Perhaps refine your search options Magic and everyone has 'baggage' of some sort, even you.

Magicman1 · 16/12/2014 00:22

True Minmooch although I don't have much baggage

Magic I'm 33 and prefer to date similar age, find more in common. Did date a 25 yr old, he mentioned he watched power rangers as a kid and Pokemon as a kid.
I have found it hard to find men in my age group, Major Tom is first man in 6 months of old that's only a couple of years older than myself.
I think pof is the best for me.

Morning, blimey go away for 5 minutes and some heated discussions.
Mr Football called a couple of times and texted, said I had a friend over and could not talk. I need a bit of space, if he had not been so gushing I think I would carry on seeing him but I am worried he is getting deep far too quickly. I actually do not want to hurt him.

IMNOTYOURBABES · 16/12/2014 10:13

New Thread!!! Whoooo Hoooo! !

I need to catch up....
I'm on okcupid now after getting bored of the same faces on POF. I have found that there are far more 'unusual' types on OKC - I was chatting to a giant baby last night. Nice guy but the nappies & babygrows are not really my thing.

Then there was the guy who after a couple of days convo asked if I was on drugs maybe he's a fellow MNer

Blossomflowers · 16/12/2014 10:16

Imno I have found OK Cupid full of very strange people does my head in.

IMNOTYOURBABES · 16/12/2014 10:17

& what's with the constant requests to Skype???

IMNOTYOURBABES · 16/12/2014 10:20

Hi Blossom Mr F sounds a bit too much, not worth all the stress ...

Blossomflowers · 16/12/2014 10:59

What with all the request from boys young enough to be my son, offering all sorts.

Blossomflowers · 16/12/2014 11:25

imnoHe keeps sending me texts saying he is missing so much so badly. The more he pushes the more I pull away.

Have decided to spend Xmas with X and enjoying planning our menu, we both love good food. We are going Xmas shopping tog on Thursday, total madness probably

gottafindaman4yagirl · 16/12/2014 11:56

I'm on Ok cupid and had a message from a beautiful man today who's profile is so interesting, he actually commented on my good taste in music instead of my looks. But he's 26 and too young for me, he really is handsome.
Have had son disgusting messages on OK, some really gross men and its the young and older guys. And what's insightful is that I got the most sexually graphic messages when I had no picture on site.
Was called a whore on POF by a knuckle dragger because I didn't reply.
Major Tom is more ott than I have dealt with but my exh was a emotional cripple.
Blossom Sounds like you put a spell on Mr Football , if he is stressing you out then its definitely not worth it.
Major T is giving me a lift to an appointment I have tomorrow, I don't drive and it was nice of him to offer. We are having lunch tomorrow.

gottafindaman4yagirl · 16/12/2014 12:00

Blossom I must be mad too, my exh is over Xmas and he's got me some presents. I know we'll end up listening to our favourite cds and talking about old times. I must remind myself that we don't work together anymore.

Blossomflowers · 16/12/2014 12:23

gotta loopy isn't it. But then I know we will have a good time, lots of chat, drinks good food, better that then sitting on our own.
Have a 2nd date potentially with Mr Builder for weekend, he is opposite to Mr Football, was very keen after 1st date said he thought I was really hot but it has been sporadic texts and he seems to be playing it cool. Said he is major busy at work.

SuperFlyHigh · 16/12/2014 12:29

One Q - ages ago when I first started OLD the general advice was not to use free sites and use ones where you pay as if you pay (esp men) you'll be more serious... in how you view things in terms of relationships (eg you won't waste your time/money etc).

I've since found that with Kent Lad to be a load of bollocks anyway... but not sure whether he got a free site or offer.

Anyway what do you think? Smooch is free though you can upgrade.

Blossomflowers · 16/12/2014 12:40

super I not sure it makes much difference OKCupid and exception though as this site seems attract more than it fair share of idiots. Thinking of going just back to free sites in the new year

MadeMan · 16/12/2014 12:50

"What with all the request from boys young enough to be my son, offering all sorts."

Nowt wrong with being given liquorice.

gottafindaman4yagirl · 16/12/2014 12:55

Blossom I am not keen on men playing it cool, either you like me and you let me know or piss off. Going from loads of text to one a day, breadcrumbs. There should be some pattern to texting, a kind of rhythm.
Texting with MT is easy.

SuperFlyHigh · 16/12/2014 13:43

Blossom yes OKCupid isn't on my list of sites but judging what I've heard here I'll give it a wide berth in future!

Blossomflowers · 16/12/2014 13:44

GottaI have asked him to call me tonight, he might be really busy but I need someone who wants tomake time, I might be wrong but he does not seem that bothered so neither am I. Will see what he has to say for himself tonight. Talk about extremes

SuperFlyHigh · 16/12/2014 13:57

ha - so far I am having 2 communications with Men on Smooch, a french man who seems very nice and today a gorgeous man who seems to have actually read my profile and liked it... in fact he seems too gorgeous for this site.

The OLD after today is actually making me have a bit of belief in it after all. don't let me speak too soon!

BlossomBest make judgment on Builder when you see him. I suppose not everyone likes texting.
Been chatting yo the georgous man on OK, chatting is so easy flowing. He seems very intelligent and mature for his age. Comes from same town I grew up in.
Still he's probably not what I am looking for, must not be blinded by looks and great taste.

Blossomflowers · 16/12/2014 14:41

Gotta Well Mr Builder just called and we have a dinner date arranged for Saturday night. I really liked him last time, 2nd date always interesting though. Sounds like you are not putting your eggs in one basket with MT then

MysteryMan1 · 16/12/2014 14:51

Bit of an update-it's become a bit like buses for me in these past few weeks.

OLD started off pretty bad but I seem to have met a couple of great women from it. Also seeing my optician which was quite random and now met a gal at a wedding I went to a couple of weeks back.

I physically cannot keep up and need to make a decision but God it has never been so hard. Not had this problem before and it is actually pretty tough...what have I done?!!
