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

Go meet him! The point of a dating site is to get a date.

Oooohhhh. Back from park with dog. Had been hunting for this bee nest that my stepdad spotted this morning. Going down the hill and I spot a park rangers. Who clearly was checking me out. Grins in both directions, said hi. Carried on. He looks like a 35 year old version on the dreaded one in glee. With more stubble. Couldn't find the nest .he was hanging around the courtyard, so I weny over and asked him about it. And now I know all about bees :)

MyLittleMiracles · 20/05/2012 19:33

Watch, you go girl! I am going out tomorrow just in an attempt to get checked out and feel better.

Hi everyone, hope the weekend has went well!!

Just to update on my side, mr tall had annoyed me, he just seems too needy and forward, and when I spoke to him about this he backed off but also told me he just won't say certain things even of he wants to, which made me feel like he is going for the sympathy vote!

Also when we had our date the bar we went to toon a photo of us and put it on their Facebook page! And yesterday he told me he looked at it and he looked weird!

Anyway his photos on Pof look very different to how he looks in real life, I am wondering if they have been photo shopped and while being very hungover thought its not even him Hmm as in the picture he had with me he looks much darker and bigger!

Anyway I think I'm going to tell him I'm not interested now!

MyLittleMiracles · 20/05/2012 20:14

Update: just been asked out tomorrow. Well actually sexy do you wanna meet up tomorrow. Like err yes. Fit muscular and tattooed. He seems a bit of a bad boy and yesterday's date wants to take me out too......

Snapespeare · 20/05/2012 20:55

Having resurrected my okc momentarily to stalk came home to three messages. First one is bisexual. And 19(!) 2nd one is italian, devout catholic, low match, broken english (something about my 'end' that is incomprehensible..) and a 54 year old with a face like a bag of spanners who asked if i was in camdem on friday. I was. This is too worrying to contemplate, its like having a stalker i've never seen or had any contact with before... Yuk.

Feel rather low & lonely today. Contemplating being single for ever now. :(.

The thought of being single forever fills me with joy. Maybe I need therapy.

Snapespeare · 20/05/2012 21:02

Well granted, i never want to live with anyone again,,,

Just got another message 'hi, i'm gaz. What are you looking for?'. Not you sunshine, youre wearing 'hilarious' christmas reindeer horns in your pic.

:(

TimeForMeAndDD · 20/05/2012 21:14

Grin Sorry Snape but that did make me laugh.

I'm sorry you are having a low day. I think being on dating sites, faced with lots of unsuitables, makes things worse, it does! It's very frustrating clicking on one potato after another.

watchoutforthatsnail · 20/05/2012 21:15

:( Snape.
We all get wobbles. It is shit sometimes, esp when there seems to be no options. And you are making an effort. But not getting anywhere.
But. Everything can change at any time. Noone knows the future, or what might happen tomorrow.

Snapespeare · 20/05/2012 21:17

:) i can (just!) still see the humour in it, i'm just feeling a bit meh i think, stupid high standards! :)

TimeForMeAndDD · 20/05/2012 21:19

Exactly that Watch! Tis exciting! Tomorrow is like a present yet to be opened, you don't know what you are going to get.

TimeForMeAndDD · 20/05/2012 21:20

Well, if you lowered your standards, could you really enjoy sitting across from someone wearing reindeer horns?? Mmm? Really?

Grin
watchoutforthatsnail · 20/05/2012 21:24

And you should enjoy What you do have..
Friends best Friends husband died unexpectedly yesterday. 2 young children and wife devestated..

:(

TimeForMeAndDD · 20/05/2012 21:27

Sad That's so sad Watch. I appreciate what I have, I don't have a lot but I love what I have.

I wouldn't say no to some extra large posh cock bedroom action though. Seriously.

hatesponge · 20/05/2012 21:37

Grin at reindeer horns.

I have those wobbles quite often all of the time. This weekend has brought it home to me that I am quite alone, I miss the feeling of having/knowing I have someone who is always on my side.

I meant to add an update re door man earlier. He text me on Saturday to say could he put it off til next week as he was knackered from the house move on Fri. There was one thing I really wanted him to do for last night which was put a handle/lock on loo door - so asked if he could possibly do that, to which he said fine and came round straight away. I asked him to pop back for a drink later if he had time, but he said he prob couldnt as was taking his DC to a party (I hadnt even realised he had children...I now think hes probably not single. Meh. He is ever so lovely though).

hatesponge · 20/05/2012 21:37

Oh watch thats so sad :(

Please forgive my flippant Xpost.

watchoutforthatsnail · 20/05/2012 22:13

Its fine :)

Just a reminder that you never know what's around the corner, and how the small things really don't matter.

I don't think we would be Normal if we didn't sometimes feel That way....

Could door man be single and have his children on the weekend?

hatesponge · 20/05/2012 22:24

it's possible, but I doubt it, he's too attractive and lovely to be single (his wife/gf is very lucky!) He's coming back on Friday so I'll see if I can find out anything more then :) He's great though - in fixing the overflow/flush thing on my loo he also fitted the back panel properly in place (concealed cistern, Ex put it up long ago but never fixed the panels), and sealed round the base of the loo (another job that never got done!) He even apologised for not having hoovered up :)

MyLittleMiracles · 20/05/2012 22:42

Oh watch that is so very very sad. My heart goes out to them.

ChaoticismyLife · 20/05/2012 22:53

watch that is sad Sad

ChaoticismyLife · 20/05/2012 22:58

I've just got an email from a dating site that I signed up for a month or two ago and keep forgetting about. It reads 'hi chat soon luv' xx and is from hunkyant. I haven't even looked at his profile yet and I'm Hmm no...

Actuallyshocked · 20/05/2012 23:28

Watch that's really sad :(

Sponge sorry your party didn't work out as planned but those cakes were sweet :) AND don't give up on door man yet! You never know!

Snape it's probably just one of those days, sure everything will look brighter (and bring fitter men) tomorrow

Well update on my dates - went on both - no mention of cold sore so don't know whether they noticed or not, kiss on cheek from both at the end so who knows? Glad I went though, thanks for persuading me not to cancel!! First guy wasn't really for me although a nice fella, second one I do like - let's see what happens, have been in touch but not convinced a second date will happen. as much as I'd like it to!

Ithinkineedtogrowapair · 20/05/2012 23:44

Hello may I join? Split up a few months ago and just got my mojo back. In fact I fancy all kinds of people at the moment not sure what's going on!!!

Currently waiting for a hippy type to get back from holiday on Tuesday and see if he contacts me for a meet up (we 'met' a few weeks ago) and trying ahem not to obsess (much) about a nice young student currently in my house (disclaimer - uni student I am a mere 9 years older)
