    I have been with OH for 8 years now, we met on a date set up by a mutual friend, we lived in different cities when we first met, we both then went off to uni again in different cities once uni was over we settled in in my home city and we now have a 3 year old daughter, i am in fact still waiting for a marriage proposal as he did say on our very first date that he doesn't believe in marriage but just after midnight on 1st jan he said you never know we may end this year husband and wife, so who knows eh :):)

    I only said "trying".

    You can see my posts, so it's not doing too well...

    The thing I thought was interesting in the plenty of fish site was that men my age are willing to meet women of my age! on DD there's a lot of 38- 45yr old men looking for 35 yr old women at the oldest!

    Thanks for the list. Over the last 5 years I have dabbled with:
    datingdirect.com - no
    www.freedating.com - no
    match.com - no
    Yahoo Personals - no
    girlsdateforfree.com - no
    loveinuniform.com - no
    Love@Lycos - yes, bunch of old perves where I was living
    http://www.midsummerseve.com/ - yes, just weirdos being dirty in 1st message
    http://www.plentyoffish.com - yes, just oddballs

    Also tried:
    http://www.okcupid.com - mainly nigerian men! So no thanks
    http://www.mysinglefriend.com - my friend never completed the profile for me
    http://www.faceparty.com - really just blokes wanting to show their bits
    http://www.flirtbox.co.uk - met 2 lovely guys on there. One I went for a few beers with and a few walks (mates only), 2nd one I, er ... well, you know. Met up about 4-6 times in the last 2 years.

    A friend of mine has written LOADS of what she calls "very successful" profiles for her friends on another site. She wrote one for me and took the responses. She said she was SO appalled by them and SO disgusted by them that she wouldn't give me the login - and told me to move out of the area immediately as there really WEREN'T any suitable men near me. She said all those that responded were 60+ and most immediately sent kn0b pics unsolicited.
