W

I guess some people may be wondering why I let W get away with the things she does, ie: the loud sex with her boyfriend, hanging her bra and undies in the bathroom for days, being generally untidy etc. I guess it would have something to do with the little notes and text messages she occasionally sends me when she wants to let me know something. Her English is not great (she’s from Hong Kong) so she often writes in Chinglish, which is so cute and very amusing. Having said this I must stress that I am not making fun of her as I have spent 18 months trying to learn Mandarin and still only just barely know the basics.

Ms M

I just sent an email to Ms M explaining that I like someone else and asking if we can be friends. As I guess she’s already moved on I don’t think she’d be shocked by this and I do think she’ll be receptive about my offer for friendship. She wasn’t looking for a potential partner anyway, just someone with whom she could have regular sex. (I would have loved to have been that person but I guess it’s not to be!) She is an awesome person though, very sexy and attractive and someone who is just very kind and friendly. I hope she finds what she’s looking for.

Awkward Again

I spent about an hour this evening having a great old chat to VJ on Facebook. Again we were both doing a lot of flirting with our chatting, and everything seems to be working out fine. At around 10:25pm she said goodbye.
At 10:26 MS logged into Facebook just a few seconds after VJ logged off. Coincidence? Perhaps! Surely these two members of Melbourne's Filipino community cannot possibly know each other?

Ms M - It's Over???

I guess everything is over between Ms M and I. She finally lost interest I guess. Not that I'm really all that worried as I have already moved on to something, much better, although I shouldn't count my chickens before they hatch.

Even more about W

I'm not quite convinced that W is quite an exhibitionist. This morning at 8am I could hear her in her room noisily masturbating. I guess she was perhaps hoping that by letting me hear this I would end up doing the same. Unfortunately for her it was at that time that I got up to have breakfast. She was very quiet after this.

More about W

I have had time to think about W and her escapades and must say that I am really curious now about a few things. Ever since I have told her that I have broken up with ‘P’ she has been more flirtatious with me, but only on her terms. I sort of think that she wants me to be interested in her and to be able to manipulate my emotions, even though she has a boyfriend and I don't think is in any way interested in me. I’m not sure why she would do this though. Perhaps she’s interested in a threesome?!Anyway it is very confusing for me.

The thing is though that no matter how cute she is, and she's very cute, I’m not attracted to her. Yes, I do find Asian girls extremely attractive, but weirdly I’m not attracted to her. Maybe it’s because she spends so much time trying to convince everyone that she’s a teenager and not in fact 35. She does look much younger than her age when she has her make-up on, but I have seen her sans-make-up and her wrinkles prove her real age. Also she is tiny and I would be too worried if we became intimate that I would crush her to death. Having said that however, it must be noted that her boyfriend is four inches bigger than me (height wise only!!!). Quite honestly she reminds me somewhat of Puss In Boots from Shrek, with her big, sad eyes. Perhaps if she acted her age I'd be more interested?!

Actually I guess the height difference between them explains why her boyfriend spends so much time talking rather than kissing her lips or sucking her nipples. It must be very awkward for them to do these two very pleasurable things whilst making love to each other. It would be impossible for them to do 69 too, unless he’s a contortionist.

W

This post is about my flatmate W, and her recent escapades. Last night she and her boyfriend had noisy sex. It was actually quite weird as whilst she was moaning and groaning her boyfriend wouldn't stop talking. I know all the times I've slept with someone my mouth has been too busy sucking, licking and kissing to be bothered with talking. Then again her boyfriend is in his early 20s and is obviously just a kid. I find it weird that a 35 year old woman would choose youthful enthusiasm over an older guy who's more experienced and knows what to do.
I'm quite convinced that she knows that she's shitting me with the loudness of her sex and that she's getting off on the fact that I'm in the next room and can hear everything that is going on. This afternoon when I came home all was quiet for about ten minutes until they started up again. They had ten hours of me not being there that they could have spent fucking but she waited for me to get home. I didn't really care as I was busy messaging VJ and trying to reassure her that things would be alright. After they had finished and I was still busy messaging VJ, W got herself dressed and then popped into my room (she never comes into my room) to say hello and ask me about my day. It's obvious that she knows that I can hear everything that's going on and she enjoys being such an exhibitionist.

