  • Heya,

    Just found and read this thread - fab idea! I've also just signed up to the Guardian site - bit weirded out by the number of old blokes sending messages (by old, I mean 20 years older than me and explicitly excluded in my profile!), but actually there seem to be some nice blokes on there. I will let you know what happens! :D

    How much is the guardian site per month?
    Total Debt
    Was £4145.81now £0.00
  • Guardian - £32/month £64/3months and £96/6months - quite expensive I feel

    The problem is you either pay and get some selection on at least ability to pay if nothing else, or you go for a free site like Plenty of Fish and get everything including the bottom dwellers from the sea floor......or in the case of one guy I went on a date with (telling me about the other women he'd been on a date with) a potential partner with an axe in the living room and a bath in the front garden! Interesting :rotfl:

    For those of you feeling a bit down about Valentines, look up BBC comedy misery bear's valentine's day.
    It's an anecdote for us singles

    No I get what your saying but what I didnt like about match was that even though you had paid it was impossible to tell who was a paid member or who was free and therefore couldnt reply to your messages.
    I dont know if the guardian is the same....

    Ah, I think it's the same with the Guardian site. If you haven't paid though, you can send some one line messages to the other person to say that you are/aren't interested, and vice versa. Not sure if this is the same as match.com. You can post a profile and check people out for free, so you could see what you think of it. Far fewer spelling mistakes in people's profiles than on match.com! :D (Appallingly snobby, I know!)

    Talking of Valentine's Day, have people seen this?

  • That makes me feel sad - I hope she got a date!!! Although single, I was quite happy at home with my friend visiting

  • ZTD - Maybe I should have tried that!
