BMW Loser!

Monday, August 10th, 2009

Ok little more to it with this bloke, I call him the BMW guy because he’s one of those guys who uses his BWM as compensation for is small….ego shall we say ;) The first dates were fine, great even, it was the way he treated me afterward that really requires some revenge! Ok my mum set me up with a bloke from work. He was really nice, he txt me quite a bit, seemed really eager, on our 6th date he drops me off home after a kiss and a cuddle in the back of his car and says “ok babe i’ll see ya next wednesday, i’ll give ya a txt 2morro ok”, few days go by….. Nothing, I Mean Nothing, No txt, no phone call nothing!

I took the hint and didn’t bother. 2 weeks later i got a txt, “sorry ain’t talked to ya in a while work messing with my head, do u wanna go out nxt wednesday?” I said ok to the date. Next wednesday comes along 2 hours b4 he is suppose to pick me up, he txt’s me saying “sorry cnt make tonight my mates have been in a car accident gotta go and see them in hospital, I’ll txt ya 2morro babe”, later that week i find out (from some people in work) this wasn’t true, (well his friends had been in a crash but that was the week before, he didn’t go and see them that night) he actually ditched me again to go to the pub, Ok i took it on the chin & carried on. 3 weeks go by, he txt’s me again “sorry blah sorry blah blah do u wanna go out nxt wednesday to catch up”. I stupidly agreed thinking I would get a decent appology, on the date he was really rude, he barely talked to me, txting on his phone every 2 seconds, just all in all a miserable pillock! Then at the end of the date, we use to finish things off with a kiss and a cuddle in his car,but not this time, he said “I think I’m gonna go home now, I’m tired from work”. I said “ok see ya soon then”, He said his famouse line “I’ll txt ya 2morro ok”, To which i replied “I DONT THINK I’LL HOLD MY BREATH”. I went home and I havn’t heard from him since! Now every time I see him in work, I either get a half assed hello, or an awkward glance! ha ha ha! I know we wern’t serious or anything, but i thought this really wasn’t called for, I did nothing to deserve this, so this was my revenge, I’m over this, His Loss :)

Online Speed Dating vs. Real speed dating

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

A friend of mine went to a speed dating event a couple of weeks ago and he loved it and wants me to go next with him.

I have always wanted to go to one of the speed dating events but never had the nerve to go when you can sit at home then go speed dating on your computer and it’s free and you can have as many dates as you want and i guess becouse your more relaxed you are more like yourself.

So come on what’s your thoughts on this

Why Online Dating Is Perfect For Single Parents

Friday, October 17th, 2008

Being a single parent can certainly be a tiring task these days. Many single parents juggle a job with looking after their children and everyday tasks like cleaning, maintaining the home, maintaining the car and visiting family. Unfortunately, this leaves little time for dating and so if this applies to you then you are effectively neglecting your own human wants and needs. Single parent dating is not a guilty pleasure or anything you should feel ashamed of but taking the time to find a partner could enable you to fill a hole in your life. Online dating can help you.

One of the main problems with single parent dating is that individuals cannot find enough time to fit dating, especially going out and meeting people, into their schedule. This is hardly surprising when you consider that an individual is not guaranteed to meet the right person right away. If you are a single parent then you have the added complication of finding someone that will also accept your children as part of the deal. However, single parent dating in an online capacity does solve many of those problems.

Single parent dating online can provide a breath of fresh air for mums and dads that do not have the time or inclination to go out and meet people. There are no set times that you have to turn up or even set days that you have to log on. Instead, you can check in on the site as and when you get time from the comfort of your own home. If you are sitting on your couch in old pyjamas with baby food in your hair and bags under your eyes then it really does not matter because nobody you may want to date can actually see you!

One of the best things about online dating for single parents is that they are meeting likeminded people, many of whom will have children of their own upstairs in bed or at school whilst they are on the Internet. As such, you do not have to broach the subject of the children and pray that it will not affect the person you are dating or your relationship. As others on the single parent dating scene are in the same position as you, it is an unwritten and unspoken fact that they will accept your children as part of the deal. As such, it is certainly a way to solve all of your dating problems!

How To Make Online Dating Work For You

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

There seems to be two distinct opinions about online dating in existence today. The first is that it is a fantastic service that caters to the modern man and woman that does not have the time to conventionally date or wises to screen dates first. The second is more negative and seems to imply that online dating is in fact a scam or worse, a marketplace for the sad, lonely and weird. No matter which camp you fall into now, if you ever have a good experience on a dating site then you will perceive it in a whole new light.

In actual fact, your online dating experience depends on what you make of it. You have to make the experience work for you as opposed to the other way around. You should be proactive and cease the opportunity presented to you with both hands. The tips below will help you to make the most of online dating and find exactly what you are looking for at the same time.

  1. Choose A Positive Approach – Never join a dating site thinking it will be a disaster. Online dating will be a disaster for you if you take that approach because you will not allow yourself to enjoy the experience. Look upon it as a bit of fun that could lead to some lasting friendships and perhaps a little love. Amy negativity or contempt you feel for others on there will shine right through and you will not get anything from the experience at all.
  2. Keep An Open Mind – Never judge a book by its cover, and never judge the person you meet on the site via one email or conversation. Take the time to get to know the individual a little before you make up your mind about someone. Everyone wants to make a good first impression and so will be nervous. Allow at least a couple of conversations before you judge.
  3. Take It At Your Own Pace – Do not rush into anything. If you do not feel ready to concentrate on one person then do not do it. If you wish to keep your options open then say you are looking for friendship rather than a relationship. Never commit to anything before you are ready because it really could burn you later if you do.
  4. Remain Mysterious – Only ever reveal the details about yourself that you are happy for individuals that you have never met before to know. If you do not want to use your date of birth then stick to the month and year. If you want to be known by a nickname then you can be. Never give your address or phone number out at all. This is all for your own safety as much as for the sake of the experience. Just relax and enjoy it but never put yourself in danger.

The Benefits Of Online Dating

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

Online dating has traditionally been perceived as a kind of last chance saloon when it comes to meeting your perfect partner. Many people have believed in the past that only those unable to meet anyone in any other way have turned to the multitude of websites available. However, that is most definitely not the case today. Instead, people use online dating sites for finding companions and potentially love for a whole host of other reasons. So much so that it is the fashionable way to meet people today!

The reasons why so many people use online dating sites and consider them fashionable today are linked directly to the benefits of dating online. Society has really changed in terms of the general attitude in the last 10 years or so and people have no time to waste today. They cannot sit around and wait for love to come to them because it does not all happen that way. As you can see, people are also realistic! They take their lives by the scruff of the neck and make things happen, which is why the benefits of online dating outlined below are relevant to modern life.

  1. You can meet people in the comfort of your own home after a long and hard day at work. Many people do not want to go out after work, especially if they work long hours, so love often suffers, but not if you tap into online dating for ten minutes whilst sat on the sofa in your pyjamas.
  2. You can judge people on their personalities rather than their looks. All too often, people initially go for looks but this is not the great basis for a relationship and you could spend too much time on the wrong guy or girl as a result. However, online dating allows you to find someone that you get on with and if they look good then so be it.
  3. You can get to know someone in a safe and controlled environment. Online dating can bypass the issues of safety that you may face in the real world. If you choose a safe site and steer clear of revealing any personal information about yourself then you will find the experience very enjoyable.
  4. Getting to know someone is much easier via online UK dating. You have no awkward silences and no distractions so you can really get to know someone well before you even meet.
