Hi, if i may put my opinion in here.
Some men are very simple creatures and creatures of habit, if he has your friendship, and your love and you are both intimate as well then to him that is a full package so maybe he doesnt want to rock the boat. I would like to think that you didnt just cut off the relationship cold without first discussing the issue and most importantly giving him some time to think so he can give a thoughtful responce. You may have had this in your mind for weeks but when you open the subject he may be unprepaired to give a thoughtful reply.
Obviously if you do not see the relationship the same way then the next step would be to state your intensions, ie to seperate, this could also be a time for him to reflect that maybe this IS what he wants.
These are just my opinions and everyone deals with issues in different ways but i hope i may have offered a view that you may not have seen.
clearly he is a man you want to be with so he must be a good person.
Talk to him.

Hay larsson. It could have been me as I was born in the eastend.
How weird would that be?
And thanks for your well wishes.
Hope you also find what your looking for.

me being rude? of course not, its you who has a filthy mind lol

I won't get involved in the above debate, could get messy. LoL
But in reply to your question, is it as simple as the guys who read your profile can't read?
Or at best haven't read your profile correctly?

Spot on lionsbrew..
Well said. A proud father.
Respect to you.

I agree as well. I sometimes see womens pictures with children. Even though it states if you have children on your profile.
I have twins and I wouldn't put their picture on my profile at all.
It states I have kids and if anyone wants to ask I am happy to tell them.
Why do guys do it? Maybe because they know that some women love to see men with kids if they have their own.

Would be nice to meet up with someone close as most of the conversations I have are from people abroad.
Check my profile and if you are happy to reply either here or message please do.
I have not long been on the dating scene so a bit wide eyed as to what to do but I dont feel comfortable selling myself to a internet site.

Now how can I tempt you to want to get more than your toe wet in the social pool.
Get undressed and jump in the waters warm!!!


(Side note: it could be freezing depends what end you jump in)

Someone (crystalfairy) presumed I was from Greece when in fact I am from London UK.
Where did you get your nickname from and if not obvious what does it mean.
Also if this was not your first choice what would it have been and why?
Does your nickname indicate what you want?

Anyone want to get together?
Im meeting up with my cousin from Australia there.
It was just a thought, im not expecting much in replies.

I had a thought
I might change my nickname to
"I want your mind body& soul daily but your body more"
Maybe that will get me some replies?

Thats a bit presumptuous, even though my profile states I live in London and I have never made any attempt to indicate that I want to move to another country.

I could presume you like crystal meph and it makes you high as a fairy.

And I am sure that's not the case. Is it? no of course not.
My nickname is just that. Not an indication to where I am from or what I want.

Precisely.
Elementary my dear list in reverie.

Unbelievable!
But I suppose it is easy to find out what people want then pretend to be that.
But why bother unless for financial gain or citizenship through marriage to your country if they live far away sometimes in a third world country.

Its also interesting to hear what kind of replies some of you are receiving.
It absolutely amazes me how the people that send them actually think they might get a reply?
From the pervy ones to the offers of marriage in badly spelt English.
As for the numbers and percentage of email people get...
It must be a mine field for a woman who gets lots hundreds of messages a week or day if you have posted your boobs in a bra or bikini ha ha..
I do try to not be creepy or offensive or downbeat.
I try to relate to something we have in common from what they have said on their profile and I have noticed a lot of profiles that just say "hi" and nothing more. Also I am noticing the reference to God a lot of times. Like I am a God fearing woman. This comes up a lot and apart from the obvious I dont know if there is any other reason behind it.

Its called understanding and learning, im not worried at all. As I have said before I am new to this and have no idea about the etiquette and expectations of a personal message no getting a reply.

People. ..... please dont take my simple and maybe commonly asked questions as a hang up. Im taking the time to understand. Surely to play the game you must understand the rules right? (Im not by any means saying I am playing a game it is a phrase)

With both your comments I can start to understand the dynamics.
So making it easier for me to understand.
Ive not been on dating sites before and its all new to me.
May I ask a question about your people in the street cenario, if someone starts a conversation with you on the street would you reply or ignor them if they were unattractive?
I love to talk to strangers like I have known them for ages and the smiles I get back are very rewarding. I love it, same as a smile, when you smile at someone its very hard for them not to smile back. Try it yourself on a bus or train its warming to get a smile from a stranger.

I though it was "no news is good news"

Good point and its a bit black and white but true.
I was just trying to see how many experience this too.

And thank you for seeing that I want someone worthy and im only trying find them.

I do just that. I ask questions about what their interests are or comment on something they have said and nothing?
I even invite them to have a read of my profile and if they like what they see to message back and I get no messages saying so and so have viewed you?
