I'm trying not to get carried away as it might yet fall through (would't surprise me)

But eek.. I have a date! with a nice looking 28yo.. that I actually met in a bar a couple of weeks ago.

I've been playing it uber cool as I actually wasn't that fussed about meeting up with him, I think that might be what has kept him interested.. but now today is here, I'm feeling a little excited!

First proper date in some time and I'm a little hopeful as I haven't been 'looking' lately

hi Mascara sorry for the delay been shopping well I just went out for a drink with him and he has rang and text every day since we just clicked I wasn't expecting to as like you had a bad time plus I only took said yes as he was getting on my nerves when I was out with my friends, I thought it would get rid of him and here am 2 weeks later and he is asking me out all the time, telling me he likes me etc we have had a few snogs but he hasnt tried anything else. Keep thinking its to good to be true and find myself being abit cynical but I think I should chill and just go with the flow, and enjoy being spoiled as he wont let me pay for anything (i do try) but he just says why. We are going out tonight

let me know how you get on Mascara.

Not sure if we will meet up but he's ill and might be getting made redundant today and is getting hassle from his ex, although they broke up in March

He suggested Sunday instead but I'm busy all weekend and then I'm away next weekend.

It could just be really rubbish timing!

Actually I'm not really fussed, would have been nic eto go for a drink but if it doesn't happen I'm not too bothered, I only spoke to him for about 5 minutes and we've not spoken on phone, only texts.

He's going to let me know the outcome of today so I'll see if he texts.

If there's any movement I'll keep you posted

If your gonna see him again, I'd reply. Although its been nearly an hour since your text, so you've probably replied already.
You lucky girl MoH, make sure you go on a date with him when he calls.

Text him. Say something nice and supportive.

Give him a bit of time too but don't give up on this one.

Give it a go. You are only committing to a couple of hours of your life. You may have a lovely surprise, if not nothing lost .

HELLO!!

OMG, I have so much news, hope someone is still reading lol

I did reply, I just sent a bland text mentioning the outcome and wishing him a good time this weekend. he replied you have a good one

forgot about him, went out last night and hooked up with an old friend who I'd lost contatc with.. who has happened to turn into a nice looking straping young man!! we have been in contact via text on and off all day I have a perma-grin. I went to bed last night feeling all happy and excited and woke up this morning, grinned to myself and fell back into happy dreams and we only had a cheeky kiss

so the the first guy text me this afternoon. I've jsut replied.

Men really are like buses
