Got to say, whenever I have had the whole fireworks thing, the guy has always turned out to be a twit. So I am quite happy to give the sparklers a shot instead of the rockets!

I think its really important to have standards, as long as they arent exceptionally high to the point only Eros himself would be in with a shot.

TimeForMeIsFree · 07/10/2011 14:34

Zany it's at least a year since I had him and he has the same profile pic so his hair may have grown a bit. Such a lovely face though, don't you agree? Those eyes.....! He was really good 'conversation' too. Awh, I hope he does meet with you. I would love to know if he is as good in real life as he is on paper! Grin

I'm not looking for fireworks. Just 'nice' will do me. Nice height, nice eyes, nice smile and personality. That's not too much to ask is it?

Zanywany · 07/10/2011 14:57

HIs emails have certainly been the most interesting to read and quite long, would be nice to know if he is as good at 'coversations' face to face. I'll keep you posted.

MsCellophane · 07/10/2011 15:18

Just signed on the POF to remove my photos as I prefer to concentrate on one at a time, and Geordie has removed his pics and hidden his profile too - that's a good sign isn't it?

Zanywany · 07/10/2011 15:23

Very good sign MsCello

Zanywany · 07/10/2011 15:31

For those of you on POF have a look at beachy_10 and let me know what you think. When I first read it I though hmm very picky but then realised he was saying almost the same things as alot of us on here.

stayfornoone · 07/10/2011 15:40

Ignoring the small I's and excepting second best, he seems alright zany. Good looking. I hate the one word emails etc so get where he is coming from.

Zanywany · 07/10/2011 15:45

I wasn't necessarily planning on contacting him well i might but alot of the thngs he wrote n his profile were very simular to conversations we have on here. I'm a bit bored at work so having a nosy at profiles.

I just had a message saying 'I'm looking for a nice girl' so I replied 'Sorry I'm not a nice girl but I am amazing' Grin

ChaoticAngelofSamhain · 07/10/2011 16:04

Afternoon :)

Zany have checked out ChocDemon. Verrrrrrrrrrrry nice Grin I don't usually go for bald men either.

I have a dog but never meet any good looking men on walks. They're all either old or the type to call women 'birds' Hmm so I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.

I went out last Saturday with a friend and the pubs/bars were either kids, men who were too old or short men Grin

I have a confession to make. I've been single for over 11 years now, yes, that's right I said 11, not a typo Grin When I finished my last relationship I was just so relieved that it had ended and so happy being single that I didn't even think about looking for another relationship. I concentrated on me and the kids, then when the kids got older and started senior school I concentrated on getting an education. It's only been in the last two years, on and off, that I've started considering another relationship and been using dating sites and in case you're wondering, yes, I have had sex but as you can see it was a long time.

ChaoticAngelofSamhain · 07/10/2011 16:16

Shouldn't that be "not really prepared to accept second best."

Spon't'aneous - he missed the t out.

Appearence should be appearance.

Themselves instead of themselfs.

"Looking for someone sporty, happy with themselfs and still a passion to try new things and enjoy life."

Not quite right grammatically.

The last line would be better if it had a ' or . after deleted/before try.

I'm so tempted to join POF and send him his profile back with corrections.

adamschic · 07/10/2011 16:52

Just checking in and wondering where Shiney went to Grin.

Must admit that most, not all, the men I have met via internet dating have been a bit dull and I'm not surprised they cannot get a date in RL as it were. It's something I try to dismiss because its hyprocritical when I go on them too and might say the same about me. But I cannot help these thoughts..........

lubeybooby · 07/10/2011 17:10

Have pm'ed you adamschic

Can I add to the complaints about crap attempts at contact, I just had one from a guy on Smooch
"Hi, how are you? glad its the weekend? lol, i never really know what to put here. Would you like to chat sometime?"
His profile pic is him sat in front of a bank of IT equipment.
Delete/Block/send rude reply?? Oh decisions decisions.
Do they really think they are going to get anywhere with that sort of pathetic chat?

ChaoticAngelofSamhain · 07/10/2011 18:17

I know where we're all going wrong. Just seen the advert for Match.com and obviously we should all be sat on station platforms waiting for men with guitars to come and serenade us Grin

TimeForMeIsFree · 07/10/2011 18:24

Zany I've had a look at beachy_10 and as going to say exactly the same as Chaotic my list of 'errors' was exactly the same as hers but I'm a bit of a pedant too Grin. Nice face and bod though!! Have you contacted him yet??

Chaotic 11 years single, wow, that is fab!! I'm happy being single too. I love it!! I want a man but I don't want a relationship. I just want a 'thing', with the same man, but I don't want to feel restricted. But, men my age want the works, they are finally ready to give marriage a go, because first time round they ballsed it up! Hmm Well, I may be old mature of age but I'm not ready for settling down yet.

PoppaRob · 07/10/2011 18:32

time, is there such a thing as an exclusive committed friend with benefits? If so put me down for one... leave the name blank and I'll fill it in if/when I find her.

TimeForMeIsFree · 07/10/2011 18:37

Grin I hope so PoppaRob. I hope there is a guy out there as happy as I am living alone, who doesn't want to park his slippers under my bed the minute we get back from our first date. I'm sure there must be

ChaoticAngelofSamhain · 07/10/2011 18:38

Time Glad I'm not the only pedant Grin

I am ready for a relationship, although it's a different me this time around. I've changed a lot since I split with my ex. I'm more independent now and have a lot more confidence too.

I've just gone and done what I once said I would never do and rejoined POF HmmGrin It asked me for my job title so I put Angel in and it accepted it Grin

Zanywany · 07/10/2011 18:50

No not contacted beachy_10 yet. I'm still in text/email contact with Mr Body loads and we are supposed to me meeting next weekend. Also hoping Mr House will mention a day to meet for coffee when he replies.

We're going worng Chaotic because we're not snuggled watching a dvd or out in the countryside as thats where all the men on dating sites seem to be {grin}

So has anyone got dates this weekend? Aren't you seeing Geordie on Sunday MsCello. Hairy are you seeing your guy?

ChaoticAngelofSamhain · 07/10/2011 18:57

Grin Zany

TimeForMeIsFree · 07/10/2011 19:01

Ha ha Chaotic I have just this second rejoined POF too!! Grin As for being a pedant, I am terrible!! The words just seem to jump out of a page at me, it's as if they are written in 3D! There is a sign in a field where I go for my walk 'Excercise is Prohibited' I am so tempted to take a marker pen and correct the spelling Grin

No dates here Zany. Who is this Mr Body you speak of? Have we seen a pic cos if we have I missed it!

wrigglytummy · 07/10/2011 19:06

Time I'm with you, any suggestions on advice/replies for IT man?

ChaoticAngelofSamhain · 07/10/2011 19:08

I'm so glad I'm sitting down. The first profile I've clicked on is literate ShockShockShock
