The thread in which we all pray Johnny depp has signed up to POF - DATING THREAD 17!

[watchoutforthatsnail]

Here we go again....

sponge glad your having a good time. I never got to mediation cos my ex is a complete idiot didn't bother following it up after the initial appointment and is being considered as suitable for mediation. His loss now he will have to get a court order but had apparently been saying I wasnt allowing contact, offering a contact centre and being prepared to go to mediation is in my opinion allowing safe contact.
I have had an argument with my sister about her birthday. Great. Perfect.
Still someone texted me and I am going to bed a happy bunny.

Yay for Sponge - whatever you are up to!

I am going speed dating in an hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wish me luck i'm really nervous and haven't been before

will update you tomorrow when the results come through!

ooh good luck. nearest speed dating to me is 40 miles away so that's a no no for me :(

Good luck, hope it went okay.

OMG!!! that was huge fun!!! Got to wait ad see how many matches i'll have tomorrow now.

was it really! how many people were there? and are they a mix of ages?
do they email you to tell you ?

I just got sent a cock shot on POF. my first one lol.. I dont know what I'd done to deserve that.. weird

|I went to the 35-50 age group and tomorrow they are going to email me with my matches, if any.

Congratulations on receiving your first cock picture. I have a special file i store all mine on

do we actually have special files? Can i suggest that when we get really weird men that wont leave us alone, we send them a cock pic and block? That would be better than just blocking

Sponge - spill!!!

I have had a confusing weekend. Chatting to someone on POF since friday, 100's of messages, chit chat mainly, nothing rude. Just looked at inbox and it says he closed his account - ??

Some men I just don't understand, so weird

Well, if those guys get cock pictures, do you think they'll suspect they have been having wet dreams about a transvestite?

Well, I have sort of decided to dump Mr Tongue after some further text messages over my short break. It just reminds me too much of ex. I just can't expect him to change.

In the meantime, Mr Polite has been in touch but not today to set up a meeting.

Still, I've just got a date for tomorrow. Ahhh. We had a nice chat over msn and then he rang me to wish me good night. A nice male voice. Not sure what to call him yet, or if it will be worth getting a name for him yet.

Can I chat too? Can't sleep so thought I'd share. I have been reading your threads for a while.

I'm back on match after seeing a bloke I met on there for the past 6 months. I thought it was going really well. There was a 150 mile distance between us but we still managed to see each other reasonably regularly. I'd made the momentous decision to introduce hm to my daughter and family. Met his daughter and ex. All going swimmingly until he came to stay the other week and left his facebook account logged on - cue me seeing conversation of him chatting up some woman!! Go figure?? Then did some digging and found his POF account!

Back to the drawingboard!! (this sounds flip, I am laughing through my tears)

Marking my place cos I lost yuou all when you moved to new thread :(

Be back later when I have had an hour or two to catch up on posts do some housework and chores...

wirral,it's such a bummer that he trurned out to be an arse like that:(
But how dozy to leave his FB account logged in!!

What is it with men? Grrr. Why do they have to be with other people. Though someone did ask me if two other blokes were interested, cos I put a pic of ny tattoo on Facebook and asked what to do with it, result was they said to put their names in it instead of my ex's, I said only if you married me completely innocent (we live half way across the works from each other) but are good mates.

Ah Wirral, I'm sorry.

Sponge enquiring minds need to know!

Notsuchasmugmarried I've always thought speed dating sounds a right laugh. And sensible too, seeing as it apparently takes us about five minutes to work out whether there's any chance we might be interested in someone or not, so I guess it just cuts out all the unnecessary polite small talk!

I have a second date with handsome architect on the 8th. So a week on Sunday. Woo! He'd better kiss me properly this time... (ponders various strategys for getting him to make a move...)

How does one get a bloke to kiss them without actually kissing them first?

"How does one get a bloke to kiss them without actually kissing them first?"

you turn to him and coyly say "are you going to kiss me then?"

I had one match from speed-dating. there were 14 men there and i ticked 6 and had one match only problem is i can't remember which one he was!!!!

Not a bad result and a really fun night out if you go with a friend! I recommend it!

had one match only problem is i can't remember which one he was!!!!

Sounds like me.

wirral

I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever understand men. I met a guy in rl who was really keen to see me again - maybe too keen even - then he has cancelled what should have been our first date - twice. First time was work, second time ill - sounds like excuses to me so I will wait and see if he gets in touch. I think that if you don't seize it early on [no innuendo intended] then you lose the momentum.

I've signed up for all the free sites you ladies have mentioned, will update on any cock pics

Pleased it went well notsuchasmugmarried

Turns out I dont have anything to tell, sadly.

I'm not sure why I'm surprised. After 4 years my utter inability to meet even one person who wants to see me more than once is fairly predictable.

So I meet someone - while they're still with me they tell me how much they like me & that they REALLY want to see me again. They then text me the next day and say the same thing again, how they can't wait etc, will call me day after etc.

And predictably no call. And no reply to my text. And yet again that's that.

I wish I knew where I went wrong :(

hatesponge that is me. They seem so interested, then it goes.
And I have no idea what happens inbetween.

I sometimes wonder if people without kids can just go, ok let's meet tomorrow, whereas we can't, and maybe that gives off the wrong signals? (This is more favourable than thinking there's something wrong with me...)

Hatesponge,

Do they text anything else other than how they want to see you?

If something is happening, maybe you both would have a subject to talk about on the texts?
Or set a new date immediately?

Otherwise, it's just intentions.

The date today got delayed until tomorrow (my fault actually, because he would be late for today and I have to get back at decent hours for DS) and Mr Polite is delaying till next week.
Maybe I'll get on the same rut...
At least Mr Polite seems distant. Either too busy at work or something else???
So, not keeping my hopes up, but he is 10 years older and I suspect he likes Techno. Big no no.

No, it's nothing to do with that - not in my case anyway. I can make myself available at short notice. And all the men I date have children anyway.

Why say all that stuff if you have no intention of seeing someone again? Why say it when you're with them and then text the same sort of thing the next day? As a friend said to me the other day, even if I was the meanest person in the world I wouldn't deserve half of the nasty stuff men do to me.

Lueji I got 6 texts on Sunday basically saying how much he liked me, wanted to see me again & how much he was looking forward to doing so. He was coming off a 12 hr shift so last msg said he was off home to sleep but would be in touch tomorrow (ie monday) to arrange it.

And nothing.

I don't think it's nasty. I don't get it. But I think they mean it when they say it. Maybe men are more visual than women and when we're out of sight we begin to go out of mind?

I don't know. Maybe I just have too much faith in what people say.

I do know that one guy I met would have been up for meeting if he knew he would get laid, but I am very shy wrt to sex so I was trying to make it clear - without being blunt - that I was looking for a bit of romancing. He soon buggered off.

So sometimes - with me, not to say it is the same with you sponge, I think it is that I back off a bit. But other times it's them - although I do believe they genuinely liked me at first. Text is a very hard way to communicate feeling though, easy to come across too passionate or too aloof.

Maybe we should try voicecalls between dates?
