Where do I go from here?

Got an email from guy who made the strange mewling noises when he kissed me. He can't remember my name because he "has dated so many women" but he remembers kissing me. Charming! I remember him kissing me too! Shudder shudder!!! He wants to meet me again - for a night of passion! OMG!!

I won't waste my time replying to that!

Got several emails from guys with no pic even though it clearly says in my profile that I will not reply to anyone without one! They all say they have a good reason for not putting a pic up. A wife by any chance?

I'm learning fast.

Beginning to realize that men on the site treat it like a cattle market. They have plenty of choice so why stick with one woman? If they are not instantly attracted they do not give a relationship a chance, they simply move on. Even the ones who say they are serious about finding someone.

I decided to do a little research. I checked out other women's profiles. Loads of cleavage and open invitations to have some fun. Are they all desperate or what? It's no wonder the men are all looking for sex rather than a relationship.

There must be some genuine men out there. I'll keep looking but I won't hold my breath.....

Losing The Will

This online dating thing just gets harder and harder. I thought the whole idea was to make it easier to meet people!

I met a nice guy and we got on really well. Chatted for an hour and he asked me to keep in touch. I should  have realized! The kiss of death! Keep in touch. Man talk for "bye, I'll never see you again".

I sent him a quick message saying I had enjoyed our chat and would like to meet again. He didn't reply for over 12 hours and I knew he got the message as soon as I sent it. I also saw that he was chatting to someone else but didn't notice this until after I had sent the message. Damn!

Finally got a reply saying he had enjoyed the chat too and wishing me the best of luck for the future.

Oh well, back to the drawing board..........

Ups and Downs

I got a lovely email from the guy I was hoping would write to me. We went on chat and he still seems very nice! Things are definitely looking up! He told me loads of stuff about him and there weren't any awkward questions or pauses.

I like his pic too! Have to take it slow and see where it goes.

Well, that was the "ups" and now for the "downs". Went out on a "date" with the other guy I was chatting to. First impression when I walked in and saw him was positive. We chatted for hours and had a good laugh.

Sounds perfect right? Nothing in life is perfect.

A few things he said set off alarm bells but I thought, since they weren't big issues, I should let it go. He asked me what I expected and I told him I just wanted to take things slow and get to know him before even considering a relationship.

He agreed completely. He said he had no intention of jumping into anything and was relieved that I felt the same.

When it came time to leave he suddenly launched himself at me and glued his mouth over mine! I was taken by surprise but the strange mewling noises he started making, while kissing me, were a bit of a shock!

When he finally let me go he started telling me how sexy I was and that he would love to see me again. I said maybe we could met up at the weekend and that I would be in touch. He said great and could he leave his stuff at my house when we went out? I said "we'll see" and ran.

Omg, what happened to the taking it slow thing?

He was a nice enough guy but I'll have to make a decision about seeing him again. My instincts say no but perhaps I should give him a chance. AArgh!!!!

Better go and sit down quietly and think about this ........
