Oops that title may have put off newcomers :D

Anyway.... the old thread is dead long live the new!

I think you'll find, OWW that Alpha is very,very lucky to have found you...

Where's bloody 49, the big tease ?

I am willing to put good money on Charlie (formerly STD Man, I'm deferring to your delicate sensibilities) not being the love of my life. One word - 'beige'.

Bant - a medical student in crass, insensitive, boorish behaviour shocker, never seen that before.

Where is 49? I am hoping in a loved-up heap somewhere :)

The nearest Bride Be Lovely ?

YES YES YES

Broken I feel for you, you sound so low. Do you want to deconstruct what "nice" and "crap" mean in your situation? Sometimes what feels like being nice is trying to hard and reading the signs that someone isn't worth it.

God there are some arrogant buggers out there. I got a message on OKC from a local woman, and the site says we're 37% matched, 7% friends, 60% enemies. Plus her photo was impossible to see what she looks like.

Now I don't build my life around dating algorithms, but I have noticed that if someone is highly matched with me, say 90%, we're more likely to get on well if we meet. That's no guarantee of spark, or chemistry, but at least we wouldn't spend the whole time arguing.

I respond to the mail saying thanks but I don't think we're suited. You're a nonsmoking teetotal religious vegetarian who likes rock climbing, I'm none of the above. And specifically she said 'yuck, smokers are horrible'

So then she comes back and argues we don't have to be perfect, she could forgive my smoking and drinking. I respond I'm fine as I am thanks, I don't need to be forgiven by someone I've never met.

She then sends through her Facebook name and says 'look at my photos and see what you've rejected'

And I do, and she looks like a wolverine. Not the superhero, the mammal. Small beady eyes and big teeth.

I thought I should just leave it rather than tell her though.

49? Come on more details

Bant you've misunderstood. "Look what you've rejected" actually meant "I'll be clawing through your front door tonight". She's given you notice, start running.

Oh 49 I'm so pleased for you, congratulations to you both. Cough, I seem to have filled up slightly xxx

It's all small mammals with you, isn't it Bant ? Are you Terry Nutkins ?

Bant He wants to marry me too. I have never been happier

It was just amazing being back where we first met. We danced all night. I got pretty drunk. He said 'We have had our ups and downs, I wouldn't have missed a minute I said I wanted to walk home, still hadn't asked the question. Was passing a bench, I asked him to sit down, kissed him, then asked him. He said YES

That's so lovely 49 , may your life together be full of every happiness.

49 that's fantastic - I'm so pleased for you both. Congratulations.

Aww I'm all misty eyed now.

49 that's wonderful, congratulations. And I love that you decided you wanted it and just asked for it. You're my new MN role model.

He was a little shocked, knowing my views on the subject, ownership and all that. He asked me if I wanted to keep my name. I said I preferred his. A good old Scottish name

Do we have a wedding ?

We do Kitty Feel the need to pinch myself

Oh 49 that is just wonderful. I have honestly got a tear in my eye reading your news. So very, very pleased for both of you. Congratulations!

49. Congratulations!!! . We need dates, venues,catering. Vicarious happiness needs details!

kitty sorry your feeling so low. Nothing to add to the advice from the all-new professional Nora and Wine except to say you were around when I hit the doldrums a couple if weeks ago and it does change. Particularly if you keep posting on here.

Oww just

Bant sorry she spoilt your night, but think of how rough she'll be feeling this morning!

Waves back at Rose

So having failed to take the advice to make it very clear to Poet that I was no longer interested, I received a text saying how much he missed chatting to me - less than 48hrs after our last conversation. I didn't reply, so surely, now he's got the message!

Otherwise, all very quiet on date front - I'm beginning to get very sceptical about this woo stuff!
