let's agree to disagree on that one mercury.

FlorentinePogen · 24/06/2013 15:37

Bant, all sounds cool for the week ahead. Smile

Sounds like your new pal is a Hai Karate user.

Anyhoo, just in case you get stuck for conversation with this lovely lassie, may I suggest you regale her with the history of a little known Italian song :-

and how it became, via. Shirley Bassey :-

the sound of last year's Paralympics :-

Alpha's just told me his surname so a spot of investigation is on the agenda for tonight. I'm going to do this in future whenver possible if I am interested in someone as I was absolutely horrified about what I found out about LM with the aid of a little Googling. Shocking and serious stuff. Fingers crossed there are no nasty surprises about Alpha, but I've had a quick look on LinkedIn and it all ties in with what he's told me, photo up too so I know it's him.

Any tips? I know a few of you do this but I am a bit of a novice.

KinNora · 24/06/2013 16:01

I always google 'em OWW, what do you want to know ? (I love t'internet )

OhWesternWind · 24/06/2013 16:06

Just want to find out if there is anything nasty/untoward going on. Will PM you.

HeyBeenTryingToMeetYou · 24/06/2013 16:08

Yikes OWW, that must have been a bit scary re LM and the googling.

Bant, sounds promising with the real life emaily lady. You seem to do very well out of real life which is nice :) I thought your seduction friend sounded ok, in a kind of cutting through the bullshit way, but having just read that he's been with 4 - 5 women a week Shock, and presuming you mean that he's actually sleeping with these women, I'm not so convinced. I suspect that he's not terribly good in bed and maybe doesn't actually enjoy sex as much as he's claiming to, if all he has is one nighters, and sounds like an addiction more than anything else.

Hi to everyone else, the thread is so busy I can't possibly name check so will just wave, and say it's great to see so many new faces.

Brokenhearted, just want to give you a hug as you sound so sad, and would echo what others have said re it not being a great idea to be dating until you are, well, no longer broken hearted? Please take care of yourself.

Well, developments here are that MrAttractive and I have had a major discussion, and decided to carry on in a FWB relationship. All our angsty niggle fall outs were due to the 'relationshippy' parts of our, well relationship, and all the awesome bits were in the bedroom and just hanging out. God I feel like a weight has lifted, all the angst has disappeared, am just going to enjoy it for what it is. Am back on POF which he is happy with, and have a date on Sunday! Can't say I'm terribly excited about the date, but don't want to cancel on him, and it will be nice just to get out and meet a new blerk. I've never had a FWB before, so any top tips would be appreciated, from anyone a bit more experienced!

A possible downside of dating a hungarian girl - I won't be able to read the sites that tell me she's actually going to cook me and eat me.

Bant, just be ready to run when she starts sprinkling you with salt and pepper. Or is it paprika in Hungary?

Bant · 24/06/2013 16:32

broken - maybe he'll open up and give the chemistry a chance. Remember to go slow, take things at your own pace. If it's not fun, stop

HeyBeenTryingToMeetYou · 24/06/2013 16:39

Broken, what bant said

KinNora · 24/06/2013 17:20

I'm so tempted to kick the arse of some muppet on MA who has just tried to obliquely accuse me of a lack of intellectual curiosity - I know it's not worth it but by god it's tempting.

Bant · 24/06/2013 17:23

whats MA, Nora?

KinNora · 24/06/2013 17:29

Match Affinity ( I'm the one person in the universe who's met some decent people on there )

Bant · 24/06/2013 17:38

oh, I never used it - I created a profile but it was so weird I decided to just stick with Match.

Still. We know you're curious. In a good way :)

KinNora · 24/06/2013 17:41

Shock I am outraged young man !

I met Showbiz, Talent Show and Software on there, amongst others, this berk thinks he's frickin' Isaac Newton.

Bant · 24/06/2013 17:47

Isaac newton was a nutter. Spent half his time trying to prove alchemy was real, and stuck a pin in his own eyeball to see what would happen

KinNora · 24/06/2013 17:49

Perhaps I should suggest that to Halfwit Harry.

T2710 · 24/06/2013 17:49

Another tip for you re spying! If you have their phone number and a fb account, use the FB app an go to 'find friends' then 'phone contacts' or something. It'll show them if they've linked their phone to their fb account!

Just ended it with mac. I feel bad but if I hadnt it would have only delay the upset!

ALittleStranger · 24/06/2013 17:55

Am I the only person who doesn't Google? I think it's cheating/invasion of privacy.

T2710 · 24/06/2013 17:56

I think it's just keeping yourself safe. Well, as safe as you can.

Snapespeare · 24/06/2013 18:01

i am on the train with two sloaney women who script-write for channel 4s 'the undatables'. they are VILE.
