Yesterday I was discussing meeting new people, specifically new men, with a friend who suggested I join an Internet dating site. Really it didn't seem like a good idea but I've made friends on the Internet over the last year so I thought why not give it a go. In the last 24 hours I think I have confirmed why I thought it was a bad idea.
I've been talking to one nice guy, who wasn't put off by my kids, or me technically still being married and who told me he has kids of his own and when he sees them. 1 nice guy (maybe)
BUT I have been called 'hun' by people I don't know, one guy was oh so lovely until he told me he was looking for adult fun 'in and out of the bedroom' and 3 people who were looking for 'no commitment because I'm married'
Do women really respond to creeps like that? Are some women that desperate for a man in their lives that they will have anything to do with men like that?
This is the side of the Internet that my mother warned me about ;-)
I think I will be deactivating my account pretty quickly although meeting new people when you're at home all day with the kids isn't easy so maybe not. I don't know really but it's been a weird 24 hours.
One thing to assure anyone who reads this, I will not be getting on a train and travelling a couple of hundred miles to meet someone I've never met before in an underground restaurant because obviously no sensible person would do that ;-)
(in all seriousness I really wont be doing that)
No, because you need to meet a group of people in an underground restaurant, not one solitary man.
ReplyDeleteAnd because I don't want to put this on twitter - LF was very good (as were all the actors), but I know you're a Lewis fan. He plays one role all the way through until right at the end, when it changes and was very sad and poignant. And you suddenly realise that you've misinterpreted the character the whole way through. Very convincing. It also didn't hurt that in the first act he kept getting changed on stage, stripping down to his briefs ;)
I won't be meeting anyone any time soon and am seriously considering cancelling my registration, the world if full of odd people!!
DeleteI am so jealous about the play, we seriously considered going to see it but thought my baby sitters might think we were taking the mick if we set off for London again. I'm glad it was good and I think LF will not be short of work, he does a great job of most things as far as I can tell from reviews.
