    Are there any Polish dating sites. The wife of some guy that works for me says I should go for a Polish girl. Says she is going to find me a nice Polish girl.

    Polish men are adorable too, I had a serious crush on one at work many years ago....he was of course happily married! He used to tell me all the romantic things he would do for her and I was soooo jealous, as I had a rubbish BF at the time!
    Less stuff, more life, love, laughter and cats!
    Even if I'm on the shopping threads, it doesn't mean I'm buying! Sometimes it's good to just look and then hit the CLOSE button!

    Hey folks long time no post

    Nothing to update, just thought I'd see what's new with everyone?

    And Hi to the newbies!

    Please don't give up, I thought my nagging would have had some impact :p

    POF is known as that throughout the world I think but it is possible to control the meatmarket aspect of it and still find some nice ones.

    Your encouragement has been grand & when my membership of my current site is up (& the date is on my calendar in big red print) then I promise I will consider POF & hide my profile so I shouldn't get too many odd messages.

    It is good to hear of success stories on there, so I'm probably being too dismissive of it.

    Hi Scotty :beer: How is life?

    0^0 - have you fixed anyone up yet? You've been fairly quiet so can we conclude that you are too busy dating to chat on here :D . Hope all is going well for you (& everyone else too).
    & as for some happy ending I'd rather stay single & thin :D

    We met for a third time last night, I visited his home town, we went for a meal, then went to see a performance after which he walked me back to my hotel and he kissed me on the cheek as he said goodbye.

    There are lovely guys on POF, unless I've met the only one!

    I've cancelled my account on POF and told this lovely man I didn't want to meet or date anyone else. His reply this morning has confirmed my suspicion that he only wants a friendship with me.

    3 years on POF is a long time.

    Two guys never turned up for dates without any explanation.

    I've met two others, this current one and another guy who seems to think so long as he messages me from time to time to say he wishes he was with me makes up for the fact that he hasn't seen me at all this year and our dates last year were 9 months apart.

    But at least I have gained a friend.

    I dont think dating has lost its romance at all. I do want to meet the right man, but for the right reasons. When i go on a coffee date i generally know within that hour or so whether the guy is the right one for me by listening to what he says. Personally for me, they have also got to be attractive too, as well as have the banter and chit chat. Ive been alone without relationships as well as being in relationships that i should have got out of way before i did. Meeting guys has made me realise that not all of them are liars and cheats which i know was wrong of me, but i was having trust issues and thats one reason why i stayed out of dating for a while. But meeting new guys whether there for me or not has made me reassess my thinking and to realise that just because ive met two bad apples in my life it doesnt mean that everyman is like that. Also guy number two yesterday asked me to be honest and say what i thought, so i said he wasnt for me and i didnt want to waste his time being a friend because thats not what he would want and thats all i would want from him. Whilst messaging him i got another message from another guy who lives locally and he asked to meet me so were meeting up for a coffee in our area tonight. So by letting guy two go ive got another coffee date :)
    Well WOW!! im glad i let number one and number two guys go because guy number three is mmmm nice.... Ive seen him every day practically since the 7th Oct and we get on really well. Ive been taken to the pics, and on shopping dates and ive even met 2 of his children. He seems very keen and me being me i am very wary as it all new atm. Were spending the weekend together tomorrow. He likes shopping and hates footy. Seems to good to be true atm.

    Aww dont take yourself off the site, try another site if you do. I was seriously about to give up completely but im glad i didnt. Edit to day i wish i had come off the site earlier. The guy i met was a total looser and a user. Sponger comes to mind. Im off the sites now and just enjoying my uncomplicated, single life without the hastle.

    Had a second date arranged for Tuesday, they texted this morning to say they've met someone else :( Really losing faith with this.

    Sorry to hear that Barny. I've not had much success, but someone said to me recently that the reason the things haven't worked out is that there is someone there for me who I haven't met yet. I think 10 years is really taking the ****

    I have already deleted myself from POF - the guy I met had already taken himself off so I thought by taking myself off there he would realise that I am serious about him and not looking for anyone else.

    But the reason he took himself off was because he said he had had too many disasters on there of it and was just looking for friendship from now on :(
