Experiment One is Off.
Posted by Lucy Robinson at 16:55 on 12 Feb 2010
Further to my announcement on Wednesday regarding Experiment One, it is with regret that I must now inform you of its cancellation.
Why? Oh, I'll tell you why, dear Reader.
Me/Him: blah blah blah, low-level e-flirting, blah blah blah
Him: So do you want to go for a drink then?
Me: Yeah, go on.
Him: Just so you know, I'm not looking for anything serious. I don't mean I'm looking for a one night stand, I just know that women of a certain age tend to be looking for husbands so I felt I should warn you that marriage isn't on my radar at the moment.
I haven't replied because there is simply no point. There is nothing to say to a man like this. Instead I am going to go out, RIGHT NOW, to get drunk with my nice, normal, sane friends, lest my fingers slip and I tell this absolute scrotum of a man what he can do with his radar.
Yours, angrily,
Lucy.

Met a guy on an online dating site who spends half his time telling me he wants us to go on holiday together. The other half telling me he isn't looking for anything serious. Those sites need to improve their screening processes.

Oh Lucy I've had the same on more than one occasion. It's soooooooooo boring. I once replied 'well that's lucky cos I'm already married' !! Don't lose faith. You are brill.

Sat here in the same situation wondering whether to compose a reply to the man who says after numerous emails "Let me be honest, I'm just looking for a little female company". I feel so special right now....
