Seeing as thread 65 is now full.
Nothing to report here. I'm still in almost daily contact with MrK but due to his work was not able to meet this weekend. We're hoping to arrange something for this coming weekend, so fingers crossed. I keep reminding myself that every-other weekend is fine, but it just seems such a long wait in between 
Seeing as I'm trying to keep my cool and my plan was only for something casual, I'm still looking for more dates. But there's no-one I like online at the moment [sigh]

O.kay so having decided I wouldn't text him last night I cracked at about 11pm and text him 
just said 'hi not sure whats going on as haven't heard from you for a couple of days, are we still on for drinks fri night?'
He text back pretty quick, apologised and said that work had been 'mad' and yes he was still on for tonight.
So it looks like date 4 is still on - eek!
He still doesn't know I am childfree all night though 
which reminds me I really should be clearing up not mumsnetting!!

Off to meet Mr Rich soon for first date. Meeting in a public, but unfamiliar (to me), setting so a tiny bit more anxious than I'd usually be. But generally calm and taking it in my stride

Hormonal - not my place at all to say this I know but... ditch, ditch, ditch. He is unreliable and messing with your feelings - you know you deserve better.
Girlie - have fun and let us know if it's a sleepover date!
Pyjama - how did date go?
Sorceress - It's hard but you try to follow 'the rules' and don't let yourself get emotionally attached until you've met lots of times. OD requires a very thick skin at times!
I have deleted my POF profile - it felt liberating! I need a break from it all, I'm feeling jaded and a bit grumpy! Going to date myself for a while I'll stick around and poke my nose in give advice for a while though!

Super, hopefully you'll have one or two RL encounters over Xmas to help get your mojo back on track

Sorry to hear that Hormonal, had you accepted the date yet? How was it left between you?
Maybe this has happened for a reason though, mrbrowneyes could turn out to be a slow boiler

Hi all. So after giving up on it, I'm back on POF. But starting to wonder if I should give match or my single friend a go instead. Is anyone else on either of those?
I'm messaging someone on POF at the moment who seems ok - he's not setting my world on fire, but in my experience, when they do, it's often a disappointment when you meet them in real life.
I was messaging someone else but haven't replied to his last message as he asked me to tell him something about me that no one else on the planet knows. I couldn't think of anything either deep and profound, or hilariously funny to say, and thought maybe we weren't on the same wavelength anyway so I haven't replied. But maybe I've judged too quickly...! Although he's also bald and I can't decide how I feel about that
So girls, do any of you send the first message or do you wait to be messaged?

Sole - I think its best to just not involve yourself on any level with guys - even its only ever going to be online - who have no interest/are weird etc. You deserve better than that.
girlie - get well soon.
Super - enjoy the sofa for a while.
Queen - I was in a LTR with a guy who talked a lot. As I'm a good listener this meant he did all the talking and I did all the listening and I got so resentful as it was all him, him, him. Recently heard this way of being described a conversation masturbation which I think summed it up self absorbed tosser
My date yesterday with Mr Rich went alright. I didn't fancy him, but I never do. He was nice but I'm aware I haven't bothered checking the site or my OD phone ( I have one just for OD 
) to check if he wants a second date - I'm not that fussed one way or the other.
