you mean is there a trend between people who've been cheated on and... being single in your 30's? or what?

Yes. People who've been in serious relationships, getting stomped on like that, it takes a while to get back in the game, back to a level of being able to trust someone.

I'm just wondering is there a trend of that or just that i've been attracted to the unlucky ones.......and i don't include my mate in the being attracted bit!!

hmm. my first boyfriend was cheating on me towards the end, but didn't figure it out till after, but in my head i don't count myself as having been cheated on

having said that, i think there's a lot that can happen outside of cheating that could make someone not trust people.

hmmmm i wonder would this cheescake and choc chip cookies Ive made make up for my shortcomings, maybe I should put my baking skills on my profile, wonder would it make a difference

:D

Of course, the whole getting back with ex thing blew up in my face catastrophically so I thought to myself I'd hop right back in. Not working out so simple. Think I need a bit of 'being single' time TBH.
Feel a bit bad as I had been getting along with some fairly nice people from online, but callously cast them aside once herself showed up on my radar.

Sorry to hear about that Galvasean. Don't bother with online dating until you're 100% ready.

I must admit it gave me some serious thrust issues

Haha, that should read 'trust', not 'thrust'. Epic Freudian slip :pac:

I really do think cheating in its various forms is very commonplace. I recall one of the larger forums on boards.ie (can't remember if it was TLL or AH) ran a poll asking if you have ever or would ever cheat on a partner. IIRC over 40% admitted they have cheated in the past and/or would do it at some point.

yeah that was in AH. remember being astonished at the figures too. though moreso at the amount that said they would.

Yeah ditto. I mean there were a lot of people who said things along the lines of "I did once when I was younger, felt awful about it and would never do it again" which I guess is fair enough. But the amount that said they would given the opportunity truly made me despair for humanity.

Snoopy - will you go out with me?

Awww bless you for asking

How very odd - some messages don't seem to be sending to certain people. It's happened twice, where I would type out a message on POF, click send and when I go to my "sent" folder, it's not there. They have no filters that I can see and I'm not blocked.

Well, I figured out why one of them wouldn't send - I was telling them about a movie called Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull story, and it must have activated some sort of filter.

Dont worry it got to me safely

Galvasean · 12-06-2011 4:42pm

Yep, 'cock' is a filtered word. I've seen it censored on people's profiles.

Ha, it would be funny if it was you. Everyone else seems to have inadvertently emailed other boardsies.

Whoops, I only thought about that afterwards - it is a great movie though.

Yep. Done that. Only found out after the fact though.

Has anyone mail me inadvertently (im feeling v left out)

Nope. A mail got blocked or something. Came up with the message being sent successfully, but wasn't in sent items. I was talking about athletic clubs, but don't recall using a swear word. Not exactly first mail etiquette in fairness!!
