But It's not fraught, it shouldn't be fraught, esp after 2 messages.
We all come across people we aren't on the same page as, happens in rl too. We can't get on and have the same views/ sense of humour as everyone else. Life would be boring if we were all the same

Well, I've learnt two valuable lessons.

  1. Never make a joke that has even the slightest hint of a negative connotation.

  2. Never assume that use of an exclamation mark will be interpreted as it is by you - I mean, you didn't even think it was worth putting in when you requoted me, and yet it entirely changes the way the conversation looks or would be interpreted by a third party.

I didn't think it was fraught until you decided to requote me dropping salient punctuation anyway!

TimeForMeAndDD · 16/05/2012 16:26

George a Grin is very useful when it comes to highlighting that what you say is meant as a joke. Just saying. Giving a tip.

I would never see use of an exclamation mark as highlighting a joke. Just saying again. My opinion.

Also, just a leetle bit curious as to how watch is responsible for you finding internet dating fraught. Is you and watch flirting with intention to date?? Grin

Snapespeare · 16/05/2012 16:32

well if we never make jokes wih the slightest hint of a negative connotation, then we all mooch around being far too serious, because we are second guessing what other people may or may not take offence to.

and yes a Grin or a Wink and Grin is good. stupid internet with it's lack of nuance.

i'd forgotten the use of the word 'mimsy' :) makes me smile.

I paid my £32. it's only for a month, don't worry time. i'll be back.

TimeForMeAndDD · 16/05/2012 16:39

Oh Snape, you are on the slippery slope, I fear you may be a lost cause. Paying real money, in hope of Jersey Royals rather than the commoner garden spud. I do hope your lesson is not a harsh one.

Chaotic,taghain ,i did like how he made me feel special and cant stop thinking about it but moving house and babies?????????

TimeForMeAndDD · 16/05/2012 16:42

I would rather buy a new frock for £32 than pay for a month on a dating site. I haven't really got the right attitude have I?

watchoutforthatsnail · 16/05/2012 16:49

Mimsy is a fab word. Ive vowed to use it as much as possible.

A :) or something is very much needed if you mean something In a lighthearted way.
Jokes are of course fine, but without knowing people you have to make sure it isn't interpreted as such. A !!!! Could also mean anger, or defiance or excitement.... All kinds of things.
But its possibly best to adhere to the rule of not making jokes about someones past, until you know them a little bit.
And you said I was confirming it was fraught...... Not fraught because of me???

Snape, yoy have trumped my 29.99 match subscription. Which has turned up no jersey royals at all. Just last years rotten potatoes

hatesponge · 16/05/2012 16:50

Time you and me both.

Snapespeare · 16/05/2012 16:51

frankly I'd rather spend it on booze and fags. :) I'm looking at it as a one-off investment. certainly won't be renewing it.

I'm weak! weaaaaaaaak!

Snapespeare · 16/05/2012 16:53

this is the times darling, a better class of potato.

its an experiment. interesting to see if the same cock pics rules apply.

MyLittleMiracles · 16/05/2012 16:54

Glad I am having a break from dating til next week. Or Saturday at the very earliest. Lol. But my profiles are still active.

ChaoticismyLife · 16/05/2012 17:01

Id be £2.50 on you getting sent some sleeze :)

Snapespeare · 16/05/2012 17:14

I'll need to make it 'pay per view' to recoup my.obvious losses... :)

MyLittleMiracles · 16/05/2012 17:19

Paid sites are no better really me thinks. I am far from cheap! I am very expensive. Just shame I haven't the money to spend so its cheap jeans and tops atm.

TimeForMeAndDD · 16/05/2012 17:19

That's ok Snape, one us will pay to view, copy the pic then send it round the rest, with said posh cock pic ending up in my special folder! Sorted!

Grin
Snapespeare · 16/05/2012 17:22

And the star... 'Get your cocks out for the girls' cock folder

ChaoticismyLife · 16/05/2012 17:31

Snape Grin

Time I haven't got anywhere to go where I could wear it. Last year was my graduation and I went in loads of shops/ordered from catalogues and tried on numerous dresses in an effort to find something suitable. Sod's law dictates that this year I've seen a few that would have been suitable Hmm

MyLittleMiracles · 16/05/2012 17:44

LOL you guys always make me laugh. When I need it as well. I feel like I need kissing for a change.

TimeForMeAndDD · 16/05/2012 18:03

Shock £16 a pop for posh cock!! I'd wanted it plated in gold for that!!

Chaotic Posh frock attracts posh cock. You should buy it!
