Psssst Daters over here !!
Come share your stories good and bad

It sounds great Jesy . The secret to being happy with someone is when you can be happy with yourself - or along those lines. I would rather be in on my own than out with people who make me feel worse. A big Happy Birthday from me and some and

Mr Actor has gone abroad for a few days and we won't be in touch whilst he is gone - he has an old fashioned phone and time zones etc. I am interested to see if I will miss our daily chats (am sure I will) but also if it makes us see in which direction this friendship might go. I have a difficult couple of weeks leading up to the birthday of my son who passed away. I don't want to make stupid decisions regarding any man whilst I am vulnerable so am grateful for his well timed business break.

jesy Have a happy birthday, bottle of fizzy sounds great.

Have any of your dates become friends? I've been having some fun text chats with Mr Journalist since our date last week. I'm really confused about how I feel about him. It was clear on the date he really liked me - called me beautiful - but I found the whole thing really hard going as it was my first date since my break up (cried buckets the next day). I wasn't sure I fancied him and because he was so keen I friend zoned him. Now we're arranging a coffee for when I get back from holiday. I guess I'll either think yes definitely friends or maybe I'll change my mind if I see him bring a bit more relaxed. What do you think?

gottafindaman Thanks for the encouragement! My kids have just gone off with their dad again - and I'm walking from room to room!!!

May try POF - just thought if I went on a paid sight (apart from wasting my money) there might be less weirdos and men who seriously want to date! Maybe I'll give it ago - I'll check it out now X

Happy birthday Jesy. Hope you have a brilliant day and date.

Happy Birthday jesy hope you have a fab day.

Thank you guys

I'm trying to x
Three happy birthdays of exes fuk,all from so called friends x

jolly I did match and paid for a month, rubbish and I got no dates but time wasters. POF I found best and alot more variety.

I find POF fine. I've not upgraded just free site. The only issue now is that I don't seem to be able to see "who wants to meet you". I receive the notifications but says I have to upgrade. Otherwise I've met some very nice men on the site AND no dodgy photos yet!

Oh FFS... Just had a conversation all afternoon with a scam artist!

GORGEOUS pics, turns out to be pictures of Don't Ask Don't Tell campaigner Victor Fehrenbach.

So right click the images people and Search Google for this image.

POF btw, but am chatting to another guy, says he works at Waitrose, lives in Bracknell. Think I am safe there... NOONE lies about living in Bracknell.

WOW, i just reported him, and it's GONE already!

Those mods don't piss about!

Lol re Bracknell hissy I approach with caution when I hear Bracknell. ... but as you know... round here is slim pickings

"...turns out to be pictures of Don't Ask Don't Tell campaigner Victor Fehrenbach."

You sure it was pics of Victor and not pics of Yul Brynner or Richard O'Brien?

NOw that I am a OKCupid Moderatoooorrr... I have learned the joys of GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH.

Just caught another one. Apparently www.enjoygram.com/sergioquintanamaquillador is NOT a world reknowned make up artist. oh no. he's a 46 yo Bloke from hertfordshire, now residing in Crowthorne. Buggers named the profile Battie44 too.

Little fucker fake Victor even offered MORE pics of himself to make me keep emailing him wanted my email address too.

I think I have another scammer, apparently a widower, something really doesn't ring true AT ALL. He has just emailed me, 'have i done something wrong'?

Just call me Hissy the Fake Slayer

Hissy your new job is going to add a whole new dimension of fun for us on here

Thanks Hissy and Steelchic. Actually went out with her again last night and had a really good time, though something is not quite right.

I think I don't find her attractive enough to be honest. She is probably a 7 if that makes sense. Good personality etc but we don't get on as explosively as other girls I have dated.

She is a lot more of a sensible choice but lacking some fun/excitement I guess. Haven't kissed yet but that point is getting very close so need to make my mind up ASAP!

I changed my profile pic yesterday, good image.

it provoked a wave well, ripple of reaction :)

MrFrancais suddenly popped up on my ViewedYou, and I got a Whatsapp hello and Skype request. :) he's fun!

and no I didn't go for 'extreme close up' or nudity :)

Had a nice chat with a MrSA, and a load of Like's i'd clicked turned mutual.

not that they then actually send messages, or even reply to any you've sent... I dispair tbh

Mystery what's your past relationship history like? were your relationships healthy?

what kind of instinctive feeling do you get from her? do you think she feels the same as you, or is she into you?

Can I join in please? Although I'm not sure if I'll stay long. I only split from my husband a month or so ago, he left and I joined an online dating site as a bit of a distraction really. Not to mess anyone around, but I thought a few dates and some nice company might be fun. However, someone has messaged me and I'm panicking a bit. Partly as they don't have a photo and I wonder if he his means they have something to hide? And partly as now I'm thinking maybe it's too soon, way too soon. Then again, I just think maybe it's so long since I've dated that I just feel out of my depth and lacking in confidence and maybe it will be that way whenever I do it?

Hesgone would ignore anyone without a picture and the bull stories they tell about being professional man or having a stalker. They will try and get you to exchange email address or numbers. Probably married man.

I'm not entirely sure that I agree that everyone who has a profile without a photo is suspect. I don't have a profile photo purely because I'm a very private person, but I would obviously let someone have a photo if their profile seemed interesting and we were in a dialogue.

I also don't want ex parties knowing what's going on in my world. I've been single for 3 years but know the mentality of my ex who was highly disordered, abusive and stalkerish before during and afterwards. I'm just not willing to put myself in a place where I'm in anyway a risk in anyway.

So in this matter I would use your instincts, they are seldom wrong. I would also ask to see a photo, bu that's just my opinion.

juju have already nuked 2 impressive, has to be said cock shots

I have had a few long term relationships and a few shorter ones ;.

I am pretty confident and know what I want, or at least what I used to want. She is not like those other women and as a result I am not as attracted to her as the others. However, they all ended and I think I need something different hence a bit unsure at the moment.

She seems very keen if that makes any difference.

you have a great time, she likes you.

i'd give yourself a 5 date limit and see where it gets you.

i'd also suggest not dtd until you're surer about her.

but feel free to ignore me... :)

i've just done my hair and makeup cos I have a skype date later avec MrLeFrancais. le ha le ha le ho he haw

Hissy, think you may be right. I will see how the next date goes and yes I won't dtd unless I am sure...:)

Enjoy your evening...what does a Skype date involve exactly?!!
