No judginess, no shoutiness. Nuff said.

On way home from date with Mr Niceguy. Feel like a teenager, somebody pinch me. I have to work tomorrow (today!) or there'd be no way I was going home alone.

.

Sounds fab, OneDay :)

Feel even worse today.
And more resolute.
I'm sitting here in tears and he hasn't even done anything. It's all in my head.
I just don't think I'm ready for this.

Right smallfeet has just left, had a very nice evening

Feel the relationship (if you can call it that after 2 and a bit months?!) has moved forward a bit, we are now fb friends - although his fb page is so boring, hardly any pictures! Have also discussed him meeting my dd soon, maybe in a couple of weeks. We even got the diary out and looked for a possible weekend that we could have a mini break on

Yay me Am also ridiculously excited that for the first time in six years I will have a date for Valentines!!!!

Folk - I hope today is a better day

Can someone answer something for me, someone I know claims she never pays for dating sites and POF is free but just registered and will not allow me to send or receive messages unless I pay ( only winks). OKCupid is free so ok, new too all this and want to keep the cost down. Please advise

Have a date in an hour! Have had one phone conversation which went well, seems to have a sense of humour....not sure of the overall compatibility as we do seem quite different, he's all 'babe' in texts and I'm very much not into calling anyone that, just isn't me, but think he's worth meeting at least. Am a bit nervous and really feel like cancelling but know I can't. Arrgh!

Girlefriend....sounds very promising :0)
Blossom...pof is free. You can upgrade though.
Hansel....let us know how the date goes.

Jarlin I've found that too, out of say 10 matches only 1 has stayed within the distance I set and he didn't reply to my message! so not impressed really!

I need some advice, after deleting Mr Mixed Messages' number a couple of weeks ago, he called me at 2am on Friday, drunk. He said he's missed me, and was thinking of me, and didn't know where he stood among other things I'm going out with work on Saturday and going to a bar that I know he'll be in, I want to talk to him but feel as though that conversation can't be the last communication between us because I have a feeling that he'll be embarrassed by what he said, if he remembers it at all! Should I bring up the conversation or just ask him if he had a nice weekend or something to show him that I'm not embarrassed and pretend it never happened?!

Worst date in a very long time, I didn't fancy him at all, there was zero warmth from him and I immediately felt awkward, he asked nothing about me and sort of sat back and waited for me to open the conversation. Lots of silences that were filled by me. Coffee drunk and boy was I glad to go! I should have trusted my gut re the texts and not bothered.

Jarlin I would pretend nothing happened.

Sorry, should have said Crow !

Folkgirl You deserve this, you know. You deserve to be happy and have someone care about you. You may have covered this before but have you had any counselling? It may help.

Blossom POF is definitely free to send and receive messages. I use it and have never paid.

Jarlin Tinder is a pain for that. It uses your phone/iPad location to match you distance-wise but it's not always accurate. That said, I met Mr Coffee Shop on Tinder, which leads me on to...

...I have a third date with Mr Coffee Shop tonight. We were going to go out but I can't get a sitter so he's coming here for beer and a film. Bit nervous as I dislike hosting at the best of times but I'm sure it'll be fine.

Hansel....sorry he was not suitable. Next!!!!!

Jarlin.....I'm kind of getting red flags waving with Mr Number 4! I'm not sure. He fluctuates between the 4 calls on Thursday night, 3 calls and texts on Friday....to only texting in reply to mine all weekend. We didn't see each other this weekend due to his work and my child care. Today he text and said he'd speak to me later on...I'm still waiting! A few other little thingsim not sure about.....I like him but I need someone normal (if there is such a thing) after my ex!
Also my ex turned up with the children on Saturday and was very charming and complimentary. He ended up staying for tea.
I'm very confused all round!!

Next indeed Flora! I'm at a loss really with the whole thing but not about to give up just yet. Number 4 (mentioned him before) has been in touch again OL, I casually asked if he had met anyone yet and he says he's too busy but I'm one of the ones he liked...I'm flabbergasted at the arrogance, that I might have been a chosen one had he not been too busy!! Why in heavens name is he on a bleedin dating site?? I've not replied.

Flora I think maybe your ex is playing a bigger part in your niggles about number 4 than you may realise, unfinished business perhaps? It's hard to get into someone else if you still have feelings for an ex.
What other things are you not sure about with number 4?

Jarlin and Kitty hope you enjoy your dates tonight, looking forward to updates!

I texted Mr MM asking him how his weekend was and no reply. Why did he have to call me, just...why?! I could have happily continued thinking he wasn't bothered.

I'm going to delete POF I think, my customer from work just messaged me to point out that he knows where I work There's no-one I'm interested in on there, it's always the same people online all the time. I'm going to stay traditional, get really plastered on Saturday with work mates and pull anything that moves

Just a quick update, as I got home from Paris about 30 minutes ago. Very emotional goodbye to geeky - we were both nearly crying even though we see each other on Tuesday. It was amazing to have a whole weekend together and we've just got closer. I love him more each time, it's amazing, but when I'm not with him - we miss each other desperately.

Wavity wave everyone

Dont YAY
Crow PMSL keeping it traditional
H&G Frog....Next

Quick update, had coffee date that turned into dinner with a very interesting chap. Date 2 TBA I just need to get my head around my diary and next week is hectic.

Dont Sounds fantastic! Did you get to enjoy the sights of Paris or were you too busy gazing at each other?

My date went well tonight. He came over, we had a beer and watched a film, then snogged on the sofa like teenagers [which we are far from being]. He hinted, no actually he stated, that he'd like to stay over. I said no . I was tempted but it's too soon and I'm taking this one slowly. We're meeting tomorrow afternoon for a quick coffee and he also mentioned me going to his for wine and food, so it's looking promising.
