Kay and Cat reunited

Ok, so everything is ok, turns out it was a huge misunderstanding, now everything is better, no one is angry and were friends again good.
however, cat is now seeing a man!!! which means dear readers out there somewhere (...) she should in theory be removed from the experiment, however this will not happen, as she's leaving us soon to go to Australia. This means there will be a new level to this. IS IT EASIER TO MEET AUSSIE MAN OR BRITISH MEN. I cover british men (duh) and she does the other. ..
right revision calls

ciao peeps

Yes please!

Dating site is definitely looking up!
Got a message from a lawyer.
a HOT! lawyer. seriously! he had two photo,s up on of which was him alone, the other him and this other girl, who is seriously attractive. it makes me kind of question why he is even on the site?! seriously, if he is friends with people like her! And what on earth is he doing messaging me. I mean yes, i'm not hideous , but still, even i know he's waaay out of my league! Plus, he is a lawyer! Isnt that basically like a pick-up line in its self? hmm lets see. more on that later

goodbye Cat ( apparently)

so, if you have been reading this people, cat and i had a bit of an argument. well not really an argument more of a thing where i let her down. basically we had agreed to go away together on holiday, but i had to cancel because of money issues. for some reason, Cat doesn't seem to believe that i'm telling the truth, does she think i didn't want to go with her or what? Anyway, today, much to my surprise, i logged on to facebook and found that she had terminated our relationship on facebook. ( we were married, on facebook. not in real life because that would be weird lol)
Ok so to some of you that might not seem like a big deal, but it really did hurt my feelings and then to just by coincidence all your info and photo's happen to be restricted? ok yes i let you down, and yes you have the right to be angry at me, but i have apologised and it wasnt my fault so if you want to be like that fine. i'm not going to apologise anymore, and i'm not going to try anymore. I made a mistake. sue me.

and that is the end of that.

Kay.
p.s- if you do read this Cat, i changed the password. two can play this game. ( for the record, i'm angry too!)

sad times

Our rabbit died today. My sister went to feed it this morning and it was dead. I don't think I've ever seen anyone so distraught. she came running to me in hysterics,
" the rabbit isn't moving. i think its dead, i don't know what to do"
i was so sure it was just asleep,but no. it's dead. and frozen. and she just stood there in front of the cage sobbing.
it was the saddest thing ever. now we have to tell my little brother and his friends who are our neighbours who also love that rabbit. they're only 6. and the ground is too frozen to bury it. gah! today will not be a good day!
r.i.p Hercules. you will be missed.

Kay

apparently you have to have ugly legs to play golf?

that's what i read when i signed in to one of the dating sites. I'm not sure if that was a personal dig at me of golf, to be honest i don't particularly care especially as i don't play golf.
Also for some reason, i seem to attracting older men. why? I'm not sure. and by older i don't mean late 20's i'm talking 40+. It is rather odd. i am also attracting people who " are new to the country and want to meet girls for good times". i was on the verge of giving up on this part of the experiment, but decided to continue on account of the fact that an almost normal guy sent me a message this morning.
young (i.e. 24)
good looking
degree and masters in 3D animation
so i'll give it a go i think. for now anyway.
Oh and i will be testing out another phase of the experiment next week on Tuesday. a friend of mine are going out. i haven't really done the meeting men in clubs and pubs thing in a while, so i may need a couple pointers. are there rules, what do you say? how on earth are you meant to hear each other over the music? if you have any ideas, please do tell.

later
Kay.

HA! just got a message from and apparent ex model! except he doesnt have a photo to back it up. Suspicious? i think so!

what an odd couple of days.

Kay here,
so after two days i have had i guess you could say success on the whole internet dating thing. although some of the messages are just plain wierd. and some hilarious. some quite nice.
here are some of the more normal ones

hey how are you? and how come you're ona dating site? you def dont look like you need any help finding a fella you're lovely!!!- G

Hello, your profile is interesting and I like it. Hope you dont mind I am older, just want to send a compliment. M ( by older he meant 27, which is fine. my last love interest was 28. yeah i have a thing for older men. he is one of my favourites at the moment. not so strange. )

Hey you ok?
Just came across your profile and I thought I'd drop you a message as you sound like a good person to chat too, as well as being a good looking young lady!
Hopefully we can chat more and maybe even get to know each other a bit
Hope to hear back from you soon

Then we have the ones from wierd older men
hi gwen hope you are well,heres a thought for you.....Imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning with £86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day.
Every evening the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course?
Each of us has such a bank. It's name is TIME.
Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds.
Every night it writes off as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to a good purpose.
It carries over no balance. It allows no over draft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day.
If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no drawing against "tomorrow."
You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success!
The clock is running!! Make the most of today...im a design engineer living in stockport cheshire, you fancy a chat tiger -
this guy is 38!!! thats 20 years older than me!

