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 .....

Text him from your own number now “babe, you’ll never guess what, I’m in swindon, had to pick something up for work, I’ll come and meet you on your lunch break, just walking down Wood St now (or wherever he’s waiting)”

this will 100% end up on the daily fail.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 04/01/2018 12:32

You’re going to stay with him after this I assume? Ask him to order something expensive for you to eat. And wine. Then please call the restaurant and explain and ask them to get a waiter/ress to pass on a ‘you’re dumped, knobhead’ msg.

I live quite close to swindon but havent got car today. I would happily have gone to take pics for you.

Iamclearlyamug · 04/01/2018 12:33

so sorry to hear you're going through this OP but your plan is genius and I'll be following for updates 😁

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 04/01/2018 12:33

MrsMotherHen · 04/01/2018 12:33

This has sadly been redacted, but the essence is the same.

ManchesterGin · 04/01/2018 12:34

Oh my god. What a bastard. Well done for playing him. Get far away from this slimy creep as soon as possible.

Carbohol78 · 04/01/2018 12:34

Oh no, @justbreathing, it’s like that other thread on here. RWCHNT ... The Daily Mail is why we can’t have nice things AngrySad

Butterymuffin · 04/01/2018 12:34

Go in and tell him the game's over and so are you two.

pictish · 04/01/2018 12:35

No...don't over egg the pudding by asking for pics as he'll smell a rat (takes one to know one and all that) - just keep it subtle for now.

blueskyinmarch · 04/01/2018 12:36

You need some big reveal OP so he knows he is well and truly caught - and dumped.

Allthetuppences · 04/01/2018 12:36

He is a complete wanker. Our sympathies. For your sake. Get simple evidence as suggested above of his planning to cheat (photo suggestion sent to the contact you've made up). Break all contact on that. Ignore him for a couple of days and wait him out having developed some ice to keep in hus direction.
For now, you know where he is and that he can be avoided. Go somewhere really nice with a friend for lunch xx

SoulStew · 04/01/2018 12:36

You need this date to cancel, and arrange a new one......to which you turn up!

MotherCupboard · 04/01/2018 12:36

What a rat! I hope youre going to dump him.

RedTartanLass · 04/01/2018 12:36

Trills - that's where I got the idea from! Was that the bourton in the water one!

Anyway I've replied

So sorry about 10 minutes. Another bus just behind.

Posting because I need updates!

Trills · 04/01/2018 12:37

It was the penguin sanctuary one... Can't remember the location.

LazyDailyMailJournos · 04/01/2018 12:38

Just warning you OP but if this takes off it will almost certainly be picked up by the Daily Fail et al. Make sure you're comfortable with that.

whiskyowl · 04/01/2018 12:38

Oh my God, I really REALLY want there to be a Mumsnetter within striking distance to record this for classics posterity.

Well done, OP, nicely played, nicely played!

RedTartanLass · 04/01/2018 12:38

Omg for you asking!! Of course he's dumped!!

I'm gonna make him wait as long as can let text him to say

Sorry but I saw you and you're not my type!!
