notsure tut tut sleeping with someone on a first date hypocritical cow that I am glad you had a good time. I am worried that it would be far too easy for me to fall for someone. Avoid eyes at all cost.

Bloody hell Time! Shock

I just got the following msg on Facebook (is nowhere safe from nutters?!)

'Sorry to invade your privacy. Please i would like to know you more better and i will be glad if you give me the chance. All i ask for is just a chance of knowing you better for a serious relationship, i really would love to be a friend,we never can know what life bring to us if we dont give a chance'

Total potato of course. Had he looked like Bradley Cooper I might've replied :)

notsure I don't think you can block from your phone. My daughter can't on her phone anyway.

notsurewhyohwhy · 12/05/2012 23:15

how can you block on pof then?

freak of a guy

Sunshinedelacruz · 12/05/2012 23:19

On a Samsung you go to settings, call, auto reject and set who you want to reject. Not sure about iPhone but must have similar feature.
On pof block is down right side of profile I think. It's there somewhere although adverts get in its way.

TimeForMeAndDD · 12/05/2012 23:41

On POF the block button is within the message screen, in the inbox, it's at the bottom right of the message box.

notsurewhyohwhy · 13/05/2012 06:01

Ok great I'll have another look for it then!

Some seriously weird people around!! Confused

MyLittleMiracles · 13/05/2012 08:42

There are some very very disturbinly weird people out there. Buy fortunately I don't seem to have attracted too many. A few pester me for a date occasionally but that I can handle. I am a strong thing me.

watchoutforthatsnail · 13/05/2012 08:54

That there are!!!

Ive had a ton of messages this weekend.one from.someone, who in his picture is wearing a wedding ring. I asked him and he said it was an.old picture....block!!!

One who asked me out on the first message. When.I.said I'd like to chat first he.asked for a list of.topics.... Block!!!

A 65 year old..block!!!

Several under 25... Block!!!

One that messaged to find out what area in my town I lived in, then declared it.too far..block!!!

One 42 year old that spoke entirely in cliches..block!!!!!

Several my age who just seem obsessed with drinking. I don't get it, I mean, I like a drink as much as the next person. But I'm not on some weekly quest to ' get messy' Wtf is that any way, sounds bloody ridiclous... And I'm not going to have any thing in.common with a man that wants to ' get messy' once a week. I wasn't into clubbing when I.was 18, sure as hell I.wont be now. I don't know, makes me.feel like I'm.odd sometimes.

Match hasnt worked any miracles either.

Thing is, I did a few errands yesterday, saw about 5 attractive men in half an hour, so I do fancy men. Just noone of the ones online.

Short of walking around with my phone.number emblazoned across my boobs, I don't quite know what to do.

watchoutforthatsnail · 13/05/2012 09:02

This whole drinking thing bothers me. In real life, I dont know many people in the 30-40 age group that go clubbing. Or are out in town weekly. Maybe it happens for a birthday or something, but not regularly..
Most are parents, or have familes, might have a few glasses of wine in an evening, or a few people over every so often.
But going out with the sole intention to ' get.messy' weekly, when you are over 35, isn't that a bit sad?
I.don't know, I'm probably being Judgy, but I.couldn't date someone like that, It's.not me. I.like pubs, and unexpected nights out,and rum with friends, but It's not something that happens all the time......

TimeForMeAndDD · 13/05/2012 09:19

That might be a good idea actually Watch, we could get T shirts printed with "I am single and looking to date. Call me on ** " might be worth a try Grin

I always look at the drinking but of the profile. If its more than a 'socially' I don't bother with them. There are a few where its '>3 times a week', that's not for me. So I don't think you are being judgey, you just have standards. Smile

MyLittleMiracles · 13/05/2012 09:24

watch that bloke in the van yesterday I would have given my number pretty sure he would have given me his but real life is much harder. I see plenty I fancy, but only take note of those who might be interested in me. I get interest, the looks, men nod and wink and do check me out but never ask for my number, am I that scary, or maybe its that they think we are all so gorgeous that we already have boy friends? no I don't.

watchoutforthatsnail · 13/05/2012 09:31

It's just when all the pics are them in clubs. And that's all they talk about. Or ask about.
Like ive had 4 ask what I did bank hol weekend. They spent most of the time in bed, or waching DVDs and got pissed 3 nights in a row.
I had a errand/ housework/ dog walking day. Had a family birthday Bbq and then went to a seige of a castle thing.
And yes, while I had my dd that weekend. This weekend I didn't and have been sorting the garden out, errands/ housework, washing etc....
Not glam, but stuff that needs to be done, and totally normal stuff....????

Ive been drunk twice in the last month.. once on a date, once on the crap second date..

Perhaps its.me that's odd? But if I.compare myself to work.colleges, school gate mums and friends, I go out loads..

MyLittleMiracles · 13/05/2012 10:36

I couldn't go with someone who went drinking more than socially or occasionally, my ex was an alcohol dependent and it would worry me, I still don't like the smell of beer.

MyLittleMiracles · 13/05/2012 10:39

I don't drink very often and when I do its indoors (boring aren't i?) The last time I was drunk was 5 weeks ago, before that was last July but I was out clubbing that night for the first time ever in my 6 year marriage (yes yes I got married at 17 really do not need the "that was stupid" lecture. I KNOW THAT NOW!)

TimeForMeAndDD · 13/05/2012 11:03

I don't drink very often. I'm a light weight, one glass of wine and I'm anybody's for a packet of nuts! And for some reason a glass of wine makes my lips go all tingly and I want to snog. Drinking is dangerous!

MyLittleMiracles · 13/05/2012 11:15

Drinking is dangerous. 1 wkd whilst waiting for just friends, and I ended up kissing him, I mean honestly I am used to always being kissed. Listening to some kick arse music this morning. I am loving being single.

bucketbetty · 13/05/2012 11:16

Hi all, I know I'm probably being paranoid (again) but you guys are making me this way Grin Head Teacher asked me quite a few times where in my home town I live (I told him eventually), I didn't actually think too much about it until Watchout mentioned she would block someone asking above. Now I have visions of some weirdo hunting me down!!!! I live in a big city so likelihood quite small but he did stop contacting me after I mentioned my area? What are the risks?

TimeForMeAndDD · 13/05/2012 11:21

Betty I also block those who's first message is "Where abouts in do you live?" as if I'm going to divulge that kind of info to a bloke I've never even met! And if that is all they can think of to ask on a first message then the rest aren't going to be up to much. You've been talking to the Head Teacher for quite a while now so I wouldn't worry. Have you any plans to meet him?

TimeForMeAndDD · 13/05/2012 11:23

Hold me back girls! I'm finding it hard to resist this one www.pof.com/viewprofile.aspx?profile_id=34644084

watchoutforthatsnail · 13/05/2012 11:27

Bucket, I think It's fine to.give. rough area.
This guy asked on the second message, which is a bit weird.

Who knows why the head teacher vanished... It's a really common occurance.
