It would have to involve cash... No way would she consider swapping her 50D for a 20D without her palm being greased... haha
 
Squizza & The King of Groove sounds good to me!
 
I met Nick at work. Id been there a year, he had been there for about 8 years. We got on really well for that year and suddenly I realised I liked him more than that, luckily he did too and we had our first date on Valentines Day watching Leicester City play Derby County! We got married 3 1/2 years later and that was 18 months ago.

We still work together, same floor but different departments.

I've just signed up to it:D But it says something about blocking the messages until you become a subscriber? In other words, is this another of those many almost scamming sites where they just rip you off?:thinking:

I thought POF was free? I'd not worry too much if you can't get in to it anyway. Whenever I've browsed it (no need to subscribe) it's brought up a right little chav fest (for the most part) in my locality :lol:

For me it was easy. I wasn't happy with what I had in my current relationship. Then, one day, when I was walking past jessops she caught my eye. I went in, asked if I could handle her. We've been together for 7 months now, going strong.

I totally love my 7D.

She must have a twin sister!!:D
 
If I told you, you probably wouldn't believe me.

OK, then.

I was conducting undercover surveillance in a pub (the best sort of undercover surveillance) with a colleague. See, I knew you wouldn't believe me.

Nothing much was happening so we got chatting to a couple of girls. After a while we noticed they were with this bearded bloke from Leeds that was hanging around. It turns out that they were part of some weird sect and they were staying sober. It was far too late for me and my mate by this stage as we both enjoyed the local brew. At the end of the night (early hours), when some inconsiderate person wanted to close the pub, beardy offered to give us a lift. I think. Anyhow, there were seven of us in this ancient vdub beetle - oh, and his guitar although I've no idea where it fitted in. And yes, we were given a lift but he didn't ask us where to!??! So we went along with the party who were visiting a friend (my future swmbo) of theirs who wasn't a member of their weird sect. Got to the friend's house just in time to pass out.

Some time the following day, I vaguely remembered that I'd arranged to meet this girl two days later. I had to ask my colleague when and where. Anyhow, I walked in and there she was - jumping up and down on a trampoline :love:
 
very odd how it works, 4 years happy as larry, 2 years single and looking, now 3 come along at the same time! Chose the ginger one......Happy as larry
 
In my case it was in a pub in the wee small hours. I was more than a little smitten and also as rissed as a pat! In lieu of sensible conversation (which I was incapable of) I wrote my phone number on her arm in biro.

Shalln't do that again! :D

Nah.... was with a tog previously. Don't want to go there again. I'm a firm believer that having something in common isnt such a great thing, from experience.
 
I don't think you find it when you're looking for it Sarah - you sort of trip over it. ;)

You might well have something there. It's good to have some things in common, but enough differences so you don't end up with own space.

Have to agree. The harder you look the less likely it happens. Fate has a funny way of putting us where we're meant to be when we're meant to be there. In the meantime you could advertise and have a laugh... :lol:

Having an interest in common is not a bad thing, but you need to have separate hobbies and friends as well. Can't live in each others pockets ... (well, I can't).


To use me as an example, I have my motorsport / classic cars as my main hobby and photography is a more recent and secondary one. My ex gf had a horse that she was training up to do eventing. So I used to spend time in the garage getting oily, she used to spend time in a field / livery yard doing horse stuff. When she took the horse showjumping or dressage-ing I'd sometimes go along to support, she's sometimes come along when I was competing, but a large part of the time we spent on our hobbies was separate.

Gotta agree with this, although it works for some folk.

When it came to having stuff in common, me and Mrs Sane had very little apart from similar views on a couple of things that were important to us - and a similar taste in music. We are from totally different background (Not quite polar opposite but not far off) and had very different upbringing.
 
I met my last partner whilst hedge laying in Devon whilst on a National Trust Working Holiday. If you love nature, want to contribute, do some physical work and meet some like-minded people it's a great way to do it. It can also work as one big singles event with quite a few relationships forming.
 
I had a friend who admittedly was a little bit nuts but described the following to me:

If you are on the lookout for love (or just out on the pull and a little bit desperate perhaps) then the opposite sex can see desperate vibes emenating from your head and they steer clear. He described these vibes as something akin to Spidermans 'spidey sense' waves from the early comics...

He used to say women have special powers to see only men's and vice versa :D

But on topic? Split from my ex, had to go back to mum's for somewhere to sleep whilst the dust settled, got chatting to mums neighbour, a pretty italian lady same age as me, then after a while became my mum's neighbour. We have been together 10 years and now have little Max and are as happy still. Wasn't looking for anything, in fact quite the opposite and I think she was in the same boat having just gone through a split herself, so it goes to show it can just fall on your lap without realising.

I was 17 she was 15 - I saw her on the way back from Belgium in the middle of the North sea on an overnight ferry in 1989

She went home to Scotland - I went home to England.

It's a long story and took a bit of 'Magnum PI' detective work on my part but I found her and here we are.
