I posted a little while back about meeting a date whilst smacked off my tits on day nurse and antibiotics whilst suffering from a raging chest infection. Well to update we've been seeing each other ever since and are pretty much an item now... 
PS - when does 'the mental' usually start to rear it's ugly head..?? lol

Theres some strange people out there but heres a recent one Ive had dealings with.
Sent her a 2 line message on POF, get one back stating she's not into endless text messaging ( a small and subtle warning of what was to come) and would prefer if i gave her my number, this I do. Shortly afterwards at 5pm i get a message saying she will text me shortly. Fine no problem.
Nothing until 9 pm when she calls me, I guess its her as i don't recognise the number. Problem is Im driving with my son and a family friend in the car with me so I leave it thinking as soon as I drop said friend off Ill get back to her. Within 30 seconds a text alert goes off and my son who is holding the phone for me looks across at me with a look on his face and says quietly "she's rude!"
I drop my friend off and try calling the number back, straight to voicemail. I send a text explaining why I didn't pick up and apologising.
20 minutes later my phone rings I answer and i get "Who is this!!" Taken aback slightly i explain who I am and get a huff then cut off
Phone rings again straight away and she starts telling me how rude I am?! I calmy say that I explained in the text I sent her why I couldn't answer at the time. Again all i get is "You're rude, I can't believe you called me" With that I said "Dont bother" she cuts me off again.
2 weeks later Im still getting her number show up in my message list every day - 4 in the morning, 1 in the morning, afternoon, evenings.
So says unblock her and see what she's saying but I really don't want to get mixed up with her

I think I last posted on here when I'd just become single (she did the dirty) 6-7 weeks ago.
Well its not been an easy time but I think I'm emerging from the other side now!
Went on my first date since a week ago, absolutely gorgeous girl - got on very well, but it turns out shes only been single 2 weeks and isn't in a very good place, we're still in contact and she wants to do something again soon (we'll see!)
Have another date lined up next week with an absolute beauty! Seems really lovely, trying not to get to know her until the date (makes it very easy).
All from tinder, I put up a posey selfie of me in a suit and it suddenly seems like I've hit gold, loads of very nice matches!
Its going to be a fun winter

more from my workmate...
This time an opening message from a guy, saying the usual, looks lovely and sounds very interesting, would love an opportunity to meet for a coffee and get to know her...
But he wants her to know that he enjoys watching his partner have sex with other men and would need that to be part of any relationship he was in..
as an opener!! I'm not sure whether im horrified that thats his opener, or impressed that at least he's upfront and doesnt drop it in 12 months into a relationship.. but then, is POF the place for that, surely there must be "specialist" dating websites for people with odd tastes like that?

I would say that POF is the place for that and you would be surprised how many women are into that sort of thing. Out of the 30 or so women I went out on dates with, 3 of them admitted they had been to swinging parties in the past!
A female friend of mine is on POF and FabSwingers and her opinion is that they are basically the same, just people on Fab are more upfront about it.
It is way more common than you would expect....

Thank you match.com
I may have actually found that needle in the haystack! about bloody time too
Net dating is such hard work, it needs a middle man to vet the users really before they receive a profile, as the vast majority are not on the sites for the right reasons, weed them out and its a viable process. Business model there for someone.
Happy hunting lads and lasses

I met the most amazing guy on Match, he even has an MGB like mine only its green not pink. We are perfect together!!!! Prior to meeting him I did dating from A-Z and have to say I 'got the (stained) T Shirt' ! But when we met that was it - no more double dating. In fact I'm wearing his ring right now.

Glad to hear it! CB, you've been quiet of late...
I can't see a post CB posted 
. Bit of an update from me.
Girl I met from school again was a bit mad, very clingy. Wanted commitment after a week. Sex was good though!
Friend from work set me up with a date with a friend of his wife today. Think it went ok. Talked about a second date which is always good

Been seeing someone since end of September. Thought she was a bit of a gem and seemingly sane.Your post was quite timely as we had our first disagreement last night and now I'm on the receiving end of the mental
It's all my fault and she's done nothing wrong, I should agree with everything she has said, apologise and change what I do to make her happy. I tried logic and that failed, I hadn't actually done anything she just wanted me to make a promise I wasn't willing to as I knew I'd break it in the not too distant future. Logically you'd think a woman would respect the honesty, it wasn't even about fidelity just some of the risks I take in life in general make her uncomfortable, that'll teach me for dating some one who isn't like minded
Sorry love, f
k that st, I'm off. Other than that I'm too busy with work at th moment for Internet dating anyway, so I suspect there will be a few more months of silence while I use a couple of back up plans for non committed action

Met a lass of POF on Sunday, she is very pretty, eloquent, intelligent, independent and capable. Lots of texts and emails, try to meet up Friday or mid next week. Very happy!
it's a trap.Give it 3 months, the lack of logic will show through and you'll either run, get murdered in your sleep or work out how to deal with the crazy.

That's the right attitude.
fk it, in for the ride
I'm sure Tonker will be along in due course to add some pre-mental cynicism and offer some post-mental, competitively priced legal counsel.......f
k it, in for the ride I have a feeling this will be 'together forever' or drive the need for some robust legal support.... Middle ground is one feeling I am not getting.....
Ive been an avid reader of this thread without any contribution until now. The whole talk of 'the mental' seemed a bit OTT and i thought i must just be lucky with all the sane girls ive met......that was until last week! A severe case of the mental after half an hour of talking on Tinder!
Im of the 'swipe everything right and filter out later' view.
So, anyway the other day i get the usual notification sound of a match. Before i can even view is i get a message from her along the lines of 'hey, how are you this evening?'. I have a quick look at her pictures, looks ok, not my type though and lives about 60miles away. As i was bored i carried on the convo for a bit talking about the usual stuff then she asks me why did i swipe right? and that i must have liked what i saw. Im a firm believer in honesty so told her that i swipe everyone right then filter them out afterwards.......that was it, she went absolutely mental!
I was accused of leading women on, possibly missing out on the best girlfriend ever (her!), shallow, arrogant, etc etc the list went on. I didnt need anymore persuading, a quick unmatch and back to normality i went.
No more than 10minutes after this scare my phone buzzed, i had an email. Checked it and it was along the lines of 'WelshSuperModel has sent you a new message' (ive changed the name to protect her identity, although i wouldnt be surprised if she's reading this!) so i think hmmmm ok sounds mildly promising. So i click my POF inbox only to find that it's Tinder girl!......'why the fk have you unmatched me on tinder you arrogant ?!'. What made it even more amusing was that only then i realised i had also ignored 4 of her previous POF meassages that she had sent over the previous weeks which went along the lines of ...'hey'...'hey there'....'fancy a chat?'.....'hey!'...Obviously this poor soul couldn't take a hint, well, could but not very well!
Im just waiting for the facebook message from her now for the full house!
