Dating thread no 51

[JulietteMontague]

All tales of online and real life dating here!

North Midlands/North West. Ish.

Oh no OWW the 'your' was the icing on the cake. My profile says contact me 'if you can spell and you're funny', clearly he didn't read it properly.

Shagging in the lifts again Bant ? you rascal

OWW no, not really, although work is monumentally shite, just the transition back into drudgery. Thanks for asking, chuck and fingers and toes crossed for Indie.

SS there will be many more out there that are better, sexy and fun and interesting but also not flaky, not unreliable and not crap. You'll find one of them soon, really you will.

Patio probably worth having a quick look through the kind of profiles on each site for your area, see which takes your fancy.

The problem is that I don't really know what sites arte out there! I have only heard of Pof and Match - one because its notorious and the other cos they advertise lots. What others should I try?

Hello Patio

Paid sites-
Match (meh for me but some people find it very good )
Guardian Soulmates ( a refuge for wankers )
Match Affinity ( most people hate it, it's been ok for me )
Assorted others like Uniform Dating ( I imagine it's Perv Central ) and e-harmony ( supposed to be useless )

Free Sites-
PoF ( Land of the Uninvited Cockshot )
OKC ( a lot of people think it's ok, I've not been on it for long enough to form an opinion )

I'm sure my esteemed threadmates will have more useful advice.

There is OKCupid, Guardian Soulmates which might be okay if you are near Manchester or Sheffield or another big city. I've always got on fine with PoF - no rude pics or anything, just lots of engineers.

Is that a dating thread, money back guarantee OWW? . I hope Indie turns out to be all those things too!

Patio I have found OkCupid entertaining, if nothing else, just watch out for those claiming to be 'available' rather than single! PoF has much more traffic, but needs a lot weeding out!

Ah ok. I will check a few out. There are some there I'e never heard of!

And after six months on PoF I still await my first cockshot and have never once been contacted by an engineer! Chefs seem to be my speciality

kin was he a 24 yr old, looks about 12? One of them messaged me tonight with same request, maybe they've all read something in Nuts.

Another told me he was good looking and if I disagreed I was too picky.

The policeman has turned up again, player I think

I've been chatting to Dutch all night. We're doing webcam tomorrow afternoon. I may need the fish.

I have even messaging a 36 year old who works in logistics all evening .. Looks quite good .. Comes across well by message .. In a big hurry to meet so I am wondering if he is looking for a ONS ..

nora I nearly spat my wine out!!

Oop. Just played 'love' at scrabble with nameless.

It was a double word score. I had no choice.

What was his next word?

Still waiting. Gah.

apex.

sodding tripple letter on the 'x' resulting in 78 points. good jpb he's lovely.

i played 'devote'.

Yes he is 24 Juliette - supposedly a photographer, lives in Hampshire ( I think, geography not necessarily my strong point ) asks if I'd be interested in some 'fun' and that I'm a 'very beautiful woman' - gosh, little lad, you tell me that I'm beautiful and my knickers automatically fall off, I suppose we'll just have to have the sex now !

'Apex' - hats off to Nameless there.

Slightly disappointed not to have an email from Sheldon last night, an amusing man who is also a scientist, I luuuuurve scientists, we've been getting along swimmingly.
I appear to have re-woken Showbiz's libido, with ( and this is the kind of thing that makes it possible I might do him ) my 'minxy kisses' - I'm a sucker for a well turned phrase.

Have a lovely day, everyone.

Morning all.

Picked my car up last night. I appear to have let it almost run out of water

Mr R&R is doing a bit DIY at my field after work. Then back to his place

Have a good one.

And my starter for 10 this morning: what is the correct reply to this little gem

xxx woww your so gorgeous so hot sexy babes

From a 42-year-old bleurk!

The only correct response would be boak xx

Disclaimer: I have not ever done OD so I might be wrong. But its what it makes me want to do.

So it wouldn't make you go weak at the knees and all swoony then patio?

That must just be the virus I'm incubating then

You could almost forgive him if he was a young 'un but a man full grown really, really should no better!

In my inbox this morning is a slightly creepy message "Hi do you ever go to the pub at X Village". Well, erm, yes I do, used to go a lot with LM and it was also where I had my date with the overly-keen veggie bloke. It could be a coincidence as it's a popular pub near to where I live but am getting slightly stalker-ish vibes.

Much more happily, inbox also contains another lovely message from Indie. I do like a man who can string together three or four witty and coherent paragraphs on a regular basis. Spelling is a little adrift on occasion but I am not being overly pedantic here. He's asking when I'm free over the weekend or next week, so we should be on before too long. Will avoid pub under surveillance.

Nothing from Rick confirming/postponing for tomorrow. Not sure what to do here.

Good response Patio - other alternative is just to ignore. We're off to a good start today SS!

Oh, no OWW don't like the sound of that - poss stalker - Indie sounds lovely. I've just gone back thru Disappearing Man's messages, much longer than I thought - end of Feb he first made contact. And then 100s of multi-paragraphed messages all interesting, and just as important interested

I suppose there's two things from that 1) literate, witty men do still exist and 2) remember the 'Thou shalt not become over-invested' commandment' with the codicil he may still be a literate, witty knobber or a spark-free wet lettuce.

And not that you asked, but if it 'twas me I'd text Rick and say it's his last call, if you want to see him. If you're still not really bothered about him - and I for one would like Never Going to Give You Up bleached from my brain - just work on Indie and if Rick makes a comeback (god forbid) he'll just have to go to the back of the queue.

Obviously I do know better

Oww, if you haven't heard anything it's off, you don't need to worry about it.

Welcome to newbies. I think some of the oldies are jaded or have met someone and dropped off so good to see new enthusiastic posters .

Looks like my second date isn't going to happen, he seems to have dropped off too. At least I've got the ex back in my life, aren't I lucky? (sarcastic emotion). He is still hankering after a fwb arrangement. My sentiments are I'm nobodies fwb, grow up and if you don't like someone enough to make them your girlfriend, find someone you do. He still doesn't get it, he doesn't like being pressurised, poor lamb. I am OK staying in touch though (in case I get desperate).
