Am just trawling through the minefield of horror that is 'Meet Me' on POF. Am getting a bit tired and my eyes a bit blurry. Read someones 'blurb' as saying 'Looking for some 1 with a gash'. Blimey I thought, there's the counterpoint to 'secret mound'

But it actually says 'Looking for some 1 with a gsoh'. Makes more sense I spose.

ha ha, actually i was talking to someone about "what can i do to improve my work skills i hate this situation?" and he said, "fork lift drivers are always in demand"! Smile

i have heard men talk highly of yoga teachers and nurses! (i'm not either, oh well, I only deserve men who talk of secret mounds....Confused)

Hey Grin My sides are hurting.

48howdidthathappen · 24/06/2013 22:18

I remember being at a party as a teenager, a bloke was talking to me and a few mates. He told us he was a fork lift driver. One of my friends asked him if he did long distance. I was Blush for her.

I don't actually think englishmen are good at sex talk! sorry bant it feels like a girls locker room in here Blush

pats me on bottom (after event, before rolling over and falling asleep)

"aren't you a terribly NAWTY girl, then?"

secret mound...what moles make when they're feeling sneaky.

Sad at the bellends tonight. shall catch up properly tomorrow.

Bant · 25/06/2013 09:30

Morning all.

On the subject of doing internet research, I've only ever done it twice before a date (apart from someone connecting with me on FB or LinkedIn, when it would be rude not to have a poke around)

The first one was a date that cancelled after realising she was an acquaintance of the Artist and that would be weird.

The second one was ten minutes ago when I looked up the girl who sent me her photos via email instead of posting them on the OD site. She's attractive, seems intelligent, has kids. Is married. At least according to FB she is. On the OD site she's down as single.

Hmm. That's a topic of conversation for her anyway.

Out of nothing but kindness, look after yourself, 55.

Mr 3DD is teasing me with a picture of the maltloaf he had for breakfast. I put far too much store in texts and replies etc, I think.

Bant · 25/06/2013 10:20

broken - dinner is good. Shy at first is good (I think) - just take it easy, go slow, no rush. And as I said, if it's not fun, stop.

Okay, I've got to ask here. I need advice.

The girl whose status says she's married on FB just mailed me and told me she had to be honest - she is still married. Very unhappy at home. Wants to send him away but it's not easy. They have two DC, 2 and 4...

From our email conversations she's interesting and funny. I'm really torn here. She sounds like she's in a bad place and from having read some of the horror stories on here, I could be a shoulder to lean on as a friend when she needs one. Her dating profile says she's looking for friends, not dating.

What do I do here? I don't want to get involved in breaking up a marriage if she's leaning that way, but also I don't want to just drop someone who's reaching out for friendship.

help.

MissFelicityLemon · 25/06/2013 10:25

Bant - unhesitatingly, I would advise staying WELL away. If it were the other way round, an a man saying those things to a woman, we'd all be saying "run away; of course he's unhappy at home, blah, blah, blah"

Do you want a female friend??

I never understand why people go on DATING sites to look for friends, but maybe that's just me.
