Take the hint... please!

Chainsaw guy... it doesn't matter how many times you wink at me I'm not going to have any 'Mutual Contact' with you. Ever!!!

A gold star for persistance though!

Number 16

Face to face... next Tuesday!

He's a local guy, involved in research and law. That's what he said, so I Googled him (it's not stalking. It's a perfectly valid and appropriate way of finding out more about someone. These days I'd be slightly more worried if Google found nothing... what does that say about a person!!)

Anyway, yes - I Googled him. for 'research and law' read Professor of Law. Blimey... an intelligent one! The Voice of Reason actually suggested I buy "Law for Dummies", so I'll know what he's talking about. And my beloved family have built this one up into some kind of mad professor, with wild grey hair, specs and sandals.

In a way that's good. I'm begining to think I should lower my expectations anyway, then as long as he's a little up the scale from The Missing Link I'll be pleasantly surprised!

And this time I may also take a bit of my mothers advice (for once). Her theory is this: because I always tell Potentials I'm a bit of a commitment-phobe they see it as a challenge, and that maybe, just maybe they'll be the one to make me change. So, her plan is for me to make out I'm looking for a very serious relationship, and to actually ask the dreaded question myself.

So, Number 16... just where do you see us going??

Stats!!!!

As I'm in bored mode, I thought I'd have a quick scan through the last six months, to work out how many Potentials I've had some kind of 'Mutual Contact' with.

Are you ready for this:

73 Potentials!!! 73 - that's just nuts (and that doesn't include any winks I didn't respond to!)

Before you all call me a floozy, I've only actually had dates with 15 of them (and only 9 of them had more than one date!). Fairly respectable, I think ;)

bored, bored, bored!!

That's right... I'm bored with my Potentials. I've just had my third date with Dubliner 1 of 3 (with wine cellar), and in what has almost become a pattern with me, after three dates I'm bored.

I know he's got a wine cellar, and that should be enough to have me welded to his hip for life, but no - it's not.

We had a great weekend, but he did the worst thing possible... he asked 'where did I see us going'!

Arghhh...he broke the golden rule! I seriously didn't know what to say. Not only that, he talked seriously about moving over here. I told him the reason I like him was because of the distance between us. If he moves around the corner it just wouldn't be the same!

So, I've kind of put him to the bottom of the list, while I continue my search for an equally commitment shy man of my dreams!!

I've been back on the dating site (mainly to make absolutely sure I'm going to get my next 6 months free). Almost immediately I got a new flurry of winks. Even more bizarrely some of the guys I've dated in the past (Rugby Guy, Chainsaw Guy, Dubliner 2 of 3) all got in touch too!

Now, as it didn't work out with them the first time round (apart from Dubliner 2 of 3, who was quite gorgeous and I'm glad he winked at me again!), why do they think it's going to work second time... Especially Chainsaw Guy?!?

Anyway... the new Potentials:

A slightly strange guy who named himself after Brad Pitt's character in Fight Club. That in itself should be enough to worry me, but no... he's quite funny, so we've arranged to meet up after Christmas (I'm going to struggle to find a free night before, what with work nights out, friends nights out... I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!)

And one other guy, who I'm meeting next week. He 'Seems Nice' (tm) , so I thought I should squeeze him in before Christmas.

Ooh, and Bruv... yes, I do remember who you are, and I'm sorry I missed you today. I'll check your blog to see if the catalogue of errors matches mine :)

December already!

I know, I'm getting terribly lax with this blog... sorry!

So, since last time what's happened?? My second date with Dubliner 1 of 3 (with wine cellar) was amazing!! I was the belle of the ball in the most beautiful dress in the world (II), and I got to wear my heels. I pleaded ignorance at the "no heels" small print :)

The party was a blast, and I even got to dance with Coldplay's drummer's dad! And Dubliner 1 of 3 was divine! Quite funny really, when the band were packing their gear away at the end of the night, the singer said he'd never seen somebody smile and giggle as much as I did! Sweet!

And the family... a typical Oirish lot, who could all seriously outdrink me (honestly... I was an amateur compared to them!). At the family lunch they had at least 6 different types of wine. Unfortunately I could only have one glass as I had to drive back later that day.

So anyway, since then... more dates with Yoga Guy. And I've even gone so far as to introduce him to my Bruv, and my friends (gulp!). I'm even thinking of taking him along to my office party. I know, this all smacks of commitment!!

Anyway, back to Dubliner 1 of 3... guess what?? He's coming over next weekend. So I've got to work out a weekend of entertainment so that he leaves thinking my part of the world is the coolest in the world. Easy!

Ooh, and in two weeks I'm entitled to my free 6 months on the dating site. If you don't find love within 6 months, you get another 6 months free. Well, I've found fun, scary moments, nice meals, pressies, neediness, and oodles of other stuff, but not love. Not enough to pass on 6 more months of dating.

Talking of which... it's time to do a new search. I think December will will have loads of new people on the site. December is a time when people become single - it saves you buying pressies!!

I want new dates :)
