velvet that is rubbish. You do deserve more and you will get it. C just wasn't right. His issues not yours but he dragged you in and kept you dangling and i think it was cruel. I second what Bant said and I also want to share a quote with you that I saw earlier today. Sums up my feelings towards dating....

Certain way to succeed is to try one more time - Edison.

You have all probably heard it before but I quite like it

Pomegranatenoir · 14/06/2013 20:40

bant you are some kind of hero on here you know...

Bant · 14/06/2013 20:44

martini - it did let you reply by phone - same message 3 times so far :)

Pom All in a day's work, ma'am. Now move along..

T2710 · 14/06/2013 20:46

Velvet that's awful, and so rude. I'm sorry Hmm. Def not the end for you though. Try not to get to down.

Bill I don't think that was fair of her at all, not if she knew you were free. Sounds like she's trying to make you jealous for some reason.

I have a date free weekend! First in a good few weeks. Not sure what to do with myself. Haha.

Since we are critiquing profiles, could anyone with pof be bothered to check mine? I think it's terrible and keep changing it but I'm not sure what makes a 'good' profile.

pornstarmartini · 14/06/2013 20:46

Ha! I'm a loser. Whoops

PC Arse has read the message and no reply at all. That's that then. Bugger. Off to get drunk x

Pomegranatenoir · 14/06/2013 20:49

T - pm me and I'd be happy to help

bant - fancy giving a male opinion on mine again. I have tweaked it!!

martini - you know what I said about him!!!! Go and enjoy yourself. He is a LOSER!! And he has just lost you!!!

KinNora · 14/06/2013 20:49

I'm really sorry Velvet, it's horrible when they don't even give you the courtesy of a reply. Big hug, chuck x

Bant · 14/06/2013 20:52

T & Pom - PM me and I'll take a look

BillMasen · 14/06/2013 20:57

Anyone want a profile reading I'm happy to. I'm on POF. Pm me.

velvet. You sound genuinely lovely and there is absolutely no way that was your last chance. It's just not possible for someone like you to not meet someone right for you. Eventually.

bant you know the rules. No in thread dating (only because none of you are in the midlands and like shorter blokes!) :)

TigsytheTiger · 14/06/2013 20:59

think you've got a new career starting here Bant ...... I can see it now .....Pimp my Profile Grin

T2710 · 14/06/2013 21:00

Pm'd you all. Dun dun duuuun!

Thank you for your help! Smile

Pomegranatenoir · 14/06/2013 21:01

T - you are gorgeous!!

Pomegranatenoir · 14/06/2013 21:02

Pimp my profile! I love it!!!

TigsytheTiger · 14/06/2013 21:04

er .... I'm trade marking that btw very reasonable prices tho Mr Bant should you wish to puuurchase Smile

T2710 · 14/06/2013 21:07

Thanks a million for checking it Pom x

KinNora · 14/06/2013 21:12

Peacock Profile Pimping ?

T2710 · 14/06/2013 21:12

Argh it's so frustrating that I can't work out how to reply on my phone!! All of the gorgeous men in Newcastle must have been snapped up Pom! Haha. There have been a few lovely guys but the vast majority are chavvy and awful.

HeyBeenTryingToMeetYou · 14/06/2013 21:57

Grin @ 'peacock profile pimping'

Sorry you've had no reply Velvet, you deserve so much more.

Bill, think the Italian was not being particularly kind there, onwards and upwards eh?

Date 10 (!) with MrAttractive tomorrow Smile.

JulietteMontague · 14/06/2013 22:10

Velvet this is entirely about C's issues, nothing to do with anything you did. I'm so sorry he couldn't step up. I know it feels grim right now and that he seemed better than nothing but he has made himself totally unworthy. Wine and hugs from me.

I've just been for a walk with Dutchy around the local farms. He has been telling me that the farmers play oompapa music to the cows in the sheds. It turns out it's true, I heard it. Animal cruelty imo Confused.

T2710 · 14/06/2013 22:10

How I long for a date #10!! I'm jealous, enjoy!!

HeyBeenTryingToMeetYou · 14/06/2013 22:13

Juliette I just snorted at the oompapa music. Do they all have 1970s porn moustaches as well? (the farmers, not the cows). Grin

Thanks T2710, I'm still totally wracked by 'the fear' that it's all going to go tits up, but am enjoying it too Grin.

T2710 · 14/06/2013 22:24

Try not to worry to much, you never know, this could be it Grin

T2710 · 14/06/2013 22:25

Haha Juliette I read that as 'umpalumpa' music. Was imagining a willy wonka type set up!

Bant · 14/06/2013 22:29

The famous Chocolate Cows give better chocolate milk when played oompaloompa music.

T2710 · 14/06/2013 22:42

I knew I'd spelt that wrong. What an idiot! Had meant to change it but have been battling with the child that never sleeps!
