    114 pounds??!! I wouldn't bother for that amount of money. Are there no cheaper sites you can look into. You get cashback through quidco when you sign up to match - makes a 6 months membership about 20 quid and then you get 6 months free if you have found anybody, so really its a whole year for about 20 quid.

    Thanks Gwen,

    To be honest, I joined the site unawares :o I got sent this affinity test by email, completed it & next thing I've got a profile on this site, millions of emails saying who I might be compatible with & now people sending me messages :eek:, not at all what I was wanting :mad:. I've been mulling over joining a site - mainly because my social life is minimal & I work from home so the chances of meeting someone other than milkmen, meter readers or posties are very remote :rolleyes:. Frankly I dont feel ready to put myself out there yet so think I will follow your advice & when I am ready follow your suggestion :T & remove myself & my profile from the site, quick .

    How are you finding it ?

    Hello & on behalf of us all welcome :D

    no, there are a few boys ... ok there's TDQ but he's currently en route to Oz but will no doubt be back online again soon. He's very male :cool:

    All are very welcome here, & some posters arent even single or in debt, they just love it here because we're so fabulous :rotfl:

    Sarah will be most upset that she wasnt here to welcome you, so please stick around or I may be in trouble ofr scaring you off.

    so, what are your interest ( other than money saving :rolleyes:) ?

    Oh ok :D well I used to be a long term regular on here, but stopped about a year and a half ago. Too many things annoyed me, but anyhoo. I'm in the same boat as most people in this thread it seems - trying to pay off debt - mine from a disasterous move with an ex girlfriend a few years ago, compounded with enjoying going out far too much. I find being single helps, although obviously its far from ideal to be honest. And like some guys here I've lost a bit of weight recently, although that wasn't really from a concerted effort :D

    Hi the Boss. It isn't female only, but I can see how a quick read through might make it look like that:D

    Welcome to the thread, it's good to have another male on board.:j

    Well in that case welcome back, I think we all need to have a break from here now & then, it can get a bit obsessive & all consuming.

    when I start referring to my daughter as DD I know it's time to step back a bit.

    By the way, do you like shoes :rotfl:

    Do I like shoes? Ironically I'm after a pair of converses and a casual pair, but not sure that's quite what you meant ;)

    DD, now that's a blast from the past :)

    Someone has just sent me a message, dont know what to do :confused: He sounds okish but is rather old at 48, doesnt have & doesnt want children. My good manners tell me that I must reply, but I dont want to have to pay £114 in order to say 'on yer bike mate':rotfl:

    I need to make a decision quick, any suggestions ?

    £114! :eek::eek::eek: There are definitely better uses for your money than that.:eek: Think of all the lovely things you can get from the garden centre shop:D

    Have any of you guys ever tried using facebook to meet people? I've met a few people on there, all of whom were really nice, and of course it doesn't cost anything. You can chat to them/message them before to make sure they are decent people etc and get to know them for a bit before meeting up. Definitely worth a try? Think I've seen about 8 people from there, and only 1 was a disaster because she barely said a word.
