gads Time I'm not keen on all animals. I'm allergic to cats . Have a black lab that is a pita but love her to bits anyway.

TimeForMeIsFree · 26/10/2011 21:47

I think I must be allergic to fish because the one's sending me messages tonight are making me feel a little bit ill.

ballroomblitz · 26/10/2011 21:53

Hehe time what's he saying? That's why I deleted pof this week

TimeForMeIsFree · 26/10/2011 21:57

Gawd! Tonight I seem to be attracting those that can't spell and have never heard of punctuation. One long sentence...............!! Do you think nice, normal, intelligent men actually post on POF? I'm not expecting much, when I say intelligent I don't mean a rocket scientist or anything, just a bloke who knows the art of the written word would be great!!

I can understand why you deleted your profile Ballroom.

Zanywany · 26/10/2011 22:14

I try not to get too dismayed about messages on POF these days and have a laugh at them, I recon some of them will be normal.

Course your not a new girl Ballroom, you'll soon catch up

hatesponge · 26/10/2011 22:21

time thank you - I don't know why, but so called friends have said it to me for years, and the men I meet tend to bear it out. Have been thinking that my best only decent relationship came as a result of me making the first move, and with that in mind perhaps I should start messaging men on POF rather than waiting for them to come to me. So far haven't found one bloke in my area worth sending a message to!

prettypurpledaisy · 26/10/2011 22:23

Got third date from pof so i am all in favour of the site at the moment Grin, he is really attractive and good company so they are no all bad.

TimeForMeIsFree · 26/10/2011 22:43

That's great daisy I'm really pleased that things are going well for you Smile

It's only because I'm bored that POF is annoying me. I want something to get my teeth into and I'm not getting it. Unlike lubey! Grin

hatesponge · 26/10/2011 23:14

just had a message, profile has to be dodgy, either fake or he's a complete fantasist, esp the bit where he says his bank balance is 6 figures Hmm

quite tempted to message him back. Albeit treating it entirely with a pinch of salt!

TimeForMeIsFree · 26/10/2011 23:28

Message him back sponge and drop into conversation that you work for Inland Revenue, let's see if he replies Grin

hatesponge · 26/10/2011 23:35

oh fuck, he's just called me hun. I can't date him now however big his bank balance is Grin

Zanywany · 27/10/2011 09:45

I quite like hun

wrigglytummy · 27/10/2011 09:51

Isn't it funny what makes us instantly turned off.

I am getting excited about my 2nd date tomorrow, I feel like a teenager again. But I am being very strong with myself and trying to keep a lid on it and remember that he may be an axe murderer or just after a cheap shag - neither of which are on my menu.

watchoutforthatsnail · 27/10/2011 09:54

hun sets my teeth on edge.

and sponge - thats bollocks about being ' relationship material' who the fuck has decided what qualities make someone ' relationship material'. Im quite angry on your behalf. Dont for a second believe that. There are all kinds of people, look at them when you are out, some ugly as sin, but with someone who loves them, some who are huge, or old or poor or rich, or clever, or thick. If any of them can have somone, then so can you ( if you want someone) . Totally stupid thing to say.

Poppa - how was the date.

Daisy , glad its going well.

Time - i have already decided that two more dates and then the profile is being hidden until 2012. date one is on sat, and then im chatting to someone else, who should hopefully ask soon... and then im done for this year. Have you thought about any other sites if pof is bad at the momment?

Zanywany · 27/10/2011 10:00

Poppa spill

Where are you going for your date Wriggly

I'm tempted to hide on POF for a while too

NOt heard from Roller Skating date since Tuesday so I guess no second date on the horizon from him

Had a meal out with my 2 DC's last night and nearly wet myself laughing. They have helium balloons so my DC's took in some helium just before they came to clear out plates so they both kept saying thank you, it was a lovely meal in a high pitched squeeky voice. Don't know whose idea it was to take a couple home to sing to the dog

prettypurpledaisy · 27/10/2011 10:41

I hate hun and babe, went out with a young man many moons ago who called me babe for the three months we were together, always was suspicious he didn't know what my name was and when I met him in passing a few weeks ago and he got my name wrong :).
I am feeling very much like a teenager at the moment but know it won't last so decided to enjoy the feeling while it does. Getting expensive constantly buying new tops though. It is my own fault as I never buy anything except work clothes.

Zanywany · 27/10/2011 10:44

i know what you man about getting new clothes daisy. I am debating whether to buy loads of things a top from Boo hoo at the moment but I will have to pay extra to get it delivered tomorrow

prettypurpledaisy · 27/10/2011 10:49

I am off to Primark with dd in a while to find something cheap and cheerful later, I will buy cheap she will manage to spend a fortune :).

Can't keep it up though soon he will have to see me in the usual rubbish I wear can't keep up the facade that I always make an effort :)

Zanywany · 27/10/2011 10:52

I bought a lovely top from there the other day, I was very good though and didn't go near the boots Grin

wrigglytummy · 27/10/2011 10:54

Zany it is an outdoor picnic date, hopefully the weather will improve. The date comes with an option to flow into the evening, but I have been clear about my steel knickers Blush

Zanywany · 27/10/2011 11:03

An outdoor picnic sounds lovely. Grin at steel knickers

Snapespeare · 27/10/2011 11:23

hello all,

Not been about much - DSs are in rehearsals at the mo and it 's teh final week before the run, so I am ferrying children across London every night - however they're at their aunties house tonight, So I am going to the cast/crew dinner and as it's a very male orientated play there will be severly gorgeous actor-men to gawp at. :)

arranging a date with a 31 year old from GSM, happily chatting to another 30 year old on OKC and was 'seen' on POF by a casual aquaintance from 'real life' and we have sworn each other to secrecy. :)

TimeForMeIsFree · 27/10/2011 11:33

Morning everyone Smile

Hope the date goes well today PoppaRob Don't forget to update us!

watch I've tried Smooch but found that quite a strange site, OkCupid went very quiet so I hid my profile last week. I don't know of any other sites that you don't have to pay for. To be honest I don't feel in the mood for it right now, not sure if it's a bit of PMT or if I've got dickhead overload. I might just hide my profile and have a break from it until after Christmas. You never know, fate may step in and I might meet my perfect match in the meals for one aisle in Sainsburys!

Trouble is, this checking for messages is addictive!! I leave it alone for ages then log in thinking this will be it, there will be a perfect message from an almost perfect man. Yeah, right!

wriggly Your date does sound lovely, I hope the weather improves for you too Smile

daisy the expense of new outfits is another good reason for me to hide my profile, I just can't afford new clothes on top of Christmas especially when I have a wardrobe bursting with lovely clothes if I can get my backside into gear and get this extra stone off!! Trouble is, I'm enjoying treating myself with chocolate nice food! I just love my life at the moment....

Lulu is having a mad half hour, she is flying round the house like an exocet missile! Grin

Zanywany · 27/10/2011 11:35

Oh a dinner with lots of gorgeous actor's sounds good.

I used to think that if I saw someone I knew on a dating site it wouldn't be too bad as they may be embarrased too and so not say anything. I was wrong as a guy from one of our suppliers at work saw me and told everyone! I held my head up high though Grin

lubeybooby · 27/10/2011 11:37

Hi all, had a great night but busy busy so just placemarking. Poppa, details! :)
