Just out of boredom.... Reset my password on my hidden honey trap ok profile....and find I hadn't actually hidden it....and I have 241 messages to wade through.

I expect one normal person is far too much to ask, yes?

Yogagirl17 · 03/11/2012 15:34

LOL @241 Snape!

So would it be too much to say 'If you can't compose a sentence that consists of more than "hey sexy lady" or "how's u" please don't bother'?

Yogagirl17 · 03/11/2012 15:39

Hmm, have been favourited by a guy with 'good personal hygiene and nicely fragranced' - you can't fucking make this stuff up! He looks too good to be true anyway - gorgeous, single, wealthy, honest, "refreshingly decent genuine nice guy" and he does the ironing...nah, not buying it.

snapespeare · 03/11/2012 15:59

Ok, I've deleted everyone in their sixties, too far away, creepy and/or lacking in grammar. And I'm left with ONE. I gave him 5 stars ages ago and he gave me stars too, so I replied to his message. he says he is 5ft 11. He won't be.

But that's better than the message that popped up just now from a chap whose profile starts,...

....'I am a bubble person and i live life for me and my children because my children our my world'

DoingItForMyself · 03/11/2012 16:37

I put a note on my profile saying "no text-speak, if you can't be arsed to string a proper sentence together it doesn't bode well for the level of effort you'll put into anything else" - it landed me a thoughtful, very attentive and intelligent bloke. Definitely worth specifying IME!

OhWesternWind · 03/11/2012 16:44

Western's going on a date tomorrow, date tomorrow, date tomorrow ... Well babysitter permitting I am. No rampant sex though as he's got his mum staying at his and I've never asked him in at mine - maybe tomorrow is the night to suggest a coffee? Not sure as children will be in, though hopefully asleep! Also, it is truly a building site, half-finished kitchen, in process of ripping bathroom out (still got loo), rewire in progress and no carpets, plus large amounts of new bathroom suite and power tools clogging up my bedroom - not much point in tidying round then Grin. I'm tempted though, two weeks' drought so I may go for it. Get me, I went literally years without whilst I was with evil ex and for a good while after we split up, so it's really good Im feeling this way.

Getting all excited which seems a bit silly but I am!! Need to have a talk to him about all this stuff that's been going on - maybe!

watchoutforthatsnail · 03/11/2012 16:47

ha snape, i think thats what mine was about too. but 241 to 1 isnt good odds is it? its crazy, really is.

yoga, yep, lazy way to do stuff, ive never even looked at any of it.

just got off phone to friend whos been in a relationship for a year, hes a dickhead. she knows this, but doesnt want to be on her own. She cant work out why i dumped the pirate.... you know what, im pleased i did, and have enough confidence ( even if ive had a few wobbles after) to know he wasnt right for me, and didnt just go along with things so i wasnt on my own. small victories and all that.

Yogagirl17 · 03/11/2012 17:03

Urgh, well having deleted a dozen "How's u?", one guy who was 5'2", one who was 6'4", one who said "if i've taken the time to send you a nice message please could you reply" (deleted without replying, just out of spite), and a couple who were just fugly, I've got 2 who might be worth replying to so far (but the night is young, mwah ha ha ha).

Yay Western

Snape - speechless!

Yogagirl17 · 03/11/2012 17:05

ooh, make that 3..

OhWesternWind · 03/11/2012 17:13

You're on a roll Yoga!!

Watch I agree with you 100% and think youre brilliant for having the courage to follow your instincts and not giving in to all the pressure that's around us to couple up when you knew it wasn't right. It will be, though, and some time soon.

Yogagirl17 · 03/11/2012 17:13

Nope, make that 2. One of the guys who messaged me at 5:59, messaged me again (while I was typing a reply to him!) at 6:11 to say, 'Oh well, I guess not then'. Really? After 12 minutes? BLOCK!

Yogagirl17 · 03/11/2012 17:22

Make that 4:59 and 5:11 obviously

snapespeare · 03/11/2012 17:27

Ahw! nice message from comedy writer....'Please. Just please. Please let's do it. Please meet me. I'll eat my elbows with joy. Please let it happen. Er, etc.'

Good grief. A man made me smile.

snapespeare · 03/11/2012 17:36

UNBELIEVABLE!

I responded, he fired back a message, 'could I possibly help you shave?'

From a smile to a grrrrrrr in a nano-second.

Sad
watchoutforthatsnail · 03/11/2012 17:38

cheers western.
hopefully it will all come good at some point. You sound very excited about yoru date :) hope his problem is all sorted out and you have a fab time.

snape - are you going to make his year?

watchoutforthatsnail · 03/11/2012 17:39

snape - FFS.
dickwad.

snapespeare · 03/11/2012 17:40

Actually, he's managed a save.

Not my type probably, but the attention is nice, given voldemort no-other-fucker seems to care if I am still breathing

Will not rebound onto anyone's cock. Having a nice rest. :)

Pixiebelle123 · 03/11/2012 17:41

Watch, well done for trusting your gut with pirate. You know you did the right thing and hopefully the next date will be an utter sex god.

Sponge, so pleased things are working out with Cuthbert.

Yoga, you seem to be doing rather well!

I'm getting ready my date with history teacher and don't know what to wear - skirt or jeans?

Yogagirl17 · 03/11/2012 17:49

Snape - how on earth did he manage a come-back from wanting to help you shave?!

Pixie - have fun! Smile

snapespeare · 03/11/2012 17:56

:-)

I responded that I couldn't possibly meet him as I was cultivating my moustache for mo-vember (in his profile he had mentioned meeting a 98% match who neglected to mention she had a moustache. )

So, I said 'tsk.' He responded, 'well, help to wax it? I'm useless' we're now talking about nasty-men and the descent into filth.

I may have been a bit hasty, led on by this thread and the unseemingly. I shall reserve judgement for if-he-sends-a-cock-pic.

WarmFuzzyFun · 03/11/2012 17:57

Is there any 'woo' to inspire and encourage?

Snape, bloody hell! Tell him to get a job in the barbers.

Worley · 03/11/2012 18:11

macandcheese - when the men's gymanstics team were practising at ds gym club I was in my element!!! sitting with my coffe and book.. glancing up every now and then to watch ds (ha ha ha yeah) (you know I never ever looked at any men before I split with the ex.. now I can't help it!!)

I think I'll remember the no text speak sentence for when I eventually become brave enough to try again.. 5 months to go :(

snapespeare · 03/11/2012 18:12

pixie outfit sounds great. Hope it's fab - come back and give us the gossip when you're back!

I've got the princely sum of 3 messages today + the porn one.
So I'm cultivating some well chosen responses.
What's everyone up to tonight?
