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 .....

Wow what a knob. Well done OP, hope you find a better one next time.

Gravelface · 04/01/2018 14:11

I have lurked here on MN for years and years and never really bother logging in to post.

This thread has prompted me to do just that!

Well done Red, I hope you recover from this quickly and thank your lucky stars you're away from this bloke.

Brilliant work Red but as for your next move, just go with your gut. We can give support here over the inter web but only you knows what’s best for yourself.

Good luck though, you do sound lovely and hopefully 2018 will bring a terrific new man into your life. Rather than an utterly pathetic cock who probably also has a pathetic cock.

AhNowTed · 04/01/2018 14:12

He doesn't know it's you.. if he did he wouldn't be saying time waster. He's just trying to score a flimsy point with 'her'

AlwaysPondering · 04/01/2018 14:15

Well done OP and sorry you wasted any time on this shithead Wine

jpclarke · 04/01/2018 14:15

That’s so upsetting for you op, I hope you are ok. He really isn’t worth anymore of your time.

forumdonkey · 04/01/2018 14:15

You go girl! I wish I'd have done that when I found my ex on a dating site. I did however make a profile with my photo on it and messaged him on the site.

Well done for keeping your cool OP! I am place marking for updates!

MadeForThis · 04/01/2018 14:22

I would leave it a few days then break up with him. List his faults and how he really isn't interesting. You've been struggling for a while to make it work but it's not worth it.

Let him be dumped twice in the one week.

I would unblock on POF first to say that you saw him from across the street and could tell that he wasn't your type and wasn't going to waste your time on someone without the minimum looks that you go for. You wouldn't settle for him.

Anniethinggose · 04/01/2018 14:23

It sounds quite a casual relationship, are you sure you were on the same page? Some people do date until they're exclusive.
However you play this, keep your dignity and don't let him know you're behind this or he will paint you as the 'bad guy' and will tell everyone you're a weirdo or crazy. Not fair but he will be angry and humiliated and will turn on you.

Wellfuckmeinbothears · 04/01/2018 14:23

Well done red!

So sorry he’s such a wanker, he didn’t deserve you Wine Flowers

feral · 04/01/2018 14:24

I can't believe he's messaging catfish 'not nice ' considering what he's up to!

Well done OP - and he's worth no tears!

Reading this I'm torn between crying and laughing. Well done on such a subtle and sweet revenge OP. I admire your chutzpah. But I am sorry someone you liked turned out to be such an arse.

Onwards and upwards. Flowers

AhNowTed · 04/01/2018 14:28

Friend of mine was in hospital (terminal) and she could be a bad bitch. She set up a fake profile with a gorgeous pic and lured men (married she assumed so "fuck them" - she had a real vendetta for no apparent reason against cheating married men).

She watched from the hospital window as they showed up at the meeting spot on the street below, all the time texting "yeah babe be 10 min" and thought it was hilarious.

It was, but I did feel a bit sorry for the stupid fools.

@Gravelface thanks - genuinely appreciated.

It wasn't a "casual" relationship. I made it clear it was monogamous and despite being cheated on throughout my last relationship, it wasn't going to spoil me and make me unable to trust!

Hahahahahahaha

Hissy · 04/01/2018 14:29

You're a legend love!

You'll find better, without doubt. he's an idiot

BoobleMcB · 04/01/2018 14:30

What was the last message you sent from Catfish? He may have an inkling it's you by text type and mannerisms so be careful you don't give yourself away (unless you want to obvs)
