Where have all the fit, interesting and available men gone (part 24)

[Remotew]

Hello!

I think I might be the one who types too slowly here thankyewverymuch!

religious dating? shame
you feeling bit better janos? silly, silly man
can't help thinking at 21 to have a child by someone as you describe will be v v bleak

Right off to bed now, early start.

Thanks again for listening. A good vent has cleared my head. Will catch up properly tomorrow :).

FLF agreed, just feel jaded by these sites now. Can't be arsed.

Yeah ninah. I think it will. Poor girl :(.

I have decided that I prefer the whole 'catching someone's eye in a club or bar' type thing. I'm not very good at internet dating.

I have a weird set up in that my ex stays over at weekends (we've settled into being friends and we're in the same social circle)so I have babysitting on tap, it's just persuading friends to go out with me.
I've also found a great 80's night in a nightclub down the road, so I have fun even if i don't get chatted up!

Ooh where's that FLF? I'm not a big clubber but like the sound of that.

Right, really off to bed now!

In America Eharmony is definitely a religious site. Over here it's not quite so extreme, but it won't match you if you're separated, you have to be divorced, but not more than 3 divorces. The founder/ bloke who set it up is an Evangelical christian.

Janos, If you ever get friday nights free, it's just off Lothian Road... fancy going some time?

(I promise it's NOT Espionage!)

know what you mean about preferring rl situations. A good night round here too, Cortina Nights, think I may well invest in that rather than subs!
I think if you have a good life the rest follows
your ex set up sounds cool
by trying new things, like the festival stuff, I have met some really good people and I feel all the time life is expanding
don't necessarily want to get diverted back into coupledom
brought up with v conventinal values I suppose and is hard to break away completely
I don't mind eharmony weeding out separations. Bad times with separated men. If they could weed out fuglies loonies and illiterates would be better. And don't want to support religious interests.

at weeding out the fuglies loonies and illiterates, if only!

The ex situ has prevented me from rushing into anything else because i kind of have that compainionship. It took a lot longer to get over the relationship, but has been worth it for the most part.

Not sure how it will work if I actually want another relationship, but we'll cross that bridge if I ever meet anyone worth having!

I love my nightclub, it seems to have a reasonable ammount of regulars and I just dance most of the night...
I love being single (miss the sex occasionally!) I have the kids, I have great mates and so many men seem more needy than my 3yr old, I can't be bothered! I'm very choosy these days, but that's no bad thing

Right, must go to bed.
My DD started nursery school this week, she loves it, but she's started creeping into my bed at about 3:30am and then sleeping in the middle of the bed. I'm shattered!

Night night, sweet dreams x

Blimey Janos - good answer imo.

FLF - you sound in good form.

Ninah - are you beginning to get fond of that bed?

Yes, life feels good at the moment, how are you, Monty?

Thanks Monty.

Well, had a bit of a restless night but feeling somewhat better this morning.

Still having what the fucking fuckety fuck moments, mind you.

FLF - my DS (now 5) went through a stage of doing that around the same age as your DD. I'd be woken up in the night by a little burrowing creature who despite his size would seem to take up 2/3 of the entire bed. Rest assured it's just a phase - she's probably just a wee bit unsettled.

Oh, and deffo up for your night oot offer.

morning

I have a date tra la la

Woohoo! Well done mily tell all!

Janos, are you on facebook?

from last night? online? spill!

Yes I am FLF - not on vee often but shall make an exception for you.

On under my own name which I won't put here but am friends with lou, kdk, sbelle and abouteve, look for them and you'll find me.

mummy - good news! :)

Gawd, that sounds vee snotty doesn't it. Not meant that way, at all, sorry!

god, I've got such a busy day (boss back Tuesday thank goodness, has been a long 3 weeks) but I can't concentrate, am like teenager

Ninah, from online. Had a cracking time last night though and a v fit bloke kept checking me out and smiling encouragingly but I was actually enjoying myself way too much with workmates and couldn't be bothered with the whole chat up thing tbh. Also, imagine how mortifying to go on the pull in full view of workmates - would never live it down

however, had been exchanging interesting (non-flirtatious) emails with green man man (GMM)and the professor over the previous couple of days. Plus a couple of others. And they all keep asking me what I am up to at the weekend - which is small talk I do realsie but my answers are always versions of 'up to my eyballs in activities with children'.....so i decided to say to GMM, look here is my situation (XH, kids etc), would far rather meet up for a coffee and see if there is anything there than carry on convoluted emails.....thought it would scare him off but not at all, sent me a charming answer back and how about we meet up in my town one evening next week....so we are, Thursday!

Meanwhile the prof intrigues me, v fit and v bright and I am now hooked on him but he is man of relatively few words.....so I sent him a prod email last night (after drink taken with colleagues ) and am now on tenterhooks as to response......

anyway, at least I am keeping my options open

mily - congrats on date! will await FULL update in due course

Any plans I had for this evening are off. Ex decided at the 11th hour that he isn't having the boys tonight, and (as he well knows) I don't have anyone else I can ask. Am and :(

Sorry Monty/SCL, definitely no chance of me making it for drinks, but hope you have a good time without me :)

Sponge Ex GAH

why do that? What an eejit

Yes, mily some of us need to live vicariously through you (ok, I admit it, I'm lazy!)

Sorry that your ex is such a prick, hate. It's all about making your life as difficult as possible, isn't it?

Janos, no not snotty! I've found you anyway and sent you a friend request, it'll be easier to organise something through FB than in code on here! You're my first 'fit and interesting' FB friend [stalker emoticon]

I am trying to maintain my good humour in the face of my X parking the dds in front of the TV all afternoon...........and poor dd2 has had 2 accidents today (after days with none) because he is not properly helping her work out when she needs the loo

sorry, this is not the thread for this but good grief he is useless
and one of the reasons he gave for leaving me last year was that i was 'not interested' in my children and he thought it would 'do me good' to have to be on my own with them

and he still hasn't come back to me with when we are going to sit down and work out the terms of the divorce
