:)

it's your foof talking yoga get it a ball-gag.

foofs are notoriously bad decision makers.....

oh and 4th date with pirate set for wed, he says he cant wait :)

this is quite exciting :)

also he has told a few people including his family that hes met ' this really nice girl' so, thats quite nice.
AND - my mother was saying to me last night about she had been talking about my new job to my step dad and they were saying how i might meet someone nice there... so i told her about pirate and she nearly fell off her chair. then when i told her his job... she was gobsmacked and then got very excited and told me to ' behave nicely and be yourself' as im sure i need dating advice...

Is the gym a hotspot for meeting men then? I've joined the local leisure centre gym but not had chance to go yet.

Your love lives all sound very busy and exciting! By the way, how DO you fill out the profiles? I'm staring at a blank screeen with absolutely no idea what to say about myself.

Pleeease ignore the ignoramus-ness of a newbie - What's a 'foof'? Ta everso! x

Oh and eiepie I have the same rules too! I went out with a man who fished once and don't wish to repeat the experience!

(hello red!

Your fanjo Ei

Cross posts!

I can't think of a worse place to be chatted up, When I go to the gym I'm hot and sewaty, red-faced and can hardly talk. I suppose then at least tehy've seen you at your worst and they're still interested!

when i'm 'hot, sweaty, red-faced and can hardly talk' i think i'm at my best! did 10 minute interval cycle next to PM yesterday, we huffed and puffed our way through it and when i crossed my finish-line i threw my arms up in the air and exclaimed 'yes!!!!!'

it was the best sex we've never had.

Any time I got the least attention in the gym, I'd give them one of those killer smiles - unfortunately.... it would be when I was a little de-hydrated in the mouth department.....and my lips would stick to my teeth!!! Ffs! A grimace was nearer the mark! Strangely enough, never pulled at the gym!

Haha Snape, wow that's a very sexy image, could be a scene from a film!

So go on, please somebody put me out of my misery and tell me how do I write this thing? It's like doing a personal statement for a job, there'll be tears before it's done!

I can pm you what I put on mine, no idea if it'll pull though...

red - tbh, it doesnt matter much. depending on the site, not many/ a few/ far less than you may think, actually read the profile.

Keep it light, write a bit about what you like doing, dont give too much away.
Its not set in stone, so you can tweak it at any point.

id avoid doing a long list of what you are looking for, or likes and dislikes and dont be negative :)

red agree with Watch, it doesn't seem to matter really - I'd just go for the first thing that comes into your head, keep it simple and light in tone. Not too much about what you do and don't want. TBH photo is more important, men are visual and probably 90% of the time dont even read your profile!

Really? That's a bit disappointing in a way. On match I had some pictures but I hadn't filled anything out, and I got lots of winks but no messages at all. I was hoping it was because I hadn't put anything.

really.

sad but true.

tbh profiles are a load of shit anyway - anyone can write any old stuff, you have no idea if its true or not ( and shock horror, people lie on the internet)

you can tell far more from swapping a few messages.

so, wouldnt worry about it to much, just pen a few sentances and jump right in.

red the winks on Match are probably cos guys are not paid members- iirc you can wink for free, but to message anyone you have to pay. When I was on there it used to drive me mad the no's of winks I used to get from the same guys, and never any message! I think it would be good if you could see who was a 'full' member and who wasnt then you'd know why!

This talk of profiles is bringing me out in a cold sweat. I am definitely not ready to return to sites anytime soon!

Yes I will stop being such a perfectionist (and be sure not to mention that particular personality trait!).

In the bit bit about what I want I've tried to say positives. Just about being open minded really and enjoying meeting people, That I would like someone kind and fun, that arrogance and cycnism are not for me. Now to tackle talking about myself..

LOL at getting my foof a ball-gag!!!

watch & snape - even worse than thinking with my foof am thinking with my heart. Bad, bad, bad in so many ways. Anyway I don't do one night stands (FWB yes, even friends who I've just shagged once...but not meet a guy, shag, never speak again - never done it and hope I never will). Can't afford Anne Summers. Been trying to distract myself with OKC but no real prospects and a bit fed up. And now I have a whole week looming with no children!! Have made a few plans - seeing a friend one night, going to the cinema another (by myself cause no one I know wants to see Looper)...but it's still going to be a long week.....help!

red - when talking about yourself, don't worry about writing about what kind of person you are, just write about a few things you like to do or some stuff you're interested in - superficial stuff that's easy to chat about if you do start to exchange a few messages.

yoga - thats even worse.

:(

it would be a really awful plan, and would no doubt leave you feeling far worse than any pleasure you may get at the time.
why does noone want to see looper, is apparently quite good.

I plug myself into my ipod and never make eye contact in the gym, flirting detracts from training intensity and most of em are chimps anyway.

It would be just too awkward to have a fling with someone who went to the same gym
