Clacton on sea

Hello youngsaucygranny,
I am in Colchester and do not drive, but can easily get the train to Clacton.
I am also the editor of the Colchester Local pages, which cover Clacton and the whole CO postcode area.
If you give us a date, time and place that suits you I will do my best to come and to drum up others who are willing to come to you.

I can easily get to Clacton so just let me know where and when!!

Hiya. Hi Pittcity. It is good of you to offer to come to Clacton. I think we may have enough in common. I thought there may already be a meet in Clacton. I would be happy to exchange details of age, hobbies, interests etc and see if I have enough in common for meets. Not into groups and crowds of strangers. I can get time off of work when it suits me as I own and run the business. Happy to give a lot more info about me when I know more myself.

p.s. Am also seeking friends for email friendship and phone friendship if too far too meet up with - (so long as we have stuff in common of course).

with the name you have chosen for yourself on this site, you may get some interesting replies

Exactly Jess - should one report or not?

LOL. Life is too short to be serious and boring, don't take to people who are serious and boring all of the time.

By the way... I am 100% straight and respectable. NOT wanting to meet any lesbians or those who are curious about giving THAT a try thank you.
I am a lot of fun and a good laugh but strictly platonic. I would find a sexy guy if I wanted that type of fun.

I think you may be on the wrong site saucy.

Those of us whose usernames are blue, colour not connotation, have public profiles so all can see what we are prepared to reveal about ourselves.

Yes Pittcity thanks for that.

I will check out the profiles of anyone who shows an interest a meet, would not be fair to waste their time - or mine - meeting if we do not have enough in common.

Why not do your own profile and let people check you out as it works both ways I think don't you ? JessM thinking you may be right with your thoughts.

Gransnet is not a site for making one special friend, it is for chatting online to a lot of people. The coffee meetups are the icing on the cake for those who would like to put faces to the posters they have sorresponded with.

If you only want to meet someone you are 100% sure you have a lot in common with it could take you a lot of checking out of profiles. Take a chance!

It is not a dating agency, either for straight or for gay people, so you have nothing to worry about there.

Why not join a few people who are already meeting? If you have posted a few times on the forum and read what they post you will know them a little.

Corresponded, not sorresponded. Fat finger syndrome!

Well put Elegran

I second Kitty there. Thankyou Elegran.
So is anyone up for organising a meetup?

Elegran. Thanks for the post but I do not need advice. And no thanks I do not meet up with people taking a chance - as you call it - hoping we have something in common. I would not take a day off work - unpaid for that.
I check out my clients carefully before I let them consult me, and most of them consult me by email and phone and cannot come to my office to see me. I am happy to chat on here when I am in the mood and have time and meet someone special and worth meeting if and when that comes - as the icing on the cake. I will do a profile.

Glad to hear that you know what you are doing.

As the people on Gransnet are not clients, but friends, and all the meetups I have been at have been with several people and in very public places, I have never bothered too much with checking out their credentials. Of course, most of them have been with posters who already knew one another from exchanging friendly views on all manner of subjects, just like people you would meet in other circumstances. If I had been advertising to meet a stranger with a view to close friendship and private comunications it would have been different.

I hope you find that Gransnet is what you are looking for, and are not disappointed.

'Clients' ....'

Freudian slip methinks ...

Yeah this is all confusing. I live Brightlingsea and am looking for friends too, but would not ever just meet up with just any person who wants to meet me and need to know they are abouts 65-75 and my types. Yeah like meeting up with a bunch of just anyones would not suits me. Too busy anyways and can go U3A Probus and stuff for that. Last year I put ads in local papers for friends and got loads of replies, but did not rush to meet them all, asked them questions and chatted on phone lots of times to be sure it as good idea first. Some of them were nutters, idiots and bores or way too young or too old and such. One old ladies wanted me go round her place and do shopping and cleaning for her! I work in a nursing home twelve hour shifts six days a week and take care of ma and pa and hubby and need to spend my time off best ways.

So - this is not the place for you?
