Ta-da! Think this is the first one I've started.

I am still feeling somewhat feisty. Told my team off at work for being too noisy Blush and was generally stroppy. Might have to go and start a row in AIBU or something!

So, dating, as you were etc Grin

Not forgetting of course that I have a second date at the weekend!

twinkle Ive found if you sit back and wait for them - you will only get blokes you dont find attractive. I now bite the bullet and message them. Ive been on and off POF for 4 years and Ive met some really nice blokes. Obviously not long term but Ive met some nice short term things. Welcome and keep us updated.

StellaBrillante · 13/04/2012 22:26

Well, I've deleted my profile on cheltenhamdating as it was turning out to be worse than POF. Some progress though: I've narrowed it down to 3 possibles to chat to, including one who is shorter than me (just) but looks really sexy so I simply couldn't ignore him. No, I haven't had any alcohol. Yes, I am feeling kind of desperate.
Some guy on OK Cupid added me to his favourites (or something to that effect) and look what he's got to say: "Looking to meet up with a lady who would enjoy having an oral fixated guy for her pleasure for an hour or two - or we could make an evening of it. If we have fun I would be happy to meet up again in the future to continue our sexual exploration :)" Is this for real??? I gasped and had to read it a couple of times for it to sink in. I think I am just too naive for this online dating stuff...! Blush (too much of prude)

lovesineffable · 13/04/2012 22:30

Hi Twinkle:)
Good point Seaside, if I ever put up another profile I should probably send out messages instead of wasting time trawling through all those messages received from totally unsuitable chaps!

lovesineffable · 13/04/2012 22:34

Stella, I'm always a bit wary of blokes who brag about their sexual skills or offer to provide hours and hours of oral sex, etc etc

Mostly they will come out with whatever gobshiite they think will persuade you to give them a go, by the time you've found out he's just another mr sexually inept it's too darn late...you've shaved your legs for nuthin Hmm

hatesponge · 13/04/2012 22:39

Rather unexpectedly I may have acquired a date for tomorrow night.

Shock

He is short though. I'll be 3 inches taller than him in the fabulous shoes. Might have to find him a step to stand on... Grin

It does get fun. Me and my "just friend" plan to meet up again soon. Starting to hope we end up in bed more than friends.

ChickenSkin · 13/04/2012 22:40

"Inbetween your legs lapping away at your wetness"

that is the single most disgusting thing I have read on a dating site.

StellaBrillante · 13/04/2012 22:54

hi love, but do women actually respond to this sort of thing??? Amazing...! (gross)

StellaBrillante · 13/04/2012 23:00

sponge - like your way of thinking outside the box (or outside the ladder. what???) Grin

my shorty (by a whole inch) has just sent me a pleasant message and guess what? No text language or spelling mistakes. Dear me, I am impressed! Must remind myself that, in principle, they are all serial murderers / perverts out there. I am just sooooo naive... you wouldn't think that I am 37!

Seasidegirly · 13/04/2012 23:43

Grin at chicken comment

MyLittleMiracle · 14/04/2012 09:46

I got a couple of dirty messages and he hasn't been messages back. I get ny fb link later that I need everyone to Luke for me, well its more for my friend.

ChickenSkin · 14/04/2012 10:32

Ok looks like I'm back in the running guys. Last night I half heartedly turned on POF and there were 3 messages waiting for me. We now have:

Mr Ghost Hunter - As the name suggests, he has some pretty alternative interests Grin he claims to be 6ft 5in which is just about tall enough for me Wink and he has tattoos (I like tattoos Grin ). He can write in full English too.

Mr Army Man - He's actually in the TAs but his profile pic has him in army dress which is rather sexy. He's straight to the point, sounds a bit rough around the edges, plays rugby and claims to be 6ft.

Mr Nurse - this guy is a bit of a favourite, mainly due to the profession he claims to be in - that's one major thing we'd have in common! He's 6ft 2 and seems nice to chat too.

So I shall update later if anything comes of these chappies lol

notsurewhyohwhy · 14/04/2012 11:48

Wow this thread moves so fast I can't keep up Grin

Well I have arranged date no 2 with mr location who is happy to come closer to my area as 'he knows I'll be worth it now that we have Met' but did also suggest that we could put out in his area and I could stay at his in the spare room and actually said 'no hanky panky or anything' and this is after I spent about an hour and a half with him on our first date Hmm

Also just started chatting to a new guy from Essex, good looking profile says he is looking for a relationship but he isn't that chatty and asked me if I'm hot Hmm does that seem like he wants a relationship or is he just a silly guy?

notsurewhyohwhy · 14/04/2012 11:51

Chicken - I like the sound of the army guy Wink

ChickenSkin · 14/04/2012 11:52

I'm going to eliminate Mr Army Man early I think. He's always away working in London every weekend - bit pointless really!

Still talking to Mr Nurse and Mr GhostHunter

ChickenSkin · 14/04/2012 11:52

Notsure, I liked the sounds of him too Grin I like a man to be a man Wink Trying to get conversation out of him though is like getting blood out of a stone!

notsurewhyohwhy · 14/04/2012 11:58

Oh I know what you mean, I hate it when you fancy them but the convo isn't great!!

Well the Essex guy has now started asking if i have a good figure! So i told him to look at pics, he then asked me to send some, but I said sorry I don't send pics to people I don't know then he said ok sorry! What's best your bum or boobs? BlushHmm

ChickenSkin · 14/04/2012 11:59

God notsure! do you reckon he realises what a 12 year old twat he sounds??

MyLittleMiracle · 14/04/2012 12:40

He does sound pretty immature. I would be tempted to reply with both look good but only the worthy get to see. Someone asked what other people think my best features are and I replied after my male friend stopped looking at ny boobs he said dark hair and my stunning blue eyes.

Play then at their own game.

notsurewhyohwhy · 14/04/2012 13:08

Chicken - I don't think he does, but I replied and asked of he just wants messages to get off on?? And he replied no sorry x

My little - I wish I would have seen that message before I replied but next time I will know Wink

MyLittleMiracle · 14/04/2012 13:49

Can someone just quickly put me straight. If a person texts some one of the opposite sex and adds an increasing numbers of kisses does this mean they like you? As in more than friends? Just checking. Doubt it though.

notsurewhyohwhy · 14/04/2012 13:55

My little - I would say try prob do like you more then as a friend! But I think you would have to take into consideration what else is being said in the texts and not just the kisses Wink

Is this the 'just friends guy' ?

first1 · 14/04/2012 14:46

Miracle - how many kisses?! I always send two kisses as standard to any friend (girl or guy) but 4/5 to my man.

ChickenSkin · 14/04/2012 15:07

Ah - text kiss etiquette Grin

Normal friends - one kiss
Good/close friends/potential lovers - two kisses
Someone I'm wanting a favour from - three kisses Grin

MyLittleMiracle · 14/04/2012 16:10

Try a whole row so between 12 and 15 kisses. Said earlier I needed a hug and he text back me too. That we should catch up again soon. Maybe I am hoping for it to be more, I don't know.
