There are plenty of special someones - it is just finding them that can be a bit tricky.

I have changed over the years and realised that the qualities that I used to be attracted to in a man are not neccessarily what I should be looking for. Too many bad boys in my life and all the "nice" men just seemed boring. Well, although I am not completely sure that I even want a new man, I do know that I get too lonely to stay on my own for the rest of my life. Horrid feeling.

So r.g - me and you both are awaiting our Prince Charming - I hope the wait isn't too long!

Am I the only person who doesn't like the idea of internet dating? It just seems a bit weird to me.:( I think it may be that I have trusted people in the past who have abused that and it makes me very wary of trusting anyone again. Meeting someone face to face gives me a better idea of who I am talking to and whether they are genuine.
Perhaps I am destined to be single.... heaven knows I have had enough tries at being part of a couple and it always seems to go pear shaped....

The thought of internet dating scares the bejeezus out of me!

Me too but it seems that a lot of people don't feel the same way. My sister used to meet up with guys loads that she had "met on the net" but they all seemed a bit peculiar to me....

I had to laugh when my psychologist told me that he had spent a couple of hours vetting male profiles with a female friend of his as she wanted his professional opinion! He is happily married but he said he found it really amusing. He added that in his opinion many of the guys could have had far more flattering photos than the ones they posted.

I am going to stick to the old fashioned way - not too successful so far but who knows what (or who) is around the corner?

I've been on three internet dates. In terms of 'wierdness' the success rate was 66.6666% positive. Two were fine, one was a tiny bit odd. The thing about it is you can vet them by email first, sometimes they write something that gives a warning like "I like slasher movies", or "The BNP are cool" so you know you are going to be incompatible. If you find someone you do 'virtually' click with, arrange a date in a public place, tell a couple of friends where you are going, get a friend to phone you and speak in front of him telling your friend where you are and who you are with, then relax and try to get to know him a bit. If it goes ok, arrange to meet again and so on...

Today was CHILDREN day and not only did I think about my DD1 and organising for her to have a nice day on Saturday (18th birthday), and DD2 organising for her to get to a party and having a friend to sleepover on Friday, I have been thinking about the children I work with in terms of I hope I enrich their lives a bit. Some of the families that come to the childrens centre have had some bad times and it is nice to think they and their parents get a bit of respite there. xx

Good on you r.g. I am sure that you do enrich their lives and make it a little bit more special.
I love the way each day has a different subject... but what happens if you meet a nice guy on a non relationship day? Does he have to wait until the right day?
I am having a poo week - I just want things to start getting better soon.

Hey hun, chin up, things usually come around, after a crud week things get better. It's this time of year too, but I noticed the evenings are getting a bit brighter, so nice evening walks and evening birdsong to listen to soon. I noticed the daffodils are coming up in my bosses garden today, that's amazing for January! x
If I met a nice man on a day that wasn't relationship day I would bag him up, put him in the freezer, with a padlock on it, in a garage with a lock on the door etc then get him out on the next wednesday that came around. But seriously, if I did I think I would do my serious thinking about how the relationship was going on a wednesday. Wish it would happen lol xx
