Here it is...

I just assumed he was dodgy from the photos and didn't even read his profile, there was something about them which just screamed 'stolen from the internet'!

VoiceofUnreason · 27/02/2013 21:33

Scrazy - I removed my actual profile today as I am back on the sofa already. However, I have set up an almost empty one just to use the forum from time to time.

VelvetSpoon · 27/02/2013 21:34

Snape a bit nervous is good though I think!...isn't it all part of the excitement? I am always a little nervous before I see C not that I will be seeing him anytime soon

Scrazy · 27/02/2013 21:34

It crossed my mind he was using model pics but I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt.

Voice?

Snape, you shouldn't feel like this when you have DTD, it's probably just excitement.

VoiceofUnreason · 27/02/2013 21:35

Scrazy: Voice?

Did I miss something or did you?

Scrazy · 27/02/2013 21:36

Voice, crossed post. OK, I'm not really after suggestions on improving it anyway as I cannot be bothered myself and as I've said have gone all self conscious, probably a fall back from the recent crap, but I'm getting there with all that and trying to put it behind me.

Scrazy · 27/02/2013 21:37

Cross post again, it was the to suggestion of swapping usernames Grin.

Pomegranatenoir · 27/02/2013 21:37

I've been lurking. Reading everyday but no posting!!

Snape not giving him a name worked!!!! Super happy for you!!

I have got my interview tomorrow. Seriously petrified. Feel underprepared but all I have done all week is preparation so not sure how much more I could have done. Got a presentation and then interview. i know one of the people that is interviewing me. I got told few years ago that he fancied me. the feeling is not mutual and I may have said that to one of his colleagues!! He has called me this week to wish me good luck. Bit awkward!!

Then going on date 2 with Mr Irish. He seems keen. I'm not sure. He has got a rough side. He wants to improve himself but I'm just not sure yet if I would be happy to introduce him to my friends. Not a great sign but it is a night out and I know he will make me laugh and get me drunk!! He has been massively supportive this week and has proved to be a very good distraction from everything!! Not sure if I fancy him though. In fact I can't remember what he looks like!!!

Snapespeare · 27/02/2013 21:38

I like feeing like 'this' post DTD though. The first time is an exploration. Subsequent time (s) is a confirmation...

JulietteMontague · 27/02/2013 21:40

Good nervous is a good sign at this stage, I bet you can't wait!

48howdidthathappen · 27/02/2013 21:40

I would guess its delicious anticipation snape Enjoy! Grin

JulietteMontague · 27/02/2013 21:43

Will someone tell me it's ok to message Fancy Man with a view to meeting him and snogging his face off.

VoiceofUnreason · 27/02/2013 21:43

Further to the mini-discussion earlier about "frequently seen on profiles" it also struck me just how many women in their late-30s and early-40s regularly go to music festivals.

VoiceofUnreason · 27/02/2013 21:44

Juliette - you do not need our permission. If I was in your shoes, and not male, obviously, I bloody would. Could do with a good snog. Of course it's bloody OK.

VelvetSpoon · 27/02/2013 21:45

Juliette, is this the one who said about the weight thing?

I'd say yes, message him. Nothing ventured, etc.

ordinarybloke · 27/02/2013 21:46

Scrazy-most people don't like the sound of their own voice or how we look on Skype/in the mirror.myself included,but I Skyped with the woman I went out on the date with before the date and she still wanted to meet-up.

oww-she does have DCs but they are adults and live in another country-it wouldn't bother me if they were school-age and/or lived with her.

EternalRose · 27/02/2013 21:49

So thinking about putting a pic of myself on my profile here. I figured that if I could manage that, maybe I will get the courage again to do an online dating profile at some point in this decade one day...Confused

JulietteMontague · 27/02/2013 21:53

Yep it's Fancy Weight Man. Obviously I couldn't shag him as nothing less than total adoration of my body would do.

How do I not make a snarky comment? This will be an exercise in my non existent diplomacy.

EternalRose · 27/02/2013 22:03

I put a picture of me and my munchkin on my profile, can any of you see it? I think I fiddled around with the settings correctly...

pomegranate Good luck with your interview tomorrow.
oww Glad LM is coming to see you.

I forgot to mention that I got a place at a top top university yesterday, 1000 applicants and 18 places. Although, I turned it down today because its in the north and I want to stay a southern girl. So, will be taking my place at a top, top university in the south Grin. Looking forward to moving out of this house I share with the ex, and starting fresh.

NicholasTeakozy · 27/02/2013 22:05

Snape, you are an amazing woman. Any man worth your while is a lucky individual.

VoiceofUnreason · 27/02/2013 22:05

Rose - surely that's soon-to-be-ex? Smile Congrats on your place!!

EternalRose · 27/02/2013 22:06

For some reason, I have just missed a whole page of posts..going mad

JulietteMontague · 27/02/2013 22:08
