No make up no bragging, no kissing, no shagging, no tumbling hair, be a maiden fair. And you definitely won't see him for dust! Dating thread 14

[ChaoticismyLife]

Chastity belts at the ready...

Extra strong padlocks required...

Watch, joining in with the cries of WANKBADGER!! agree with what time et al said. Hope you're ok, what a load of crap to put you through :(

Date five was just as off the scale amazing as date four, btw. Holy crap he is awesome. AWESOME. Fucking hell. I can barely walk through a combination of knees gone to jelly and er..... Bring on date six :o

Watch - the man is a self important twonk, well done on ignoring him. I hope tomorrow you feel all empowered

Notsure - sounds interesting

Lubey - so happy for you!! Looks like you have found a keeper

Dating - if you like him, go for it. Lack of job isn't the end of the world, just don't feel obliged to fork out for everything. The age difference is no biggie. The saying is you are only as old as the man you feel - so go feel him and be 9 years younger!

I've changed my POF to dating, mainly to have a rest from the barrage of fuckwits. Was pissed off with the constant texting onewithnoname and the way he behaved and felt a bit down with it all. Then I got a set of messages -

australian moose! very muscular, terrible typing but would like to meet.

Italian 1 (yes I have to number them!) lives 10 mins away and is very cute and 31, gave number and have exchanged a few texts

Italian 2 - 31, messaged me when I first went IE but he got lost in the crowd, possibly meeting after work on tues. Nice enough looking, not stunning but cute

Italian 3 - also 31, OMG gorgeous, gave number in about 2 messages. Exchange couple of texts then went quiet. Until about an hour ago and we chatted on the phone. Sexy voice, very posh, easy to chat too - possibly seeing him on Mon

And MrPolite is still being lovely and polite

So, the foreigners have given me something to smile about for the weekend

Glad your enjoying him lubey oh why can't I find me someone?

Something I saw on Facebook

It's hard to keep waiting for something you know won't happen, its even harder to stop waiting when its everything you want.

Grrr it is hard isn't it. Anyway the day just friends gets back is the Chelsea match so I am off to the pub to watch that unless its night time. So mind off him. And I will not be texting him first. A week, this week is busy anyway so the time will to fast.

Lubey glad all is going well.

MsCello, hopefully some potential among those men! and having something to smile about is always good.

My revised profile is a flop frankly. I've sent about messages/flirts and no reply. I've had no messages either apart from the dodgy ones earlier in the week.

Options now seem to be a paid site, or just accepting I'm never going to find anyone.

You need to learn to drive Sponge, buy a car and have your photo took stood next to it, while wearing your high neck jumper and your hair in a bun. Wonder if you should try glasses too just to finish the look? You should pull then, no problem!

Either that or get pictures of you sprawled over an aston Martin half naked, that should get some messages. I gave some guys my numbers and now have 2 frequently pestering me for a date...... Nice chaps but erm not right now 2/3 weeks time maybe. I don't seem to have a problem attracting the attention is just not the right ones.

Sponge, but you knew the Profile change wouldn't make a difference, didn't you? Or the pic change. It was rubbish advice from people who were either lucky with it, or just had no clue..

You could try a paid site, I joined match thur evenin, and if you read what a Fucking disaster that is!!!

Lubey, glad you had a good date.

I feel sad still. Did go for a little drive last night, I knew the area he would be in, and went past the train station. Figured if I saw him..... But I didn't. Still didn't reply. Know It's tge right thing.

Mr cum tribute text me. Has a new number.... Still filthy as ever, threw a ton of compliments my way. Still has a girlfriend. Obviously not going there.

Theres one I'm interested in, despite 3 weeks of messages, hasn't asked me out, so I can't see much happening there. And the only messages ive had on match, with suposabky better, more serious men, are ones telling me I'm ' fit' and asking if im single.
Ffs!!

Watch I know - I really didn't think it would make any difference. I would have been happy to be proved wrong, but in fact all it's done is make it worse, I cant attract anyone now!

Soulmates (I haven't paid any money yet and wont til I want to send a msg...seems unlikely) seems a dead loss. One view from someone old enough to be my dad. No messages.

I'm 40 in 5 days time. My life really wasn't meant to be like this :(

How's the party planning?

Don't be down, really, don't. You have a fab job, brilliant children, fab hair, you have lost a ton of weight, are Funny. Have a house!!! And do do things. That's a lot right there that lots of people would envy.
The only thing is you don't have a partner right now. That can all change at any time.

Maybe try that speed dating thing, that singles event near you looked fab.

