New beginning. Dating thread 41

[lubeybooby]

Dating chit chat here :)

the computer matching thing is surely just a way of stimulating traffic & activity on the site, and justifying the fee with the paid sites

They were all very good, ranged between 5-8 and moved around in a pack. I like lemon jizzle cake....

Well, there was a hand-delivered card waiting for me when I got home. It said, "To Western, I hope you have a good Valentine's Day, love from LM". For comparison, my birthday card said, "To Western, I hope you have had a fantastic birthday, love from LM". There's a theme developing here ...

I know he's gone to quite a bit of effort to sort out this card (forty mins drive round trip to deliver it). So why, why, why such a crappy message?

I think he's just really bad at this sort of thing. Or else I should get my coat.

To all you ladeez on this thread I bring you a very special VD message from a very 'special' kind of guy:

HAPPY VALENTINES TO EVERY SINGLE WOMAN TODAY Merthyr tydfil, Wales
THOUGHT ID WRITE THIS IN CAPITALS BECAUSE I CAN......

IF YOU GOT YOUR ASS OR TITS HANGING OUT ON YOUR PROFILE PIK PLZ DON'T EXPECT A REPLY IM AFTER A LADY NOT A TRAMP....

IM JORDAN

What do people usually write on VD cards then?

You'd better put your titties away then ladies if you want to capture this lover boy....

Also the theme of the card was pants (literally). Quite nice as pants cards go, though - the man's got taste.

I'm going to send him a pants-themed text later on. Maybe a pants pic too

Ike at Lemon Jizzle Cake .

western was this before or after his cheese delivery? Not sure why I'm asking except that at least it shows he cares and yes he may be a teensy bit crap at writing this stuff. Bit crap if before cheese and he thought message was good, bit more crap if he got cheese and thought message was good. The actions and thoughts are good though, definitely no need to get your coat.

Ooh Ike, innovative spelling of PIKTURE

I might put that sort of thing though

YES HE WAS GAWJUS

Western, deeds not words! Arguably it takes more effort to drive 40 mins to deliver a card than to scribble down a few sentiments :)

I've had poems and songs written for me in the past (not for Valentines, the one day in the year when I am always single) BUT whilst it would be nice to have that again, I'd still be quite touched by a hand delivered card even one with a fairly generic message. But then that's me.

No, I think he's going to be at his mum's until late, so the Cheese of Lurve (plus accompanying low-key but infinitely more valentiney message card) has not yet been received and appreciated.

I think I'd feel a bit anxious if anyone wrote a poem for me...I mean it's bound to be doggerel and I'd have to pretend it had some literary merit!

I spose a limerick would be ok:o

OWW some people are a bit crap at writing messages in cards. I am one such person . Doesn't mean I don't mean better things I just am not good at writing them.

Mr Nice's card said

Dear Miranda

All my love Mr Nice x

Which weren't particularly momentous words tbh :)

I am touched (in more ways than one). I know, I sound like such an ungrateful cow. I do appreciate the thought and effort - it's just so very un romantic. I'd write that message (seasonally adjusted) in my 80 year old neighbour's Christmas card. But never mind.

I've never had a song - was it good? I might laugh if someone sang me a song. Or recited a poem. I think I'm a bit crap as well!

I sometimes think I'd like to actually be called Miranda....as in the book character I am named after rather than the comedienne (although I like her too)

surely all you need to write in a card is:

happy

from

Well i can report that my first attempt to ask someone out has really failed rather spectacuarly! Friend of a friend, meet at a few parties, had a bit of a kiss before xmas, sent him a msg couple of days ago asking whether he would like to meet for lunch, coffee, whatever but no worries if not (which is true) and have had absolutely no reply!! [Grin]

Oh well, at least i tried!

Happy valentines day everyone!

You are a practical bird Merc...

Oh Keep ...maybe he didnt get it??? Anyway full marks for trying. x

I honestly think some people are, as Miranda said, not good at writing stuff down.

And also maybe less is more? I remember a friend of mine years ago whose then boyfriend used to write the most cringey, overblown, messages in cards to her, they were just dreadful!

From my experience:

Songs not so good toecurlingly awful

Poems (different person!) were lovely, but especially so because he was/is terribly dyslexic, and had barely read a book let alone any poetry, so it was v touching that he went to the effort of writing them :)

Cuthbert's biggest compliment so far has been to tell me that I am incredibly lovely. Which is not quite as good as a poem, or a card, or anything, but it'll do to be going along with!

Okay I will bow to the wisdom of the thread and admit I'm picky and ungrateful.

I do appreciate the card - actions not words I think are going to be what counts with LM. Takes a bit of getting used to - ex was all fancy words when he wanted something, with nothing to back them up.

Thanks ike, but he did cause you can see on facebook when they have read it - well i refuse to be embarrassed, cause it is always flattering to be asked out, even by someone you arent interested in, so the way i see it is i did something nice either way.

Onwards and upwards etc, etc!

thats probably why no-one writes me poetry Ike