MS

Just added MS to my Facebook friends. She has already invited me to look at the cakes that she bakes. I guess she follows the old adage that the best way to a man's heart is through his stomach! Unless cakes are a euphemism for something else that I would very much like to take a look at!!! lol

:(

Poor VJ. I spoke to her today on Facebook and it seems that she is being harassed by our boss. This really hurts me because VJ is just such a lovely, caring, kind-hearted person, and our boss is just an outright bully. I know what she is going through as years ago this boss also gave me a hard time, but for some reason now she thinks I am God or something.
I have told VJ that whenever she needs to chat about things I'll be there for her. Even if I did not have such strong feelings for her I would be there for her, as the way she is being treated is so unfair, it breaks my heart. She doesn't deserve such treatment.

Fling Finder Chatrooms

One of the things that Fling Finder touts as one of their selling points is that members can chat to others in their webcam chatrooms. I tried these for a little while but have given up on them.

The thing is that these places are pretty cliquey and it’s hard for a newbie to actually hard to get to know people, especially if you’re a guy. (Girls of course just have to appear and dozens of people are messaging them!)

In the adult chatroom there are a few women in their 30s and 40s who are quite the exhibitionists. They like to strip off for the webcams and flash their bodies. One of the women, who is in her 40s is quite scrawny and not really my cuppa tea, although there is another Eurasian woman in her 40s who is quite hot. (Only seen her once though!)

I guess the FF chatrooms can be fun if your are patient enough to  be accepted within the group over a period of a few days. You also have to accept that there are usually three guys for every one girl in the chatrooms and they are usually whispering to others and ignoring any newbie. 

Awkward

I have just had a very awkward situation occur a couple of hours ago. I have been regularly emailing MS and we have been getting to know each other pretty well. Today she asked if she could become one of my Facebook friends. I don't mind as this will enable us to chat more regularly and get to know each other outside the confines of match.com.au.
The only problem is that VJ is also a Facebook friend and will ask me a thousand questions when she sees another Filipina who is the same age as her add me as a friend. Things have been really progressing well with VJ and we both seem to have formed a very strong bond. Even if we don't end up as a couple we are still the best of friends, although I do think that we are destined for more than that.
I wonder what VJ's reaction will be. As I said, she will ask a thousand questions, but I wonder whether they will be the curious type or the jealous type. Naturally I have pushed her a little bit by IM'ing her about something MS said about a Filipino delicacy which she is an expert at cooking. I haven't had a response yet, but guess I will within the next 24 hours. I hope I'm not disappointed!!!
I know that this sounds as though I am using MS as a pawn in a game, but I do think she is a nice girl. Perhaps she's too nice for me? From what we have talked about she is not very experienced with men and most likely still a virgin at 31. I think this is perhaps to do with her strong Catholic beliefs and family bonds (she still lives at home) as she is really cute. I would not want to hurt her at all and I do like her a lot. It's just that my feelings for VJ run very deep.
As I said, VJ and I share a very special bond, something that I have only had with one other person (not P). Of course that person, FT, just wanted to be friends (sigh!). We spend a lot of time flirting at work and have given each other little hints as to our true feelings for each other. It will be interesting to see where things go from here.

VJ

Yesterday I saw VJ for the first time since Monday when we were IM'ing each other. She looked as gorgeous as ever and I can now officially say that she has stolen my heart. I think yesterday we spent more time chatting than working. LOL. We had a meeting to which she said that she was going to be late, although she turned up on time and looked extremely happy throughout, even though she hates meetings (don't we all???). I'm starting to convince myself that our feelings for each other are the same, but even so I will take things very slowly. I will see her again tonight and see what will happen.

