Here we are!

Oh Helen seems to be back from posting in other sections [shame]. Going to put her away now and get out her alter ego

Velvet you are lovely but daft to think that these blokes are too nice for you. You deserve much, much more.

Mr Fucked up. Seeking a relationship. POF.

What sort of a relationship is the question.

Helen Genius! ;-)

That's a good idea re false/dating email. I've had a few guys expect to exchange mob numbers very soon after initiating chat. That doesn't sit right with me after only a few exchanges messages on pof. Don't know if I'm just too cagey and uptight and need to loosen up a bit or if I should stick with my comfort zone?!

I never give my number out until after meeting. I take their no. I just assume they will turn up.
They have.

Some people have a dating phone. I don't, and don't give my number out until I'm comfortable with that. Some men get this, some don't and if they start pushing for it and thinking its about them personally (after I've explained), then they are not for me. I always appreciate it when they can see why I'd rather wait a bit.

If they offer their number and want to chat, I offer to call them, I also text first to see if it is a convenient and let them know my call will come through as number withheld.

Spaceman's not flaky I don't think. He's just too nice to be interested in me. Really, he is.

That's not because I don't think I deserve a nice man. But more because 'nice', non pervy men, with good manners, who are looking for a relationship, usually aren't interested in me.

Or if they are, they turn out to have issues, like Cuthbert.

I like that approach 48. It just feels too personal to give out unless it feels like it might go somewhere. Don't want to risk a nutty stalker who can txt/call anytime and now search me on fb as I've discovered tonight! I know the chances of that are probably not as high as I fear but Ive had enough less than positive experiences to dampen the carefree fun attitude I once had for od

I was hoping he would quietly crawl back under his stone

But no he needed a shove.

Re the google thing, click on images and in the right side of the search bar you'll see a little camera. Click on it and it lets you paste a link or upload an image from your computer.

Facebook - I don't have any email addresses listed (except for the one automatically created for me by FB which I don't use) and I have my phone number set so that it's only visible to me. Check your settings, if you do this people shouldn't be able to find you this way.

Just found this wee treat sent on Christmas Eve:

Hi im aaron fm xxxx I am a single dad and a gen guy but bein so honedt I hav to tell ppl eat im lukin for and that is nothibg too setious at first and I love the mature woman so I wud love to get a reply bk fm u thanks x x

1. "Mature woman"?? I'm thirty fucking five and he's thirty fucking one yet his photo makes him look 51.
2. Thirty fucking one and using text speak?
3. Ugh, just ugh.

Ooh you lucky lucky lady notsogood - theres a 'catch' on POF who has 'only reply if you look like your profile pic' - He isn't exactly a looker but obviously thinks really highly of himself lol.

I wud love to send aaron a fucking dictionary

notsogood how about replying - thank you for your email it wasn't long but took me ages to decipher. Pros and cons to a 'mature' woman I'm afraid, on the plus side we have perfected the art of spelling correctly and using grammar appropriately but on the down side by the grand old age of 35, most of us do have a relatively well developed twat radar, which unfortunately means I'm unable to reply seriously to your message. But thanks anyway! By the way do you know you have inadvertently posted your dads picture onto your profile?

Probably best not to send and engage him but tempting none the less! Twunt'

My mum has had a stroke. Fuck.

Oh, 48, I'm so sorry! What a terrible shock. Is she in hospital?

48 wishing you well. Will she be Ok? Are you near your mums?

48 so sorry, will send lots of positive thoughts your way. x

48 hope your mum is going to be ok!! X

In hospital yes. I never heard my landline last night. Close by, yes. Going down this afternoon visiting hours. They are moving her into stroke recovery unit today.

She recieved treatment fast, so hopeful.

48 fingers crossed for you, hope all is ok

I have 4 sisters, my mum has a fantastic partner, good friends, she will be well looked after.

Thankyou.

Oh so sorry 48, thinking of you. Hope all is OK.

Really sorry to hear that 48. Did she have a CT and drug treatment very quickly on admission ? There's a nationwide stroke protocol so they should be following that ( it makes an enormous difference to recovery ). Feel free to pm me if I can help in any way.
