The Rules

2. It's all BS until it actually happens;
3. Trust your gut instinct;
4. If it is not fun, stop

so... anyone know of any other sites I could try apart from pof, smooch and match?

I used to love OKC qo, although I met my DP on POF. But OKC was a bit different from the others, and I had some good times

haha sounds good I will go check it out, thanks

OKC has been crap for me. I'm gonna have a look at smooch/match. It seems to be all the same people.

OWW There's a rather nice mannnnnnn 2 hours away. Typical. I'm trying not to like him until I get to see him in the flesh. I know the rules!

Okcupid, times, guardian, telegraph, uniform dating, singleparents.com

The first is probably biggest out of those, works for some, not for others. The next three are lifestyle-based, and only for big cities.

Singleparents is horrible, from my brief look.

I've never looked at the uniform one

I'll see if I can dig out the post about lonelyseacaptain.com, animal costumes.com etc. but I'd avoid them

fuck... he replied!

Stop press, I've just had a message from Ike, she was very touched by the lovely things people said about her, I said we missed her (Apologies if you've all had messages from her, I just thought you'd like to know)

there is the grand total of THREE men local to me on OKC haha

That's lovely Nora and I hope she can come back somehow. The things I said about Ike have been deleted so I do hope she saw them and knows I'm thinking about her.

Iiikkkkkeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hello

Ooh Martini what did he say?

I'm glad you've heard from Ike, Nora, I'm mostly a lurker on here so probably never conversed with her directly but I always enjoyed reading her posts.

Qo depending on your age, maturefreeandsingle.com might be worth a look? It's for over 40s and seems to just be a round up of every over 40 on every dating website in the area you specify....

martini, what did he reply?

So is Ike still on mumsnet, just not on the thread or are you in touch off site?

thank you django

Miss your strange sense of humour, ike

Martini? What was his reply?

No, she's been banned ( I think ). She messaged me on OKC (only 43% - hrrrrummmph). I think she did see what you'd said OWW, she did sound touched - and not only in that special Ike way that we know and love.

I suggested that she get in touch with everyone on Facebastard but she hasn't got an account.

Arf I haven't ever seen Bookface called Facebastard before

Grace Dent earlier tweeted 'Red sky at night, Angel Delight'. Clearly in honour of Ike.

Ike We miss you....

martini ???

ike I miss you too

Programme about how to succeed at OD on C4 in ten mins ...

Sorry. I was having a chat with the nice bloke who lives 2 hours away. He rang me. Was on the phone for 45 minutes.

PC Arse said he'd had a couple of horrendous days at work and I'd sent too many messages. Hey ho. Obviously not the right one for me. I will not be sending any more!

I'm watching the programme on C4.

That dating programme on 4, 'Hello I'm Dawn O Porter' Didn't she see the pitfall of Porn O Daughter when she shoved the O in on marriage?

I think that programme will just annoy me OWW. As it will no doubt focus on the best way to take a flirt picture and miss the bigger point that if the right person is not signed up for the site then all the witty one liners you can throw at your profile won't make a bit of difference. But if someone wants to summarise the main points go ahead!
