Well the Marine Eco/bio guy is an IE ...he has hang out tho. Away in Brussels at mo...likes Japanese food as do I, suggestion of a date. Seen my photos and he reckons i am 'his type of woman'...heh heh we shall see shall we...

ike1 · 20/03/2013 17:11

...I have a feeling he is very wrapped up in his career hence not wanting a relationship....either that or he's a kinky effer like Dr A. Delight.

Scrazy · 20/03/2013 17:34

Only one way to find out Ike, when is he back?

ike1 · 20/03/2013 17:38

coupla days at a conference....

WarmFuzzyFun · 20/03/2013 17:41

Hi my internet Peeps!

It's all been going on hasn't it?

Scrazy, I have had a date (or three Wink) from m IE profile on POF. So far so good.

I view Fwb's/IE as the temp job you take while you continue looking for permanent employment.

Voice, don't be gone too long Mister, I'll We'll miss you.

Why do I feel so tired? Maybe eating crisps and drinking endless cups of tea isn't such a great diet, who knew?Grin

ike1 · 20/03/2013 17:47

I feel like a bag o' shite at the mo ...queazy with a sore throat and aches. Really pissed me off cos I was hitting the gym big stylee last week. What have the dates been like WFF?

WarmFuzzyFun · 20/03/2013 17:55

Hi Ike. The dates have been ggggrrrreat (remember the Frosties commercial).

They have been better than my Match ones (WFF sticks tongue out at Match website), the men have been intelligent (I know) and it's been fun.

One has to sift carefully and quite ruthlessly, Lubey has the right idea, block, block and block some more.

ike1 · 20/03/2013 17:57

Oh ok ...did they expect first date nookie????

Sunshinewanting · 20/03/2013 18:02

I have been lurking a while and have decided now is the time to take the plunge. I've set up a profile on Plenty of Fish. What can I expect?

JulietteMontague · 20/03/2013 18:04

I'm more and more convinced gsm Software man is going to cry off the date on Thursday. I sent him a mail late Monday letting him know that he'd got the day wrong, it was meant to be Tuesday not Thursday. Sent a follow up yesterday to say I assumed as he hadn't replied it was off for yesterday. He shows as not having logged in since earlier Monday. Gsm can send email notifications with the beginning of the mail so he must be avoiding logging in. Strangely, another gsm man pulled the Tuesday/Thursday thing, then cancelled at the last minute. I'm not that fussed as I think he is probably boring but it's irritating.

WFF was that on POF?

ike1 · 20/03/2013 18:07

Sunshine depends on what you are looking for ....but a fair few initial messages under most circs..

ike1 · 20/03/2013 18:08

Prob married Jule...yawn...

Sunshinewanting · 20/03/2013 18:15

I'm looking for a partner, its very exciting and nerve wracking.

WarmFuzzyFun · 20/03/2013 18:17

Yes POF Juliette.

Ike, No sex on first date. Usually by about date 2 or 3 in my case. First date is exactly same as 'normal' dating: meet, greet, look for flags and chemistry.

Just because it is IE doesn't mean you have sex with someone you don't fancy or don't feel safe with.

Lots of the time I don't take it further than the first date.

ParsleyTheLioness · 20/03/2013 18:49

Hi Peeps
Glad to hear all the foofs are doing well Grin. Have only caught up with the last two pages...
Hope everyone is ok. Have hidden my POF profile. Anyone else found the same people contacting for the second time via the Meet Me function, when they have chatted a few days the first time then dissapeared? This has happened a couple of times now. Sad that I am very forgettable or they message so randomly with no system! Also people who you are not interested in, who contact you again a week after you have ignored their first irresistable feeble approach? Is it just me?

WarmFuzzyFun · 20/03/2013 18:55

Parsley, block them, thereby ending confusion, repeat messages.

ParsleyTheLioness · 20/03/2013 19:03

Now why didn't I think of that...good idea. You had it too then Fuzzy?

OhWesternWind · 20/03/2013 19:13

Sunshine wishing you lots of good luck and fun in finding your partner ... Come back and ask about anything you want! Hope it goes well.

WarmFuzzyFun · 20/03/2013 19:31

Grin Yeah, but it's all part of the tapestry of OD eh?

DippyBlinkey · 20/03/2013 19:31

Hi, new on here but looks fun! 2nd meeting fifteen minutes away... Is a pof boy! Gorgeous, messaged a lot but got v sexual so our first meeting ended up in jolly good sex! Messaged lots since and tonight at mine for food and chat..parents have children for the night..any tips (er, apart from no sex on first meeting -why didn't I think of that-)

ParsleyTheLioness · 20/03/2013 19:36

Someone needs to start a new Fred...

OhWesternWind · 20/03/2013 19:36

Sounds like you're having fun Dippy - don't think you need any tips! Only note of caution would be to make sure at some point that you're both on the same page about what you want out if this, otherwise it can get a bit tricky if you want different things.

Enjoy yourself tonight Envy

WarmFuzzyFun · 20/03/2013 19:43

Yeah, the end is nigh for thread 46
