Here's hoping on finding a decent guy/girl under the mistletoe who doesn't use hun or text speak. Dating thread No.7

[Zanywany]

Off you go

You know what to do

watch - have heard absolutely nothing :( Which is bad because, leaving aside the fact I do miss him, my current job is becoming intolerable, and I really want him to offer me a role with him! Now he's not here everyone else seems to think it open season to have a go at me - previously because he and I got on so well and agreed on so much we were a united front. Now it's just me. Boo :( At least it's Friday!

when is the date with 7am texter?! I'd quite like to go bowling on a date. However I am absurdly competitive so it probably wouldn't end well

Sponge If I were you I wouldn't sit back and wait, I would approach him about a job. You have nothing to lose, he can only say no, but it sounds as though you would have a lot to gain. Go for it! Be assertive!

Yes watch, when is your date? I love bowling too, I think that would be a good/fun date!

Welcome DressingGownQueen

sponge ;( work can suck sometimes, esp when people are like that. id send him a quick email and casually scope out the job situation.
Im a lot bit competative too, it will be fun :) i thought it was quite a good idea of his. Its not for two weeks, he only asked me yesterday and he was only free this evening. I am free this evening, but i dont think its good to be that free on a friday night, plus im skint, so we have said the next childfree weekend for both of us, which is two weeks today.

Sounds good watch This one might actually be a 'normal' one!

lol, i feel the odds are probably stacked againist that :)

Hmmm well I just got an arsey message from some guy because I didn't reply to his message which simply said "u luk hot". Charming.

Does anyone have any recommendations for good sites? I am just on okcupid at the moment.

Bowling date sounds good

Don't worry about the arsey messages DGQ you do actually become immune to them. You can either send an arsey message back before hitting the block button or simply block, depending on how you feel I quite enjoy sending a good arsey message which is much more cutting than the one sent to me!

I'm on Plenty Of Fish, some are on Guardian Soulmates, then there is Smooch if you fancy giving that a try, it depends whether you want to pay or not? Some are free but some are not.

I am in quite the mood to send an arsey message

I think I will give the free ones a try before I commit to paying for anything. I was a bit intimidated by Plenty of Fish, it just seemed so huge!

Yay to bowling. Naaaay to am texting. That's got to be the title of the next thread surely: "Here's to ditching the am texters dating thread number 53" (or whatever.)

I hope his bowling skills make up for it Watch

Right. I have to go and do my hair and put some slap on my face. Will update soon!

And hello Dressinggown (waves). Do make yourself comfy

I had a bit of a look at Guardian Soulmates yesterday after Make told us about her date and I must say I quite liked the look of the men in my area, although there was only 4 pages of them and they were mostly younger than me, they looked somewhat cleaner and tidier, more 'normal' than those on POF.

I'm still not ready to flash the cash for some potential pash though

I just had a peek at Guardian Soulmates too, there seems to be quite alot of people in my area. Most of the men seemed quite a bit older than me but that is okay.

Do any of you ever message people? Or just answer people who have got in touch with you?

Hope it works out cat, make and zany.

Thinking about hiding my profile. Haven't logged on so I am not active and I don't like wasting time meeting up with men who I don't fancy. Also I'm trying to cool down after realising that I have feelings for my FWB.

Not going to post on here anymore as anyone who knows me is on FB and any posts I make get ignored.

Really would have liked some help/advise with DD's 18th but......

Adams, don't be daft, you posts aren't ignored at all, there are lots of us on here, everyone can't reply to everyone all the Time........

Sorry you are feeling hurt about your fwb, not a good way to start the year :( don't go there again with him, its not worth it. Don't hide your profile either, you are an.attractive woman, you never know what's round the corner.......... Maybe try a different approach?

And what do you want to.do re your daughters 18? If its any help, I got a 3 day mini cruise to Spain for mine, with 1 friend. We had a fab time and I'll never forget it.

I got a text at 7:45 on a sat morning. I'm not impressed and have not replied. My instant reaction is to cancel the date and block and delete. However, in the interests of doing things differently, I remember talking to my fwb from the summer. He had been trying to date me for ages, I kept cancelling because of the constant texting. He told me after it was because he was keen and really interested me.and was ' going after me' . So, do I reply, but with.some wry comment about waking me up? Or just forget about it?

hello everyone! Been on internet sites for 2 months now.Went on my first date, a while back, and was stood up. That put me off a bit as I took quite a bit of persuading to go on the date. Does your confidence grow after getting the first date over with?(long time since I dated).

Hate that word 'hun'. Sounds even more silly coming from middle-aged men.

Good. Fucking. God.
I've been lurking on this thread forever but I had to post this.
Best ever online dating message - "Hi hun would you like to meet tonight. I can send you some clips of me masturbating if you like"
I see your cock pics, and I raise you......

Yuk!

Wow LovelyLizzie, he's a keeper! Honestly, some men don't half let the side down...

Holy crap lizzie

Hello all!
