New one!

All dating related gumph here.

Snape, it was my late mum's birthday yesterday ... it's hard, isn't it.

Yoga, the job/house situation sounds so hard. Ive always planned to go back to work when DS starts school, but I've realised it's going to be really hard to find anything, especially anything fitting in with school hours. Really hoping something comes up for you soon.

Western, yay for coffee!

Hello all

It's taken a lo-o-ng time to catch up with where everyone is at and it's like being on a roller coaster.

I have my first date in 17 years on Sunday. With the man who is too far away (in Cambridge to my North London) and I'm terrified. We've been emailing for 2 weeks - and there's not been a particularly flirty vibe, which I actually really appreciated. I had the choice of Fri/Sat or Sun but chose Sunday as it seems more low key.

All via email as I haven't spoken to him - or even exchanged texts yet - and feel like an awkward teenager.

yay smoothie. Remember, men from Cambridge are fantastic, speaking as one myself, but also don't expect too much from a first First date. My first online date I went into it thinking it would be fantastic and there just wasn't a spark - she was nice enough but it just didn't click. I've only found there to be mutual chemistry with 1 out of every 3 or 4 people I've met in person, no matter how good the emails and chats were beforehand.

Don't assume there will be thunderbolts, and if there are any, then great. It's just meeting someone for a drink, you may like them or not.

I know Bantam and I'm genuinely not expecting fireworks and declarations of love but it will be great to have a glass of wine and a conversation with A MAN! It's been lovely exchanging a couple of emails every evening and if Sunday is hideous and either he or I are physically repulsed then it may all come to an end.

I did tell him to look out for the hairy-arsed (male) biker with neck tattoos and he just said that if that were the case, would have some issues with my Match photos.

That is one thing about online dating that amuses me so much. All the tossers on there, married or otherwise, who are obviously just looking for cybersex with any woman out there - and when they do get it, it's likely to be with a bloke from Nigeria (or possibly Birmingham) hiding behind an attractive womans profile.

Of course they give the rest of us a bad name, but I still find it amusing

Hi everyone,

Sorry that so many are feeling a bit down/fed up with things, room for one ore (ie me)! (I am going to be extra kind to me.)

Thanks for the woo, which I only believe if it is:

1. Says good things in relation to my hopes;
2. Comes true.

See, a reasoned approach as always

POf sounds like a baptism of fire

Today is the day of super neediness in the world of POF

I'm still on IE, today I have had 12 men message me once, then again asking if I got the 1st message, then again asking why won't I speak to them, then again saying they are fantastic people and I'm missing a treat - 12 men!! Not exactly the same each time obviously but good grief!

And now this gem has just come through.....

WTAF???

PoF is great!! Must stick up for it as that's where I met lovely lovely (note the two lovelys today) man. AND had no rude photos or requests for same, either. No idea why not, probably because I'm a forbidding old trout and come across as such even on PoF . . . Give it a go, see what happens. You can always come off again if it's a bit much!

PoF IE might be a bit too scary though . . . Blimey, MsC!

He could buy himself a decent dictionary AND get lessons in English grammar for £500!!

Yikes MsCello! why on earth would he want someone on a dating site to do that when it would cost him about 20 quid on webcam wank sites

I reckon he gets off on the idea of getting someone to agree to it. Then would feck off!

Ask him to send him the money, MrsC.
Get a POBox or something. :o

what time is Sponge 2nd date? Keeping fingers firmly cross

crossed even, although they might be cross at lc if he messes up.

delurking to say, are these POF profiles for real? or are they actually people messing around with too much time on their hands? do people really spell like that ..... do men really offer £500 to someone to listen to them wank?

eyes have been well and truly opened wide ......

(darts back into the darkness again)

Lueji, am also excited by Sponge's second date - and will also be VERY cross if LC messes up.

Lulu, don't know about POF - I've never been brave enough to sign up! Have stuck with the (relatively) unscary Match and GSM.

bantam.. im near cambs you could have been coming up in my searches!
I joined POF last night and messaged bloke near me, but not looked on today yet..

mrsc I would say yes I'll do it but you want the money first!! Lol

Back early, perfectly nice bloke, no spark. Very clever, a bit intellectually challenging and possibly a bit angry. No deal. Plus I have developed terrible sneezy cold, so was very attractive with my dripping nose. Meh.

hey snape. Sorry, was this a mr haha or a short fat bald guy. Or a shaver? There are so many stories going on now it's difficult to keep track

All three, mr haha, the short bald shaver. Must say he didn't look bad for 50.

Seems like it's a bad day for OD. My date was alot older than his pic, was quite opinioated, definately no spark.
I'm also in Cambs, looks like there are quite a few of us on here
Fingers croosed Sponge is having a great time!

Arrgh opinionated obviously, not opinioated!

There is a surgeon who has a witty name and seems nice .. Wants me to text him .. Should I ???

See yesterday(?)'s posts re surgeons ... But why the hell not?

Well, I got an e-mail from Mr Coffee, but it's very hard to tell if he's seeing it as a 'friends' thing or potentially more than that.

Bantam, could I have a male view, please? If you're on a date with someone, would you generally make the first move, or would you expect them to do it?

Sorry ... I'm rubbish at these kinds of things.
