    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:
  • You are correct.
    I don't think it means loaded, it just means sorted?
    Happy chappy
  • It's really odd - all I've done is add a bit to my profile about buying my own place and being content and suddenly I get loads of attention.

    That's attractive to women as personally I'd take that to be written by a grown up many who's ready to settle down and be stable.

    depends

    Some women will see it as look, heres a fella who is self assured, knows what he wants & gets it, makes things happen.

    I think these dating sites allow you to create an idea of what someone is like before you meet them, and we all know assuming makes an !!!...

    Tom, will you just tell me to sling my hook, Im obvously being really negaitve!

  • Hi!
    A number of not so reputable dating sites send you emails saying you've been sent email / added to favorites in order to get you to pay up. When you do pay your money the message looks suspiciously machine generated. This is my experience from a few years ago.

    Dating direct and match.com I think are a bit better than that.

    Good luck

    thanks for that, but Im finding it hard to date at the moment as DD (5) wont leave my sight, she gets tired and opens the front door and tells them to go home :eek: :o :rotfl:

    My sister has had quite a few on-line dates through the Guardian website, hasnt met Mr Right but she's had some fun along the way.

    Lots of people seem to be into on-line dating now, especially in London. The image of lonely hearts ads being only for the desperate seems to have disappeared IMO.

    I joined matchdotcom and the same thing happened, got an e-mail and then got ask to pay £65 ish to read the message, it was from a nice guy but came to nothing at all, he only wanted to msm at midnight(?) was in a band, had a full social life, fulltime job etc etc, did wonder exactly when he would fit in the time for dating!

    The next couple were a bit of a dead loss too, for different reasons, now been doing the online thing for about three months, people tend in my experience to fall in to two camps, those who want to meet up immediately ( wat too fast for me, would prefer to e-mail / msm for a bit, or even talk on the phone) and those who can be hardly bothered to reply to emails and when the do it is all one sided chat, with all the effort on my part!

    I am giving it one last go, infact I am going on a first date tonight - very scary, for a girl like me anyway, last date was about 5 years ago, with my last bf, only been single for 5 months eek, but he asked and well I suppose there is no point joining that type of thing if you haven't got the guts to go though with it. Although he has fallen in to the really fast camp, couple of e-mails, one phone call, so not absolutely sure that I am doing the right thing!

    This is my last attempt with this site though, my advise would be pay the money if you can easily afford it but just be realistic about the people that you are meeting, I always get quite excited just to be a bit dissappointed!

    How did the date go?
