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

[Remotew]

Hello!

I love leamington! we live about 45 mins north of there just into Derbyshire not far from ashby

Lol @ dinner in a mug. I seem to eat a lot of curry lately. no idea why (not takeaway).

Like the sound of the Canadian.

Woohoo for the prof finally replying :o

I like the suggestions so far, but want somewhere closer to home ideally as it is evening and I fancy the idea of us being able to drink if we want to this time (last time we deliberately chose a pub that needed us both to drive to so we were sober).

I was all excited and decided on ice skating followed by a meal - then discovered the summer ice rink closes on Tuesday :(. So we're back to either comedy, or torch and whip.

I will be taking a torch and whip regardless just for comedy value :o

Not far from Leam S!

fs you are overthinking it
nice pub, whip if you insist, and make your own entertainment

Overthinking is the story of my life :o

Invite him to yours for a game of twister

Ohh, just been on the phone for an hour with canadien, sounds really nice, but a bit worn down by his divorce!?

He is going to take me out for dinner on Friday - apparently I have been vetted online and passed by his daughter who put him on MSF I just have to come up with a venue. He suggested picking me up from home - but I think not - at least not on a first date!

Morning leamington lovers (elasat, my Dsis is in Melbourne which can't be far from you?) Maybe we need a midlands get together someday

Elasta, am liking the sound of canadian, although think you are right about getting to first date under your own steam, but fun to choose a nice venue

Any news from Sailor?

Hi Mily,

We are about 5 miles from melbourne.

Got a txt from sailor last night, he had been out on his board, was asking after me and the dog! so all good there

Hi everyone - I am just waiting for my dcs to get back from their holiday.

Have really missed them but also had great fun while they have been away.

Elasta - does Canadian sound a bit full of baggage - how long has he been separated?

SCL - sorry no show on Friday, had stuff going on. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself though and have recovered well. Glad you ds are back too.

Lou - what can I say about your exh apart from thank god for dp.

Had a laptop crash and have borrowed one which I can't use very well. Need to go out with dd will be back later.

Al has finally decided he wants to talk and I'm seeing his this evening.

Waves at everyone

no worries Monty - sorry to hear hope it gets resolved in the way you want it

DSs are back - they enjoyed some of it I think.

My friend has broken up with her bf - the one I posted about some time ago who said 'you'll never find anyone who will treat you as good as I do' surely if you feel the need to say that then you are almost trying to convince yourself - methinks people who say that are deeply insecure or do you think they really believe their 'publicity'?

(exbf has been known to say to me 'you won't get another bf as long as I am in the background' Similar type of comment imo)

good luck monty

Morning all, Beautiful day here, just had txt from sailor while I was out mucking out my horse. At least i know I am still on his mind, has made my morning!

Morning elasta, at mucking out, what have you got?

at text from Sailor

for me - no call from Prof so sent him a note last night saying 'oy, what you doing?', thinking nothing to lose as if he is a game player I need to find out as am not up for that at all. He may be a player but I got a lovely note back saying really sorry but having awful time with XW and access to dcs so just not in the right frame of mind for flirty phone calls (emails have been pretty flirty). So, still hopeful there as he sounds so lovely and is v v fit

anyway, hope everyone ok, especially Monty

Hi. The bf wants to keep chickens. . . . . . In my garden. Yes or no? I am turning into a cross between the good life and the waltons!

lou they are OK as long as you have a secure run for them
otherwise they eat your plants and crap everywhere
if you can give them their own space they are great (big escape artists)

oh and max one rooster or they fight
when you clip their wings clip one side only that way they get confused and can't fly

Can we just have hens? Is the outlay to get started expensive? Are they expensive long term? Are they smelly/loud?

He has been calling today trying to convince me again!

morning all hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine

scl - sorry I didnt make friday, but glad to hear you had a good time. we will have to try and arrange drinks for another time when we are all available :)

monty - is all ok following talk with Al?

all the dating stuff sounds positive am hoping some of this might rub off on me WM spent a fair bit of saturday texting me, just random stuff really. Still have no idea what's going on, if anything As one of my RL friends said, he must have loads of other friends to text other than me. and its not as if I know him that well anyway. but then also trying not to get my hopes up, because in my experience that usually ends in disappointment :)

Hi All!

MILY I have a 1/2 hanovarian TB/ID cross, about 16.2 and a real sweetie. Have just started getting her in at night as it has just turned cold. she is lovely, just as well as muckingout at 6am in winter is not fun at all!!

Hang in there with the prof - you never know - but I would genetate a few options elsewhere at the same time just to keep your interest up

Sponge - I'm sure WM is interested, otherwise he wouldnt bother texting you, must be really frustrating

Waves to everyone else

Elasta, oh x100 - I need to engineer a visit to you next time I am at my dsis

I have a date on Thurs with Green Man man which I am looking forward to, he seems like a really nice bloke, but I have to say not the same chemistry in the comms so far - whih is why I wanted to meet f2f as voice/body language can mke a big difference.

Have teased prof that I need to hear his voice as he is gorgeous looking but if he sounds ungorgeous then I'll go right off him

GMM has no dcs and lives nearer to me so could be a whole lot less complicated dating him. Prof has 2dcs very similar ages to mine but obv some kind of issue with access, which sounds complicated, but then again we might understand each other better, both being parents iyswim

sorry Lou, no idea re hens, think you can have them with no rooster

Sponge, how long has it been going on with WM and has he ever explicitly said or done anything to give you a clearer idea? I am a fine one to talk as am so inexperienced with this stuff but maybe you need to call him out and ask him directly? Or maybe be a bit less responsive to his texts and see if he ups his game?

mily - agree with you that voice/mannerisms etc can make a huge difference. Also have found men look different than their photos (not always in a bad way, but of course a photo is only a 2d representation) so I think you can only know for sure if the spark is there by meeting :)

The WM saga has been going on for a couple of months....since we met at wedding we've been in contact cos I'm helping him with some stuff, and also he is doing work at mine. Once the work is finished - and assuming there's nothing clearly negative been said by then - I will ask him. But if it's a no, I don't want to make it awkward between us while he's still working for me iyswim. Having said that I think that the work boundaries are slightly blurred already. but I'm just not sure. We do get on really well, but it's not at all flirty (but then I'm incapable of flirting, and he doesn't strike me as much of one either!). it's like we're mates, but sort of not at the same time.
