what are the best value dating sites?

Johnny_Barnes10

Well my current mindset is I'm happy to be single but if I see or meet a woman that could change, can't say I'll be trawling the site like I did earlier this year though.

I've just lost interest completely, I read messages but haven't responded to any of them. Apart from 1 guy who made me laugh but didn't go further than that.

This is why I don't usually reply to people I'm not interested in -

Chap Number Three: The "Too much In Common Guy"

If I wasn't out the loop I'd have thought I was reading about myself there. :rotfl:

Chap Number One: The Youth

Year younger than me. I quite like the idea of being the experienced older woman character.

Chatty, although I can't make out what the hell he's saying half the time due to being Scottish. Actually plays sports regularly as opposed to making stuff up for his profile, which is nice.

(I put down I play sports 4-5 times a week, because - rain or shine - you'd see me moving fast, in trainers 4-5 times a week. That's current, not harking back to some school glory days.

I put my build as "athletic and toned" because I have a four pack.

I don't think "I played once in a five a side tournament last summer" and "sometimes I go for a long walk after sixteen pints" or "I have muscles, just hidden under layers of chub" is exactly the same ).

Three dates so far- quite an achievement, as given the cold, I'm massively struggling with the urge, once I'm home, to not go out again, EVER.

We had a movie date at his (nice pad - he's the standard "got into a good grad job straight after uni" type) and ended up both under a blanket :whistle: but he didn't make a pass.

Hmmmm. Maybe I'm getting ugly :cool: Or he sees me as a mummy character rather than some glamourous older woman :eek:.

Will be interested to see how this goes, but not holding my breath massively.


Chap number Two: The Mystery Man

This was strange. Fitted in a quickie. Well, a hour and a half meeting on my way to somewhere else.

YOU DIRTY MINDED PERSON IF YOU THOUGHT ANYTHING ELSE.

Must admit I chose a bloody awful location. We were sitting on the end of a "girls night out" table and one of the "merry" lasses was looking at us and saying "first date then?" really loudly.

Didn't bother me too much - it's nice seeing lasses have a good time and I can behave FAR worse when drunk - but we were going WHAT every five minutes as we couldn't hear each other over the noise .

Still, thought he had some potential. We exchanged a few texts afterwards, suggesting meeting up somewhere quieter.

I was a bit slow in replying to one - I'm not a "text back in two minutes" kind of girl - once a day is fine, even if I like a guy I have Things To Do rather than send "WHAT RU DOING" messages constantly.

I saw that he had sent a message to me on the dating site - they send me an e-mail to let me know. When I logged on, turned out his profile had disappeared so I couldn't see the message. OH THE MYSTERY

Now, I don't emotionally invest massively in anyone - it's all a bit of fun for starters. I've been properly in love too recently to be open to "fall" for anyone straight away. And I certainly don't think anyone "owes" anyone anything after an hours meeting - so there was nothing wrong as such with his behaviour....

But I'm actually curious as to the disappearing act . I know multiple dating is the trend so maybe he got it together properly with someone else he liked better- I'd do it myself - but to disappear SO soon? My money's on there being an on-off girlfriend finding out.

Oh well, not really my problem

Chap Number Three: The "Too much In Common Guy"

Nice profile, very good looking chap in his pics and in person, reliable but a bit "reserved" in his communications beforehand (no "look forward to meeting you" or kisses at end of texts). We had coffee, and although he was dropping hints about extending I bowed out early.

I couldn't quite put my money on WHY, but I think it was

1. He was a bit too much like a colleague or a friend straight away. We had loads in common in terms of cultural interests, books, films, etc. It was enjoyable, but if I want that kind of chat I go to my friends or girlfriends.

I don't like chaps jumping in with the mega flirting and "what do you want from a man?" or "why did your last serious relationship end?" straight away, but I do want some recognition that we aren't just starting off on the footing of talking/drinking buddies.

2. He came across as the kind of guy who has always had women taking the lead.

I don't need a declaration of love within 30 minutes, but I think "have you eaten yet, shall we get something?" or "do you know such and such a bar, shall we go?" is a nice way to extend a date. Not just "what are your plans for the rest of the day?" as if expecting me to pick a place and sort out the schedule for the next few hours. Combined with the above, it made him seem more like a mate than a date. I certainly think the internet is actually a great tool to meet interesting people to just hang out with - but couldn't really be arsed with this one.

3. It was just a bit cold and I couldn't be arsed, I wanted to get home and curl up under my blanket, not fight the crowds on a Saturday night. In summer I look for reasons to go out, in the winter it's all about looking for reasons to stay in


SO. I might have one or two more and then my "match.com free trial man loot" will be done. It's been interesting.

I'm far too fussy to have that many dates in a short space of time, nor can I be arsed to date more than 1 man at a time.

I've had 4 dates since Aug (all went further than 1st dates) but think that proves my disinterest or fear
