Online dating

[Seagull on the wing]

My daughter aged 27 has tried it off and on. There have been a couple of dates with guys who were unsuitable and where there was no interest. She has now struck up a relationship with a partner in a firm of local solicitors. I was offered a ticket for the Birmingham game but had to refuse it as I was meeting him for the first time for lunch. He was a really nice guy and they are getting on really well.

LIFELONG SUPPORTER...?AND YOU TURNED DOWN A TICKET FOR THE LAST GAME AT THE AMEX THIS SEASON to meet her boyfriend
Oh!...Well,each to their own....Doh!

It's always digital

My favourite area is the small alcove in the wall at the top of the stage...

I have to think that dating sites are probably a lot more reliable for matchmaking, than hooking up at a pub or nightclub.

Personally, I am afraid of rejection..... but not being rejected, more of being in a position of having to do the rejecting. It always makes my skin crawl to have to go through the process. I'm also extremely suspicious of women's motives - "seeking marriage" is another skin-crawling cringer. I cannot imagine wanting to spend the rest of my life with one person really; "sign this contract to not meet other women and be attracted to them" Er.....f*** off?

I met my other half 10 years ago on a dating website, after a marriage, 2 kids and some happy memories she started to see someone behind my back, (the last 2 months have been the worst in my life) but on the bright side she has alot of problems coming up in the near future

Good for you if you can pick and choose. You must be a hot date my friend. I have had a quick look at the dating site I went on 2 years ago and reactivated it. Dozens of pages within 10 miles of Brighton but not one suitable and by the looks of it a lot of bunny boilers. It's like finding a grain of gold amoungst a mountain of coal. There is no chance here, hopeless. Reading the profiles they all want the " shining knight in armour to save their lives " but do they ?, once they get that it would not be enough I would think.

There are a couple of quite offensive/backwards comments regarding women in this thread.

Your right I have been " Mr Nice Guy " for the last 2 relationships, one lasted 5 years on and off and the latest one not even a year. All because I was a " nice guy " and to be honest I am done with dating and Women now as if to keep a Woman interested long term is to be a complete bellend and threat them like shit to keep them keen I would rather not do with the whole charade and be on my own and be who I am , or at least try to be.

What absolute bullshit.

I imagine the real wish is to be thrust from the endless nights of lonely boredom they're put through, especially when hearing about the f***ing perfect men, in the bedroom and kitchen, their friends are with. What the person is really looking for is a distraction, that maybe one day might become a soulmate. What we advertise as a desire is rarely ever true. For instance, if i were to go on such a site, i wouldn't just write: "desperate for a huge-norked, almost hairless, middle-aged lollipop lady with a mild drink problem and squirrelly teeth", despite it being what i want. I'd make up some cliched pap about someone with an honest heart and a healthy mix of ambition of life but living in the real world, as real as it can ever be.
Best not to pretend to be a knight in armour, i reckon. No one will ever live up to the temporary fantasy.

What absolute bullshit.

That maybe not your experience but it is mine and after all we can only comment on our own experiences.

One of the young lads working with us swears by plentymorefish site and every Monday we await his weekend reports, it seems to be a regular trend that he comes back reckoning most of the girls he meets are a box of frogs or want a serious relationship straight away. Today he had holiday so hope to here tomorrow how it went with a Polish bird this weekend.

I met my girlfriend on a dating site..... And my mistress

And I bet you thought they were on the BBC website upstairs

What absolute bullshit.

It isn't. Sad to say there are a lot of women who become more interested if you treat them like shit.

That's a good defence, for those that need it. It can blind them (or us) to the real issues

....as can good sex
