I've never thought about using an ex as a referance for a new potential, but it makes sense really.

A bit like a job interview? I can see that.
Just make sure you tell your new employer to not contact your reference until you've left your job. It could make your notice period considerably more awkward than it needs to be.

Yeah', exactly.
Name: Pauly Pops
Age: 28
Personal Statement: I'm mostly housebroken, I'm a considerate lover and listener. I have a good sense of humour and feel that I can bring a lot to our future relationship.

.... etc....

But I don't have many previous referances, not on the scale of things, so I might have to use my class tutor and Ma' to help pad it out.

Just to be safe, it might be worth considering a person with position. Say a doctor.
"I can verify that Pauly Pops is healthy and clean".

No way can that be a bad thing.

I'm afraid I'm not really that healthy a person, and I'd hate for my doc to purjour himself.
Should I include my National Record of Achievement? That might bulk things out a bit.

You should mention about how you've got a great sense of humour, Gonz.
Apparently they love that. At least you might get a guilt-shag out of it as she tries to convince herself that she's not a terrible, awful human being.

"But I reeeeallly do go for guys based on their personailty and not their looks, honest ! I'm not a horrible person, I'm simply not, I give to Oxfam every month !....
.... look, you're a nice guy, one day you'll meet someone who loves you for who you are, it's just that person isn't me ! Anyway, hun, I have to go now, I've got that thing with the thing at the place, but before you go, can I get John's number off you? Yeah', he said he had an, erm, errr, office chair that I could have off him. What's that? You don't have John's number but you do have Beths? Why would I want Beth's number? Oh really, never mind. Anyway, great chatting, will call you, promise".

He lived in Southgate too.
Maybe you should meet up and you can get some chatting up tips. Then do the exact opposite of whatever he tells you.

In his defence, he managed to get you to go on a date with him
so he can't be that bad.
