[JulietteMontague]

All tales of online and real life dating here!

OWW line him up for Wednesday. If things go stunningly well, enough to want to cancel the italian, then you can do it on the day. It's not likely though

Kin that's got GSM written all over it! There seems to be a direct line between 80s and 90s musical success and winding up there, if others' dates are anything to go by.

Stranger it's okc, all I've ever found on GSM have been wankers.

Has been tsk

I can't get on with OKC. I'm starting to see my GSM subscription which looks like it could run and run as a public service to keep lefty journalism afloat.

I keep meaning to bin mine, it's been as much use as a chocolate fire guard.

Right, have said Wednesday might be on, depending on babysitters . . . Do you think going out for an Italian meal with an Italian would be a good experience or a bad one??

Alittle
'Is it ever acceptable to offer to re-write someone's profile?'

I wouldn't, that's him expressing himself, let him show his true colours, don't help him to dupe poor unsuspecting victims.

I sometimes feel like giving the blokes a few tips, but I think, nah, whats in it for me

OhNora I'm intrigued by this band chap! Were they any good?

I never got on with OKC either Stranger - lots of Canadians and Indians but that's no good to me.

OWW ime if you go out for an Italian meal with and Italian, just make sure he chooses one he thinks is good. That is unless you want there to be a very long discussion with the kitchen staff, the waiter, things sent back, wine questioned, and an explanation of why you don't dip focaccia in olive oil. HTH

Arf enormous craft it is longer than most, but not enormous. So do I go there or insist he come here?

OKC never worked for me in the UK, but I got two dates from 5 messages when I moved country. One was Buffy, so that kind of worked out okay.

Having said that, my Match profile keeps getting new winks and likes. I'm wondering how long they'll stay 'fresh' if that makes sense. Do I resubscribe before Buffy leaves the country or wait another couple of weeks. If you 'like' someone on a site, and they wait a month before getting back to you, are you generally put off?

Grinchie Yay to Ironman getting back soon, is this a buy a hat situation?

Bant I'm only put off if they initiate the like, I like them back then nothing. If I've initiated it, I assume they are otherwise engaged and later seen the light . In your case the big advantage of holding off a short time is that you could just say you've only just re-joined.

Shhhh Juliette don't tell anyone

OWW I'll pm you - thank you.

OWW don't be intrigued by this band chappy, I've said something to him that he's taken exception to -he used the word 'lady', apparently ironically, I said I was conditioned by seeing profiles littered with men looking for 'that special lady' etc and he's seen his arse. Weird.

Kin seen his arse?

Sorry Juliette a northern expression meaning he's had a strop, 'how dare ' I accuse him of being like that, he hasn't got time to 'deal with passive aggressive women who aren't ready for a relationship'. I'm somewhat taken aback by his vehemence.

Bant with subscription sites I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt if there's a delay. I accept not everyone is a paid up member all of the time, and as wonderful as my profile is it might not be enough by itself to warrant a direct debit.

Back! omg so much to catch up on.

Had a very fab night! Met some nice people and nearly had a snog but I chickened out at the last minute and instead ended up giving a cheek kiss. Ah well maybe next time ;)

Kin - obviously a grade A tosspiece.

Kin its always a shame when they turn on you, job done though as he's shown himself. I'm sure you will come up with a suitable response. Seen his arse, I'll have to use that first opportunity.

Lubey chickened out? there must be more to this, spill.

I'm giggling at Dutch cap hat

Am also very at compliments over my magnificent bosom, thank you! Dress did fit rather too tightly so diet starts yet again tomorrow.

Western being partly Italian myself I would suggest not going there if there's anywhere else at least half decent you can go instead, I always find eating in Italian places a slightly uncomfortable experience. That may just be me of course!

Kin lucky escape I think, what a rude man!

Well lesson learned, stick to the rules and listen to your instincts, I just thought he was a tad on the intense side.

Bant I think if I liked someone and they didn't get back to me for a month, I'd probably assume they were involved with someone, if I liked them enough, it wouldn't put me off at all.

Juliette consider it my Mancunian gift to you

Lubey - 'chaste kiss' ? 'Chickened out' ? Are you unwell ?

I'm slightly uncomfortable that I now wish I knew what the photo of Velvet's magnificent bosom looks like - has OD forced me onto the other bus ?

well I got chatting to this really lovely guy and I badly wanted to snog him but I just chickened out

lost my bottle

I'm yeller bellied lily livered varmint all of a sudden it seems!

In fairness though it was a big meet so lots of people around and no one else was snogging. If I'd had my wits about me I'd have found an excuse to visit a quiet corner but I had a lot of beer instead of wits.
