...they really are.
I was chatting to a bloke over in Belfast who seemed totally normal.
We texted a few times a day and spoke every few days - at least once a week.
Then we were due to meet.
Suddenly the texts stopped.
The phone calls stopped.
The emails stopped.
I texted, called and emailed leaving messages to make sure he was okay - he works as a sergeant on a base in Belfast - who knows what might have happened.
It transpires he was just being a bloke! Blokes are dead keen and full on until the know 'the meet' is about to happen. Why? What's the worst that can happen - you hate each other and don't get on? You love each other and want to adopt a child together and marry in Vegas? Or, somewhere in between which means you take it easy and see how it goes...
I'm not quite sure why this causes men to sweat and break into hives. A bloke on a dating site requesting his 'perfect girl' is quite up for meeting that 'special someone'. I, on the other hand, am in this dating malarky for the banter - if a decent bloke rears his head in the meantime then cool beans but it ain't gonna kill me if no such bloke materialises.
That, apparently is my problem.
I don't NEED a man. I'd LIKE a man.
Why would a man want to be with me if I don't NEED him...?
Not my words, the words of a Plenty of Fish genius!
I don't NEED a man. A man would be lovely in my life but I certainly ain't gonna cry about not having one.
I can wire a plug, I can fix my telly, I can reboot my internet, I can put up shelves, I can protect myself from bullies and can win many fights. I can fold a fitted sheet, I can clean my own windows, I can find porn on my computer and I can drink beer.
What I can't do is successfully grout tiles and catch spiders.
Perhaps I should just put out a job advert instead of a dating profile...
Seriously men, we are not mental people - tell us what you think instead of making us guess!
It shouldn't be like The Krypton Factor trying to work out what a bloke wants!
Sheesh!

Hi Helen, this is true, am pretty similar to you, I don't want one or need one, but if one turned up it'd be cool.
Some women put up with idiots for the simple fact they cannot be alone, and i'm glad thats not me, or you :)x
Blokes are mental- This post has rung such a massive bell with me and it’s only very recently it has dawned on me that I don’t need men.
I know exactly what you mean!
Well, parts of it ...
My Prince Charming-man is quite lovely and open with me but in the past there was one who had the same issue.
All about the chase until I actually said yes and then *poof* was nowhere to be found. Weird.
Hot and cold much? Yes... and they say women have mood swings!

Leigh, I had a husband that went *poof* one day and disappeared. In hindsight, I think *poof* turned out to be quite apt! :-)
