Dating thread 77

[neiljames77]

Just got in from my holiday and saw that 76 was full.

The man has issues. He needs help/counselling but of course he won't seek it and continue to go crashing through lives and being rejected.

He's text me quite a bit this morning saying he can't stop crying and how he's ugly and stupid, he's had it women, then I log onto POF and there he is online!!! What a wanker.

knitted the leg wax was for me, not him!

Goodness he definitely has issues louby. Are u replying at all to his messages?

Folk and jarlin how are things?

I needed a good talking to this morning about mr pof. I just can't help myself I have gotten in deep quickly.y best friend in rl gave me the talking to I needed. Basically mini get over yourself! I will be absolutely gutted if this goes wrong.

It's so hard not to have feelings fast for someone, though, Mini isn't it? I wish I was one of those people who were tough and unsentimental but I can't cope with having feelings for someone. I'm starting to realise my self-esteem is really low even though I thought I was so confident. OLD is def not for me at the moment!

mini no I've stopped replying now. It's just making it worse for him.

It's another 'put it down to experience' situations. I thought he was normal - how wrong was I???

He told me that the first time he met me he felt like he'd been hit by a lightning bolt he was so attracted to me!!

Hi! May I join? Feeling a bit nervous about dipping my toe so to speak!

voodoomunkee - I think you can see from a lot of posts on here that you can only take things at face value. You're probably best going into it expecting the worst. That way, you won't be too disappointed if your date has snakeskin trousers, no teeth, starts choosing names for your future kids on the 2nd date and 'when he said on his profile that he was 43, he meant in horse years'.

Sounds much like my usual dates! I haven't even decided on sites to use. So just added to a couple and see how we go!

I'm going to be a little disappointed if I dont get at least 1 snakeskin trousers type date!!

Think that's best idea louby. He just tried way way too hard.

Knitted I think it is so hard as you have to invest emotionally if you are going to get something out of it. I am also someone who doesn't want to be alone. I want to share things with someone else. There are plans for things mutually made for sept, icy and November. I just need to take a step back and slow myself down so as not to burn out. Easier said than done

Oh........holding up a fish seems quite popular too, voodoomunkee.
I think the general consensus is that POF seems the most popular.

Yep PoF is up and running. Shall I just wait til they beat a path to my door now then? ! [Wink]

(That's the men apparently that hold fish up btw. I've never come across a woman's profile pic doing anything like that.)

I'm not holding fish for anyone!

Made the fatal error of reading Bridget Jones and now am all like right! I need a man!! Left on shelf!!

Have to admit it would be nice to meet someone some day.

Single what an awful turn of events. It's bad enough when they turn out nothing like you hoped but the FB thing sounds quite alarming.

Louby that's just suffocating. At least you found out before the oxytocin was unleashed.

Hi thinking about having a other go at OD and wondering what sites people are using and finding ok, I tried POF before but found it a bit grim but other ones like Guardian Soulmates have lots of men around my age (mid forties) who want younger women to have children with!
Is there one with more normal down to earth types on at all?

Well I like Pof the best and I'm early 40's.

Been on a date today, had to take my 18 month old son. Went ok I thought n he text after to say was nice to meet but then I asked if he'd like to do it again to which it took him 3 hours to reply saying 'yes he would but didn't think I would' eh????!! Why take so long to reply with that??

I was going to give guardian soulmates a go. Am 35. Got all the kids I intend to give birth to so I'll not be looking for a man to have kids with!!

I just don't know what am going to find out there! Should be interesting anyway

I only tried POF but I liked it. Didn't send any first messages and had a couple of weird ones but most seemed normal.

Only tried pof and match and pof wins hands down and it's free!

Think you need o be a bit wary of taking your child on first dates really, especially after hearing Singlesocks story!

Yes I keep my kids and dating completely separate! I know it can be awkward with child care and stuff but how can you concentrate on your date with kids there. Plus the older they get the more confused they will be!

Well yes I wouldn't let my older children meet him obviously but my 18 month is hardly going to know or even care who he is. Yes I struggle with child care so can be a problem at times

I'm quite shocked at that, you know. It would never have occurred to me to take a baby/child with me on a date :o

That was meant to be a face!

It wasn't really a date as such, just a meet in the park see if we liked one another. Not ideal I know but if he was older and understood then I wouldn't
