Wow this thread moves on apace.

Well I posted the other day about a chap who seemed to be letting me do all the 'work' of arranging a date and the consensus was he's not that interested. So I left it and guess what he asked if I'd gone off the idea.
So since then we have arranged to meet on Weds eve, public place, early on for a coffee.

We have done some email conversation via OKC and he makes me laugh. He says he's amused and perplexed by my 'directness' which he's not used to but likes (it's how I am). So, with three days to go I am not wanting to do too much contact as it seems the wisdom is not to get too much expectation going before the meet.

I'm cool with it but any tips?

I'm really craving a KFC! Think my body wants grease.

No dates lined up, still talking to good looking, was ment to meet up with him last night but he ended up not going out.

I have a date! I have a date! My first POF date evah.
with Essex, this afternoon. I'd forgotten he'd asked me a few days ago and hadn't logged back in [shame]. We spoke this morning and its on. I think we may be from different worlds but he was really nice on the phone, polite and not a patronising arse and if he looks like his pictures (radical idea), I will have him.

He's going to turn up with a dancing articulated penis, isn't he?

'Together forever and never to part, together forever we two...'

Hope it goes well Juliette

I have had zero messages since before I went on holiday .. Plenty of visitors but no messages .. And the visitors are either foreign (and some of them are attractive) or local spuds

Yay pom

SP those are the very best nights out Grin

Pom so good to see you realising you are as lovely as we know you to be

48 I rather like the attempt at a penis pirouette. Classy.

Very envious of your night out SP

Pom - your posts are just getting better and better, excellent.

Stranger I'm very new to okc so have no real insights to offer, as I've said before, for some reason MA works quite well for me but most other people hate it, some sites are better for some people than others.

Juliette blimey I hope Essex is going to be relatively shaggable, surely the great dating gods will smile on you.

I'm on the train so I shall have to delay the pleasure of the dancing penis until later - story of my life, right there

Lubey I think I have ishoos (hold the front page) - probably just need a right royal rogering.

I'm trying to convince a mate to bring me KFC but hes having none of it Sad What happened to men who would help a damsel in distress!

That's what I need to add to my checklist for a men. He must be willing to bring KFC after I've had a night of drinking. Not much to ask Grin

Youse lot talk way too much for me to keep up Grin

Just wanted to say thank you to those who answered my silly questions about delaying the whole meeting the kids and wotnot. Haven't thought about it since really. Was a momentary pondering of ridiculousness.

Things are going very well. We made it official a few weeks back. Have met the family too Shock. I feel like a soppy, lovesick teenager...and it's marvellous! Never behaved this way with STBXH.

Anyhoo shall go back to lurking as I can never keep up with you lot. But it is most definitely a OD win here Smile (although in different country)

Oh and huge laughs at the cornering penis!

SP - You are making me crave a KFC. Confused I am looking at my uncooked chicken, and the idea of KFC seems very appealing right now! [cant be bothered to stand up and cook for hours]

Juliette- Good luck with your date.

Hello Scumbag - another loved up poster, eh ? It all sounds wonderful.

I want a KFC too, and I don't even like them.

KinNora It is wonderful, very much so. But no declarations of love yet Wink He did tell me he 'luffs me a lot' the other day though. Feeling is mutual

Honestly, if someone turned up with a KFC right now I would fall in love and marry him. Starting to feel a little shit now, think I'm getting a delayed hangover

I discovered a little trick on Match.com. I let my account lapse for several months and kept getting messages saying 'someone, 35, has winked at you' or 'someone, 41, has added you to their favourites' - but with no picture - and in order to see who it was of course I had to resubscribe. I'd looked at the limited number of people of that age in the city and thought maybe it was worth forking out in case it was the best case scenario (i.e the only decent looking 35 year old on Match on there, who looked nice and sounded interesting and funny)

However, I downloaded the Match app for iPhone and there it will actually show me who they are. The ones who'd favourited me, at least.

I shall not be resubscribing anytime soon though. They were not best-case.
