your life. standards

Smooch!! Get yourself registered, you will have no time to wallow for reading messages!

Hi cm5, how are you?

And Charlotte, just looked at your profile, you are gorgeous!!! You are definitely not to be wasted on dross. Set your standards high and don't settle for anything less than you deserve!

Yes time... basically. Especially with internet dating, I've been there too many times making the effort but I now realise that every single one of those times, they weren't that into me.

I don't let them do ALL the running... a good example is a date from July. It was good, I text him afterwards to suggest a second date, he agreed, I said 'excellent, look forward to it' firmly leaving the ball in his court. He never contacted me again and I was certainly not going to chase it up with him - if he really liked me he would have sorted the date the fuck out.

So yeah... I can handle offering a little bit of encouragement, and I'm happy making it clear that I'm interested....but in internet dating land, I'm never going on a chase again. No siree.

Yes, I can see what you mean in that instance. If you put in the effort and they don't make the next move then bin!

It's hard work this dating lark innit!

Ahhhhh, just ordered taxi so leaving in a minute.

Will update once I'm in

Wish me luck and thanks for your messages about tonight

Good good good good excellent luck to you zany!

Hi lubey thanks will look on smooch..and don will definitely look at GSM...time I love whole nut, especially if its been in the fridge and chris I'm having a bad day today :(

Off to see Friends with Benefits at the flix tonight with my 17 yr old dd lol.

Charlottes listen to my song LOUD and dance :o

99 problems man ah nah one ah dem....

Opps forgot the doodah

Well have a good night!

Good luck Zany I hope it all goes well for you. I will wait up so I know you are home safe

Sorry you are having a bad day Charlotte. Your evening sounds fab though. There might even be a nice single dad sat next to his DD so keep yer eyes peeled!

Ha Charlotte I read that as off to see my friend with benefits for a fix with 17 your old DD, thought blimey why take your DD. Report back on the film.

Sadly Lubey, in my vast experience, I find men generally do the chasing if they are interested and go quiet when they aren't into you.

Exactly adamschic, that why I stick to mild encouragement only, and not toooooo much of it...

Oh I can do mild encouragement too. The good thing about knowing they will get in touch if they are interested takes away all the anguish . You wait a couple of days then say NEXT!

Yep, It's good :o I just make sure they know I'm interested, then there's no excuse not to persue me if they are also interested. If it doesn't happen, fine... no problem... NEXT!
