Hello and welcome.

OP posts:
neiljames77 · 12/05/2014 10:31

Maisie0 - I doubt very much I would have ended up in a relationship with her but I don't want a woman who's got a partner already. She shouldn't have done that. That pub was really busy and if someone tells her bf he/she saw her messing about with me, there could be a situation from it.

Turnedouttoes - That is brilliant!!! He must copy and paste that to every woman. Grin

Neil - logged onto Match Crapfinity first time in ages, checked my who's viewed me - there was the man I'd viewed, messaged a few weeks ago….

why the F is he bothering to view my profile again?!

neiljames77 · 12/05/2014 11:26

SuperFlyHigh - I think it must be standard behaviour on these sites to keep trawling through profiles. I only spent 1 day on one. It was my own fault for setting such wide parameters otherwise I'd have emailed Badoo and told them that I think they're being really cheeky thinking that some of these are suitable matches for me.

SuperFlyHigh · 12/05/2014 11:36

Neil - he's already got the thumbs down now anyway!

jesy · 12/05/2014 11:44

SuperFlyHigh · 12/05/2014 11:46

jesy · 12/05/2014 12:42

Just not like him it's ok
I am used to this

MyChildDoesntNeedSleep · 12/05/2014 13:25

turned I would give the copper another chance. You'd be amazed at how many people react badly when police officers tell them their job online. He's probably had it a lot...and you're probably now another person confirming what he has experienced. He'll probably resort to lying about his job eventually!

Re the guy who sent that big marriage with kids scenario, what a long-winded way of saying all he's after is sex! That's who you should be blocking!

Minime85 · 12/05/2014 13:39

turned I can't believe someone actually sent that. what a load of crap.

TalisaMaegyr · 12/05/2014 13:57

I'm really surprised anyone thinks that C&P paragraph that someone sent turned is funny Confused Worraprick!

whitedoorbell · 12/05/2014 14:00

mrwallet hope yr ok?

turned that was pure random!!!

neil try online again. you might get dame edna everidge this time Wink

Maisie0 · 12/05/2014 14:10

Turned I agree. I read the comment more of a "why did you pause after I said this, is it because this is a negative thing?" than him deliberately saying it to push you away. i.e. a sarky comment.

Maisie0 · 12/05/2014 14:15

Neil Gosh, reading your post brought back memories of uni days for me. I can understand why OD can be more direct, and more specific. But you would think that, as a decent person, that she would say or ask ? Or maybe you can ask next time too ? "Do you have a bf ?"

I used to find this question quite blunt, but now I can see why it is so relevant. Most people would say something like "how come a good looking girl like you do not have a bf...".. i.e. They would fish to find out if I was taken or not. Than use a blunt way, cos then I would run a mile.

neiljames77 · 12/05/2014 14:27

Maisie0 - She set the wheels in motion so I just assumed she was available. I can't remember what we talked about or what I asked her. We were both a bit pissed.

Maisie0 · 12/05/2014 14:49

Neil Eee by gum. What are you like ? So now it's avoid young girl, and avoid Denim Short Pants ?

DeliberatelyDreaming · 12/05/2014 15:00

Text this morning: How are you, how's your weekend been?
Reply: I'm fine, you know how my weekend has been, you've been talking to me all of it. Confused

I always arrange the first date as I just want a coffee and I want it local, so if I arrange it, then it suits me. Smile

MrWalletwithMothsonboard · 12/05/2014 15:06

Thank you White doorbell, think I have a bit of depression. Maybe see doctor next week-

jesy · 12/05/2014 15:20

Think he don't want to know had this before part of me hopes he forgot his fone ect
I'd rather be told to p off

whitedoorbell · 12/05/2014 15:40

mrwallet be kind to yourself. xx

FolkGirl · 12/05/2014 16:54

Turned A lot of people react really badly to the police. I'd also think it was a bit of a jokey response rather than an unpleasant sarky one.

I went on a date with a muslim man. It wasn't obvious from his photos or by the way he'd shortened his name.

He'd had some very negative reactions when revealing this fact - women he'd been emailing just disappeared and other women he'd been IMing with left the conversation and blocked him!

I did suggest that he was better of screening out arses like this before meeting them and he said that he hoped that someone would get to know him before they just saw A Muslim.

We had a really lovely evening and what started off as a quick coffee at 5pm ended up with me getting home at 1.30am and was almost 3 dates in one. We didn't see each other again, but that was for reasons I'm not prepared to disclose. He was the man I met who would have had a "I went on this one date..." bad date story. And it was all my fault

Pity, he was quite cute and rather sexy and a very good kisser...

My point being that when people have had negative reactions to something about themselves, it does tend to make them a little defensive in the future because they don't want to be judged negatively unnecessarily.

itwillgetbettersoon · 12/05/2014 18:05

Tuned - I would have read that as a joke too.

DeliberatelyDreaming · 12/05/2014 18:22

Turned If I had received that message I would have run a mile. It sounds to me like he is offering a FB relationship. Not for me at all.

Pinklaydee1302 · 12/05/2014 20:47

Ah well I've been dumped for being insecure. When someone is on Facebook at 1.00am when they said goodnight to you at 10.00 then you might just wonder if they got someone else on go. There were other little things too.....

Onwards and upwards Hmm

Bigbird01 · 12/05/2014 20:55

Oh oh! I got a message early this morning from the chap I was talking to last night (going to call him Mr Sailor - yes, he's in the navy - has a uniform and everything!! Smile).
I didn't pick it up until I got home so replied, but nothing back as yet. However, he's just come on line. Feel like a teenager.... Argh!!!

FolkGirl · 12/05/2014 20:55

Sounds like a lucky escape to me, Pink.

Doesn't feel great though, does it? Sad
