Kicking this off.

Hi BeautnotMag, 3rd date sounding promising and can see you are keeping your options open.

BeauticianNotMagician · 23/09/2010 21:41

Hi abouteve.Yes i wasn't going to bother with the date tomorrow but we spoke on the phone and got on so well.The 3rd date guy is great probably the perfect man personality wise i'm just not sure i fancy him.That sounds so mean Blush

lou33 · 23/09/2010 21:43

Place marking and trying to calm down.

Dp thinks exh is a freak btw. He laughed as well at how sad it all is

BeauticianNotMagician · 23/09/2010 21:52

Lou have been reading back through the thread and just wanted to say i know how you must feel.My exp also weirds me out.We split 3 and a half years ago and he has a gf.I just wish he would pay the children as much attention as he does me Sad

Beaut, sorry to shorten it your name is long, it's not mean not to fancy someone, he might be a grower or the next one might be more your cup of tea. It's very hit and miss this internet dating lark. I've had a few dates with men I didn't fancy.

BeauticianNotMagician · 23/09/2010 22:01

Haha abouteve most on here shorten it to Bnm Smile

The 3rd date guy is just very intense and i think he would be upset if knew i was going on a date with someone else.To be honest its been so long since any man has so much as looked my way that im enjoying the attention

gosh new thread!!! Hi All, big wave and thanks for all your wishes.

Have been studiously ignoring my internet profiles and somehow have managed to pick up 3 men who seem interested and have e amiled me???!!! How wierd is that?

Cant say I'm in the market for it right now but it has at least made me feel that at sometime in the future, there is someone, somewhere, who might be interested in me.

Good luck with your dates - am lurking here and watching with interest Smile

Yes that's the one. The date went well, I thought, but we are not rushing into anything, both got busy lives etc. Just realised I haven't looked on dating site for ages. I haven't had any messages but tend to get a few if I log on.

Look forward to hearing how you get on Saturday night.

Hello.

I was told to come over here.

So here I am!

Have just signed up to dating site again. Bloody hate this malarky! But kind of secretly like it too Wink

lilac21 · 23/09/2010 23:59

Hi all

I've been in (multiple) daily contact with the Kiwi toyboy and I have cancelled my original Saturday night plans to spend some time with him - it is my only free evening until Oct 3rd Shock

Welcome, lastorders, I'm a relatively new arrival here myself but I am definitely enjoying internet dating so far!

lou33 · 24/09/2010 09:41

Hello to new posters.

Apparently the exh thinks it is me who is warped not him

And he cant be expected to pay for the kids because he is saving up to go to Thailand and trying to get them over here

. . . . . .

mummyilubyou · 24/09/2010 10:14

Lou Hmm

hey lastorders - think you said you are SWK, have to say that one has driven me mad with all the icebreakers Angry, I have found GSM better. But then again, not as successful as Eve and Elasta Grin

Lilac, sounds like we will both need to report back re Saturday night.....

I have got the electrician here picking up all the unsafe bits and bobs the DIY freaks who used to own this house left me with. 3 years I have been living with seriously unsafe electics Shock Angry

still, at least it is getting sorted now

elastamum · 24/09/2010 10:29

Hi all, am at home today as well, packing to go to mums. will be expecting a dating update though to cheer me up!!

Not sure about being successful at dating though, have had quite a few dates but seem to have spent the past few months dating some seriously flaky men.

Heard nothing from sailor for at least a week, so last night sent him rather a (hopefully) witty e mail suggesting what he might do with the rest of his life!! Was going to ignore him and then thought WTF, he might as well know what I think Grin

BeauticianNotMagician · 24/09/2010 10:41

Ooh lots of dates happening.I don't know why but i'm so nervous about my date tonight.Probably because he looks rather yummy in his picture.

mummyilubyou · 24/09/2010 11:19

Elasta, will see if I can entertain you Grin

hatesponge · 24/09/2010 11:34

hello to new people..and yes lots of dating going on. Hope everyone has a good weekend...esp MILY Grin

well I have some news - finally - am going for a drink with WM next week!! Grin

am not sure it's a proper date really - he probably doesnt think it is anyway - but am still rather excited Grin Blush

mummyilubyou · 24/09/2010 11:41

Sponge

woooooohooooooo Grin

BeauticianNotMagician · 24/09/2010 11:46

Mily have read back through last thread.Ducking a kiss is just the kind of thing i would do.But I see GMM is cooking for you this weekend so things are going well.

Sponge have read all about WM too.So pleased for you.Hope it goes really well Grin

mummyilubyou · 24/09/2010 11:47

Beaut, fortunately didn't duck last Sunday Wink

hatesponge · 24/09/2010 12:07

thanks... its really not a date and am sure there will be no kisses to duck! but it's a start at least. and at least it confirms he's happy to spend time with me :)

sincitylover · 24/09/2010 12:29

Another one at home - took a day off sick as feeling completely drained (possibly due to heavy period) and also upset. Its ds1birthday today and we ended up having an argument this morning before school cue more door slamming and me sobbing. It doesn't take much to trigger him off - I honestly don't think I was at fault but he clearly thinks so. I am so worn out by it all and just hope it will pass as he gets older (he is 14). It s usual to have one or two arguments per day but this was a corker. Sad

Sponge - sounds promising. Slow burn.

Lou - that is seriously weird. Hope your cold better.

Eve - third date

hello to all new posters welcome on board

I just sent a text to exh in error saying 'def need a tension release :) xxx ' OMG he will know its not for him as I NEVER put kisses on the end of texts to him

I also once sent one to him saying I have just had a row with exh - aargh

Hoping taking today off and the weekend will feel better by next week

I'm at home too. Took a day's leave and had a lazy morning in bed. Could do with a laze this afternoon but Dsis has called round insisting we go out for coffee.

SCL, It will pass. I always feel terrible when me and DD have a blow up, I just sit her down afterward to ask if anything is bothering her. Grin

Sponge, seriously excited for you. How did it come about and why isn't it a date? Sounds like one to me.

Hi to Last Orders and everyone else.

Haven't arranged another date yet!
