oh just cos.....that's the general way isnt it? Oh and cos i am keen...

KinNora · 06/04/2013 09:08

I dunno if I'm disappointed, I suppose I am a little but not at all surprised, he doesn't make me laugh at all and there's nothing dirty about him and I think they're both pretty much essential for me.

KinNora · 06/04/2013 09:09

You never know, he might be the whole deal, like Nameless and R&R.

lubeybooby · 06/04/2013 09:14

ike yeah that about sums it up really, pleasant evening, itch scratched!

Kin, awww. I'm disappointed for you too, I really hoped it would be great. Definitely email me that pic btw.. I'll PM you!

OhWesternWind · 06/04/2013 10:05

Oh Nora what a shame. Are you going to meet him later?

Ike I know exactly what you mean. If anyone likes me, I don't like them and vice versa, so when you find one where there's mutual liking you're just waiting for it all to go horribly wrong when you meet.

Getting into very deep emotional conversations with one of my engineers. He seems very nice too. I'm not that fussy, really, not going for one physical type or anything, he just needs to be a decent bloke (personality and looks) to start with and I'll give him a chance on the messaging.

TigsytheTiger · 06/04/2013 10:06

kin if you still have my number then send it to me too please Grin, did you get the homemade pressie too?

WarmFuzzyFun · 06/04/2013 10:11

Kin are we twins? You seem very similar to me in regards relationship wants...perhaps I am Southern parallel universe equivalentGrin, although you are far more witty than me (I think I may get a tad more sex though...)

Smile
KinNora · 06/04/2013 10:11

OWW yes, we're supposed to be going out sightseeing, which will be alright if it's scheduled around me having a kip and watching Dr Who - both non-negotiable.

Is the engineer declaring his love for you ?

Tigsy nope, not got the homemade present yet ( one of his children knits, if I get something knitted there will be no controlling me ). I think I've got your number, I'll PM you if I don't.

KinNora · 06/04/2013 10:14

WFF perhaps we are twins, albeit I reckon I'm loads older and I look about 85 today.

Mother Theresa probably got more sex than me.

SPsFanjoTheBigStickyHaribo · 06/04/2013 10:14

I feel like online dating might not work out for me. I think I've seen all the men's profiles that are on there! I'm on POF and OK and I just keep seeing the same people in search. Those messaging me are not normal.

Got a message from a woman asking me to be her sex slave Confused Not sure whether I should be flattered or not Grin

KinNora · 06/04/2013 10:25

It's a whole world of delight, isn't it SP ?

This is part of the message I had this morning from an 'amature gynaecologist' - gosh, he's my dream guy !
'can spend all day playing with & pleasing a fanny witholut getting bored.'

OhWesternWind · 06/04/2013 10:30

Was the picture of you Nora? At least if he's reasonable company today should be bearable. Does he know he's on a hiding to nothing, or is he likely to make further attempts on your nether regions?

Oh goodness, no, nothing like that! If anyone declared their lurve before we'd met that would be the end of the messaging. I think it's just such a huge contrast to my other messagers, who are still chatting on about listed buildings and fell walking, although Deffo is getting a bit flirty. Only taken a fortnight ...

Flipper924 · 06/04/2013 10:32

Shame about the 'meh', Nora, perhaps he'll grow on you with the sightseeing ? Did you like the painting?

And shame for you, too, Lubes, but I'm pleased you got your itch scratched.

It's nice to be reminded that we're attractive women, though, isn't it?

I keep venturing back onto Pof and OKC, but then look at the few messages I've got from the barely literate and get depressed. I really think I live in the black hole of nice men. Other places/towns are full of chatty, friendly men, where if there's a queue at the bar, you'll have made a new best friend or pulled by the time you get a drink. Here, I've waited 10 minutes to get served before now (it was very busy), and no one's even made eye contact.

So, two weeks to the wedding that my ex will be at. I have discovered that everyone else going thinks he's a knob. I'd like to thank karma for this turn of events, but I'm afraid he's engineered this all by himself!

There will be three single men at the wedding.

OhWesternWind · 06/04/2013 10:33

See - you lot get all this and I get earnest conversations you could have in front of your mother without blushing. I think there are two parallel dating site worlds.

SPsFanjoTheBigStickyHaribo · 06/04/2013 10:42

Kin She was so polite about about it too. It would in fact have been a lovely message had it not mentioned sex slave in it. I even politely declined in a 'not my thing but thanks for the offer' kind of way.

KinNora · 06/04/2013 10:44

OWW - blimey, 'listed buildings and fell walking' you dirrrrttty, dirrrrrttty trollop. Software doesn't do smut, at one point he wanted me to explain the physics of X-ray image formation - I know how to live.

Glad to see you again Flipper are you planning to go to Glamour and Flirting Level 11 for the wedding ?

KinNora · 06/04/2013 10:46

That made me laugh SP - I can just imagine the exchange

Scrazy · 06/04/2013 11:08

Oh, sorry to hear the dates last night didn't set the world on fire. It's often the way isn't it?

I'm getting worried about the height fibs. The one I'm meant to be meeting today is a little on the shorter side of things. Ex was one of the smaller guys I've been out with at 5ft 10, considering I'm only short then I must like taller men. This one says he is shorter than that, hope he hasn't fibbed.

SPsFanjoTheBigStickyHaribo · 06/04/2013 11:44

The toddler has gone out with his Aunt then off to his dads so I'm free til tomorrow night. Might see if army man wants to meet in town this afternoon.

Better then sitting in crying over the fact my 3 year old has a better social life then me Grin

WarmFuzzyFun · 06/04/2013 11:57

SP, My Dkids need a social secretary and taxi service, their social life would be Tamara Beckwith to shame.

WarmFuzzyFun · 06/04/2013 11:58

put the typos are back...[shamefaced]

Snapespeare · 06/04/2013 12:00

Grrrr at last nights dates.

KinNora · 06/04/2013 12:06

God, I'm knackered. Suppose I'd better get dressed and text Software, how bad would it be to tell him I can't be arsed sightseeing ?

Hrrrrrrummmmpphhhh.

KirstyWirsty · 06/04/2013 12:19
