Who's going to start dating thread No57?

[akaWisey]

Or am I going to be 'one'

(Oh and Showbiz, Software and Talent Show - marvellous )

Meh, I regularly stalk see how an ex is doing for comedy value and it never recommends him (ok he is blocked) or his wife/

Ah, they can't view me as I am locked down to strangers but maybe I turn up in their suggestions. I do it every couple of weeks so they must think it's normal by now.

I could be wrong, of course.

So much great stuff on here at the moment.

I have been with Mr R&R over 6 months now How the hell we got this far, I have no idea. I think he is The love of my life.

Fuzzy My mum is doing well. Home Tuesday if care. etc in place. Thanks for asking

Only on FB to keep in touch with my son in OZ.

48 that is just so lovely. And so glad things are coming together for your mum to come home.

mmmm interesting debate!

i'm trying to get out of the "facebook/google checking" habit with my dates, just take people on face value?

never uncovered anything - i don't tend to host due to my living situation, so its always "back to his" which is a big "check" in itself.

cause i'm quite quiet people think i don't notice things, but i've got quite good instincts for stuff - worked in enough industries and lived in enough places so i can "call" if someone is talking BS and close contact early, no bother.

but sometimes i think "oh that interesting or relevant" if i've found summat out about someone online but it isn't,it could mean anything?

Someone's facebook or google profile is just a "snapshot" of a person really! also more romantic to just get to know someone 1-1? Don't want to do the whole "oh he didn't ask me out this weekend BUT i've worked out he with his mates/made a smart arse comment on facebook, what a bastard" thing and drown in over analysing.

someone egg me on to stop being snoopy please please!

aw 48 so pleased to hear your Mum is doing well.

and as for Mr R&R I'm delighted for you

HAT! HAT! HAT! HAT!

I have never been the marrying kind. I maybe having a change of heart

Lorna I always check out anyone I can and avoid giving my number out before meeting. I also get concerned if they appear to have no online presence. I was once chatting to a lawyer, asked him for something to verify who he was before we met (as he was local) and read all about his wife and children on his company website. He was separated but not quite as divorced as claimed.

I never, ever add dates to fb until it's exclusive. Just asking for trouble, they don't usually even get my second name. Doesn't stop me checking them out though

tigsy made me do it?!?! Er kin I think your words were "I can't resist a dare!"

Evening all! Still reading .... Full time job is manic, collapsing into bed most days knackered whilst organising house move. Mr EA continues to be a bloody rock!

OWW high hopes for Alphascot

48 is this the woman who didn't want a bf, who tried to shake him off once a week? He's a true keeper, I hope you are very happy together for a long, long time whatever you might do.

i swap numbers and google them, although often i don't have their second names. also some people have common names!

don't like daily "how are you?" or "chat" texts but just for arranging, i had one guy text me constantly so was tempted to cancel meet, then i thought "ok give him a chance". but he was appalling on date, will have to remember that, stop thinking "its a numbers game" and filter out better!

interestingly enough, i think more often the googling has made me "too optimistic" about meeting them, and then a let down in person.

(google secret mound man and "wow" i thought, very impressive. i'm in awe!

in person, ).

Yep that was me Juliette You just can't keep a good man down.

Lorna I uncovered something truly awful about someone by googling - only did it out of idle curiosity. But I'm going to make sure I check people out now if I have any interest in them as I'd hate to be caught by something like that again. Alpha seems to be what it says on the tin so far anyway

I wouldn't care if someone checked me out as I've nothing to hide, but I think the friending someone on FB or keep checking what they're up to is a bit different once you've confirmed they are who and what they say they are. Bloody FB Nora bet you're wishing you'd never listened to that Tigsy!

Think Alpha is a bit pissed, has just sent long email making references to having someone to cuddle up with and very enthusiastically asking if I will see him again next week - course I bloody will! I would see him tomorrow but I'm not going to tell him that.

haha *winefiend" unfortunately i'm too boring to get courted by tvchix! all the years OD and i've never even got a cock shot, i think most men look at me and fantasise about having 5 minutes friendly sex in the missionary position and then falling asleep of course i am not bitter about the last guy i dated, not at all

i just think its a bit weird when i meet someone for the first time and "know" how fast they ran in a marathon, or what their sister looks like! feels a bit too intimate, especially as about 10000000 people in asia share my name so i have no google presence!

awesome news 48 its lovely how often good things just happen without any planning!

whoop whoop to tipsy cute e-mails OWW

48 arf at 'good man down'

Ah hahahaha , yeah but you dared me Tigysy - I'm helpless in the face of a dare ! ( my excuse and I'm sticking to it )

48 - have you just suggested you might want to marry R&R ? - mad hat dash. Great news about your mum too.

Wine - I'm assuming Crown Court was due to work and not due to you being an armed robber being sent down for a ten stretch.

Is this interminable football never going to end? Not even their thighs are holding my interest.

God no Kin No idea how Im going to change from Miss Untainable ever. To Miss Take me now and forever. Oh bugger!

I have to say 48 that seeing the journey of your relationship with R&R has been one of the single most heartwarming and lovely things about this thread ( Ike's dalliance with Dr Angel Delight being the other, obv )

Is that a crime now Wine ? - you been found guilty, guilty of love in the first degree ?
