Feeling a bit sad and sorry for myself:(

Here I am,A Saturday eve and my girls with her dad and his gf.
I have to say,I really miss the company of a man (no,I don't mean just sex,I mean cuddling up on the sofa watching a movie,have a meal,a chat,whatever)
I miss being in love with someone who feels the same way.

Have a casual thing going on with a much younger guy,we have a great laugh,great sex,have become great mates,but that's all it'll ever be,casual.
I'd so love to meet someone who'd like a serious relationship,but sometimes I wonder if it'll ever happen.

Went on PlentyOffish for a laugh,chatted with a guy for quite a few weeks,he asked me out on a date(once we'd get to know eachother better),seemed dead sweet,seemed to have his head screwed on,v attractive etc etc.Then suddenly his emails(and they used to be many and frequent!) stopped and I was like-What?!.Fair enough if we'd met,but we hadn't...,or if I'd been firing off messages 24/7 and acted like some bunnyboiler.But no,his last message went along the lines of-Hi hun,so happy to see your message yadiya bla bla.Then, that was it!(weird!)
he might have met someone else from the site who'm he clicked with,but come on,just say so then,what's the biggie?I'd
understand.Instead he just went underground!lol

That kind of gave my confidence a bit of a knock,thinking what? Are all the guys on these sites complete twats,or did I just find a bad egg?

Anyway,hope someday I'll find that special someone who'll love me,who'll become a great friend to my little girl(she's already got a dad,so don't need another one!lol),I've just had it up to here spending nights on my own,I need some love in my life!
I shouldn't complain,have the most wonderful daughter,great friends,great family,but is it wrong to want to fall in love again and be happy?
Sometimes I just think I'll always be single...(sorry,usually not this negative at all,but am having a real "feeling sorry for myself moment

Hi tetti. You have to kiss alot of frogs to find your prince. You are way too good for him, he knew that and didn't want to waste your time. Your prince is trying to find you. Don't give up.

Thank you for your kind words:-)x.
Yes,I think I'll def bump into some frogs along the way.I guess I'll just have to keep my life full and enjoy it,and hope that one day(hopefully,not too far away)that I'll meet that special someone who will put a big smile back on my face again.

Oh yes,I def agree on that.I've completely disregarded two real hunks,simply because they very clearly just wanted to get in my pants!They saw my pic(not on my profile,I just send it if I like the look of someone),and straight away the leches in them came out(Hey,can I have your number now?Can I see you?Are they implants?)
Very funny actually as my pic is the least provocative ever,the only skin you see is that on my face!lol.And as for asking about my boobs,come on,and by the way,my figure is that of Kate Moss definetly,so their eyes must be decieving them very badly!)

Well,am def weeding out the bad ones on there.There are 2-3 that I really like the look of,but,let's see if they reply,and if they've actually got some substance to them.I am not out for someone to have just a bit of fun with,if that's what I wanted,I'd just stick with the toyboy...

I think tetti that as long as you treat it as a bit of fun and dont take it too serious you can get on ok on POF, maybe avoid the guys with loads of testimonals from girls using text speak like, luv ya, miss ya, his mine so back off ya over girls, mwah mwah, from ya baby girl

oh yeh what are they all about?

You have to agree to the testimonial going on the profile yes?? So clearly noone is going to allow a bad one online. And if they are so wonderful why havent these girls snapped him up?

Very bizarre

Saw one guy had posted a link to his MySpace page,omg,his friends consisted of very,ahem,lightdressed buxom women should I say,and plenty of comments like-Oh baby,when'll I c u again?Stay sexy for me (this was one of the tamest ones)
Seriously,no matter how hot a guy is,does he seriously think any woman will respond to that?(eh,obviously some does,he's on 181 members favourite lists!(some women completely stupid or what?!)
