    I cant believe the questions you have mentioned when online dating, how long have i been out of the market?? surely there are still some nice guys out there that want friendship and romance first?

    Waves from the back :wave: if you come across a profile online "male 40 Northants seeking female 34-43 for friendship + possibly more" - be nice - it might be me :D

    Hopefully the less desirable responses are easy to weed out and block - but it must be a downer not to get a few interesting contacts.
    Anyway I've got a meet Sat am with an interesting lady I've been speaking to from a dating site - at the very least it will be pleasant to chat in person even if nothing comes from it.

  • Hey CG,

    Sorry to hear you are feeling rubbish- I had that last week and couldn't talk for two days. Less than amusing although gave me a chance to practice my sign language ready for exam lol! Those weddings sound lovely and it will be nice to get the chance to wear something different for the Muslim one, very interesting.

    No real plans here, now that I'm out of teaching no easter hols for me :( just the bank holidays. heading down to the seaside so hoping for some sunshine (well, anything except for rain!). might try and head to london one of the days... do some shopping :)
    Very excited to be marrying my partner in crime for the last 7 years in September 2012 :j

    I know this sounds really pathetic but I realise that when I got married I threw myself into the realtionship and as many people do lost track of friends etc. Now my marriage is really rocky and I realise I really need some girlie friends to chat to. I was thinking of the classifieds or chat rooms but I have no idea what to do and am a little scared of who I might be chatting to or meeting. Has anyone tried any or can anyone recommend any that are safe?
    Thanks


    there are lots of nice chat rooms or message boards.

    try http://www.mumszone.co.uk/forums/index.php?referrerid=6511.

    you fit in really quickly, most of them on here are women but a few men but they are all lovely.

    some do meet up but alot just go on and chat.

    give it a go.

    Good luck on saturday red ;) Hope it works out and you have a nice time.

    If you look hard enough there are some nice guys out there (even one or two online ;)) I used to be involved in chatroom hosting and definately a mixed bunch but i met some great people so everyone have fun but be careful if you decide to meet up :)

    It's awful isn't it Squiggly? Call me old-fashioned - but I want a site where the 2nd question isn't "are you shaved, waxed or natural..." :rotfl:
