Monday musings and weekend boozings.

Well...

Some of you may have read my other blog (the emo was so rife in the old one that I decided to start afresh) katsramblesthroughlife and decided to stick with me here. Or you may be completely new, if you are: Hello!

To kickstart this new Diary I am going to tell you about the last few days...

I am single and have been for a while now and so I thought to myself: Dating sites, go? Yes!

I am on www.plentyoffish.com and am finding it all a little daunting to be honest with you. I registered on Saturday and today is Monday. I have now 35 pages of messages...*35* I have NO idea what the hell is going on and my head is a bit whacked from it all. I have tried my best to reply to everyone, even the one's I am not interested in as I find it rude not to.

Some people obviously cannot wait a day though and have continously spammed me over and over again. I have been bombarded with phone numbers, declarations of love (not joking) and a few would pay me for sex (um...) but there are a few little gems on there after you've waded through the hoardes of 'u luk wel fit' messages.

It is very hard to find someone who I find attractive and who doesn't talk like a complete idiot. I am in no means the best looking or the smartest person on there but a little decorum wouldn't go amiss, surely?


Here are some of the messages I have received thus far:

'you sound very nice

and i wouldnt mind getting to know you a little better

kev xx'

Now that is fine. I will overlook the spelling and the fact that he has put two x's after his message. I am a strange woman on the internet, do not give me kisses.

I then get a second message from him less than 2 hours after the first...

'Sorry if I sounded a bit eager

Maybe coffee sometime

Kev'

No kisses this time. I have not replied to the first message yet as I am busy and doing some daft Chemistry Q&A on here. Kev, calm down. So I send him this message the next day (Sunday) as it was getting late:

'Hello :)

Sorry about my untimely reply! As I've only just joined I am still getting to grips with it all :/

Hope you are well.

Kat.'

I get a reply almost instantly. Kev has obviously not left the keyboard.

'Yep I'm fine

Where abouts in wxm have you moved to ?
I live in town centre

Kev x'

The kiss is back. It annoys me. I decide to get ready and hop on a train to visit family as I've not seen them and my Grandmother is unwell. Anyway, in the meantime...

'so going out on a limb, how about a coffee or sumat next weekend well i say coffee but i cant stand the stuff but its an icebreaker non the less

bit forward i know but i'll put my number txt me or call or whatever

kev x

07---------'

I get back home and receive that. Kev, what in the actual fuck are you doing giving some random woman on a dating site your number? Seriously now. A bit forward? Try a LOT forward! So he wants to take me for coffee but he hates coffee? Am I meant to sit there and drink mine with Kev staring at me all doe-eyed? Kev...suggest something we would *both* like to do. So, I am mulling over a reply and it's about 9pm on Sunday when I get another message...

kevbam has used some points and bought you this gift!!!.

didnt mean to be sarky

kev x

Good Christ on a bike. Kev has sent me a virtual rose with his virtual points.

I close the laptop and go downstairs to drink most of a bottle of white wine. I then drive my housemate crazy and cry. Not strictly because of Kev but because I cannot seem to find anyone who doesn't drive me mad.

So...there we have it! I have many, many more messages but that is an example of what they usually contain.

Guys: Please don't go mad if a girl doesn't contact you straight away, it makes you a peck-head and whilst women like a keen bloke it is creepy if you keep spamming her all the time.

That's me done for now! I'll probably post another about this woman that sent me a message, trawling for a girl to have a threesome with her and her boyfriend...
