We caught up with Martin, an ex member of our site for the over 40′s; Plenty More Silver Fish and here’s what he had to say:
“After a bit of a rocky start, Jac 53 is now in a relationship with me and I am so happy after 4 years on my own and I hope she feels the same! (The sparks are flying and get better everyday!) Success story and thank you, I will never look back! Martin”

PDA. How much is too much?
We’ve probably all indulged in a little PDA (public displays of affection) at some point in our lives but how much is too much? Where does it start to cross the line?
For some, to become completely unaware of your surroundings due to your obsession with each other is somewhat of a fairytale. For others, it’s an uncomfortable and unfair act of shoving your “perfect relationship” down the throat of others.
As romantic as the scene above is, what would you feel if you were a passenger in the taxi behind? Would you glance up lovingly and feel warm fuzzy feelings take over you or would you feel angry, annoyed and slightly repulsed? Is it a case of PDA being acceptable in the movies but just totally uncalled for in “real life?” Or, do you think we should all stop being so prude and let our feelings take over. If we want to grab our partner in a busy street and plant a great bit smacker on their lips then it’s perfectly acceptable.
What do you think? Are you guilty of PDA? Do you mind it? And how much is too much?
When to exchange numbers
You’ve been messaging to and fro for some time now and a date is very much on the cards. You feel ready to move the conversation to a different medium. It’s important to remember that plenty more fish isn’t a messaging service – it’s a dating site. So how do you “make the move” and get their number?
Easy. Just ask them!
Just go for it. What have you go to lose? It may be a little nerve-racking but if you like them you’ve got to start somewhere. To begin with, if you’re a little phone shy you don’t necessarily have to speak – you can just text until you feel more comfortable. It just makes things much easier than going online every time you want to catch up!
Some may see it as a big deal and a huge step but actually, it’s a great step after messaging on the site. It also allows you to text them with “I’m running late” before a date- we know what you ladies are like!
So what are you waiting for? Swap digits and get dating!

Success story: Carol & Shane
Congratulations to Carol and Shane on finding eachother on Plenty More Fish UK!
Here is Carol’s story:
“I met Shane Allinson after he set me a ice breaker, on the 2nd of July. We chatted on the phone for one night, we met for lunch three days after and within five mins there was a spark and it’s never gone.
I had a holiday booked on the 7th of July to take my son to Egpyt. We spoke every night for a hour on the phone while i was away and we both felt the same and couldn’t wait to get back. Me and my son arrived home on the 17th of July, Shane was waiting for me.
The feelings we have for each other have grown more and more each day. We may live 50 miles from each other but that doesnt stop us. We are going on holiday on Wednesday with his kids and mine and can’t wait.
We both talked about the site after, and we were going to give up [but] I am so glad I didnt. It works. My advice to everyone [would be] keep trying.
Thanks to you all xx”
Aw, we love a happy ending! If you have a success story you wish to share, we would love to know! Please send them to marketing@plentymorefish.com.

First dates: What their food choice can tell you
The foodies at plenty more fish (yes, that’s most of us) think that you can tell what someone is like through their food choices. From our own experience, we have compiled a list of first date food choices and what on earth they could possibly mean?!
A bit of fun rather than factual. However, we reckon there may be some truth in this
If your date orders…
- Tagliatelle or Spaghetti. They are willing to take risks and are not afraid of looking silly. A confident person.
- A margherita pizza. Likes to keep things simple. An easy going sort of person not looking to overcomplicate things.
- Any kind of soy product. High maintenance alert!
- French food. They are sophisticated and tasteful. They enjoy the finer things in life.
- Pub grub. Laid back kind of person. Chatty, sociable and fun.
- Fast food. In our eyes, going to McDonalds, Burger King or KFC for a date really shouldn’t happen. If it does, we think this indicates laziness.
- Tapas. A spontaneous kind of person who likes to try new things
- Indian food. They don’t kiss on a first date
- Anything flavoured heavily with Garlic and onion. They definitely don’t kiss on a first date.
- Seafood. They have a strong personality and will not change for anyone. Good for them!

We’re a demanding bunch…apparently
Like most days, today started with the usual skimming of the metro on the train. This time however, I came across an interesting piece which I thought I should share with our plenty more fish members!

- 47% would run a mile with an overly loud laugh
- 42% said a plus was a date who was green/environmentally conscious
- 16% of men aged 25-50 asked that the woman not pick her feet in front of him
