To make my bf wait hours for his blind date

567 replies

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 .....

@RedTartanLass you are my hero GrinWineThanksCake

Saladd0dger · 04/01/2018 14:35

Doh! Was going to pop to Swindon today but changed my mind

Mooey89 · 04/01/2018 14:35

I think you are my favourite person, OP

swingofthings · 04/01/2018 14:36

Red, how can you be so sure he doesn't know it's you? What you did was great, but it's been done before. You say he's been behaving suspiciously, which is why you went and checked if he had a profile. So if he's not stupid, it's not that hard to put 2 and 2 together. I think he knows it's you.

BareBum · 04/01/2018 14:38

Who cares if he does think it’s her? He won’t know for sure unless she admits it, and that will always niggle at him Grin

AhNowTed · 04/01/2018 14:39

Swing it hardly matters now anyway

Well played OP

PavlovianLunge · 04/01/2018 14:40

Strange how all those calling for details of the photo (why, what difference would it make?) have clammed up... troll hunting in disguise?

gingergenius · 04/01/2018 14:40

Frankly if he puts her, he outs himself, and if he doesn't, he's dumped anyway so either way he's fucked!

Psychobabble123 · 04/01/2018 14:41

What a tit, you deserve so much better OP.

CorbynsBumFlannel · 04/01/2018 14:41

I'd unblock and message him saying you saw him and he wasn't your type.
Then I'd contact him as you as normal for a few days then send him a really nice message about how you're really sorry but you need to end things. You aren't sexually compatible and you had been holding on thinking sex isn't that important but you've realised you only live once and can't waste your life in an unsatisfying relationship. Don't let him know that you ever knew.

scampimom · 04/01/2018 14:41

Doesn't matter if he knows it's Red or not - his arse is in the bin anyway.

Sweetpea55 · 04/01/2018 14:44

Wish there was a ''like '' button on here...
Well done Red,,you played a blinder,

Hey may have a suspicion it's me ... but he doesn't know and how can he find out without asking me outright!

I've fucked with his mind too. He works for a charity and as the catfish said what a good, kind man he sounded. Which was good as "her" friends had advised that there was a lot of married men on POF.

Then about half an hour later as me, I WhatsApped him and when he told he was going to the "gym" I said be careful you're such a good man!!

So he may suspect ... but what can he say to me without outing himself!

Delicious!

Maybe you could send that song to his phone, I think it's called "The Pina Colada Song" by Rupert Holmes - with a background of sniggers.

swingofthings · 04/01/2018 14:49

That's what I meant, suspicious enough to guess that it is probably you but indeed, he's been had. Hope he is now kicking himself for realising that not only he didn't get his exciting moment, he's lost the person who actually he did really like, but he was just an idiot thinking he could have it all. What a pity!

Are you planning to contact him as yourself innocently to see what he responds or wait to see if he does?

cakietea · 04/01/2018 14:49

Deny deny deny - anyway, how can he raise the subject without looking a colossal bellend Grin

Sorry it’s happened to you know Flowers

crackerjacket · 04/01/2018 14:51

Flippin brilliant.

Good for you, Red

crackerjacket · 04/01/2018 14:52

I'd wait and let him contact you

CaptainCabinets · 04/01/2018 14:56

This is awful but you sound absolutely brilliant! What a wanker he is.

crackerjacket · 04/01/2018 14:57

I'm sure this isn't a troll but couldn't give a shit if it actually is. I'm at work and bored and this thread has made my morning : )

glueandstick · 04/01/2018 14:58

Fuck me. I was walking past at 12.45. If only I had read that sooner. (No joke. Really was)

Omfg omfg omfg

HE'S JUST RANG ME!!

I swear this is true!!!

First of all I panicked and thought I can't answer then thought fuck it!!!

"High darling, how are you? How's the gym?"

Then I received 5 minutes of how wonderful I was, how the last 2 days had been great. How much he was looking forward to going to his friend's wedding ......

He's been to town but not going to gym until 5pm.

Am I fucking mad? Did I just dream the last 2 hours!!

Jeeezus! Help me! That call has shocked the fuck out me. How can someone be so sly and devious .... I am shaking.

You know how they'll put any old shite in classics now, can we nominate this thread and then direct anyone who finds out their partner is a cheating shit towards it.

Red, you are my hero.
