And not what they are in your mind

Geeky is not synonymous with hot!

Sumanji - ok i got halfway through that message and didnt understand the rest.

Janesy B - you dont have to be too thoughtful in your emails. Just a simple message.

Most guys who have messaged me have said something along the lines of

"hi, youre profile caught my eye and I think we have a few things in common. I'd love to get to know you more, if you are interested. If not all the best"

short but sweet!

Ummm, I was sort of taking the wet, and not really expecting an analysis with critical feedback...

But thanks

lol oh i know you were but i couldnt work out if the rest of it was just gobbledee gook or if it actually meant something in chav land lol

So then that girl I was talking to just blanked me the last 2 days even after she said she was infact interested.

Told her I was fed up with her BS and that she was not worth the time, her cowardice/childishness has totally put me off her. (to which she chooses to not reply to still and I'm still on her MSN, strange girl)

Plenty more fish in the sea! When I went out on wednesday I was reminded of how many hot girls there are in my town so that made my decision to stop pursuing her very easy. :cool:

secretspy · 24 Jul 2009 at 23:52

oh that's annoying. Another girl who's making us females look bad. Although girl being the correct word. Women (well most, including me) are far more mature than that.

Good attitude though. Sadly there are no hot men in my town so i have to resort to other places lol

Someone said to me tonight "so Kaz how many men have you got on the go at moment?" :eek:

Made me feel rather dirty

What's wrong with talking to a few people? You can't put all of your eggs in one basket. Is it a bad thing?

Nothing at all. I've usually got 3 'actives' at any one time. If a date is nothing more than having a chat with someone for a while then I'll see as many as I can. If things progress I'd stop seeing the others.

Just got back from another first date. She was really pretty and perfectly nice but had hardly any personality plus a nervous fidget that really put me off. So that's another one off the list, which means there's space for one more.

Where are you again secretspy

secretspy · 25 Jul 2009 at 00:06

Thank you. That's made me feel better now lol. Its not like im doing anything with them just getting to know more about them.

I stuck with one guy before, a few years ago and ended up picking the wrong one so lost contact with several seemingly nicer guys

lol, erm i'm in surrey lol

Prophet · 25 Jul 2009 at 00:14

Exactly!

Get them lined up and filter out the crap until someone right comes along

Don't suppose you're coming to Nottingham any time soon

secretspy · 25 Jul 2009 at 00:15

Yeah! see.. I am right.

Erm.... not likely but you never know!

Prophet · 25 Jul 2009 at 00:21

I've started being really brutal with my online filtering. I used to reply to everyone, now I only reply to people I'm interested in. I don't just mean 'oh yeah they look OK' either, they have to have a good profile and really push my button so to speak.

Had too many dates where they were either not as described or not how they came across on their profile.

Quite funny at work today. Me and a guy who signed up at the same time compared the number of emails we'd received from different women. He's had 13 in 3 Months I've had 103 lol. I guess him being 5'2" and ginger doesn't help! (Oh I'm going to hell)

secretspy are you on PoF?

secretspy · 25 Jul 2009 at 00:24

yeah at first i was talking back if i thought "well they're not bad" but it's actually got me in a situation now where a guy wants to meet but i'm not interested and he doesn't seem to have got the hint! (well it wasn't a hint i said no to meeting as he's too far but he's pushing for a location in between us. if he emails again though i'm just going to have to be blunt with him

in as nice a way as possible)

nope im on match.com

Prophet · 25 Jul 2009 at 00:29

It also find it gets difficult to keep track of who's who. Much better to only speak to those you fancy, as such and just bin the others. I'm sure a good few of the emails I get are just spam that another 100 guys get. Even if the women in question is a hottie I won't reply if she's just out 'Hey, hows you x'

Damn you and your premium dating service lol
