The thread in which we all pray Johnny depp has signed up to POF - DATING THREAD 17!

[watchoutforthatsnail]

Here we go again....

sponge - honestly, do not panic yet. So - hes not been in contact for a few days, thats fine, your date isnt until wed, you dont have to be in constant conatact. I also wouldnt advise buying a new dress, its literally just, as all first dates are, a meeting, there is no need to be nervous or build it up into more than it is, its just two people meeting... Go as you are, lovely as you are, and let him meet the real you.

Im off on holiday tomorrow - bloody excited, even if i still have a ton of stuff/ packing to do. But i hope all of you that have dates have a great time and ill want to hear about it when i get back ;)

Hahahahaha Positively lovin' the title

Have a great holiday, snail. Any chance you're going to New Mexico (last reliable sighting of he who if only was on POF) or joining the mumsnet coaches to Norfolk with other hopefuls sightseers?

I am not really here. I am doing the first part of my big marking

Have a great holiday watch :)

And sponge I agree that you are possibly overthinking things about the date next week.

watch have a great holiday!!!
Sponge dont panic, is a first date, thats all, but i do like looking at nice things, shame i cant afford them though.

I have phoned my solicitor, might borrow my mates dog, and keep an eye on the joint account so that i know if he is in the area, although it doesnt guarantee that he would get money out. The joy of internet banking.

Why is leonardo dicaprio not on POF, surely he would fall arse over head to date ME! but only as he was in titanic/romeo&juliet.

Watch enjoy your hols, fingers firmly crossed the weather improves though!

Re my date, I'm used to guys flaking and disappearing, it's happened so many times now that I can see the signs. He was in constant contact on Mon & Tues. Then work for 2 days (when I knew I wouldn't hear from him) but nothing since. I spoke to a friend who said that he's prob unlikely to get in contact now and must just be another disappearer :(. I hope he isn't but I don't want to blithely assume Weds is going ahead, get to Weds morning & realise - when I've still not heard from him - that it isn't. I'd rather resign myself to it now, disappointing though it is.

Sponge - this is going to sound harsh, but im saying it because i care. you need to get a grip.
Dont judge this man based on the behaviour of others. Judge based on what he does. nothing else. Noone elses opion, only what you think. Your friend doesnt know him, they can hardly comment.
yes, flakes and disappearers are rife with online dating, probably at least 70% of dates i think get cancelled or one person vanishes. Ive had about 60 ish dates, so think of the stats of that! how bloody many that have vanished or ive vanished on! tons, bloody tons.
he might just be one of those types that doesnt like to be in constant conatact, he has secured a date with you and will contact you nearer the time to confirm. Its not until wed, today is only friday. I would assume it is still on until tuesday, when if you havent heard from him, then you can be pissed off.But until then you need to chill out. its just a date. with a man, who you havent met and dont even know that you would like. Dont put all the power on his side before you have even met him and certainly dont be upset about somehting that hasnt actually happened. You are just making assumptions and then getting upset about those assumptions.

izzyin - i live near where he was spotted because hes been living with me for ages

Love the new thread title. Fortunately, I don't fancy Johnny, so I'll leave him for the rest of you!

Watch, have a fab holiday. Is it you & your DD?

I'm not sure I can be bothered to date for now. I'm booked for an op to repair my fanjo at the end of July and I've got FWB trying to persuade me I want him back. All seems like too much effort.

Nope, its me, dd, our dog. My mother, my step dad, their dog. My brother, his girlfriend. and then a few days visit from my sister and her boyfriend and their dog. We All have super, massive sized tents and swingball, and jenga, and football, and frisbee, and bbqs and bunting and fairy lights and rum, and duvets and table clots and candles and cake! and there is fishing and crazy golf and a beach and crab fishing. and whatever the weather it will be totally fab, just to relax, be outside, be with people who matter and not have to think about times, or places, or racing around, or any of that stuff. and just be. cant wait.
:)

post - i hope your fanjo is ok.

Watch, that sounds fantastic - fun, sociable & relaxing. Who could want more.

Fanjo has long term issues that need sorting. Been putting it off because the last op I had nearly killed me - quite literally. Am terrified, but have to get it done.

So you're not one of the JD worshippers hordes who are praying hoping for a pre-planned accidental encounter with the man of their dreams, snail? In that case you'll be a more than valuable source of info as to his precise location when he next puts foot on this green and pleasant land.

izzy - snape KNOWS him. he has actually SPOKEN to her, send her some chocs too!!
I do love that man, esp as a pirate...... but im so super cool that i live and frequent some of his places of hanging out. oh yes. lol

oh post - i didnt see your post. Good luck for it :( operations are never nice, esp when there have been problems in the past.

Excellent post watch, the one to sponge that is. Sponge, what watch said. Choose to think positively rather than negatively and then even if he does cancel you have had a good few days of nice thoughts.

Post I hope your fanjo is ok too. Are you having a Katie Price special? A fanjo lift?

Watch your holiday sounds fab! Are you taking rum?

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but JD is already buying gifts for An Other. www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2162453/Johnny-Depp-buys-Amber-Heard-HORSE-following-Vanessa-Paradis-split.html

Not until end Jul Watch - but thank you.

Ooh gosh Post I cross posted with your post about long term fanjo issues. I hope everything goes well for you.

Mr Depp, isnt really my type either..not that I'm at all likely to be on his radar:o

I can see why dating isnt top of your list Post really hope it all goes well with your op, couple of months and it'll all be behind you:)

I cancelled my last date, I'd met him for coffee & chat and had invited him round to mine, but then just didnt feel right about it.
I texted in the morning that I was ill, but I hoped we could rearrange.
He was OK with that but I've not heard any more from him and I dont really feel inclined to contact him.

I Used to take a 'suck 'em and see' approach (excuse the pun ) but now I'd rather have no sex than sex that I'm just not really into.

Those times when I wished I hadnt kinda weigh heavily on me

"suck 'em and see"

Watch your holiday sounds great!

(Just marking my spot and going back to lurking on here and gathering tips) :)

post hope everything goes well for you, be put I am sure we will all thinking of you at the end of july.

no sex is good with me so i am resting and recuperating and saving it for someone special and until i find someone worthy i am happy to wear a chastity belt, i am happy being the way i am and you never know i might have updates unexpectedly....

Post, best wishes re op even though I know not for a while yet.

I've kind of written off my date now tbh. WhilsT I appreciate everyone's advice I think it's the best way for me. If he's going to contact me he will, but sadly I think he's probably just like all the rest. If - and it seems highly unlikely - I do hear from him, then that's a nice surprise). And I suppose at least for a couple of days I felt vaguely happy and had something to look forward to.

Aw, thank you all for the good wishes. I'm sure I'll be on here blithering like an idiot in the days running up to it, so keep the hallibut to hand as I will need some serious slapping!

Sponge - probably better to see it happening as a bonus. Think keeping expectations low isn't a bad idea at all.

Place marking have a lovely holiday watch sounds fun! :)