A really beautiful and obviously very intelligent girl!
Like to meet an older generous guy? -
This one is 50!! i mean seriously! thats older than my dad! come on! plus what on earth does he mean by generous! serious creep vibes from this one!

THEN! some of the profiles seriously!

this is an sample from this guys profile!
What would you do on an ideal date?
I like to keep things real from the first date, If I think you're fat I'll tell ya. Please excuse my hands, I apologise in advance, they have a one-track mind to squeeze on your behind.

As of right now, i think that internet dating sites are a definate let down ladies. or maybe i'm just trying the wrong ones. who know! had ANYONE out there had any luck on these sites? and if so, why did you join it?

On other news, i Think Cat may be mad at me. No i know she is. It really is all my fault though, so i understand completely. i did let her down. i seem to be doing this a lot recently. if you do read this Cat, i really am sorry.
Also, i got a new job, which means that i might be moving away. and pretty soon, especially as, well especially as things didnt turn out the way i wanted with other things. To be honest, I'm pretty bummed out about it, about a lot of things. but hey, i guess things have to go on.

right i'm off. do comment on things people. if anyone is actually reading this. is this a waste of time?
probably.

Being Set Up

Ok, Day One of this shin dig and I have already been set up and they don't even know I'm doing this!!!
Anyway, I must explain the situation first. I work with lots of people who feel the need to give me dates on a daily basis, this would be incredibly useful if I actually wanted to date any of the potential suitors. Shame.. eh!
So, today someone in passing asked me what I thought about another male colleague and I as always knew he wasn't remotely my type. so told them so. So the matter was avoided. Until The Other Male Colleague came to where I was working and started saying jokes which were really not very funny, until a customer arrived which he knew. This makes me really confused as to whether he came to see me or the customer that he knew. Either way this is the first time that I was set up by not being set up.
WEIRD?? Very.
So currently I have 2 people that other people want me to be interested in. Well... kind of 3. One who's mate is adamant to get his mate with me, secondly the incident above and thirdly being in a four-way friendship with 2 girls and 2 guys when one girl and guy who are already a couple felt the need to spread the love, kind of obvious that one.

Am I not trusted to find my own man? Do people feel sorry for me being single? And this is pushing it but Am I someone someone else wants their friend to be with?

Either way, I'm hoping this experiment will clear things for me.
Or just leave me with more questions.
To be totally honest I want to just ask some genius the questions in my head and hope they know... but since when have the easy options been the best?

Peace Out,
Cat

NO WAY!!!

Normal people use Internet dating sites! The weirdest thing just happened, i was browsing the one i joined yesterday and i see a profile of someone who lives pretty close to where i live so, naturally, i click on it intrigued, and as I'm reading his info, and it sounds vaguely familiar. I haven't seen the picture yet (at least not properly) so i click on it and ITS SOMEONE I KNOW! seriously bizarre! I mean bizarre. Plus he is, you know good looking (ish) and always seems to be around girls so the fact that he is on one of these sites is weird!

Now the dilemma is this. do I talk to him? Do I risk possible discomfort to both of us? I would like to say dear reader that I am not personally romantically interested, But I would like to know what drove him to use an Internet dating site and how he's finding it. What should I do?

dating sites?

Hey,
Kay here, I've been thinking about the whole Internet dating thing. Does it work, is it reliable, is it worth it, what's the best one? etc. Plus what type of people go on to it. It is kind of weird to be thinking of going on a dating site as a 19 year old, i mean I'm 19! But still, all in the name of..umm..science? Here goes nothing.

OK its done. i have created a Internet dating account. It takes 2 days to be approved, just to stop people posting weird pornographic photo's or giving out personal info. Plus i looked and the guys aren't too bad, there are actually some OK looking guys. so more info in 2 days to let you know how that goes.
Right i have an exam in a day so i guess i had better get revising.

see ya
Kay

P.S: Cat, i changed the layout. this one looks prettier
PPS: Oh and people tell us what you think about the whole Internet dating thing.

The experiment

Does anyone find that with the amount of opportunities that we have to find a partner/other half/ whatever you want to call it, there is still a large amount of people who are still single, people who by choice would rather be in a relationship, but can't quite meet that person, or more likely do not know where to meet that person. We find it particularly interesting that although society has changed (i.e- women can now work, vote, live with men) The Marriage Rate decreases each year, in fact, it used to be uncommon for a woman to be unmarried and those that weren't, were often seen as burdens on their families, yet it quite common for a woman to remain unmarried now. Our question is this, where are all the men? for all of you in relationships, We feel we have to congratulate you on finding one, but for all us single gals ( and we suppose guys) we are determined to find out how on earth you're meant to meet people.
so this is the task.
We have one year. In this year, we will have met as many NEW men as we can. To do this we will be investigating the easiest way to find one so our choices are
1- The easiest one (well apparently): clubs and pubs etc
2- Blind dates
3- Internet dating sites
4-While travelling, holiday romances.
5- Chance encounter

Have any more ideas. Do tell us.

thanks
Kay & Cat
