Oh Dear

Now, I would say all in all my experience of online dating has been immense fun! The only downside so far seems to be actually meeting these people! I got a 'thanks, but no thanks' from last nights last minute 'face to face'.

Nice looking guy, nice personality. He just forgot to tell me his first wife was an alcoholic (and he never drinks), until I was just about to order my THIRD glass of red! Whoops... I thought he wasn't drinking because he was driving :/

Note to self... always read your Potentials profile thoroughly. Especially the bit that says "Drinks: Daily/Socially/Never"

I've checked out my Potentials drinking habits:

Dubliner 1 of 2 (arriving tomorrow) - drinks socially
Dubliner 2 of 2 (with wine cellar) - drinks daily (no surprises there then!)
Potential with no name - drinks socially ('face to face' next Tuesday)
New Potential (Scot in England) - drinks daily

Phew! They all passed :)

So... the big event tomorrow. Dubliner 1 of 2 (my fav! I know, I keep switching them) is on his way here! I'm now getting a bit concerned, becuase he's more than 'seems nice'... more like 'seems amazingly fab'. But what if he's not in real life? What if all his emails have been written by an amazingly fab friend of his, and he's as dull as dishwater?

Maybe I'll call it off and just keep it to emails from his amazingly fab friend instead!

Off to see beloved family for food later... thank you people! Only one problem, I'm not sure if it was the food/drink last night, or butterflies at the prospect of Dubliner 1 of 2 being amazingly fab, but I feel a bit sick :(

Out of the blue

A 'face to face'... this evening! Blimey, went to bed last night (after enjoying the dulcet tones of Dubliner 2 of 2), woke up, checked emails.

A brand new Potential!!

He seems nice (hang, I seem to say that about everyone). So I emailed him back, and toddled off to work. Then I had another email asking if I wanted to meet him at the weekend (I can't, remember - Dubliner 1 of 2 is detouring my way!). But then he asked if I was free this evening, and I am (I did have every intention of doing my nails, but now there's a nice meal/drink for me!)

So, he's from Bristol (so we're only separated by a channel, not a big sea), he's got a good job, he's clean and tidy! Does seem a little overwhelming (I really don't think even I can be classed as someone's soulmate in a second email, but there you go!)

I've got 1 hour from getting home to get ready, which includes somehow hiding 2 spots... why, when I've got 2 'face to face's this weekend.

God of Clear Skin... I haven't been a bad person, so why do this to me!

I'll update you after the date. Fingers crossed!!

ooh... I've also had an email of someone asking for my pic. He seems nice...

My new fav!

Dubliner 2 of 2 (with wine cellar)... top of my list now!

I've just spoken to him, and he's a lovely lovely person. I want him to phone every morning to wake me up, he's got such a sweet accent!

Got a new Potential today too. From Weston Super (night)Mare. A scary place indeed... I'm not sure I've ever met a normal person from there, but his emails are so funny!

Anyway, Back to Dubliner 2 of 2! Swoon :)

Oh yeah, and Sailor Boy. Gone! Like a ship that sailed in the night!

1 of 2, or 2 of 2?

Chatted on the phone to Dubliner 1 of 2 for 2 hours... his accent melts me! The detour didn't happen, but he's back in the same country as me this weekend! So we're going to meet up on Sunday :)

Progress with Dubliner 2 of 2 (with wine cellar). We've swapped phone numbers too! He's going to call tonight - I wonder if his accent is as fab as 1 of 2's!

Three new winks yesterday too... haven't had a lot of time to see what they're like, but I will tonight (after lesson with Gorgeous H!)

TXT spEk... argghhh

Word of advice to Potentials... anyone who emails me in TXT spEk is going nowhere (or as they say - goin n whr!)

There's a time and a place for those little half words and symbols (when your mum is paying your mobile bill, so everything has to be limited to 160 characters).

I want emails I don't need my son to translate (it could be embarrassing!). I don't want "hA, do U wnt 2 MEt ^ sometime s%n"

Didn't bother spell checking this one - it would take too long :)
