Speaking of public searching - there was discussion on here recently that someone could find you on facebook with just a mobile number. I had definitely 100% set my phone number to be seen by "only me" but bizarrely when I had a look the other day all my privacy settings had changed including that one. I had to reset them all. So just a heads up - you might want to all have a little look at your FB privacy settings.

I was thinking of writing a '12 days of Online Dating' but couldn't get beyond

'Fiiive Cooooccckk Piiiics,
Four Angry Blokes,
Three groping fools,
two vanishers
and a date with no chemistreee...'

Any suggestions?

GreenEyedGirlxxx · 06/12/2012 18:00

Thanks Juliette

Really don't want my ex finding my OD profile. Although it would have been useful to find the 'Elite Affair' profile he set up when our DS was 4 months old!

Thing is bantababy which I love btw. Sometimes moving fast can be fine as long as that is what both people are in for, I don't think that in itself is a red flag although it may not be right for you.
But it's the not wanting to use condoms thing, that's the bit that would make me wonder.
Can you talk to her? Directly? If you tell her the things you have written here about moving too fast and using condoms and ask her about having children whilst explaining your own thoughts she may respond in a favourable way. Or maybe not, but if that's the case then you know for sure.

FlorentinePogen · 06/12/2012 18:06

agreed, nature - fast moving itself isn't so much of a problem, things can always be slowed down as long as we were both okay with the speed we end up at. I do need to talk about the condom thing though as that's just too worrying.

jaffacake2 · 06/12/2012 18:19

Hi fellow daters Smile
Well,got the text from guy I had been seeing from POF to say that he didnt want to carry on as we want different things,me like a relationship. He clearly felt that it ws ok then to say that we could still be friends and go out sometimes.
Thanks for your thoughts last night as put me in the right mood to say dont ever contact me again
Oh well,see who comes along next !!!

KirstyWirsty · 06/12/2012 18:24

*jaffa^ Next!!! 😄

KirstyWirsty · 06/12/2012 18:25

Oops that was supposed to be a grin .. Grin

GreenEyedGirlxxx · 06/12/2012 18:29

Haha KW I just thought you numbered all your OD men..!!

Nomorepain · 06/12/2012 18:37

Banta - sounds like she has had hard time of dating in the past then and she can see that you are a good guy. Dating is hard when you carry a lot of baggage but not impossible. You defo need the chat. Tell her exactly how you are feeling because she isn't a mind reader. If she is still not ticking your boxes then prob time to call it a day.

Nomorepain · 06/12/2012 18:38

Jaffa - great attitude! Next.....!

48howdidthathappen · 06/12/2012 18:41
