The worst thing about being single is the amount of badgering you get from friends and family. Apart from that, I'm really not that bothered as I have loads of stuff to take up my time as it is. :D

Let us know if you catch the Bouqet... Might be an omen for your luck changing! :p

Weddings are always good for hooking up too... well, either that or arguments and punch ups depending on how dysfunctional some of the guests are. :D

You should totally come to the lakes with me the following week :p

Serious offer from a scary internet non-stalker.
 
Oh and at a wedding, if some elderly relative comes up to you and says "Your turn next"... Do it back to them at a funeral. They HATE it.
 
This is great, i've finally found a girl that i can converse with that isn't a one liner!.

Lets see if it continues, her photo's have also sparked my interest as has her profile. :)

My main problem is being crap at sight reading unless I know how a piece is meant to sound in great detail. My old piano teacher could sight read anything you put in front of her and play it almost flawlessly first time. Either that or she'd memorised every piece of music ever written.

Internet dating sucks, but being being single is worse.

I completely disagree with this statement.

The below is all my opinion;

Being single is something that the individual should be comfortable with, before seeking a partner, if you can't be happy and satisfied in yourself, how can you keep another person happy enough to want to be in a relationship with you?

I think you can be happy in yourself.. but desire company... that's all I meant - it was a poor choice of words, admittedly.

I hate the whole auction house type environment of internet dating sites - I've only ever used Match.com though - But if that's what it takes to find the next (and hopefully last) miss perfect. Then so be it.

Agreed. Internet dating is the easy way to meet people, though I think mainly and largely down to our own Evolution isntincts, you dont' really get the sense and feel of the initial connection, that you should. You know the type I mean, where you walk up to a girl in a bar, or look across the room and your eyes meet.... And it's just a connection; With internet dating that's just not possible. However with current life styles and such, it's a perfectly plausible way to meet people.

I don't get what peoples fears about not meeting someone is though. I enjoy my own time greatly and I have always been the same. That doesn't mean that I don't enjoy the company of those around me, my friends, girlfriend, family etc; But I am very self sufficient and have no issues with my own company.

Makes me sound like a bit of a longer, I can assure you that's not true, however, there's nothing wrong with a bit of spare time! :)

What is it though about meeting the perfect 'one'? What do we all strive forr that? It's interesting for sure.

I think I need to head off to speakers corner :p
 
I suppose I'm just at a stage of my life where a lot of the people I grew up with/went to school with have been getting married, starting families of their own and it's something I'd quite like to do.
I don't want just "someone". I don't actually believe in the notion that there's a "perfect" partner out there.

I don't have issues with my own company; it's just that I'd like to spend some time with someone what loves me and wants to do rude things to me ;) and vice versa.

Fixed it for you ;)

I'm still yet to create a profile :p Think I might leave it a little longer until I feel a bit more confident again.

In reference to not getting replies, even if I'm not interested in a guy I will still try to make the effort to reply and politely say I'm not interested. Might take me a couple of days if I'm busy but I always think it's nicer to acknowledge the email rather than just ignore it.

I always tended to have 40-somethings email me :confused: After a while it was really frustrating as I had clearly put an age limit of lower than that.
I find it very annoying when a guy doesn't pay attention to things.
 
How do people work their messages, Ive more often than not messaged for a few days back and forth and it keeps dragging on, then fizzles out, whens the next stage like a phone call or a meet ?

Oh and I dont understand girls on a DATING site who just want to be "friends for a hang out" ??
 
Poor English was fully intentional :p

It's nice that you take time to acknowledge a failed attempt at wooing you. More women should be like that.
 
:/ someone's clearly in love with themself! :p

I got bored of reading his long profile especially as half of it is implying that he's had quite a few ladies say "no sorry not interested" and he's lashing out saying "well i'm as good as you'll get, you'll be single forever" :rolleyes:
