Dating thread 15! cock-cages, hopeful pensioners the occasional glorious success!

[Snapespeare]

apologies for title, I am bereft of ideas as the sodding times 'kindly' edited my profile for me.

you mean you're not flattered to be the subject of a mans masturbatory fantasies??

woman know your place :o

jeeze when will these cro magnon men catch on

Quite a few of those who've followed or contributed here are rather cynical about the benefits of full time commitment and just want a bit of fun...well thats my position anyway.

Totally agree but I can't see the Daily Fail admitting that there are women out there who don't need a man.

Wrt princess, hun it's different if you're in a relationship. In fact it's one of the things on my list where if, I'm dating someone, he calls me by that type of endearment and I don't cringe I'll know he's Mr Right for Me

I don't think they ever will Mercury.

There is no way I could sit across a table, having coffee with a man who had talked dirty to me before meeting. The teacher wanted to meet me but insisted on dirty talk, I told him how I felt but he still carried on. But still expected me to want to meet him. I just don't get men. It's like dealing with big kids half the time.

Chaotic there have been a few articles in the Daily Fail, written about independent women. The comments have brought lots of red arrows from men, who don't like the idea at all that women prefer to be single It's a fact, that women thrive after divorce, while men don't! ha ha ha

He text me this morning but the text was not mentioned! Think we are both going to pretend it never happened

we thrive and flourish...they wither and wilt!

...like parasites deprived of a host

So what's the etiquette in sending messages? If you like the look of someone, do you send them a message? I'm quite new to this

I'm going to bear that in mind when ex drops off DD!

Ooh! I pulled a slim one. Hold me back! www.pof.com/viewprofile.aspx?profile_id=40468751

I'm building up to hiding profile again. I've got knobber overload, it's making me feel ill and unclean. I can't take much more.

Deleted. I'm taking a break. I'm going to sit on the sofa next to chaotic and wait for Snape to come back from the dark side. Enough is enough!

Time he's quite the catch!

what gets me is the terrible photo..how can he not realise that to stand a chance of winning an fwb he needs to present himself in the best light possible.

Instead there's this 'here i am warts and all' approach???

Deleting your profile is quite freeing. I haven't missed mine (yet).

Having said that if door man isn't actually single (possible) or just plain not interested (likely) I may have to head back to POF...not a pleasant thought!

He probably thinks he is gods gift, a lot of them do, they really do! I can't take it any more. I can't. I'm going to detox over the bank holiday weekend, clear my mind of all those images and poxy messages and then start having eye contact with, and smiling at, real life men!! If it's meant to be, fate will send the perfect man for me in my direction.

I feel liberated!!!!

Sponge when do we find out if door man is single? Would you like me to send him a "My friend likes you..." message?

Time

I'm going to wait til say Friday then ask him about my quote - if I havent heard back from him about it by then...will perhaps try and shoehorn something into that conversation to work out if he's single :) he's meant to be doing some stuff to his own house next week & is not working, so may have to try and bring that up in the sense of 'oh, your gf must be pleased you've done it' that kind of thing. Subtle as a bloody brick me

Of course if he IS single, then I can't ask him for a drink or anything til he's done the work here. But it does mean I can try and be around a bit while he's here and try and catch his eye.

That's the plan anyhow :)

god I feel just thinking about it.

You could say something along the lines of "your wife is a very lucky woman, having someone so handy with tools" You can do it!! Remember, he is only a man!! Don't put him on a pedestal.

hahahaha

well I do have one of these and a big box of negligee type items so it might be worth a try....

Perfect!!

Hey, if you ever decide to write a new profile you could post a pic of yourself reclining on that. In your polo neck jumper of course

propositioning your handy man is a tricky one...he might think you're after some sort of sex for diy trade off?
I have in the past had a business where most of the customers were men but if any of them flirted I tended to ignore it or assume they were just after a discount/just being friendly.

There must be some sort of etiquette for pulling your builder/plumber/chippie??

Oh, i dont intend suggesting a drink until whatever further work he's going to do is finished and paid for! Given that when I have previously made any approaches to a man (and been rebuffed) they have then completed stopped speaking to me, I'd be foolish to do so until the works done, especially as his work is both good and fairly cheap.

Until then the plan is to find out if hes single or not and if he is, just to engage him in polite conversation. So he can see how bloody fabulous I am or not

Sponge he will think you are fab! But you have to believe that he will think you are fab.

And thats where the problem lies...cos whilst I think I'm fab, and I know quite a few people do too :) the men I like generally don't think I am.
