    I'm not quite sure really. I'm not overly keen on internet dating sites although I have tried one or two. Nowadays, I'm more likely to rely on the free-to-use sites rather than throw good money away ( or so it seems ). I think that with POF you could get pretty much whatever you wanted IF the folk on there actually mean what they say. I put in my "requirements" and it came back with 615 people within ten miles of me.

    Either your bar isn't high, or they're stretching the truth a little...

    What was the quality like for those you did contact?

    So batten down the trousers at the Glasgow meet... ;)

    I will expect a progress report soon then!

    are there men coming to the Glasgow meet? or just you and we have to fight for you or draw lots?.;)

    If you want someone just to chat with, try these boards on MSE.

    God knows I'll talk to anybody, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

    I did get into a thread for a while but as usual with internet forums there are fights and fall outs and cliques and I get fed up :confused:

    I'm more a fan of chatrooms but trying to find one that isn't full of idiots is difficult!

    ah then it all unravels...I don't say anything early doors as I need a couple of drinks to steady the nerves and then suddenly next thing it's at a point where I realise I'm too drunk to make an impassioned plea and he'll just think it's the drink and then next I'm home alone again - whoops!

    Take an envelope with you and hand it to him:

    "I wrote this when I was sober. You're a real fantastic guy, and I want you to take me home, lean me over a bucket, and keep my hair out of the way.

    Love Spicy.

    P.S. Did I mention your butt is fantastic?"

    Hang around the threads, find one who seems to be able to walk without the knuckles scraping the ground, then PM them. If they're an idiot, move on to the next.

    Trying to find *anything* on t'internet that's not full of idiots is difficult.

    That's why I LOVE DFW!!!

    *ahem* Sorry...

    I've found two potentially dateable guys from my friend signing me up to dating sites. Gotta be worth a shot

    oooh! You're strict...
    are there men coming to the Glasgow meet? or just you and we have to fight for you or draw lots?.;)

    No fighting..! (there's no mud) I'll bring my year planner... ;):p

    I would guess there'd be guys there.

    I'd hope so anyway. Whether they'd be single, that's another question.

    NO! The correct answer was that you'd have met someone by then...

    Gemmzie - any dates organised?
