Re: Online dating; here we go again !!!!
We have talked about having an ish dating section and whilst it would certainly bring some traffic to the site we didn't think it would neccessarily be the traffic we want.
But I think those who are single often make it clear and we have PM's you could talk to each other? I'm afriad there are too many things that can go wrong with this.

Re: Online dating; here we go again !!!!
I am fascinated by the eharmony advert and the slightly mad way they say 'we will match you on INTELLECT and VALUES' with all the consonants really pronounced. However the one where the soppy woman sings about liking Godfather 3* makes me cringe and whimper although it may be an amazing site, I do not know.
* It's not considered the best one. But {coy smirk} that's just me. Oh, bugger off.

Dating Direct and one for Single With Kids... but the single with kids one doesn't just put you in touch with other single parents. Only trials.
Anyway, I'm off men too hahaha

No I won't use a smiley because I've decided to turn into Boboff, as he's turned all nice all of a sudden. Grumble grumble.

I met my partner on some chat site (flirtomatic i think it was?) I wasn't out looking for love. My job at the time was an office junior where I was the only person based in the office full-time, didn't have a lot of work to do and was there for 8 and a half hours a day to "cover the phones" so I had a lot of free time to mess about on the internet
I met up with him coz I was going to Manchester for the weekend to see a friend at uni and thought it would be a laugh. 4 years later we're still going stong

Can I say I'm off men too, even though I've been with DH for almost 10 years. I have an excuse...he's still wearing the sheep all in one suit I made for himThomzo wrote:OK - let's give it a go then...

In all seriousness though, I tried dating before I was married using the more traditional method of getting rat ar$£d in a pub and then pinching bums to see who would respond in an obligatory fashion, funnily enough it never worked until I declared I was off men, and then lo and behold husband appeared one night at a works crimbo 'do'. 15 pints of stella and he was all mine ( albeit a mess on the floor)...those were the days

Hey !!! I'm off Women...for good this time.
Very few -ish minded ladies near me.
Relationships last a few months til they
are sick and tired of my lifestyle...or Me ???
It seems the few that'll date me are intriged
by the selfsufficient-ish lifestyle,
til they find out about the work involved.

Re: Online dating; here we go again !!!!
All the dating sites seem to be full of timewasters and dreamers who like the idea but find it hard to give up their urban trappings. No pain no gain.
