Poppa, 'reuse' naughty! I always find the ex flings who I've met up with again even though in two cases it was 20 years later still act exactly the same. Look to the past to see the future.

WRT my neighbour, I can see that being friendly does send out mixed signals to men. Will spell it out let him down gently.

adamschic · 02/10/2011 14:48

Time, forgot to say, I was talking to a guy of POF, had been messaging him a few times but never got to meet. I was messaging someone else getting bored at the lack of oomph so logged in at work and didn't answer him that time. It was when you could see when someone was last online. He sent me a really abusive message about how shallow I was and not genuine. Then blocked me so I couldn't reply. Lucky escape.

ChaoticAngelofSamhain · 02/10/2011 14:51

Oops, forgot to say...great news about your date Hairy :)

lubey glad you had a good time.

I went out with a friend last night, didn't meet anyone apart from some idiot at the taxi place who didn't appreciate my sense of humour but had a great time.

Had someone on OKCupid message me saying I had a nice smile. It's a no go he doesn't meet my criteria but it was good to hear.

TimeForMeIsFree · 02/10/2011 14:52

Just received this on Smooch "Hi, I?m a romantic at heart and you seem to have a smile that can light up a room and a twinkle in your eyes that can rival a star in the night sky, what keeps you that way? Mark" My reply - Mumsnet of course! Hmm Grin

PoppaRob · 02/10/2011 14:54

time... "Susan Boyles not that bad you know". Ya think? She's an order or magnitude less femine and sexy than Mrs Doubtfire! At least Camilla Parker-Bowles was a cutie when she was a teenager!

lubeybooby · 02/10/2011 14:56

Time, I'm glad to hear it Wink And yes me and the plant had a GREAT time :o

Time check out Simo74 on Smooch.

PoppaRob · 02/10/2011 14:57

adamschic, re the 'reuse'... we used each other equally, so no unfair advantage was taken of anyone.

TimeForMeIsFree · 02/10/2011 15:01

Chaotic I'm like that too. I breathe a huge sigh of relief when I've deleted my profile, like I've gone on some massive detox and suddenly feel cleansed. I could kick myself for not saving all the witty bits of profile though when I decide to give it another go, am sick of rewriting my profiles!! I need a profile folder.

adamschic Indeed, a very lucky escape! But don't you just hate it when they send you a rude message and then hit the block button? Have you googled his username to see if he pops up anywhere else? I would have to hunt the twat the gentleman down and have my say Grin I also hate it when guys expect you to reply to every single boring message then get abusive when you don't. I mean, we are busy women, popular, with lot's of messages to read. Obviously they are not, they sit there waiting, and waiting, and waiting..... Grin

TimeForMeIsFree · 02/10/2011 15:04

Oooh I say Chaotic Grin Eye Candy!! Are you in communication?? I've just seen his height though.... bothered much?

PoppaRob · 02/10/2011 15:05

time, I keep my profile in a word document with all the previous versions so I can just cut and paste when I want to resurrect the hidden profile.

TimeForMeIsFree · 02/10/2011 15:07

sexydude22 (smooch) has just given me permission to see his pictures. I mean, why? Why?

ChaoticAngelofSamhain · 02/10/2011 15:08

No, I'm not in communication with him Grin I received a message off him and had only opened that and looked at the photo when I posted for you to have a look at him. I wasn't entirely sure whether I should laugh or cry at the photo, it made me think action man, and not in a good way Hmm Since reading the profile it's a definite no.

TimeForMeIsFree · 02/10/2011 15:08

Very good idea PoppaRob I think I may pinch it. Along with the words of your lady friend from above Grin. Have you joined Smooch yet Poppa?

ChaoticAngelofSamhain · 02/10/2011 15:09

I've done that too PoppaRob but I got a bit fed up with the same thing all the time so I'm trying to think of something worded a bit different for my OKCupid profile.

lubeybooby · 02/10/2011 15:09

Oh god. I'm gonna have to sign up at smooch aren't I so I can join in this fresh hell fun. just kill me now it would be kinder after all

TimeForMeIsFree · 02/10/2011 15:11

Grin. Bless him, he looks like he is playing soldiers. Cute face though. No? Well, it is compared to what I'm getting Hmm Have you seen sexydude? Have you? That's what I'm attracting! Grin

Why do they hide their pics and then 'give permission' for you to see them? Like they are some special gift that only special people can see. I've stopped getting all excited now.

TimeForMeIsFree · 02/10/2011 15:13

Yeah, gooo on lubey Join up, and we can all play swapsies. Grin

PoppaRob · 02/10/2011 15:17

time, Smooch is a UK site so not much point really

Watching "Friends With Benefits". Good flick so far and somewhat relevant to this thread.

TimeForMeIsFree · 02/10/2011 15:18

Oh that's a shame, didn't realise, sorry.

I've got that film downloaded on my laptop. Might have to watch it.

Poppa did you accept that contact request from the lady we all liked?

PoppaRob · 02/10/2011 15:21

time, haven't accepted yet. I have spoons of course but I'm all out of lead.

TimeForMeIsFree · 02/10/2011 15:25

Poppa accept the request. She could be 'The One'. And at least you will be moving forwards, much better than reusing going back towards the recovering alcoholic social worker! You have nothing to lose and quite possibly nothing to gain but what the hell!

ChaoticAngelofSamhain · 02/10/2011 15:26

I tried Time but he hasn't made his pics available to me Grin

As for Simo74 I could see very little of his face, although what I could see looked okay. It's a definite no though.

Can someone check my profile on OKCupid? Is that possible? It's not finished yet but I want to see how it's coming across. My username on there is ElleS-Angel

TimeForMeIsFree · 02/10/2011 15:27

Me! Me! I will check! Back in a min Grin

TimeForMeIsFree · 02/10/2011 15:29

Damn it! It won't let me do a search now I've deleted. I can search the whole of Cupid but not by username Hmm
