i was just wondering ...

ive sent a few messages,flowers ,,mainly to guys who have looked at my profile a few times..

and they either dont get back to me,or get back to me and say,,,

i dont want to be involved with girls with kids..
i would prefer you lived closer....
i dont think we would click....

you look nice,but we dont have same interests..

blah,blah..the list goes on...

what ever happened to giving someone a chance..

i wouldnt mind but some of the guys are early forties--surely they too have lived and come with a past-as i do !!!
are you better off with no photos and small amount of info on your profile to keep the mystery...


dunno

Hiya wave

No, i don't think there is anything wrong with being honest. If they can't accept you for who you are then its their problem not yours...JMO

No, If something is going to effect a relationship is best that it is out in the open. I mean you wouldnt want to go out with a guy who wasnt interested in a women with kids would you.

Well if I see that a guy has looked at my profile and not made any contact I would presume that he wasnt interested thats just me because I have looked at profiles and if Im not interested then I wouldnt make contact with them. If I saw a guy looking at my profile every day and not contacting me then I would send a jokey email or flower. Then again Im on the site over 2 1/2 years and I could count on one hand the amount of dates Ive been on???????
Stick with it and dont give up.teddybear
Anyway would you want some one in your life that was so quick to judge you especially on a few lines dunno dunno

i think pictures and an informative profile are the way to go..

best to put the important stuff out there for guys to see, that way, when someone does show interest he'll know the main stuff about u..

i'm one of those guys who wouldnt be into getting into someone who has a chld already.. its nothing against the woman, its juts a personal prefernce that if i was to get into a relationship with someone and maybe start a family, i would want her first child to be my first child too..

just a personal preference, not a slight on single mothers..

keep your profile the same and be patient... i know its an old clice but be open, honest, and the right guy will showhis head eventually.. whether online or the next time your in tescos.. best of luck hun..bouquet

DUBLINGUY1973: Yeah maybe but say they get to know you and then decide they dont want to be with someone with kids later. That would hurt more i think. I think sometimes its better to know where you (not them) stand sooner rather than later.


oh god i didnt mean not mention my daughter----

my daughter is my oxegen,,my first and last thought every day.

i just meant general stuff

Im constantly accused of being too fussy but I dont think I am dunno I have an idea of what type of man Im looking for and Im not going to settle for anything less Im not looking for mr. perfect just a mr who is perfect for me.

Maybe you should look at these men as not being the right ones for you rather than you not being the right ones for them maybe by not replying or contacting you they are actually doing you a favour dunno
