Yes, he's a PoF-er. Have had almost all my dates off there and don't think I'll bother with the other sites in future. Haven't had any shortage of reasonable men on PoF so far.

He is nice. It's the accent that does it for me (amongst other things).

WarmFuzzyFun · 27/04/2013 18:30

You have nice neighbours Kin

OWW I think I wasted my time and money on Match, it has been slow moving for me, I've had one date, had over a thousand views and 400 odd winks, maybe it's my geography. The men in my age range on Match aren't very attractive to me or I to them I guess...

I luurve accents.

OhWesternWind · 27/04/2013 19:08

WFF pretty much the same for me on match too - loads and loads of views, very few messages. I did have that rather peremptory bloke asking me out but never went. There's a message waiting for me but I CBA to log in and read it! Lots of men in Mcr, Liverpool, Leeds but I'm not going to travel an hour every time I want to meet someone, so it's a bit rubbish.

I have an accent, but it's the same as everyone else round here so they don't appreciate it!

KinNora · 27/04/2013 19:47

What accent does he have OWW ? ( if it's NI I'm going to be well jel )

HeyBeenTryingToMeetYou · 27/04/2013 19:56

Busy thread today. Will take the thread wisdom and join POF.

Snape if something 'bad' happens to me on waking, bad dream, or something that makes me jump, or kids fighting etc it always makes me feel much worse than if it happened during the day. So I totally get how waking on your own could give you a big case of the wibbles.

I'm right there with Kin, Velvet and others with the whole dream future business. It's just the way I've always been. In theory I love the idea of a FWB, but I know the reality would involve me staring moonily out of the window, picturing my second wedding.

Bant, anyone who regularly and bitterly whines about any previous relationship excessively, be that a partner, friend or relative is a red flag to me. As others have said, there is a time and a place for a good ole whinge, but not if it's the overriding theme.

OhWesternWind · 27/04/2013 20:07

Lovely South Wales accent Nora - he says "yer" for "here" (or "ear") and I just love it. I used to be with you on the Irish one but my total twat of an ex-BIL put me off forever.

KinNora · 27/04/2013 20:16

Has to be NI for me, ideally Belfast, Ian Paisley makes me hawwwttttt.

(Not really)

JulietteMontague · 27/04/2013 20:16

WFF no one ever found a partner on eHarmony, not a human one anyway. Match, not even one decent email, never mind a date.

Now someone is going to put me straight on that aren't they.

Bant no visualising a move to Hollandia. He is planning to sail around the world, literally.

OhWesternWind · 27/04/2013 20:24

My first OD ever was off Match as I'd been well and truly put off PoF by all the horror stories. He was at least five years older than his photos and slightly patronising. Then I had the infamous uber-boring Bitumen Bloke (at least ten years older than his photos) and after that I set up a profile on PoF. Both those charmers are still on there btw if anyone's tempted.

VelvetSpoon · 27/04/2013 20:32

C is from Match....

This may or may not go in it's favour

SPsYoniTheOneAndOnly · 27/04/2013 21:23

I have a real life crush! Not an online thing. I order from a certain Take away and get different delivery guys.

For the past few orders I have got the same guy. He is good looking and has a lovely smile. Hes just brought by order tonight and I saw him checking his hair in mirror of his car before coming to my door. He smelt lovely.

I feel not so lovely as he probably thinks all I eat is take aways and its a kebab tonight

How do I find out more about the delivery guy?

Snapespeare · 27/04/2013 22:00

sp this is SO porno as to be absolutely-fucking-fantastic. Next time you have to ask him if he's remembered your 'hot sauce'

Does he work specific days? Could you mention that he's putting temptation in your path and you can't get any more take-a-ways as they go straight to your hips? Then he'll check you out, say something about your hips being resilient against take aways, you'll say you just dress well... He'll say he does believe you and he'll have to see you without any knickers clothes to make a judgement...

All is well in the land of snape and nameless (snapeless?!) we've texted. All is non-commitally well around here.

SPsYoniTheOneAndOnly · 27/04/2013 22:07

So far I've worked out Tues and Sats. I hope the porno becomes reality snape I could mention how I see him more then most people, sadly its true!

