Perhaps it's worth asking for some profile help on a separate thread? But being on the forums is a great start!

I don't have an opening gambit, I to make something up on the fly...

But if and when I receive a message, it's usually "hi" "how you doing" type stuff.. which I really don't mind.

Except that many women are a wee bit arsey about blokes being creative with their first messages.

lol old phones had a limit to the number of characters a text could contain so "txt spk" was born to accommodate this issue but technology improved and so did the mobile networks to allow us to send text messages just the same as emails with no limit to the number of characters that could be used.

Basically when the mobile phone networks went from analog to digital. Original text messages (or SMS - short message service) were only 147 characters long. Any longer you got charged for 2 messages, even if it was 1 character.

It’s why Twitter has a tweet length of 147, so people could tweet via text messages.

Hence why Txt speak started.

"Wuu2?

Text speak is the one thing that drives me mad, we stopped needing to use it when they removed the character limit and enabled multi part text messages on the old GSM network

What it bugs the hell out of me lol

Over my head

Basically when the mobile phone networks went from analog to digital. Original text messages (or SMS - short message service) were only 147 characters long. Any longer you got charged for 2 messages, even if it was 1 character.

It’s why Twitter has a tweet length of 147, so people could tweet via text messages.

Hence why Txt speak started.

HRU

CUL8R…

Well you get the point.

Which nerd level is this?

not so much nerd as growing up at just the right time to have dealt with the issues of trying to message friends as cheaply as possible lol

oh and being a computer geek aswell in my case"

Really cos I’d have said extreme geek. And yes, I self identify as a geek.

It varies. I try to mention something on their profile and do a little introduction of me.

Sometimes it works but more often it doesn't. But that's fine. Get more responses on our couples profile but that's only natural.

It's why it's always good to try and go to socials and clubs. IMHO.

I have been sent jokes a few times, but to be fair whatever the line, it only works if I'm attracted to them. I'll mostly check their profile if they've messaged but humour, compliments and having read the profile get you a long way! (Compliments, I know, go ahead and call me shallow!!)

this is aQI question, not the Stephen Fry/Sandi Toksvik, but Asite called Quote investigator...

Quote Investigator: QI has located no substantive support for crediting the famous poet Alfred Lord Tennyson with this expression.

The earliest evidence of a close match found by QI was printed in an advertising section of a Santa Ana, California newspaper on Valentine’s Day in 1985. The section contained messages expressing love, and one item was addressed to Theresa from Steve:[2]

IF I HAD A SINGLE FLOWER FOR EVERYTIME I THINK ABOUT YOU I WOULD WALK FOREVER IN MY GARDEN.

The phrasing of this instance differed somewhat from the most common modern version. For example, this poem referred to “a single flower” instead of “a flower”; also, the position of the word “forever” was shifted. No attribution was listed.

In subsequent years, instances of the poem appeared as a Valentine’s Day message in other newspapers. For example, in 1989 the European edition of “The Stars and Stripes” for the U.S. Armed Forces included an item with slightly different phrasing compared to 1985. The word “about” was replaced by “of” and “would” was changed to “could”. Boldface has been added to excerpts:[3]

It is my greatest wish to give you all the love you could ever need. If I had a single flower for every time I think of you, I could walk forever in my garden. Happy Valentine’s Day!

In 1990 a Valentine’s note was printed in “The Post Standard” of Syracuse, New York. Once again no attribution was provided:[4]

If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden. My teepee is empty when you are gone

In May 1992 an illuminating instance was printed in a Rockmart, Georgia newspaper. The paper described the contents of an annual publication called “The Sting” which was created by the local Middle School. A section of memories included the verse and identified the author as Claudia Adrienne Grandi. This was the earliest ascription known to QI:[5]

A special remembrance was given to Joey Watts with a poem which read: “If I had a single flower for every time I think of you, I could walk forever in my garden” written by Claudia Adrienne Grandi.

The evocative poems of Grandi have appeared in several collections published by “Blue Mountain Arts” which is a popular greeting card company. QI believes Grandi is the most likely originator of this verse, and Tennyson should not be credited.

"I once mailed a couple to say that the lady looked like Servalan from Blake’s 7. I’m a child of the eighties and it was meant entirely as a complement."

I'm wheezing at that

I was reading the opening lines from some novels. This was the opening line from Lolita.

"Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins".

Too much?

I still have an erection whenever I see a pair of shoulder pads.

Well that particular line is aimed at a 12 yo so not sure it's the best choice...

Of course not. I did not know that. I was just looking at a list of opening lines from novels.

How about: “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman in possession of a fab account must be in want of a good cocking.”

And just to add, I just googled after your comment and certainly not something I was aware off and wish there was a button to delete a comment from here but thanks for pointing it out. I should not have just looked at the list of opening lines from novels but check it out first.My apologies as obviously that line is associated with a very controversial novel and I did not know that till now.
