Wow, this American girl I'm going to be meeting on Thursday is amazing! I just had a 6 hour MSN conversation with her and it was brilliant. Didn't run out of things to chat about at any point, and she only went because she said she was going to go blind from looking at the screen!

Really excited about Thursday :)

Fingers crossed things continue to go as they've been going so far :)
 
I imagine the 'her being American' thing will bring up plenty of conversation. Should be fun! My first internet date! Wow. :)

And if you like her, make sure you try and drop in that shes the first one you've been interested in meeting. Brownie points and her feeling "aaah" :)
 
and? let me guess your one of those guys who dig stick insects? i am a stick insect, you ever banged elbows etc etc in bed ? it aint nice lol

I've no problem with a bit of meat, but I was thinking more long term. That at 31? Add 5 stone before 40 haha

we all get old some day, i always thought part of finding love would be to accept that we wont always look as great as we did/do in younger years :rolleyes:
 
damnit to hell, i messaged her about an hour ago, took 20 damn minutes to carefully script something together that made me look mildly good :( good luck though Neil :)

Really REALLY not my type, i've been with a few overweight women and they just get bigger.. I NEED CAKE, Lets see how much food i can put on this plate, oh do i look big in this i think i'm putting on weight!. No **** women and then comes turn offs in bed as i see more flab than women. Anything from stick insect to average will do me, but if your arms are bigger than mine, forget it :(. Yes i'm slightly shallow but at the end of the day we all have our turn ons and what we like in a woman, personality only goes so far

There's a difference between getting old and getting overweight. Aging is inevitable, as are gray hairs and wrinkles, but sitting on your arse eating above your daily calorie intake isn't.

Plus I don't think anyone finds love, it gradually evolves from lust to love. You see someone, make a pretty much instant conscious decision about if you find them physically attractive. If so, you can then get to know that person to see if you actually like them beyond just their looks. If so, the seeds of love are born!

One of my favorite quotes - "Unless it is mad passionate extraordinary love it is a waste of time. There are too many mediocre things in life. Love should not be one of them."

So yes, never settle for anything less than what you think you deserve.

Indeed, I've been called a chubby chaser before now. I just find attractive what I find attractive. You're not just dating for looks, you're not just for dating personality, you're dating a package that you hope to fall in love with regardless.

I'm looking for that happily ever after, when I should be looking more for the now. I'm a bit weird in that I just want to settle down even though I'm a week away from 26. I realise though that might be selfish when I'm not even sure or settled about my career and I'm thinking of giving education another go. It's a tough one and the lady I met on Saturday picked up on this. To be fair, she has a daughter and so her needs extend beyond just a companion and needs more security but then I think it shouldn't matter all that much. I'd shovel excrement for a living so long as I could provide for my family and I'd probably be just as happy.

Maybe I'm just pathetic and hopeless! I certainly lack much confidence it seems, but then I'm not shy or nervous at all. I think it's more my career I'm not confident about!
 
Recently broke up from my very long term girlfriend in the most ego shattering way possible...

...My confidence is at a low atm which makes picking up lady's difficult in the normal way so I've decided to give the internet dating thing ago... I've stuck a profile up on PoF, just after some constructive comments really:

So gay me up... Feel it needs to be more light hearted some how.... maybe lose the topless pic?
No one want to give me some pointers? Not getting much action on Pof

is there a yardstick to measure how correct you are about thinking what you deserve and what you really deserve?

that single point always eludes me, and i can't remember how many times i've given it serious thought lol

IMHO Not a year stick as such but I know what kind of person I am, what my friends think about me and how I treat people both in relationships and as friends etc. So, I have a good idea of what I'm worth and who I deserve.

indeed, but knowing yourself isn't enough obviously?
maybe i'm being pedantic, i don't know, just seems that every girl/woman bases everything on looks, and even if your missing some tiny little part in the looks department, your cast aside, do i sound bitter? think i am slightly, why does finding a nice decent woman have to be so bloody difficult,:mad:
