    You're being silly. I would see internet dating at any age as a very sensible attempt to cut out the endless merry-go-round of trying to meet someone on a night out.

    I have a cold-flu thingy since Saturday and feel awful, bones and muscles ache and have a very sore throat. :(

    Daughter is having a very hard time in school at the moment, teacher seems to have taken a huge dislike to her and is very tough on her. It was so heartbreaking to bring her back to school today after having been off since Thursday. I was so hoping that she would be happy going in this morning, but alas no.....we had tears galore yet again, with her wanting me to take her home. It was so hard to walk away, she is only 6 years old.

    Huge hugs to anyone else who is having a hard time at the moment.

I'm in my early 20's and I feel like it's more acceptable for the over 30's to turn to the internet for dating and that the general attitude would be why can't you just go out to the pub and meet someone like other people you age.

    I use online dating - friends I know use online dating. I've had some really good experiences through there. Of course there are a few odd 'uns too, but you're going to get that everywhere you go. There's actually a pretty decent thread here, where people discuss their experiences.

    If you're uncomfortable with telling people you met online - technically that's not where you met, that's where you started talking. Where you meet is wherever you organize your first date to be. The rest is just semantics.

    I met my current partner on an online dating site. I was very nervous at the begining and the members of the ladies lounge encouraged me all the way along!! I am really glad that I tried it and have no problem in telling people how we met. All my friends and family are more interested in my happiness rather than how we met.

    Question for ya ladies. Would it be rude of me to ask my oh's parents to get him a birthday present from his kids? It's very very unlikely that the mother will get him anything from them and I'm too broke.

    Opinions?

    Jane, I hope you and your grandmother get on okay today, PM if you need a chat :)

    Ivy, best of luck with the baba! Hope it all goes smoothly and mammy and baby are well :)

    Sunflower, congrats on the Samaritans course!

    Acoshla, hope you're feeling better today! As Honey said, some women are b*****s and revel in taking each other down to their own level. I've been there, it's not a nice place but you're so above them you can't even see them :) Focus on your work and the worthwhile people on your life, because that's all that matters in the long run.

    I decided to straighten my hair this morning, instead of doing the reading for the class I have now.

    Priorities....whatever :p

    little kids yeah? depends on what kind of terms you are on with the parents
    are you close enough? maybe say it as a suggestion "what do you think of this idea"

    Well if they know about your financial situation and the deal with the mother, they'll probably understand. Obviously if they're oblivious to it all, it might seem a bit strange, but not if they know what's going on.

    Just my opinion anyway :)

    They know the mother won't buy them anything for him. Not sure they know how broke I am. But they know I'm spending a fair amount on his birthday present and offered to help me pay for it so I'm hoping it doesn't come across as rude.

    Good luck in the clinic today Ivy!

    Right, today I am cleaning my house. which means I am putting away to laptop somewhere I can't find it and it can't distract me.
    I hate cleaning. Stupid dusty house.
    I want one of those hoovering robots.

    Acoshla, just read all that there about the b!tching on facebook. (although I'm not sure what secret groups on facebook are?)

    I'd normally can't hang around big groups of women for this type of carry on. I get on better with guys or one or two girls which is weird as I post in here so much. I hope today you can see it clearly for what is was. It hurts in the moment when you find out people are b!tching about you but you know yourself that you can't control it and for me anyway it never really impacts on my life so I just leave them at it. As someone else said you can move on and do something else but they'll still be stuck being b!tches.

    RE: online dating...one of my friends put me up on one last year. I know a good few people who met their now partners online. It didn't really work for me as you do have to commit to it a bit I think (and yes I get that it doesn't bode well if I can't even commit to an online thing) Just watch out for the weirdo's and feet worshipers :P

    Rang there. Tried this approach and it worked well. His mother thought it was a great idea.

    Happy with myself now !

    ...except I've put salad all over myself today. It just won't go in my mouth :D

    tell them he mauled you outside a supermacs at 3am like "normal" irish people get together, I wouldnt worry about it, my brief venture into online dating was fun, it just cuts through all the intitial flirting crap that goes with meeting people in pubs and clubs, and you know everyone is there for the same or similar reasons. have fun with it :)

    It's funny how meeting someone outside a pub/nightclub/fast-food place absolutely hammered is deemed socially acceptable and yet meeting online still has some stigma attached to it.

    poop :(

    I'll probably have to wait until I go to London so. I've got 2 really awesome pairs of combats I got last time I was there, but they're not every day wear, I'd like to get something just for regular wear.

    well, good news...

    I've gone and had a really wonderful weekend with my girlfriend, we really did a lot of stuff, went for a walk up a big hill, which was quite steep, on saturday, and a big long walk yesterday too. really shattered after all that, but it was amazing.

    I am really making good progress with my weight loss, I'll nearly have dropped a stone since christmas :D I'm quite amazed with myself, to be honest.

    and I finally have a new graphics card on the way, hurrah! I can get back to playing Skyrim and World of Warcraft and all that

    I understand! I met my boyfriend on Boards, but very few people know that! I lied to my family and told them I met him through friends, I told my friends I met him through family.

    It was just easier when we were just starting to go out without having to deal with all the judgement and questions from people. Don't think I'd really care now if they knew.

    I think its just cause its such a new form of meeting partners, people don't really know how to react? If you don't feel comfortable, just don't tell them how you met.

    Good luck with it :)

    I'm using Hotmail actually. Don't really want to stop using it because it's my personal one and I've signed up for a good few sites with that one. I have another one for official stuff like for putting on my CV and for my IVNA stuff.

    Jane get rid of it straight away! Everyone I know that used it has had theirs spammed or hacked or whatever! Mine did a couple of years ago, my brothers recently, my friend about a month ago everyone! Set up gmail and you get everything forwarded from your hotmail but close the account! Then you can continue to use it for the sites you've signed up to with it! It's easy to change the email address on sites anyway! It's worth it especially if you have contacts in your addresses book that are professional like college tutors/anyone you've applied to for a job etc! They'll send to everyone.

    PS Hope today went/is going well for you! XX

    Still very much confused over my boy but there's nothing I can do at the moment, we're on a break and it's just wait and see where we go from here when we meet up during the week! It's so hard, I miss him so much, hope he misses me too!!

    I've not seen a good pair of combats since for about 10 years, use to love wearing them with trucker t-shirts back in the day.
