    Told a man off earlier for rudeness on the dating thing - not smutty rude just no manners, dismissed one last night because he doesn't seem to have a full stop on his keyboard and can't write in English ("wi" instead of "with" etc) I am destined to be single forever:o:rotfl::rotfl:

    So am I! I try to tell myself that an ability to spell and punctuate isn't really up there with the most important qualities for making a relationship work, but it doesn't seem to have any effect - it still puts me off if people can't/won't do it.

    No. You have standards.

    (Is that gramatically correct? Don't want to be dismissed :eek:)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I don't even like cats Lois, what's to become of me?:rotfl::rotfl:

    I don't mind the odd mistake and I don't mind people talking with lots of Scottish words but don't see why they would write like that? Does he think he's Rabbie Burns? He "wis oot wi ma staffi" (sadly this has not been edited for comic efffect):o.

    GG, I do have standards but by getting to 44 and still being single do I still have the right? Should I lower them?

    Just bought a politics book for college from ebay and it puts up what people buying it also bought - surprising amount of Mills and Boon in there:D.

    I think there must be some hope. I don't think lowering standards is the way forward, though. At any rate, I'm not ready to lower mine. :o