They did forget my chilli sauce though! If it was a film he would have turned up. Last week he forgot my drink and had to go back.

Thinking of ordering and then answering in underwear. Nothing wrong with been forward If it was a film he would turn up with the chilli sauce when hes finished work

OhWesternWind · 27/04/2013 23:05

Well I think there's definitely going to be a bit of snogging tomorrow judging by tonight's texts ... although not quite as pornotastic as SP and the delivery man. Just do him SP! I like the underwear plan!

Blimey, think I have got a bit overheated.

OhWesternWind · 27/04/2013 23:07

He's just texted to say he has a good feeling about this and can't wait to see me again. Roll on tomorrow night!

SPsYoniTheOneAndOnly · 27/04/2013 23:10

Sparky never got in touch btw way so his number has been deleted. I'm not wasting my time when I could be stalking then shagging getting to know the delivery guy.

ike1 · 28/04/2013 01:47

Hey OWW 'come over by yer but.'...'who's coat is that jacket? boyo ..' do you fancy me now lovely girl????????Do yayayayay.. 'Have a wash in that bosh you duuuurrty mochyn..' 'fancy a cwtch?'

ike1 · 28/04/2013 01:51

Well..aye mun..

SPsYoniTheOneAndOnly · 28/04/2013 02:01

Getting some lovely messages off one particular person. Asking if i want nsa or if I'm an escort. How he's willing to pay for something hes not getting ar home. They haven't had sex for weeks apparently. Told him not interested and he said Hypothetically how much would you want for a bj or handjob'

I feel sorry for his gf.

Flipper924 · 28/04/2013 08:59

SP, I would want to scrub my screen with bleach after that.

Ike

OWW, this could be very very good...fingers crossed for you, my lovely.

Friend and I went out to a bar last night. She's very newly, and unwillingly, single, but wanted to get out of the house. Bless her, she was like a rabbit in the headlights. I need a more together wingman.

It's Sunday. I have to cut the grass, dig the veg patch, clean the house, do the ironing, walk the dog...the list goes on. And then (the really sad bit), I have to take my nail varnish off, ready for work tomorrow. They're sooo purrrrty right now

KirstyWirsty · 28/04/2013 09:00

Morning!!! It's SUNDAY!!!

So Kiltykilty is meeting me between 4 and 5 .. I am so excited .. Lots of lovely and vvv rude texts yesterday ..I do hope we hit it off (he says hope is the wrong word .. He knows we will)

SP talking of feeling sorry for someone's girlfriend .. I was out for dinner with the girls last night .. I was in the entrance phoning my DD when guy walked in .. Totally checked me out and I smiled at him .. He went back out ..Anyhow i was back at the table and he and his gf came in .. He actually turned round 3 times to look at me .. Later on I went to the loo and he was right outside the ladies .. Told me that I looked really lovely I just said thanks .. He then followed me back (so didn't go to the loo himself) .. His poor gf looked lovely as well and totally oblivious

KinNora · 28/04/2013 09:10

my fingernails are a lovely shiny purple, taking the polish off on a Sunday night is like the adult equivalent of watching Songs of Praise and feeling sad because it's school again tomorrow. And yes, I've got fricking mountains of washing and cooking to do too - being grown up is shite.

Kirsty I feel terribly excited for you so god knows how you must feel, I hope it's a rip roaring success.

OWW very excited for you too, I hope you have a marvellous time.

Hello everyone, have an excellent Sunday.

Kirsty bet you are sooooo excited! Hope it all goes just how you want it to. Are you hoping this is going to be a regular thing?

Ooh Ike if I ever turn you'll be top of my list. He can have his cwtch tonight, and the rest of it.

Flipper oh I hope so! I have that sort of day too (again) except for it's chucking it down here so no gardening. Have already washed my hair and beaten ds on the wii, important things first!

Good morning everyone else!

OhWesternWind · 28/04/2013 09:27

Sorry Nora I took ages with that last post so I didn't see yours.

Weird mix of excitement and chores on the thread this morning!

KirstyWirsty · 28/04/2013 09:35

HeyOWW yes I am hoping it is a regular thing.. What time is your date and what are you doing ?
