To make my bf wait hours for his blind date

RedTartanLass · 04/01/2018 12:17

Ok so I've not been on here for years ...... but I'm raging. My bf has been behaving suspiciously so I checked online and right enough the wanker has a POF profile!

So I catfished him and we're meeting today at 12:30 ..... well he thinks we are ... I'm not turning up. Want to see how long I can make him wait!

If you're in Swindon feel free to give him a wave!!

Am I being unreasonable to make him wait a couple of hours. Will I be able to drag it out that long .....

Flowers really sorry this is happening OP.

But wow, what a brilliant way to catch him out. He sounds like an absolute twonk.

gingergenius · 04/01/2018 13:26

@Justbreathing I am, honest!!

Pearlsaringer · 04/01/2018 13:27

Hereward’s suggestion is best. Trouble with saying he is disappointing in relation to his profile is that he will just shrug it off and start again with someone new.

This is fun for us but shit for you OP, you are a star for handling it so well. Wine

BewareOfDragons · 04/01/2018 13:27

hahaha

What mummy2017 said. Brilliant.

purplepug · 04/01/2018 13:30

I'm so sorry you are going through this. You are better off without that dick though.

ginplease8383 · 04/01/2018 13:30

Please update us the suspense is killing me!

Well done OP. Better you know now what a scumbag he is!

swingofthings · 04/01/2018 13:30

I'm so sorry OP, as you've said, the whole felt good for that hour, but it doesn't take away the fact that a few days ago, you thought you were loved up and now you're not.

I think your plan is good, but I would add a bit more for your reason to end the relationship that will hurt his feelings like he's hurt yours.

MissDuke · 04/01/2018 13:30

I don't know what POF, catfishing or ghosting is Blush but am trying to get the gist of things.

I definitely think that the idea of replying 'oh you are my friends bf' is brilliant! Hope you are ok op Flowers

PricillaQueenOfTheDesert · 04/01/2018 13:31

Ooooh, do you know what he is wearing today? Could you message him a “ I couldn’t possibly be seen with someone who thinks xyz top is acceptable day wear”. Make out like she has seen him and thinks he looks a bit sad.

Weezol · 04/01/2018 13:31

Hereward's suggestion is perfect.

To all those calling 'troll' maybe you should RTFT.

LloydColeandtheCoconuts · 04/01/2018 13:34

I’m also searching for the penguin thread. I don’t have any college work to do my 3 year can look after the 4 month old

Flowers OP

RedTartanLass · 04/01/2018 13:34

Omg omg omg omg so sorry for laughing but the penny has dropped. He's just messaged on POF

"Ok not nice"

Am gonna ghost him as catfish .... think that will be more of a mindfuck than the "You're ugly"

Coz he won't know if she did see him and thought he was ugly or ..... he won't know!! Now that would piss me off much more!!

Can't believe Shiney's penguin thread was so long ago! How much time have I wasted on here in those 9 years?!

I remember you RedTartanLass. I would have to let him know it was me though. I would want to see his face when the penny dropped.

EvilDoctorHogmanayDuck · 04/01/2018 13:35

ODFOD, Carbohol. Have I just broken Talk Guidelines?

MrsMozart · 04/01/2018 13:35

Blinking heck lass! What a shit he is.

Hope you get to do Here's text.

Mxyzptlk · 04/01/2018 13:35

Be offended, then give him the friend's bf line.

penguin thread, though as trills said earlier, the op's posts have been redacted. so it's not the same.

Bindibot · 04/01/2018 13:35

Shiney and the penguin is nine years.

BLOODY HELL

Get a velar defo.

Your insurance will be about 4 grand if you even manage to get it though. It goes up once you pass.

Have you already found someone to let you drive your own car when you learn. Most around my way wouldn't due to their own insurance.

Dottie39 · 04/01/2018 13:36

Are you going to tell him that you know he is a cheating scumbag?

Cbaanymore123 · 04/01/2018 13:36

Ok wrong thread. Cringe

gingergenius · 04/01/2018 13:36

I'd whatsapp him now saying "so how did the date go? Am guessing she didn't turn up?"

Justbreathing · 04/01/2018 13:36

well done op. He will be seething and in a bad mood all day. ghosting is much better.

leave it a good amount of time till you kick him to the curb

Dottie39 · 04/01/2018 13:37

I would definitely do the, I recognised you as reds boyfriend etc

CandleLit · 04/01/2018 13:37

Could you breezily reply "I'm here! Where are you?"
