Candle light and soul forever
A dream of you and me together
Say you believe it, say you believe it

Free your mind of doubt and danger
Be for real, don't be a stranger
We can achieve it, we can achieve it

Come a little bit closer
Baby, get it on, get it on
'Cause tonight is the night when 2 become 1

Oh crap, the above is my profile ;)

Heh Heh

I am in agreement with Whatsforsupper.
My friend paid top whack to meet " naice" men and was paired off with a bunch of 60 something's. She has just turned forty and is very attractive with a great job.
It's a bloody minefield out there but you got to test the waters .

Thanks Whats and Chilli I'm on pof but haven't really given it a proper try yet but was just wondering if I should be on a different site or even a few. I'm in Scotland (city) I never thought about location making a difference also.

Doc I've just read the thread title after initialy skimming by it. Oh dear!

I've got a job interview next Monday !!!

Had a long chat with Mr post last night , said was worried about the money issue , he said it daft he likes treating me.
And that I keep waiting for it to end , as every relationship I have ends,people seem to leave me , he pointed out that he has never had a girl practically live with him.

Feel a bit more relaxed now , I guess in just insecure about everything

Glad you had the conversation with Mr post jesy now relax and enjoy!

Morning all.
Welcome ifmaybe I am one of old uns am 50 in July, been OLD for a year and had tons of dates, ups and downs.
chilli Don't blame you going on loads of dates I did when I started, once had 2 dates in one day . You have to get in the swing of things, I am a lot more selective now not that is is getting me anywhere.

Everyone bar MR Architect seemed to have vanished but then I am making no effort to contact them, Mr Barge probably thinks I am not interested as I have cancelled 2 dates . don't blame him

Oh and yes POF was down last night for ages

I'm seriously p*ssed off now - Mr Suave (his new name) was supposed to ring me at 8pm last night, waited over an hour no phone call, texted him at 9.20pm no reply...

He had wanted to ring rather than text. And now I see he's online on POF again, although I think they stay logged in. seriously annoyed! He has to study for an exam on Friday though.

newto sounds good re Mr Blind Date a call and meeting arranged is good.

I've had someone else check out my profile we shared messages about a month ago but I don't think he was for me.

Super Have you met this guy? Sorry I loose track

Blossom - no not met this guy yet!

On better news - sometime in April we'll be moving upstairs nearer to MOTS so more chance of bumping into him, he's 34 compared to my 43. yikes!

Super I would not be too annoyed with MR Suave then, I tend to be a bit flakey before I meet someone, maybe he got caught up with someone thing. If you had been on a couple of dates then different story I think

Blossom - you're right I'm not that annoyed just if he wasn't going to ring or text then he could've said... as I was sort of hanging around waiting for a call.

Super quite right not to let Mr Suave waste your time any more! I really want MOTS to step up!

Jesy I'm glad you had a good chat with Mr Post and feel better

Blossom have you organised date with Mr A yet?

Newto Mr BD sounds like an exciting prospect, I'll look forward to an update after you meet

Lurking have you got chatting to anyone new yet?

Ifmaybe welcome to the thread!

Has any one watched that program on channel four about blind dates
It's called first dates

doc Supposed to seeing him tomorrow. Still a bit miffed about such a long drive

Ifmaybe definitely not too old! I'm mid-30s but sometimes I think that makes it harder as I'm in the in between bit when most people are settled. Many who will eventually divorce haven't done it yet! So I think in some ways 40s/50s is a good time and at least you don't have the "do they/I want kids?" question to deal with!

Newto Mr blind date sounds great. So good if you can get friend approved ones I think :). Hope he is lovely irl.

Jesy yes, I love that programme. I part cringe for them but am hooked on it. Glad you had a good chat with Mr Post and good luck for the interview!

Blossom good luck for tomorrow, hope he's lovely. I can't remember how far away he is?

Chilli I'm impressed with 5 dates in 12 days! Yep, you do have to kiss a lot of frogs.

super how irritating on Mr Suave. He could've at least texted. Good news on MOTS though . Nothing wrong with an age gap I think :).

Whatsfor your description of Soumates made me smile - I agree. My boss uses the Telegraph one (which includes Classic FM, the Independent and a few others I think - htey have different outer designs but the same people on all) but I didn't really like the look of many men and feel it is pointless to pay for fewer options than on POF/OKC!

Blossom well if you drive tomorrow he can use public transport to get to your area next time! (if you like him enough for a next time )

doc It is a 40 min drive through country lanes, trouble is there is not public transport around here so going make things tricky

I guess where I live I have to drive at least thirty minutes to get anywhere so it doesn't bother me.. LMN is five hours away!

Afternoon Everyone; just dashing in to see how everyone is. RL has kept me busy for a few days but hopefully it will calm down soon

Blossom good luck with Mr A date! Is it a long distance to drive?

Doc Great lyrics to start the thread!

Rasp The forties is a good time for dating (in my limited experience) as but funnily enough I got asked out by four separate men in their earlyish thirties recently 32-34). While flattering, it is very confusing! Or perhaps they are the confident age group??

Super I wouldn't worry about the age difference or as a friend said to me today 'half your age plus 10' so MOTS meets the criteria I think it was very rude of Mr Suave not to ring if it was arranged or at least minimal contact to cancel. That would put me off!

Chilli Wow, five dates, all with different men??

Newto Very excited for your blind date, can't wait for the update!

Jesy gld you had a talk with Mr P and cleared the air. I understand how frightening it is to start falling for someone but just try and relax and enjoy it

Ifnot welcome!! and don't worry you can come and sit by me on the older daters bench

Whatsfor sorry you are jaded but it did make me smile at your description of GSM, any funny dating stories to share?

I know I have missed people out , forgive me. Waves merrily to everyone!! Have a lovely evening, weekend etc!!

Sorry Blossom crossposted. Forty mins doesn't sound too bad??

jesy good luck with interview and yes I love First Dates programme
blossom remind me have you had a date with Mr architect yet or just messaging?
super lack of phone call would annoy me too
rioux not proper blind date - have seen a few photos of him prior to him being given my number

Thanks everyone for your wishes re Mr Blind Date - just wishing the date comes round quickly!
