Oh I suspose I better mark my place....... Blush

snapespeare · 23/10/2012 17:09

time!!! I've missed you! :)

smoothieooo · 23/10/2012 17:15

I'm marking my place too!

I just emailed a delicious selection of my 'fans' from Times Encounters to a friend... who apparently snorted tea out of her nose! One guy could actually get work as a David Cameron looky likey. And whoever said earlier that Match was Fugly City was right indeed!

Good luck Snape tonight. Come 8pm I would imagine there will be many of us thinking of you with fingers crossed Smile

ChooChooLaverne · 23/10/2012 17:20

I'm another lurker (am contemplating entering the world of OD but am not quite ready ) delurking to wish you luck snape.

MirandaWest · 23/10/2012 17:26

Hello new thread :)

So snape when are you and pm meeting?

MirandaWest · 23/10/2012 17:30

My position is that I have been going out for a few months with Mr Nice who is an IT Geek and great fun to be with and has now met my DC and my parents and not run away Grin.

Yogagirl17 · 23/10/2012 17:31

LOL at Willywantsbunny! But Madame I am Confused...?

Bantam - thanks for the link, love it!

Sponge - nowt wrong with the sofa if it's because there is no one good enough!

Parsley thats where I saw him. I remember now. Its also where I found Mr Nice and Normal. After my experience on both the Match sites I refer to the latter as "The Pearl among Swine"

Dominobasset · 23/10/2012 17:35

and yet another lurker (been following the creation of the wonderful, fantabulous, and in POF speak gorjus notebook) emerging to wish snape the very best of luck tonight. Everything crossed for you....

lubeybooby · 23/10/2012 17:37

Hello new thread!

My dating position:

In a long distance relationship since March/April ish with a bloke previously known as MrAmazing4thdate but now is BC (blokeychap) as christened by my best mate. A RL dating thing as opposed to OD.

Relationship could either end or become even more long distance depending on BC's choice of destination for work (Hong Kong or USA) and should finally find out in the next week or so. Relationship is mostly based on sex, dinner and cocktails with some cuddles and meaningful chats thrown in. Suits me perfectly.

I hang around the dating threads because 1) I started it having online dated on and off for donkeys years and 2) I have this feeling things with BC aren't forever, although we have lasted several months longer than I thought we would so far.

Blimey that was long!

lubeybooby · 23/10/2012 17:38

and oooh hello Time! Missed you here too. Good luck with the job type stuff

TimeForMeAndDD · 23/10/2012 17:40

Snape Smile I've missed you too!! Even though I have been absent I have been thinking of you. I've got everything crossed that PM sees sense this evening and falls into your bed arms.

FateLovesTheFearless · 23/10/2012 17:44

I am in a thing. That is my position. It's definitely a dating terminology Smile

TimeForMeAndDD · 23/10/2012 17:46

Hey Lubey! Smile Thank you! I've got quite a few applications in and am praying something comes of at least one of them.

TimeForMeAndDD · 23/10/2012 17:47

I'm fancying putting a profile up again, just as a bit of a diversion, but the thought of POF fills me with as much dread as the jobcentre website!

MsCellophane · 23/10/2012 17:57

Marking place for the notebook reveal- will be thinking of you tonight Snape

My position is half on the sofa, half off as I have chatted on and off to a poffer for last few months so am still speaking to him but it never goes anywhere, also chatting to someone from 2 years ago who was a disappearer but again, doubt it will go anywhere. Only log on to POF if I get a message but they have all been potatoes

Haven't seen the lovely hotbutdim since aug as we couldn't find matching free time, his holiday and my holiday but still in contact with him

I might have to go for another IE experiment as I need to have some dates, snogging and meaningless sex again Smile

watchoutforthatsnail · 23/10/2012 18:01

hello all

;)

time - hello my lovely :) hows the job hunt going?

Yogagirl17 · 23/10/2012 18:03

Time I know what you mean, can't decide which is worse, job interviews or first dates!

Madame - I still don't get it Hmm

StrictlyComeDancingDiva · 23/10/2012 18:03

Sorry, another lurker (ex online dater and now RL dating), who will be virtually handholding Snape later, the notebook is truly awesome Smile

Yogagirl17 · 23/10/2012 18:04

Hi Watch - well done to first day back at work!

OP posts:
MadameOvary · 23/10/2012 18:11

Yoga perhaps for the best! Will explain if you want, but it's crass and vulgar and instantly tells you what kind of pondlife person he is.

TimeForMeAndDD · 23/10/2012 18:14

Hey Watch Smile I'm exhausted, really, I am giving it my everything during waking hours then can't sleep at night due to over thinking! I'm driving myself mad!

Yoga I can't even get an interview Sad CV and everything has been professionally checked and given the thumbs up so I am thinking my age must be against me. BUT, I will not be defeated! Smile Lot's of applications submitted this past week so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I hear from at least one of them.

MadameOvary · 23/10/2012 18:15

Happy first day at work Watch!
Sponge have PMed you. Smile

TimeForMeAndDD · 23/10/2012 18:16

Ooh forgot to say, glad you had a good first day Watch, did the tights stay put? My Grandma used to tell me to wear a pair of knickers over the top of mine to keep them up Grin Thank God for lacy topped hold ups, that's all I can say.

lubeybooby · 23/10/2012 18:23

Watch congrats on still being standing after new job day today!

I have a large glass of wine and just realised that's a bad idea as i'm meant to be packing and generally getting organised for my trip tomorrow. I'm useless one i take a sip of wine. argh.
