    Where abouts in London are you anyways, I know a few people that work down oxford street so I am regulaly about.


    Oh yes I forgot!!

    To Gal...

    Maybe we should organise a MSE Martin's Moving Saving 'Meet and Great' for those singletons on this site...

    Imagine we would be all haggling for the price of a drink to save money!!

    :beer: :rotfl:

    lol could just imagine that.

    My Girlfriend is currently working for clarins and is due to be doing an event with them at the Hilton at canary wharf.

    Just imagine pretending to be all posh and making off with there flashy champers :D
  • Well you sound completely happy with your life so why change it! I think the reason why I'm searching it because of peer pressure (at my age) to 'settle down'. I'm 33 and would like to have a partner but also I understand that I will have to compromise when in a relationship (as friends have told me). I also enjoy my life as it is - working, socialising and going on holiday without having to consult another person. But on the flipside, I have to be responsible for everything and have no one to rely on. So I suppose you can't have the best of both worlds..but I will keep my door 'slightly open' but will not fall to pieces if stay single (I hope!)

    Just wondering if I was to PM you my Internet Dating profile, would you give me an honest assesment from a ladies point of view, or some pointers where I'm going wrong.

    I've asked my sister and a female friend, but they say that because they know me it's hard to give an opinion. (maybe they don't want to hurt my feelings)

    Thought it might be good to get an opinion from someone i don't know.

    We have a friend who has been looking for ages, for a serious relationship and got very desperate ...ended up with an absolute gold digger that treats him like !!!!!!. Saying that, he let her treat him like that .... ended up buying her a house:rolleyes: He stopped being with her, but helps her alot ... well, he gets pulled back in by her. He says he doesn't love her at all, but he feels sorry for all her kids .... think she has about 7 at last count.

    He was contstantly asking us to find him a 'nice lady' .... introduced him to EVERY 'single' person that we knew who were up for meeting someone too .... and EVERY single one of them said he was too full on, and that freaked them out!

    It got to a point where he was calling every day asking me to set him up with someone, or questioning my O/H about what female friends I had .... !!!!!! us both off big time 'cos it was repetative and intruding on our time:rolleyes:

    Sat him down and gave him the "calm it down and stop looking" talk and "when ya don't look for it, it'll come to you" talk ..... last resort :rotfl: he was driving us nuts ... and that talk worked for 3 other people we know (all of whom were hooked up in less than 3 months and are still hooked up with them!). Anyway, we hadn't heard from him in a while so O/H called to see if he was ok .... and turns out we ... erm ... interupted him :eek: :rotfl: He has met someone and we haven't heard from him since so are hoping things are going well ;)

    Right, what was I gonna say after all that yapping .... ahhh .. right ..... stop doing things with the aim of finding 'the one', do it for the fun and joy of doing it ...... and before ya know it .... 'the one' will come to you!;)

    Good luck huni bun icon7.gif and I hope it all makes sense what I have blabbed on about :o
    I can say whatever I like here ... 'cos no one can see me .. ner ner ner ner ner !!!....

    How do you know I ain't sitting here butt naked?!?!

    I thunk I've made you think for a minute!
    :j :rotfl: :j

    These friends must have been mingling in a social circle of some sort with suitable partner material and your talk just stopped them from trying too hard. Not trying doesn't work on its own though.
    Happy chappy

    I've also decided to 'calm it down' a bit....as I don't wanna be seen as desperate. I've just come in from having a great time with colleagues from work and realise how good it is not having someone breathing down your back telling you either 'you've drank too much' or 'it's time to go home'. From going out tonight, I've now been invited to a hen night in dublin, a booze cruise in france, a baby shower, a christmas lunch and a breast cancer awareness coffee morning tomorrow (don't forget everyone!). I'm certainly going to be busy over the next couple of months so finding a partner will not be a priority so hopefully any suitors find me when I'm not aware!

    However I'm still in contact with a couple of guys of the internet who want to meet up...so I will meet them but I'm not expecting a whirlwind romance.

    I think just be happy and realistic and in time it will come!
