[MadeMan]

Hello and welcome.

Update on my situation: Oh my goodness. This crazy man has just created a 6th profile and messaged me AGAIN !

I need to be direct, right? I didn't want to hurt him. He was coming out with all kinds of flowery compliments before, but as I was falling for my ex. I don't know if he mistook that as my response to him ?

.< !! OMG. He created a profile with full body naked pics?!?
Nutcase...

Block and keep blocking Maisie.

I didn't think naked photos were approved.

Not that I tried, I just read the Ts & Cs and had to wait 24 hours for mine to be approved.

POF don't do that Handful you just upload them and they're there.

Hi Jarlin - I don't think you were an afterthought at all or have anything to be angry about, I always view being invited out with mates as a positive thing. It means he's comfortable with you no?

DD

I'm clearly on a classier site

People are scaring me...

Lol handful I do think POF is the bottom of the barrel, that said I have had some dates with decent men from there. I have also made two fantastic male friends from POF so maybe shouldn't slate it.

I am being chatted up by a really nice chappie, we are arranging a date. That's made my cough and cold seem less of a pain.

I thought I was bad with seeing tights_sniffer as a user name. I couldn't imagine nude shots on a dating site.

I've blocked now. Blocked blocked. I think I will also block him from my memory too. Done with. Can't dwell on this.

Let's turn the topic back to dating.

Jarlin Do you not want to meet his friends yet ? Well, well done for keeping to together for now. Cos maybe he wanted you to meet with his friends as well, like a "this is the girl I am seeing everybody". One thing I came to realise in my dating life is whether a man is willing to introduce you to his friends and family. In a way, it shows you he is genuine, real and solid. That is what I think anyway.

Sorry, I will make an effort to read back our other messages. But from what you said about the romantic candle thing and him asking you, I think he seems to be checking to see if you like him like him in a kind of committed way I guess.

It reminded me of my ex, when he tried to do this romantic thing as well, until he also relaxed a lot. It just felt awfully "too trying"... I think he means well. It was better than his sarcasm in the very beginning.

Jarlin Hm. Good point actually. I wonder if he has thought of that, to invest in the relationship.

jarlin more hugs. is shit when you look at things in the cold grey light of day and don't like what you see.

do you think it is over?

gotta say what you are describing reminds me alot of my xp and the poor guy had terrible problems with self confidence etx and also ED.
in the end even though I knew he loved me to bits he wasn't right for me.
I thought I could change him and when it was over I felt inadequate because I wasn't special enough to make him put things right and make the next step with us.
I realise now that it wasn't the right thing. doing OLD has made me see that there is more to life
you need to believe that yoi aren't right for each other. he can't give you what you need and you can't give him what he needs. .. simple as that xxxx

Jarlin scarey freaked out earlier today cos she accidently sent her man a pic by text which showed her computer with internet open and you could see the thread title at the top.

She freaked thinking that he would look at the thread... cos it's all public at the end of the day, and think that she was out of order discussing their life online I guess...

So she went to MNHQ and asked for all her posts to be deleted...

I can see why she freaked. Let's hope she is ok and all is well

I also just wanted to say a big thank you ladies for responding. It kind of kept me focused on blocking. And it grounded me a bit too. My ex also happened to be online too.

maisie you are more than welcome

I'm watching telly with boat man well, we're a couple of miles apart.

We're meeting for coffee

handful

Year younger than me

Makes up for the crude 65 year old!

The guy and I who I have been chatting with tonight have now moved to speaking via text. We want to arrange a date but I am wary of snotting and sneezing all over him. I may just have to buy a surgical mask and go.
