thank you
here's a brief update from me
got talking to a guy who didnt have a profile pic but seemed ok. though emails were a little weird (as in the way they were written) He's too far away though.
also speaking to a kiwi in London (he sounds lovely and he's cute
), a teacher from a nearby town who seems nice, another guy from a nearby town but he seems to get bored easily in things (not a good sign). Another guy who lives about an hour away, he seems very cheeky and bit too laidback so im not suremeeting the teacher on monday.
The New Zealander is away for a few weeks on hols so have to wait till he gets back before we can arrange a date.
and the other two have asked to meet up so just waiting to arrange something
Theres a few others i've replied to but im realising now that they are definitely not my type!

No fair man, how did you score on your first attempt?!
Haha I've always checked the site every so often when I see this thread with activity again, everytime until the other day it was just filled with chavvy/unattractive sounding folk. I got mighty lucky coming across this one. (no pun intended)
Is that the done things these days, plan to meet more than one person in such a short space of time, before you've even met the first?
What if you really like the first one, have to break it up with the others?
Then you'll probably see posts from other people saying;
"We planned a meeting but he/she backed out at the last minute...I don't know why?
"Poor people!

It is to do with ego and greed. Welcome to modern Britain, where dating one girl is not enough and must take away girls from genuine guys, never mind that there is a shortage of girls in 18-30 age, it is all about me me me ME!

I'm sorry but how is there a shortage of girls in the 18-30 age? Maybe there is on online dating sites but not on the street or in the real world - just go to any university campus and there's loads of single girls.
thank you

Wow you're being quite thorough.
Do you have any tour dates for auditions ?

Mate, you're not alone in feeling this way. Im a little older than yourself and im finding this all the more common and it is very off putting. The last girl i went on a date with had a child but it never worked out anyway. Even though at first id try not to think about it but the reality of it is that it would get to me eventually. I just do not want to be raising some other blokes kid. Its a complete deal breaker. It would take one hell of a women to get me into that situation, but thats not going to happen. I feel also like the window of options is closing as the years pass by, its a horrible feeling too. I'll be knocking on 30's door in no time. Its grim and if i think about it too much it gets me down.
I dont get to meet many women in my day to day living but PoF is pointless to me. I live on the Isle of Man so there are not many girls listed on there from my location. Most dating sites seem to be the same like this, we're talking extremely limited numbers. Ive tried talking to those im interested in but get ignored and its been almost a year since i got an email from anyone.
My dad keeps telling me to go out to Thailand and bring a nice Thai girl back.
Consider the towel, trown in.
30 isn't that old dude! My Dad got married at about 37 and he's been married for over 20 years now. Oh yeah and he was also pretty hopeless with the ladies from what I've heard.
Not to be rude, but the idea of waiting well over a decade until you finally get your shot at happiness is not something I'd be best pleased about. Quite frankly, I'd like like to be enjoying myself now instead of feeling like a damn outsider.
I know, but I was putting across why that isn't necessary something that is going to 'help'.
Not when you're sick and tired of being lonely there isn't.
Fair enough.
Okay agreed being lonely sucks. I've decided when I get back to the UK I have to take up some sort of social hobby eg Kickboxing.
As for being sick I live near my Grandma's so I get the best TLC in the world
(mostly I just have sore throats/colds once in a while). EDIT: not that that helps you at all though...
I've been following this thread for quite a while and signed up quite a way back. The last few pages really have struck a cord. I'm not one of these "nice guys finish last" type of guys, I can be a right git and that doesn't work either
Don't tempt me either, in a couple of years I may do it.
I fully agree there. My friends are now all getting paired up. It really isn't nice going out in a group and being the only single guy. I'm only 25!