My Flatmate

Sometimes I don't know what to make of my flatmate "W'. Some days she is the sweetest person in the world, very kind and caring. She has been staying with me since March and is a student from Hong Kong, studying English. She is a tiny thing, and quite cute, although not my type. She looks young and could pass for an 18 years old, despite the fact that she's 35. (Her boyfriend looks as though he;s in his mid-20s, so I suppose we could say she's a cougar!) Her English is not very good and a lot of the time I say very basic things to her and she will give me a WTF face, meaning that I have to repeat myself and simplify my message. She does try very hard though and has picked up a little bit of 'strine'. The other day when she saw me, she greeted me with a 'G'day mate.' which I found much amusing.
To look at her you would think that she is a delicate little flower, very dainty and lady-like, yet she seems to be a big tom-boy. Let's face it, she's already a bigger slob than I am, which is saying something. For example today she left her bra and undies hanging up in the shower, whilst the other day I came home and saw that she had left  mess in the toilet for me to clean up. Another example happened a few weeks ago when she had a weeks break from school. She spent that week in her pjs (they are old lady pjs too) on the couch, watching TV and drinking beer. She farts and burps as well as any bloke too. I do find it all to be very hilarious too.

What A Difference A Day Makes

It's amazing how things and life can change really quickly. A few hours ago I was really depressed, while now I feel 1000% better. And of course it is all to do with a (few) girl(s). My depression began at 11am when I came home and received a note from my flatmate 'W' informing me that she has a new boyfriend and that he will be staying in her room. Obviously I jumped to the conclusion that they would be having sex, as if a girl invited me into her room I wouldn't be watching TV or playing tiddly winks.
Then my ex 'P' rang me four times, harassing me and basically going on about how horrible I am. You'd think after 15 years I'd be used to this but it still hurts.

Things turned around a bit in the afternoon. I spoke to my sister who has recently gone through a divorce. She basically advised me to talk about all the problems which I have been having. I chatted to her about things and then to my Mum and Dad and I felt a lot better.

I then received encouraging emails from both Ms M and from MS in which they both had a long chat about stuff, which made me a lot happier.

But what has made me the happiest of all is the IM'ing that I have been doing with VJ where we mainly talked about work but there was a lot of other stuff we talked about too. There was also a lot of flirting from both sides and it seems that she may just be as much into me as I am into her. :) This has made me very happy.

At the moment 'W' and her boyfriend are having very noisy sex, but I really couldn't give a shit.

FML

You know it's not that easy for me at the moment coping with everything that has been going on at the moment. A 16 year relationship has come to an end, I'm trying with varying degrees of success to start dating again, there's someone at work who I have realised that I really, really like but her feelings are obviously not the same as mine, there are some big changes occurring at work, and my flatmate has just declared that she now has a boyfriend and that she would like him to sleep over occasionally. This is what I am going to talk about in this post.

Now before people start thinking that the reason why I am upset about my flatmate having a boyfriend is because I'm jealous, it's not true. Sure she's cute and funny and smart, but she's not my type. Perhaps I'm a little jealous that she's found someone and I haven't but that's it. (How can someone else be happy when I am sp fucking miserable?) What is really bugging me is that she wants him to sleep over. The problem with this flat is that the bedroom walls are paper thin and I can hear everything she does at night. I can tell you that she talks in her sleep (heck, she even sings in her sleep), as well as farting and burping. I'd hate to come home from a hard night at work only to find that instead of being able to go straight to bed, I instead have to listen to her and her boyfriend fucking all night. It's bad enough listening to the noises she makes when she masturbates in the middle of the night!!!

MS

I want to talk about another girl who I have been talking to this week from match.com.au. Let's call her MS. She is in her early 30s and living in the northern suburbs and like VJ she is a Filipina, although unlike VJ who is a recent arrival to Australia, MS has been here since she was seven years old.

