Date last night - he’s only just left!!

[Tiredsaturday]

I don’t know why I’m writing this really except that I’m wired and don’t know what else to do having texted a couple of my friends!

Had a date last night. Lovely man who I’d been chatting to for a few weeks by text and phone. Had a coffee with him earlier in the week. This was ‘out out’.

He’s only just left!!! Hehe! What a night! I am happy, excited, very tired indeed (!) and ever so slightly not really but a bit comically ashamed.

Dunno what the AIBU is apart from maybe ‘AIBU to suggest to the kids later that we all go to bed at 6?’

Aww

did you have a doorstep snog while hoping the neighbours don't appear 😂

This is the best attitude, then you win both ways! When I don’t see someone again, I think “well we enjoyed the night together” Live by the day

There was no doorstep snog! And there was no breakfast at all, let alone in his shirt. It wasn’t an awkward departure. I just think we both knew that Corn Flakes needn’t be served!

Someone asked about the best bits. Well I’m sure you can imagine.

The kids go to bed at 3pm.. enjoy 😅😅😅

So you basically invited a stranger back to your house for the night!!
Not a great move!

Bore off

Well she’s still here to tell the tale and smiling, so I guess it worked out well for her. I know I’m jealous 😂

ah lovely thread and is anyone else just a tad jealous too?'

Oh I miss nights like that. Have been reminiscing recently about my 20s and reading some steamy emails….good for you!

@Tiredsaturday I'm loving this and loving the strategy!

I've had a few snoggy dates and suggested a drink in my neck of the woods on Monday,.you've inspired me!

BORING 😴

Awww, so nice to hear someone who had a great date, and a great time!

I’m surprised it took so long for someone to make a killjoy comment! 😂

Enjoy, op. How exciting 😁🥳

I was disappointed that you started this thread at 9:00am.

I was initially thinking that he had stayed all night, all morning and all afternoon 😂

Are you her mum?

Nice one OP! Glad you had a good time! I had a similar date 13 years ago. long story short, he never left! We're married with kids now!
We still talk about our first date and what an amazing night it was!
Hope you get a good kip and see him again soon!

Look at some statistics around Sexual Crimes against women, and then say it’s “boring”.

I’m delighted that the OP had a consensual fuck with some guy that she’s met twice, clearly means a lot to her … however, inviting a stranger to your house, and getting naked with them, can end very badly - and good luck getting it prosecuted, if something bad did happen.

Sorry not to join in with the giggles but 1 in 30 women in the UK are raped or sexually assaulted, and whilst this one ended ok, we really can never let our guard down.

Have your heard from him since he left, OP? 👀👀👀

Glad you enjoyed yourself.

Don’t want to deflate your bubble. But do be wary of having a man you don’t know much about (other than what he’s told you) into your kids’ home. Best to wait until you’ve got to know him a bit better. An hotel room can be a better option.

@Tiredsaturday I had one of these dates a few years ago - I’d had the odd bit of fun here and there since my divorce but I clicked with this one from the first second of date one. Date two involved him visiting my house and, erm, very much proving his worth as a gentleman friend (at one point we were so giddy and giggly and pheromone-drunk that we high fived each other over how great we were in bed together 😂). I wasn’t looking for anything serious but he set a very high bar. That was three years ago.

Off on holiday with him tomorrow, he’s just done the hoovering, cooked dinner with the DC and DSC, and has just now appeared and asked me if i want a cup of tea. So it turned out he was a gem of a human being in addition to his other talents 😜

I wish you the same with your gent, it can happen!

I do apologise I just read your update that your kids were not home.

In that case, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Good for you! Glad you had fun! Hope it continues.

Good luck to you Hun 😘

PS suggest you take it very slowly before you introduced him to your kids. My DS was 24 & living in his own place when DH & me met. DS didn't meet DH until DH & me had bee seeing each other for more than a year. DS knew about him & would notice the flowers & say 'I see that you're still seeing Mr Flowers then', but I wanted to be sure before they met.

As a happily single mum of 9 years, this has really made me smile! Good luck @Tiredsaturday Mumsnet will always find a reason to dampen (😂😂) anything positive!! You need to enjoy it whilst you can xx
