New thread time! Great timing with it being new years day...

Most of you know what to do... off you go!

Just in case you don't... just chit chat all your dating related stuff here. If you are new, just jump right in to the blethering. More the merrier!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! :o

Sorry Bant - been doing some ironing!! Basically Juliette did some digging for me and it appears that this man is a regular on dating for sex sites. Quite a few of them with rather peculiar names!! Which is fine if that's your thing but it certainly isn't mine. And I have a feeling he is married. And he isn't the professional 'partner in a management company' that he said he was. I just had a funny feellng about him and it turns out my instinct was right.

Oh wow I found out how to do bold - small things eh!!!

KirstyWirsty · 04/01/2013 08:11

grinchie I nearly wet myself on the train this morning .. Thanks for that!! Grin

Nomore Yuk! to dirtbag man.

Bant Agree with Ike clean shaven. A stubble rash is not a good look.

BantaBaby · 04/01/2013 09:49

NoMore - yep, horrible bloke. Be pleased you're rid of him. If it's any consolation, it shows your radar is working even before you have reason to doubt someone

SevenSnapespearesSwimming · 04/01/2013 10:33

snigger at bant questioning what length of stubble is the 'correct' length of stubble. next you'll be asking us if your 'bum looks big in this..'

AndLibbyMakesThree · 04/01/2013 10:33

Hello everyone, I'm still reading every post even though I don't contribute much. Had a wobble this week with Mr C, and really wanted to post about it, but feel I can't as I think he reads MN. Feel a bit like my support network has been taken away.

Nomore, so glad you found out about dirtbag before you met him (at least I don't think you've met him) and well done to Juliette on her digging.

Also sending hugs to yogadog, and sending best wishes to Velvet for your date tomorrow. The way you think about things sometimes reminds me so much of me, and I'm really hoping Spaceman turns out to be a good 'un.

MsArsebiscuit · 04/01/2013 11:00

That's a bit rubbish, Libby, could you not change name or a few details to throw him off the scent ? It seems very unfair that you lose out on support just because he might recognise you.

SevenSnapespearesSwimming · 04/01/2013 11:03

I have been messaged on OKC by a man who is Gary barlow in a take that tribute band.

'hello lady, I think we need to have a chat!'

must not respond must not respond....

48howdidthathappen · 04/01/2013 11:08

Good idea Arse may throw him off the scent Smile

MsArsebiscuit · 04/01/2013 11:16

48, I'd be horrified if I thought any man I was seeing realised it was me from reading this thread, I'd feel most affronted to have my support network compromised.

Snape, at least it wasn't a Jason Orange impersonator - ' Hello lady' ffs.

No Gael Garcia lookey likeys yet. Sad face.

JulietteMontague · 04/01/2013 11:32

Bant I like clean shaven or the right kind of stubble. As I have form for the Mediterranean man my idea of stubble is about 2 days of strong growth and the crucial bit is it being clipped.

Ultimately, do want you want to, definitely don't s

Nomore your radar was indeed spot on. You haven't responded so I would ignore, ignore ignore.

Libby So MrC reads MN. If it is because he knows you post, not nice.

Scatty good call if that wasn't for you. I would have done the same.

Scattylatte · 04/01/2013 11:44

Libby I agree with Mrs A - can you slide in under another name or something. I find it so theraputic to get it off my chest on here.

Fireman also called me "mate" on 2 ocassions. Mate??

Everyone I seem to talk to on pof lives abroad. Figure that one out

snape Why not reply to Mr Barlow?

SevenSnapespearesSwimming · 04/01/2013 11:47

scatty he's. gary. barlow.

48howdidthathappen · 04/01/2013 11:49

scatty 'mate' does he want a drinking buddy. Odd!

MsArsebiscuit · 04/01/2013 11:51

I've had male patients call me 'mate' - I usually give them a Hard Stare.

JulietteMontague · 04/01/2013 11:52

doh, should have read Bant Definitely don't shave if you don't want to

ike1 · 04/01/2013 11:58

'mate', 'lady' slightly better than 'ho' chortle.

MsArsebiscuit · 04/01/2013 12:05

Or 'sugartits'

JulietteMontague · 04/01/2013 12:05

Would someone pm me details for the 'options' group please?

MsArsebiscuit · 04/01/2013 12:09

What 'options' group Juliette ? ( have I not been paying attention again ? )

JulietteMontague · 04/01/2013 12:18

Someone mentioned a'limited options group' upthread

SevenSnapespearesSwimming · 04/01/2013 12:27

'options of limited quality' is a closed facebook group where we share our (un) solicited cock-photos. kind of like a safe place to send-on a chain email, thus destroying or diluting the powah of the cock-shot (except not really, we just like to laugh at willies)

if anyone would like to join (...remembering that curiosity made the cat vomit) message me for my fb details and I'll add you.

VelvetSpoon · 04/01/2013 12:31

Libby, don't stop posting! Name change (and pm us with the new name then we'll know who you are without you saying on thread :)

Thank you re Spaceman. You have no idea how much I'm also hoping he turns out a good'un!

Snape I rather like Gary Barlow Blush

MsArsebiscuit · 04/01/2013 12:34

Ah, explains why I didn't pay attention - no FB