MS seems to be quite inexperienced when it comes to the opposite sex, I don't know if she has had a long term relationship before. She seems a little naive and like all the girls I have ever met from the Philipines she is very religious and very moral. I don't really have a problem with this as I am not just looking for someone to have sex with, I want someone who I can grow old with. Also we are both the same religion, although I am not as strict a Catholic as I should be, as VJ is always reminding me that I should spend more time at church.
MS seems to be very intelligent as well, as she is in a very intensive and technical job. It would be goo to have someone with who I can have deeply intelligent conversations with rather than just talking about the weather and sports.

One thing I fear though is that MS may end up being a substitute for VJ. As I have said, I seem to have really fallen hard for VJ and my feelings have become a lot deeper since I have been on holiday from work. While I was away I had time to think about the things I wanted from my life and reassess the direction that my life is taking. The type of qualities that I am looking for in a partner are those that VJ possesses, such as her gentleness, kindness, sense of humour and just the way she is so caring. I'd hate to think that if VJ doesn't feel the same way about me as I do for her, which is what I fear, I may end up using MS as a substitute. (Hope this makes sense?)

I guess what this post shows more than anything is just how confused my feelings are at the moment and how I am unsure about anything and everything right now. Hopefully by the end of next week things will be a bit clearer.

Ms M - Part 2

The other day I posted about Miss M and how I thought that perhaps things weren't going as much to play as I thought. Turns out I was wrong as she has requested another date with me for next week. The fact that I am going to be quite busy with work next week means that it will probably be unlikely that our date will be until the weekend when I am free.
While I am excited about this and am looking forward to it, I am not so sure if Miss M is really for me. On our first date things didn't really click and while I think she is very attractive, for the last two weeks whilst I have been on holidays from work, all I could think of is VJ. Maybe things will be clearer tomorrow at work when I see VJ for the first time in a long time.

VJ

I am going to have a short diversion from the whole 'online dating' thing to discuss the 'real' offline world. Basically I want to talk about someone who I work with who I feel very attracted to but who I fear either doesn't feel the same way about me or is completely oblivious to the way I feel.

Just to describe her somewhat, she is originally from the Philippines (Yeah, I know what you're going to say. I do like Asian women but don't all guys!!!) and is probably just average in looks although she is cute. But more importantly she is someone who is great to talk to, has a brilliantly devilish sense of humour and is a very caring person. In other words she is very, very nice. Oh yeah, she has a perfect body too.

As I said, I don't think she knows I am interested in her and I'm not so sure she's interested in me. I am not going to push things too far as we are very good friends and I really cherish our friendship a lot and would not want to do anything to jeopardise it. We also have to work together and I wouldn't want to do anything that would make that uncomfortable either.

Anyone want to give me some advice on how I should play this???

Hints & Tips & Comments

If anyone decides to follow this blog, please feel free to leave comments. If you have any hints or dating tips also feel free to let me know, as I could use all the help that I can get. It would also be interesting to hear from any women out there who are trying to do the online dating thing. Guys always like to hear a woman's perspective on things and I find that they usually won't tell you face to face.

match.com.au

I have been a member of match.com.au since Monday, and already have had more contact with women than in the entire five weeks that I have spent at Fling Finder. Another difference is that on match.com.au I am actually having women emailing me, rather than me having to do all the work myself.

Another difference that I have noted is that when you email someone and they are not interested, they are more likely on match.com.au to tell you that they are not interested rather than just ignoring you. This makes a very big difference to the experience in my opinion.

Currently I have had conversations with a few women. I have spoken to an African woman in her 30s, and Indian woman in her 40s, a couple of Filipinas (one in her late 20s and another in her early 30s), one Chinese woman in her mid-30s, and several Caucasian women whose ages range from mid-20s to late 30s. About half of these women I have sent emails to first, while half of them have been the ones to have made the first approach.