Sponge what watch said. Plus you are getting 2 toilets fixed for sixty quid! Lot's of positives going on.

I don't have that much but what I do have I love and wouldn't trade it for a bloke. No way!

watch why don't you ask that bloke you are interested in if he is planning on asking you out any time soon. Or would that imply you want sex? I'm all confused with this dating lark now. Anyway, if he seems nice and you are getting along well, then ask him, nothing to lose and all that.

Yeah, I was thinking that. I'm going to ask him for next weekend.

Go for it!

Sponge, I've recently joined Soulmates. Thought it would be the best site for me. But like you, I haven't paid anything yet as I haven't found anyone I want to message. (Well, I found four who seemed quite nice and who I added as my 'favourites', but as not one of them has reciprocated, they're obviously not interested).

I'm really disappointed - I thought Soulmates would be much better than it is.

Right

Right now I am loving my single status. This girl is back and she don't need no man! I however am enjoying being a flirt. Bring on a single summer. It's gonna take someone seriously worth it to give this feeling up!! Life feels sooo good.

I wonder, what about joining forums rather than dating sites. Think of something we are really interested in, or even slightly interested in, and dive in! I recently had a problem with my Humax and joined a site to ask a question. I got chatting a a nice bloke on there, nothing major, just chit chat, and he was too far away and too old anyway, but it does show that we don't have to be specifically on dating sites to pull!

Time, a friend of mine met his wife on some kind of gaming site. It's not my kind of thing so I don't know much about it, or even what game it was, but over the months they started 'chatting', then eventually met up ... and they've now been married for two years and seem really happy.

Problem is, I can't think of a suitable forum to join! The only one I'm on regularly is Mumsnet, which I guess isn't the best for meeting a man...

Yeah, I have the same problem here Libby, unless I keep finding problems with my Humax...!

Have to admit I've just had to google Humax...

I'm house-hunting at the moment - very stressful - but made more bearable by the fact that one of the estate agents who's showing me houses is very good looking! Shame he's 20 years younger than me...

Also, totally off topic, and maybe I should post this somewhere else, but has anyone any ideas for cheap holidays in the UK? I haven't taken DS away since I split up with my ex nearly 2 years ago, and am feeling a bit guilty.

I was looking at caravans (Haven), as I thought that would be the cheapest, but it's going to cost over £300 for 3 nights!! I don't drive, which makes things tricky, so really needs to be near a station, and also near a beach for my DS.

Do any of you go on holidays with your DC and, if so, where?

I ventured into the men's department of NEXT yesterday. It was quite a nice experience and I did get smiled at. I'm thinking of taking up residence in there. Or maybe even ask them for a job!

I dont have any interests so thats out for me! I think I'll just have to get used to being single. Well I have been for the last 4 years almost, I have had plenty of practice...

its either that or jump on the man coming to do my doors

Party will be ok, I think. well it will be however it is, i am almost past caring at present. Have no help of course, and my supposed 'best' friends are on seriously thin ice with me as despite me giving days of my time for their parties, the best they can do is satuday afternoon . Plus my team at work who organised drinks for my birthday the day before my party. It didn't occur to them I might not be in, or want to get trashed the night before my party. and they are all invited though none have rsvpd. bunch of twats.

is no wonder im fed up really!

Well I have had a good afternoon, although been told my friend is never going out with me again cos I am a dirty flirt (huff) happy enough though they were just teasing though.

There was 2 today who caught my eye. One I got a nod and a wink from. The other who had (knees go weak) tattoos and muscles and was ummm Yummy couldn't keep his eyes off me......shame he was in a van and I was walking. Now him I would have dated this week.

I took the DC to Bamburgh in Northumberland last year (my mum and dad kindly paid) and this year we're going back again although to a different cottage (and I'm doing the paying this year :))

XH has just taken DC to his house for a week as I'm off to London to do work next week. Need to get myself a bit ready for that. However Mr Nice is comign round when I tell him with a takeaway :)

This will hopefully galvanise me into action a bit although being here right now is OK as I need to print out stuff to take with me for next week

Well my date with mr tall went really well he is really nice and very respectful, I'm not used to people that are that nice so it's a but strange! And actually feels odd.

We slept together shock horror on the first date, didn't even wait till the 5th

He is an amazing kisser, and has ALOT of stamina He gives the best cuddles and is very considerate. He is good looking but not amazingly so, but I am attracted to him! He is soooo tall!

I defiantly think I will see him again. I'm not sure if he is too nice for me, as he seems like he would very easily fall into a relationship and although I want a relationship I'm not sure how easy it would be for me to fall into one

Anyway we will see how it goes
