My friend uses eharmony Tolly, but she hasn't had a huge amount of luck so far. She's been on a couple of REALLY duff dates from it. One guy even lied about his ethnic background (she only want's to date Caucasian men, limiting I know, but her choice I suppose) Plus It's really expensive to be join/ stay a member.

But hey, your experience could end up being totally different. Nothing ventured and all that..

I am meeting him tomorrow, after the BIG move! Do i wear my dress? And definetly heels! Hair down and straight make up re applied and place un packed all in 5 hours flat!!! Oh god i am pushing the boundaries arent i? But i am going to look fit, its the first time i will ahve worn a dress in ages, and i have a few blokes on the go.

This bloke i am DUE to meet tomorrow, has been talking to me since i joined the dating sites. So i have finally conceded, and going to date him, and yes he is fit, but also talking to an ad, as well, but not sure if that will be deja vu or no, but he is fit too, both go gym, both have fit 6 packs, and very very good looking, BUT HAVING SAID THAT, i am not, so dont see their interest in me.

Waves! Hello, can I join in please. Decided to actually do some serious dating as my 30's are fast approaching and my friends/family are concerned that I'm going to end up a spinster. As much as I don't want to admit to it I'm a bit afraid of being single forever too.

The guys I do meet always turn out to be twats. I used to have POF so I reactvated it. Met a lovely bloke last week but he is only in England for another week. Slightly gutted about that one.

Anyway wish me luck!

Milkandlotsofwineplease · 01/04/2012 19:45

Hi Misssss Yes of course you can join. I think there is many a soul here who can empathise with the guys turning out to be twats thing.

Oh, and you are a long way from being a spinster (I hate that word anyway, it should be bloody banned) You aren't even 30 for gawds sake. Tell your friends/family to politely do one! Smile

Yes go for the dress for your dates MLM I'm sure you will look lovely.

SerendipitousHarlot · 01/04/2012 19:54

MLM, you're going on a date on the same day that you move house?? Shock

MyLittleMiracle · 01/04/2012 19:56

Hey missss Course come join, Have you tried oasis or okcupid? Never met any one of OKC, before, but had a few good chats, met one of pof, and he was actually really nice and we are still in touch and going to meet soon as mates, and where i got tomorrows date from i dont know, he is on msn, so i must have given him that either from pof or okc at the time, but have been talking occasionally for ages!

MyLittleMiracle · 01/04/2012 20:09

Yes i am going on a date on the same day as i move house! But everything is already there furniture wise etc, its just everything else! So it wont be getting unpacked!

I know, madness but there we go thats me for you!

MyLittleMiracle · 01/04/2012 20:28

And anyway who is going to turn down a fit, hunky naked gym going bloke who is completely out of their league?

Misssss · 01/04/2012 20:51

Thank you for the lovely welcome! MLM good luck tomorrow. I do have an okc account - will reactivate it now. Not tired Oasis though so that can be my job for tonight.

Tollysfolly - I used eharmony about 18 months ago and I found it a bit useless really. I must just have an unmatchable personality! Good luck

ParsleyTheLioness · 01/04/2012 20:54

Have you decided against the white (comfortable) sandals MLM?

Milkandlotsofwineplease · 01/04/2012 20:59

The concept of having an unmatchable personality amuses me far more than it should Grin

Phoenixx · 01/04/2012 21:00

TollysFolly I have been on eHarmony for a month and it is a load of rubbish. It chooses your matches for you and all but one in the last month has been totally unsuitable I am not saying I am a stunner but these blokes were really unattractive. I had one message of a lovely bloke but he met someone before I got chance to meet him. Matchaffinity is a similar type of thing and it is much better you can actually search for your own matches and look at peoples pictures. I wouldn't waste your money with eHarmony.

ParsleyTheLioness · 01/04/2012 21:00

If I ever am brave enough to date again, which seems unlikely, i might be in the unmatchable category.

ParsleyTheLioness · 01/04/2012 21:02

I know I keep mentioning this from time to time, but speed dating does seem to take some of the pain out of the problem, at least in theory, but fear that no one probably does it for ladies who are old...

Milkandlotsofwineplease · 01/04/2012 21:03

Parsley I'm sure that would never happen. Plus, it's not that we are unmatchable. It's that the guys we meet are just never as good as usWink

MyLittleMiracle · 01/04/2012 21:08

I am wearing my white sandals with my little black dress....ooohhh and very minimal under wear, not that i plan on "that" happening! Just feel good with sexy undies on!

Definetly comfort, but cant wear trainers with a dress, but also have tights, maybe i should have bought hold ups?

ParsleyTheLioness · 01/04/2012 21:10

Yes, you can wear hold-ups, so long as you promise not to start a thread about it Grin

MyLittleMiracle · 01/04/2012 21:11

parsley you are not unmatchable! There are plenty of men out there who would love to get their filthy hands over you to date you. x

ParsleyTheLioness · 01/04/2012 21:12

Milk you are sure what would never happen ?

ParsleyTheLioness · 01/04/2012 21:14

I would like to think I would maybe sometime meet someone who would desire me for my brilliant mind care about more than just The Sex....

MyLittleMiracle · 01/04/2012 21:16

I wont start a thread on it, its hold ups then, with emm a balck dress, white impractical pray i dont drop anything on my toes sandals, hair down, eyeliner and make up on and plenty of sweet smelling perfume!

And i now have a possible date with ad on friday as well. Ah AD, he is SOOO fit, really nice looking and ah well the one that i still lust for is an Ad as well, but he was my first proper boyfriend.the one that got away.

Seem to be getting offers all the time now. WHY THOUGH? Two fit men in one week! Not sure seems a little well energetic for me, but should be fun, this girl will play the field some now!

MyLittleMiracle · 01/04/2012 21:18

You will parsley i hope so too and i do not do cheats! But if you arent with someone until we are MUTUALLY exclusive i am a free and single woman, and that talk is a long way off! Oh god it feels good to be single!

DENMAN03 · 01/04/2012 21:19

Hi all...hope you have all had a good weekend. Well I had a lovely date on Saturday night..Not sure I really fancy him though but he was such a gentleman, well dressed, intelligent and funny. He is really keen on me and said how gorgous I looked!! All great for the ego. I think I will see him again. Not sure if he will grow on me but if not I think we could become good friends (assuming he would want that). Wish I fancied him like I did Mr dickhead last week though and I did think that a bit at the end of the night which is probably really unfair and I feel a bit guilty about that. Why cant the ones I really fancy be nice as well!?!

ParsleyTheLioness · 01/04/2012 21:23

He might grow on you Denman. Milk, are you not up for emailing businessman guy? In your shoes, I probably would!

MyLittleMiracle · 01/04/2012 21:26

Because good looking men are arses normally. Yet always the same type go for......but you cant help drooling!