Ms M

This post is about the one and only date that I have had in my month at Fling Finder. It was with Ms M, an Asian woman from Melbourne's outer West who is in her late 20s. I had been chatting to her online for about two and a half weeks before we finally met. I thought that we had some sort of connection but looking back I am not so sure. Again I don't want to go into too many details about anyone. I don't want anyone to be able to be identified through what I say. I will try to be as discrete as I possibly can be.

I met Ms M for dinner and a drink at a local restaurant. She was a largish lady but still very attractive. She has a very pretty face. I think that she may be a bit self-conscious about her weight, because she asked me a few times if she was what I expected. I guess she thinks that I am one of those people who assume all Asian women are tiny 'chilli-padis'. I've known enough Asian women to know that they come in all shapes and sizes.

I think the date went OK, although I was very self conscious and trying a bit too hard to create a good impression. I am a very shy person by nature and became quite tongue-tied during the date. She by contrast is a very talkative person and kept yapping away about her very important job and how she has so much responsibility.

One thing that did put me a little off-side is that one of the first things she mentioned was about all the bad date experiences that she had and how she didn't have sex, kiss or hold hands on a first date (All the fun things!!!). I wasn't expecting sex or anything anyway, as all I wanted to do was to meet someone new whom I could chat with and see what developed further down the track. She then told me about guys she'd met through the site who had stalked her and who hadn't been able to take the hint that she wasn't interested. Naturally when she mentioned this I assumed that this was her hint to me that she wasn't interested.

I guess I was wrong about that, as the next day I emailed to apologise for the fact that I wasn't the best of company the previous night. She then said that she had in fact enjoyed the night and would like to go out again sometime. We have since been emailing each other quite regularly but have not yet had a second date. I am still not so sure as to whether she's not stringing me along. It's been four days since she last emailed me and the last few emails seem to have been fobbing me off so to speak. Maybe she has just been busy with her high powered job and I am being a bit too self conscious. I will email her again to see if she's still interested but honestly I'm really not too sure.

Weird Experience

The last couple of days I have been having a weird experience with someone on match.com.

It started last night when I received an email from a 33 year old woman in Malaysia. She said that she had been checking out my profile, and then proceeded to ask me several questions.I checked out her profile and it seems that she is interracial, half Malay and half Spanish. On the profile she tried to use a lot of strine so as to suggest that she's up to date with Aussie culture, but the whole thing seemed to be aimed at her landing an Aussie husband so as she could migrate here.

I politely answered all of the questions and mentioned that my ex-partner is also Malaysian, from the state next door to where this women was living. I was polite and courteous and I let her know that I was not really interested in a long distance relationship at this time.

I then received another email from her telling me that she thought that I was lying about my age and that I did not look 38. (Why would I lie about that?) She then said that she thought that the ages of the women that I was searching for was ridiculous and that she no longer wanted to be in contact with me. (Again, WTF. The women I am searching for are between late 20s to early 40s. It is not unreasonable for a 38 year old to be interested in women in this age range!)

I could not resist sending another email to her asking what age did she think I was and what age should the women that I am searching for be. I also again told her that I am not interested in a long distance relationship. I was as polite as I could possibly be, even though I was fuming.

Thirty minutes later I receive another email from this woman. She said that she thought I was a confused person and why would I be emailing her and telling her that I would like to date someone from Kuala Lumpur if I did not want a long distance relationship. She said that she felt very sorry for me. Again, WTF???

I then sent a final email telling her that I was not interested, that she was wasting her time and mine, and that she was not to contact me again. I then blocked her from sending emails to me.

This was a very weird experience, and I gather that I will be having more of these in the months to come. I have been told to be very wary of some women by someone from match.com that I have been chatting to. She said that there are people out there, both women and men, who are just trying to scam money out of others. She had already had someone who had tried to extort money from her and she has warned me to be wary of this. I am very thankful for this advice.

Fling Finder

This post is going to be about some of my adventures with Fling Finder and just my overall impression of the site. I won't go into detail here about the one date that I have had through Fling Finder, as I will save that for a further post.

