I agree - great post RimBlock.

Knip - Well, sadly I'm not in the Bristol area..!! :D:p j/k although, judging from the comments on my picture I posted in this thread from some - I'm apparently not that bad looking…!!!! Hmm…

lol

I searched for Speed Dating in the Northants area, seems like you need to talk quick and try and get a lot into the evening as you get 3 mins with up to 18 other woman.!!! Phew, now I can talk for England, but that seems like you could end up with repeating the same stuff 18 times over..!!

As for going out, I'd love to go out. I have soooo many friends but none of them can commit the time to tag along to a pub or something. Its really stupid, but they are all now into relationships, married, kids etc... I need a good drinking buddy, but I had these - what happened? They found girlfriends..!! :(

My match.com profile was apparently well written, I had it vetted by friends and even members on match.com that ‘did’ email me commented on how well laid out and well written it was. My first emails always focused on a section of their profile, to show I’d read it, and took the time to personal an email to them.

As I say, I’m going to take a break for a month or so, pick myself up again, get some positive attitude, and try again. Thankfully, after this post I think I’m better educated on how to handle the whole dating game….

Point is, ive got no one to go out with really, cos my mates are all settled down.

My job is also a very isolated one, because I dont have colleagues as such, I work in a school looking after a disabled child (hes the only disabled kid in the school) and I am practically permanently attached to him, ive been in the staff room twice since September, I cant leave him, because although his mates are brilliant, theres no one else qualified who knows about him etc etc.

Ah well, guess im on the shelf for now.

Yeah well, at least as a married person you are used to having someone around...

I think after being single long enough, you "stink" of being single...

Or worse yet mate.... Come of as totally desperate and scare all woman who 'might' show some interest running for the hills..!!:(

Least I've got my dogs (four legged kind) to come home to, so not totally lonely..!!:D

I think that may be the point of a long term marriage. Having somebody around that is, not sex.

Gah, that is so depressing, why would you want to marry someone unless you were totally and unbelievably smitten with them? So much that you want to practically own them as a love slave?

Meh maybe I'm just becoming romantic in my old age...

I've had a lot of comments saying I'm not too bad looking - from girls and not my mom...:D:p My teeth are always clean, fresh breath, white and even though I'm not smiling in this picture I do smile a lot - very camera shy..

I'm not overweight, 6.4 tall. I weigh 12.5 stone, do not smoke, drink but not over the top..... I do regular exercise, eat healthy, not picky with my food and I honestly do not believe its me with the problem..!!

You sound very boring, that's probably why. What makes you stand out from other people?
 
Ahhh I see it now. You'd probably have better luck if you didn't make threads pimping yourself on OC'ing forums like that though... "Am I Hot Or Not" threads are just a bit... sad. :(

No offence. :D
 
The internet breeds weirdo's I swear it....

Get a load of this.. Confused the hell out of me.

I get this "wink" from a profile with no picture and this is how it went...
Chat on the dating site.
Me:
Thanks for the wink...

What do you look like then?

Her:
I'm a black girl, 5'5, med, brown eyes/hair (short) etc............I can send u a pic.......
Email me on ***********@hotmail.co.uk

So I mail her at the supplied address,
Me:
Hi Bridget,
********.. Hmm that's a scary email address. lol
What am I letting myself in for here haha.
Ok, here's my email address and a request for pics.

Her:
Hi. Thanks 4 the mail....I'm not too photogenic i'm afraid. BUt this will give u a rough idea\. lol
(she didn't add any pictures to the mail.)


Me:
I think you forgot to add the pic or something as nothing is attached (e-mail is only 3kb so definitely no pic hiding in here anywhere)
Easier to upload one to the website maybe?
Then we can all see what you look like, never know, you might suddenly get a load of winks. :)
Speak soon anyway, looking forward to seeing what you do look like.


Her:

Take care.......
