No I actually meant a quiche, cheese and tomato is my favourite though!

ike1 · 15/05/2013 23:45

Think he would have happily missed his last train home though...had to remind him and then walk him briskly to the station....

ike1 · 15/05/2013 23:46

Yeah cheese an tom no messin'...

skyeskyeskye · 16/05/2013 00:16

ok you wise people, sorry, I dip in and out of here, but it moves so fast and Im not really dating, that I cant keep up with it all!

I have been exchanging messages with man on match.com, he contacted me first, this morning he messaged at 7.30am and said that it would be easier to keep in touch by mobile today rather than through match, so I gave him my mobile number and havent heard from him since! He said that my messages made him smile. I have sent him a little message on match tonight, not mentioning the mobile thing, and still not heard from him.

I know i shouldnt stress over nothing, but why ask for my number, then not contact me?! its really puzzling me?!

SPsCliffingAllOverMN · 16/05/2013 00:21

Marking place so don't lose thread.

Checked messages in both sites. All either just 'hi' or weird requests. Tempted to just delete profiles and get 100's of cats.

I have my dad coming at 10 in the morning. Hes moving to another country in next couple of week for good so hes coming to say bye to my son as he will be gone by time my son gets back from his holiday.

mercury7 · 16/05/2013 00:21

Sorry to hear he wasnt your cup of tea Ike :(

Kin the dressing gown rings a bell with Ivorbigun, seem to remember him portraying himself as wealthy?

Disappear like a ship in the night, he is not worth your time and energy. How horrid does he sound!

Good morning everyone,

Ike, do you think you might become more attracted to G Ruse if you spend more time with him ? (I was hoping for him to be of Nameless/R&R/Dutchie-esque loveliness and chemistry proportions)

Wine excuse me putting my 'stating the bleeding obvious' hat on but he sounds like he has serious issues going on, and in fact, the photo taken at your house and put on his profile seems really rather manipulative.
I can understand why he's got to you but I think you should completely avoid anything to do with him, he's completely hatstand.

Mercury Ivor's profile seemed a little ...sparse. If he's wealthy, he wants to invest in a better dressing gown.

Skye hello and welcome, come on in. In my experience, expecting logical behaviour from men in OD tends to lead to bafflement and disappointment - a lot of them do this kind of thing, praise you to the skies and then, poufffff ! disappear into the ether. The best thing to do is to shrug and chalk it up to experience, the rules at the beginning of the thread are your friend.

Flipper924 · 16/05/2013 07:22

My ivorbigun sounds like Nora's. I thought I must be special because he messaged me on POf and OKC.

Ike, I always say this, but he might be a grower. Do you feel as meh this morning?

KirstyWirsty · 16/05/2013 07:37

skye maybe he just likes to collect numbers .. That is all the challenge he needs? Who knows ...

wine go no contact, ignore and relax

lubeybooby · 16/05/2013 07:49

Hello all!

Miranda as I always say anyone loved up is welcome and NEEDED! Someone loved up from RL or online dating has valuable info/input/perspective for any dater. Any accusations of quicheness in the future just tell em to do one. I have no idea what's gone on as haven't been here but have had a few messages I can't make all that much sense of.

anyway hey ho new thread and all that I'm not even going to attempt to catch up because I'm still not officially here yet - not out the other side of the madness yet..

Shag date is on for this weekend though. I'll update on Sunday...

VelvetSpoon · 16/05/2013 07:49

skye welcome :) as Kin said, I'm afraid the OD male is prone to this weird msg/msg/msg/vanish behaviour. It has happened to us all, doesn't make it any less annoying.

SPs no need for drastic cat action yet! Give it time...I have contemplated the cat route myself but given I don't even like cats, I'm not sure I could bring myself to!

wine what a nasty manipulative little creep he is. Please don't engage with him further.

Morning to everyone else. The sun is shining, I feel in a decent mood won't last. Hope you all have an excellent Thursday! :)

Wine I get why this has got to you, he sounds like bad news. Block and blank, this man has no place in your life. Nothing.

Sky we've all sat around at some stage wondering why we have a vanisher on OD. No point in wondering why though, people just seem to do this.
