I have now moved to "open communication" with Scarf Guy, which means we can now exchange proper messages. He sent the first, quite short as he was sending from an internet cafe while on holiday, but friendly. He told me a little about himself and asked a couple of things about me. He sent it earlier in the week, but I've only just got round to replying this evening. My message was longer than his, and hopefully struck a friendly tone and wasn't too boring.
I am still waiting for Barbados Man to reply to my last lot of questions. And a new guy has sent me questions. One is about how romantic I am, another about my idea of a romantic date, and a third about how physically affectionate I am (do I like hand holding etc). I am really not sure how to answer those. The multiple choices didn't include "no idea, never been in a romantic situation or been affectionate with a man"...This guy's profile put me off a little too. He'd written "dont" and "Im" (i.e. unpunctuated) and that is one of my absolute pet hates. It really doesn't take that long to put the apostrophe in, and without it the words are just plain wrong. Receiving messages spelt like that would drive me mad, so I may give him a miss.
In other news there is not a huge amount going on. I have had quite a lazy day today watching DVDs for the afternoon and evening. I had several which I'd bought ages ago but not got round to watching. It's been quite enjoyable. Next weekend promises to be a more exciting as I'm off to a concert with T.
And last but not least thank you to those readers who have emailed me, it's good to learn a little more about you :)

Hey,
Just thought you dshould know there was a really interesting article about women and fertility choices etc. in the T2 section of the Times - I think on Thursday. It was in reference to a new book about someone who got to about 39 and was in a similar boat. You might be able to find the article online, or at least a link to the book. I kept that bit of the paper so I could email it to you, but the person I live with threw it out, not realising I was holding onto it for a reason!
Thanks for that. I've just found it online and am about to read it-looks interesting.
It's great communication is open with Scarf Guy and hopefully Barbados Man will return answers to your questions soon. I'm excited to see where these matches will go for you now! Ultimately, I hope you get to meet one of them in real life and maybe even strike something up between you two. Well, am looking forward to what will happen next!
things look like they are progressing with scarf guy. i really hope you guys set up a face to face meeting soon. there's nothing like a face to face meeting to tell if there's any real chemistry.
it too drives me crazy when people can't seem to write their profile properly. i'm quite particular bout sentence construction and grammar. i guess the lack of appropriate punctuation would annoy me too haha!
Any updates??
Hi AV - not too much to report, about to do quick post.
Just wanted to tell you how happy I am to find someone else who gets put off by bad spelling and poor punctuation. I mean, if you're careless and sloppy with your spelling, then what else are you careless and sloppy with in life? (Or at least that's the impression that that leaves me.)
...Stepping off soapbox now...
Feel free to stay on the soapbox Laner - I'm never off mine when it comes to spelling and punctuation errors!
