Online dating...

So I had a look at a couple of online dating sites and signed up to the ones that seemed to have the least amount of freaks on. Blimey, it's a long old process filling in your details, isn't it?! I seriously got bored after a while but carried on regardless.  I had a little browse and can honestly say no one caught my eye. I thought I'd leave it and see what response I got.

Well..... I had some messages in the first 24 hours and it was rant inducing if I am truly honest.

My first messages were:
1. "How do you feel about all the rain?" - delete, how the eff do you think I feel? Dick!
2. "So the tennis was exciting wasn't it? Shame for Murray tho" - delete, I didn't mention I like sport in my profile so now think you're a knob who didn't even pay attention to it!
3. "I'm so excited about the Olympics" - delete, again sport, I have not once mentioned I like sport. Look at my interests and try to think of something I'd like to hear/read. Meh!
4. "Oooooh you look cheeky" - delete, I'm not effing 5!!!

Oh and another thing, don't message me if you live 300 miles away from me... yeah cos that's gonna work. Serious case of eye rolling going on!!

So far, not so good! I am so glad I didn't pay for the privilege to reply to these morons, although it would have been so funny to put together some replies.

I have no faith in online dating so going to try the good old fashioned method, meeting people in actual real life!

And interestingly, I have a date Sunday. With an old friend. Who became single about a year ago. Who has serious baggage and a psycho ex.

This is going to be interesting.  Watch this space!

Till next time, cheery bye xx

Let me introduce myself

Welcome to my new blog!

Thank you for taking the time to read, and apologies if you are here from my spamming.... (I promise it will be worth it in the end).

I have decided to start a blog as I begin a(nother) new journey in my life, which is to lose weight and meet Mr Right.

So, a little about me... I am in my early 30s and have two children. I'm slightly overweight and have been single for almost 3 years so have decided its time to take action. Serious action this time.

I have been on millions of diets, you name it, I have tried it.  I just find it so hard as I bloody love food. Bad food. And alcohol. I have now decided that if I want to attract a man, I need to look and feel attractive.  I am not saying overweight ladies are not attractive, as there are many beautiful bigger ladies out there. I just don't think I look attractive and I certainly don't feel it.  I need to love myself before anyone else will love me.

I have joined the gym and started to eat healthily so lets hope this is the last diet I ever go on.  Maybe I will meet someone nice at the gym too? I need to get my butt in gear and actually attend regularly.  It seems there is always an excuse...

I have been single for the majority of the last 3 years by choice, after 2 horrendous relationships.  I needed to find myself and be on my own.  Best thing I ever did. However, it has made me a little fussy on the potential man front.  I know what I want. I won't give up my single life for the wrong person.  It needs to be right.  I hate dating.  I am rubbish at it.  How do you date? How do you meet men?  This is what I need to work out.

Well I am off to explore the delights of some online dating sites... I shall report back.

Till next time, cheery bye xx
