Hmm First date. To be on the safe side best to meet somewhere rather than let you pick me up; that goes for taking me home also; preferably inside, as its cold out now and standing outside a tube station is not really my idea of fun. I'm not rich so please don't invite me to some expensive restaurant if you expect me to go half with you, I'm a dance teacher living on her own with bills to pay and a neck to keep above the water. I'm not one for being in debt for luxury. I like it the same as the next person but I value the security of the feeling that I owe nothing far greater. So A drink would be fine I don't really mind where, but its nice to know if its a local pub or posh wine bar so that I can attempt to dress appropriately. In this weather mind you I'll probably look like a snowman on first greeting anyway lol. Can you tell I don't like the cold ? lol. Cinema is a third date thing, first dates should probably be kept short as you hate to offend someone if they are not your type, especially if you are theirs. I can often do lunch or coffee around 12 or 1pm even if you are near Canary Wharf or Liverpool Street. I work days Tues, Wed, Fri; and every other Wed night in Nottingham for the next 3-5 months, apart from that its rehearsals and shows which vary. I like the water so anywhere near water seems to make me feel relaxed. Its my star signs trait I guess....... Cancer. Not that you men read any of that rubbish lol.

Here's a question for you... If I said I'd be yours would you still be coming here and if so why?

Love seems to be a never ending quest for most. People always seem to want more than they have, never satisfied with what they have found. A guy recently asked me what I was looking for in a man and I said 'If I like you theres no half way with me, the more love you show me the more I feel warmth with you. I can forgive almost anything, and even love your faults, if you SHOW ME I mean that much to you, and make me feel safe. BUT..... If I am not certain about you don't be clingy I need space to make up my mind if you are right for me'. SOMEONE RECENTLY TAUGHT ME THAT ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS. I always believed it was thought word and action, but your thoughts are usually what drives your actions, and without them words mean very little. I accept that dating is something people do to make up their minds if they want to be with someone, you should be serious before you ask them to stop dating other people, because then they expect you to be true.

For all of you guys that think I'm really popular as on over 200 favourites lists please realise that they mostly add me without even speaking to me. I once took a look at them and asked the first guy on the list why he added me because I was nothing like the type of woman he was looking for, he said; ' because I'm fickle' I just laughed to myself because of his honesty. Honesty is SOOOO important to me so I decided not to delete any of the people who added me, but to take it as a compliment. Its funny but as I get older the truth; even if it hurts, is better than a lie that you can feel.
WOW! Life is getting busy teaching new salsa classes everywhere very soon, schedule just got a little mad lately. Will be central Monday evenings from May Canary Whard Tues Nottingham Wed Stoke Newington Thursday

I can tell you that you will never know if you have an attraction for someone until you meet them. What these sites can do is assure you that you're not going to meet an axe murderer and that if even you don't fancy each other you should get along as people if you've spent some time chatting together and gotten along here.
What I'm looking for as a 37 year old female is

Someone no younger than 30 and no older than 45

Taller than 5ft8 so I'm not looking down on them with my heels on

looking for long term relationship

separated guys sorry but to me thats an unended relationship and I don't want to be in the middle of it so your definately a no thanks from me. Players stay away, I'm looking for a good guy who knows what he wants

Although I'd prefer someone who doesn't already have children thats unlikely so I'll just say that they shouldn't mind having one or two more and should have all previous children by the same partner. Also must be a good father to his existing children or I wouldn't have much faith in him.

I think thats about it, Do you think I'm fussy lol Well! you cannot be every bodies cup of tea but hopefully theres someone out there for each of us.

Please ask before you IM me as it interfears with anything else I may be typing and is annoying. I am going to the POF meet in Corks March 1st this Sat.

Asking myself why I'm still here; why is it so hard to meet someone I fancy who is honest and looking for something solid. Well update on my life. Having problems with new accommodation so that is one more stress to add to my schedule, but friends have been amazing and I feel really privileged to have such good people around me who love me. Going to Wales from Xmas unless I fall in love and decide the Bahamas sounds better lol NOOO I don't mean it my Mum would kill me lol. Maybe January.......... :)

OK had to post this cause it was so funny- It was written by a man so I guess this is the way it can be for them and wanted to be unbiased
