Even though my ex was not a very nice person, it was a very long time ago. After all this time, of course, I can find something good to say about him....
I still don't understand what their intentions are for being here, as it can't possibly be to meet someone? Is it that some just see it as a vehicle to vent their spleen after a bad day at the office?!
I think I'm allowed to reproduce what's on my profile, as its MINE:
"About me and who I'm looking for
About me: I am just here to lark about on the Forums really...
Anything else, just ask, yeah?! Ohhh, and if you don't have a pic, chances are I won't respond unless I know you!
I'm looking for: In the interests of clarity...not looking, just here for the Forums. AND... if you don't have a pic, chances are I won't respond unless I know you!
One MORE time....?!!
Ohh dear.... it would seem further clarity IS needed. Okay....
About 3-4 days ago I had a pic of me and my fella as my primary pic for a little over 24 hours.
During this time, I had a guy contact me. Quite goodlooking, I guess, asking how my "larking about on the Forums" was going. He seemed friendly enough, I replied politely and he responded saying I seemed like a laugh. I got back to him, all very courteously, but also pointing out I was spoken for but always happy to make new friends.
The e-mail I got was "This site is called Connectingsingles, stop wasting everyone's time"!!!
Whoooaaa....
I remarked what a nice guy he seemed (Hmmm...) and pointed out that there are many members here that are attached and on the site/Forums for varying reasons, it was not against the rules (T&Cs clearly state the crtieria as being unmarried and over 18 years of age).
I also pointed out to him that my profile clearly states "not looking, here for the Forums" at least 3 times as there does seem to be some difficulty in understanding what that means.... huhh??!! It also stipulates I am here for "Friends/Hang Out", and not forgetting the pic.....
Not sure what the difficulty is.... but there couldn't possibly be any confusion?!
What on earth to I have to do with my profile that would make it clearer?
I do suspect, though, that his intentions in contacting me may have been contrived...?! I am still at a loss to comprehend why those who behave in such a way are on a dating site?! Dunno.... any ideas?
What do you guys and gals think? Your viewpoints welcomed, of course, peeps.

Whooaaa.... I spent my late childhood/early teens in Bolton, Lancashire!! I am a northern lass but have been in the south of the UK (Hampshire) for over 30 years. Had I remained there, of course, I would have a reet broad accent, tha knows, by 'eckers like.... just as my fella has, as he is from my original neck of the woods.
Here in Hampshire there are two kinds of accents: one being somewhat yokel/farmer/countrified (particularly bordering on Wiltshire) and the other pretty non-descript really, often akin to the Queen's English in some respects, some rather "plummy". Mine being the latter (as in non-descript but not plummy). I did speak with someone on MSN messenger a fair few times (a real London boy) who declared my accent rather "posh".... dunno?! Nahhh...
I think Sommer articulated her explanation excellently!
I lose and pick up accents rather easily. I went to Canada with a broad Lancashire accent and was teased as noone could understand me. Over the years, I adopted a Canadian accent but when I returned to the north of England, again the rise was taken out of me as nobody could grasp what I said. I had the same dilemma when I moved to the south.....
RE: A really geeky question on dating.. and stuff. .
Nothing wrong with remaining friends with exs, though the fact that he also played around....DUMP HIM!!
