OMIGOD.... I'm not having much luck with this online dating nonsense. Good grief there are some utter scandalous weirdos out there, it's all very worrying.
Since I wrote & posted a profile detailing myself the messages have dwindled somewhat... no surprise really... I think a lot of men are threatened by an attractive woman with a brain. Unfortunately the messages I am getting are still majorly based on looks and you know they've not read a single word I've typed, just had a sneaky pervy peek at my photos and sent me some unimaginative message entitled Hi... yawn!
Some have made me laugh and some have just made me recoil in complete horror.
One guys profile was so full of self-confidence that I messaged him just to see if I fitted the bill as a 'fox'... it appears I do not... sad times!
I'm not surprised though, he likes a girly girl, petite, blonde etc etc. I think a Cider swigging, rugby fanatic would be his worst nightmare hahahaha!
I would have given up by now but there is one guy that's caught my eye... we've been chatting for a couple of days... his banter is good and his pictures show he's a complete fitty... just my type and as an added bonus... he's 6'3" BOOM!
He asked me on a date... kindof... well I'm not sure if he did exactly or if it was some 'down with the kids' gentlemanly way of asking me for a one night stand. It's all so terribly complicated isn't it!
The conversation went a bit like this... (I've cut out the boring bits)...
HotGuy (not his actual user name): So what do you do for a living?
Me: I'm a full-time student, youth-worker and I work in a shop
HotGuy: Wow that's impressive... so it's going to be hard to pin you down for a date then?
Me: Well... I'm off Uni until end of Jan so I'm free this month but then it's gets a bit sticky until mid Feb & then Easter. I've obviously got a few days off in between but I work some really crappy shifts so it gets difficult on times to make a plan. I do drive tho... wouldn't actually expect you drive to *small town*... bit far... meet u half-way?
Hot Guy: No, I don't mind driving to yours! I can find a hotel and crash there. Hows that sound? x
Me: Sounds scary... *small town* isn't anything spectacular... U sure u wouldn't like to meet in London or somewhere fun?
HotGuy: Its totally your call! x
Me: I think we would have a more memorable time away from *small town*. I'm worried that you'll drive all this way and not have a very good time. Is it easy for you to get into London? It doesn't have to be London of course, could be anywhere else... just not *small town*.
When are you thinking anyway? Weekday or Weekend? I work Saturdays until 6pm but I'm always off on a Sunday x
HotGuy: Weekend, maybe a Friday? You gonna go home or gonna stay in London? Whens your last train?
Me: (At this point I'm in utter panic)... I work until 8pm on Fridays... told you I worked crappy shifts... sorry :(
I work Thu, Fri & Sat... free all day every other day up to the 30th
Do you mind if I don't stay? My housemate moves out next week so I'm stuck for a dog sitter until I find someone new to move in.
It's all a lot more complicated than it should be, sorry.
If you fancy an evening thing then trains run frequently until late so there's plenty of time and Sunday trains run frequently until late also x
And that's it... not a word since... two days I've been waiting for a reply... he's been online... I can see that much... and it's at this point I remember just how much I despise the dating scene... URGH!
