More hmmming from me, bloke on OKC I'm talking to has just suggested he's been one of my patients - I feel slightly weird about that

Snapespeare · 10/08/2013 14:41

Placemark, no news here. Good luck to daters, 'ahw!' At the loved-ups.

Kids off to their grandparents on Monday, so nameless due at mine Wednesday-weekend, we might go away for a few days. We're both still all smiley-happy. [vom]

Lovely people, I'm just about to I hide my POF profile for a while again, would anyone like to have a look?

Have already had some really useful comments from a couple of you, thank you Thanks

Djangounhinged · 10/08/2013 14:48

*unhide, not I hide...

Bant · 10/08/2013 14:50

Django - PM me the link

KinNora · 10/08/2013 15:11

Sorry Django I'm not a PoFer but I can do okc if that helps anyone

Djangounhinged · 10/08/2013 15:15

Thanks Bant, have PMd you.

Kin thanks, I'll reactivate my OKC profile so you can have a look - it's the same as my POF one in any case :)

Have had a couple of interesting messages on the back of unhiding my profile this morning - both quite local too. One uses txt spk which I'm not fond of, but I'll chat away to him and see how it goes. The other seems really quite lovely.... Grin

KinNora · 10/08/2013 15:46

'Really quite lovely' - excellent Django

Djangounhinged · 10/08/2013 16:34

Oh dear. Txt spkr is a former pro-footballer.... I am powerless to resist told you I was shallow, I'm not proud of it

BillMasen · 10/08/2013 16:39

django pm me your user name. I'll not add any constructive comments but I'm nosy....

grinchie · 10/08/2013 16:49

Just why is his nickname Navy?

scrazy · 10/08/2013 16:56

Hi, just checking in. Welcome newbies. If anyone wants to PM me I can have a look at POF profiles. I would reciprocate but mine is very short and I don't have a photo.

On the subject of photo's. I noticed on POF that men aren't allowed private images, only women, of which I have one that I send to people I like if they ask. Is that right? It says because of nudity issued, i.e. cock pics. I had a message off someone calling himself 'naughty something or other'. His profile says he isn't looking for any kind of relationship and he asked to see my picture and he would send me one. Yeah right pal, I bet it's not off his face.

KinNora · 10/08/2013 17:09

Ah, the Phantom Penis Photographers Scrazy. I don't know about PoF but the photo I had on okc of my roast potatoes (not a euphemism) was reported and removed.

scrazy · 10/08/2013 17:28

Grin at Roast Potatoes.

akaWisey · 10/08/2013 17:37

I'm back off the sofa.

Date from a couple of weeks ago who cancelled due to the rain (WTF) phoned me this morning Hmm. He's def interested in meeting me, apparently. Wanted to meet today but I've got a first date tonight with Wembley man.

So Rain Man talks like this? Every sentence ends as if he's asking a question? Like, he's done this and done that? Most irritating. Plus he split with his GF in March? Red flag there. I shan't be meeting him.

Wembley Man has tickets to see a group who were big back in the day and I loved them.
It would be really nice if he's one of the good ones. Haven't had much luck OD so far?.Sad

justmeandmytwo · 10/08/2013 17:37

Hey Grinchie, he's in the Navy original eh :)

grinchie · 10/08/2013 17:50

Thanks, Just I wrote that post & thought 'hmmm I wonder if I've crossed the line by asking that?'

I asked because my man is in the forces, he knows some of his colleagues use POF for extra marital meet ups etc.
That + the Travelodge made me think hmmm.

That said I came to this thread about the same time as I met him, I ignored all advice on here (early threads) about being aware of people who say they are officers, but he actually was.
It's good to be aware, but not prejudiced, I think.

Besides, a date is a date Smile
I hope it goes well.

justmeandmytwo · 10/08/2013 18:00

No, not crossed the line at all. I did wonder myself when we first started talking, I worked out it was beginning of May. But, he has offered to host dinner at his a couple of times which I thought was a positive sign? He does seem genuine enough and has talked about his children. But then I really know very little about him in the grand scheme of things. Any advice really is welcome though, the nerves are kicking in already, oh dear, and with a week to go!

grinchie · 10/08/2013 19:05

just Offering to cook for you is a good sign as far as him being single, but don't take him up on it yet!
I understand about the nerves, I get them terribly but professionally I am known for being calm in distressing/difficult situations, what is that about?

Snapespeare · 10/08/2013 19:17

Nameless asked for a lock of my hair is this weird?! Or old school romantic?! Does he want to clone me?

KinNora · 10/08/2013 19:21

My vote is for old school romantic, my dad still has a lock of my mum's hair from 1965, he used to keep it in his wallet.

Bant · 10/08/2013 19:22

Voodoo?

grinchie · 10/08/2013 19:30

Who do?

Snapespeare · 10/08/2013 19:31

Shall be extra-specially careful about any inclinations to kill the president of Malaysia over the next couple of weeks...

at kins dad. That's lovely. :-

scrazy · 10/08/2013 19:35

I don't think it's a bad sign Snape Grin.