Fling Finder advertises itself as an online dating service for those who just want to have fun. A lot of the women there say that they want just sex, which I suppose is OK, although there are many that are also looking for a more serious relationship. A lot of the profiles on Fling Finder seem to be of women who are no longer members but have not had their profiles removed from the site.

I put my profile on Fling Finder just to get a feel of the site, not really sure whether I should actually pay money to join. I was winked at, and had emails sent to me by an 18 year old woman who looked OK. I was curious as to what she had emailed me, so I decided to pay to join for three months.

I spent two weeks emailing this girl and for a while she seemed to be really into me. She asked me if I thought she was too young (no), and I asked if she thought I was too old (no). Then for no reason she stopped writing to me without explanation. This left me really confused but I have since found out this is the way that they do things on Fling Finder. If after a while (even 6 weeks) of emailing they have found someone else, the women their will abruptly stop the emails without even giving a reason. Honestly it would be nice if they just said "Hey, I've found someone else. It was nice to have known you." instead of leaving you hanging.

When I first joined Fling Finder I searched through the profiles and sent emails to those women who I was interested in. I received two replies. One woman who I sent a very polite message to (I'm always polite) decided to block me from looking at her profile, while most others did not even reply. Again I ask, if you are not interested why not just send a little note to say so. It's not that hard.

For the last six weeks there have been two women that I have been emailing, but it seems that this week both have gotten bored of me for whatever reason, and the emails have stopped. With one of these women I don't mind so much that she has ceased emailing me, as I was only interested in her platonically, as a friend, as we had a few things in common. However the other woman, "M", I found myself deeply attracted to. I thought we had some sort of connection but I guess I was wrong. (I will talk about her and the single date that we went on in a future post)

My personal view of the women on Fling Finder is that a lot of them (but not all) are quite shallow and narcissistic. I guess as their are so few women who are on the site, despite Fling Finders absurd claim that there is a 50/50 male to female ratio, that they can afford to be picky. I have found myself a bit taken aback by this site and I feel that it has actually damaged my self-esteem almost as much as my recent relationship break-up. Even though I have paid for three months access to the Fling Finder website, and I am still less than half-way through that, I rarely go to the site. As it is I have little desire to actually go there and am wondering whether I should end my subscription early.

It seems to be overwhelming a site for those in the 20s and early 30s whilst those interested in Asian, Indian or African women, I'm sorry to tell you but there aren't many there and most of them are in their 20s and only after guys in their 20s.

Adventures In Online Dating

After ending a 15+ year relationship a few months ago, in June I decided to take the plunge into online dating. So far I have a few interesting observations to make but after four weeks I have not had any exciting adventures. Hopefully this will soon change!!!
So far I have joined up to two Australian internet dating sites and I will give my honest opinion on both in the next few weeks. The first one is Fling Finder which I find to be not that good. Most of the women who are on that site seem to be very shallow and to be honest there are not many woman on the site anyway. They claim to have a 50/50 ratio of men to women but this is pure BS. I have met one person on the site and thought that she was OK, although like most of the people on the site she seems to like to play games and play the field even though she insists that I don't do the same. I joined the site five weeks ago and have another seven weeks until my subscription runs out, but I can honestly say that I have wasted my money. I will speak about this in further posts.

This week I joined match.com and have already spoken to more people than I did in the first month with Fling Finder. Unlike Fling Finder, where with one exception, everyone I spoke to I had to approach first, I have already had some women send me emails and 'wink' at me. From my limited experience with match.com the women on this site seem a lot friendlier and easier to talk to. They don't seem to be so judgemental, although I have had one weird experience already, which I will go into deeper later. The best thing about match.com is that there are so many people on the site, with new people joining everyday.

I will be updating this site in the next couple of days. I have a few interesting things that I want to say about my experiences so far. I will be as honest as possible BUT I won't mention any names. All the names will be changed to protect their identity and my own.
