    Reading this whole thread is pure comedy. You say you are 7 years older than her eldest so i assume you are 26? I'm 4 years older than you and when i was 26 i was out in afghanistan. My now wife was expecting our first child and she was born whilst i was out there. I never saw her until she was 5 months old and if something went seriously wrong i could of never saw my daughter. You are worrying about the opinion of a 17 year old and a 19 year old before you have even met this woman which is a joke. You are 26 years old and the way you go on makes me question if you even have any balls? Take my advice and heed what i say! You need to man up boy, get a job and stop worrying over absolutely nothing. I wish when i was your age all i had to worry about was the opinion of a 17 and 19 year old.

    No one forced you to be in the forces, but I agree with your sentiment.

    I guess I'm really not aware of my behaviour as much as I think.

    If you want to change your life first thing to stop is doing the same things over and over again and expecting it to be different.

    Sort yourself out, give yer tadger a few months off and then, when you have got yourself a job, decent place to live, essentially a stable background, then get back to dating.

    Also, don't behave like a muppet towards those unfortunate enough to agree to meet you. It seems all you are interested in is getting your leg over but you dress it up as something different. You should just be honest and say you are only looking for a bit of fun if that's the case.
    What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?

    I agree with you. I am worrying unnecessarily. I shouldn't keep posting this stuff and instead just do it. There are definitely more important things in the world and at least I'm fortunate to be in good health and wake up every morning.

    I'm not that bad. Why do you think she would see right through me? I am not a deceitful person if that's what you're getting at?


    I'm not saying your a bad person but your attitude to women is way off.

    Yep, even the Friday the 13th films didn't repeat themselves as much as this. :D

    OP have I missed something? How are you supporting yourself if you aren't claiming benefits?

    I've worked with a family member sporadically and just saved the money from that. I was on benefits about year ago, but came off them.

    Yeah I have read them back and I agree with what you say. I haven't been the most complementary in some of my comments.

    I do have a teeeny weeeny spot of understanding for the OP.
    He is displaying classic symptoms of neurosis. I don't need to check but i hazard a guess 95% of his posts are about himself.
    He doesn't realise the comic value that he generates but this doesn't last and frustration with his behaviour and his words result.

    Though meant well - words like "man up" don't mean anything to him as he is totally absorbed in his own thoughts and universe, that they have no meaning to him.

    His best course of action is to join a neurotic self help group and he could make a lovely home with a wife who lives in her own little universe as well.
