I carefully loaded a photo of myself and spouted all that I could think relevant about myself! Only then to discover that I was bombarded with emails from supposed "Gentlemen" and was kindly added repeatedly to their "hotlists". However, I was completely unable to read the emails or contact anyone back, until I had coughed up a rather pricy fee in order to see what was being written to me. I felt frustrated and gave up! I was NOT going to pay for the service!.......or so I thought! After 2 days and an ever expanding inbox, curiosity got the better of me. I deemed it necessary to "part with the cash" and dutifully paid up for a 3 months membership as it was the best deal at the time!
Well do you remember as a child paying for a lucky dip, only to end up feeling disappointed and let down with what you had picked out? Well I had the same feeling here! Comments like "Hello Sexy" and "you wantta meet" were what I had just parted with all the cash for! They reminded me of the joke about the mating call of the clam... do you know that one?!
A few emails seemed okay initially, but after a few messages trying to get to know people, I quickly realised they were NOT interested in anything but the obvious ( I was so naive)! They did not care about my brains, my life or in fact, me!
So disappointed I had all but given up with the site! Realising that the money spent on it could have been used for much better things such as chocolate, wine, a night with the girls or a shopping trip ( I fantasise here, as any single Mum will tell you; money is scarce, and yet bills aren't!) However, I have always been curious by nature, and since I have paid for my membership, I do still keep checking my inbox on the site, just in the vague hope that out there somewhere is one good man, with good intentions, a heart of gold and ..........sorry, i'm dreaming again!

Anyway, feeling despondent after this experience, I decided to try www.eharmony.co.uk. Blimey; had no idea it would take me 45 minutes to sign up! Yes, great, a free trial, but what a trial the application form is! Anyway, having told them everything from my music choice, what i wanted for dinner and when I last did the washing, I was pretty gutted to submit my application, only to be told that they would not have accepted my application after one of the first questions!!! It asked whether I was single, divorced, separated etc. I clicked on the separated,and apparently, because I clicked that they would not accept the application! Well, cheers EHarmony! Its not that I have a problem so much with the inability to join if the divorce has not gone through yet, its the fact that you have the audacity to waste my precious time whilst I think about my tastes, whether I am sensitive, whether I care about religion and carefully write my resume etc!
So my experiences to "date" (no pun intended) are not so good on dating sites! Sugar Daddie is great if you like swimming with sharks and e Harmony just a time wasting non starter if you are not actually totally divorced!
That all said however, Yesterday, from Sugar Daddie I did have a very sweet thoughtful message from a very nice sounding guy! He stood out from all the other sordid and sleazy messages. Hmmm, lets just wait and see, I haven't seen if he is on a white horse yet! I shall keep you posted!
