Kicking this off.

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

OP posts:
mummyilubyou · 04/10/2010 16:48

hey Elasta, hope your weekend ok

I just can't believe RAF is going to be good-looking/genuinely (rather than smarmily) charming/nice-smelling/tall/intelligent/funny/good company etc etc etc enough to match that comment to me......

I have this awful feeling I am just not going to fancy him even a tiny little bit

Flamesparrow · 04/10/2010 16:52

Beaut has managed it! You can too :o

Oh, and there was nothing wrong with Carrot either so we can use him as an example - perfectly attractive etc

Flamesparrow · 04/10/2010 16:55

Oh and sponge - having been to Croydon at night, I don't blame him :o

hatesponge · 04/10/2010 16:58

flame - I know how bad it is just from working here Grin problem is everywhere else is miles for either/both of us to travel....

Flamesparrow · 04/10/2010 17:00

You're gonna have to go very middle ground for this time, and then take turns. :o

BeauticianNotMagician · 04/10/2010 17:20

Hi all.

Thank you for all your kind words regarding my weekend.So glad it went well.Is it a good thing that i feel like i've known DG for ages.

I made a bad error this morning we overslept and the boys saw him as he was by the front door about to leave so we made out he was just coming in.They were jumping all over him and when he left they asked loads of questions mummy is that your boyfriend(they don't actually know what it means),mummy is he coming to our party and mummy is he coming back again.I distracted them with a pillow fight Blush

Flame -I think you should meet ManA i don't think it is messing him around at all as its only a date.I thought that was the whole point of dating.You have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince.

Lilac-more info about this email please and glad you enjoyed Paris.

Lou-Ahh at Dp that is soo sweet.

Monty-Hope your toothache is better.

Mily-good luck for tonight.

Sorry to anyone i have missed out.

Flamesparrow · 04/10/2010 17:29

Oops! How was he about being caught?

I like your ManA advice :o (really should give the bloke a new name). He sent me a message saying women on there are nuts and that he was de-reging, and added me to fb instead.

I may have scared the pirate man. If he scares that easy it is for the best Wink

BeauticianNotMagician · 04/10/2010 17:37

Flame-I know mega oops.He was fine actually and thought the boys were really sweet and cute.Thank goodness we were by the door though.

How did you scare the pirate?Do tell.ManA is just a date it's not like you are asking him to meet you up the aisleGrin.If you don't like him when you meet well hey at least you tried and can be nice just to meet new people sometimes and get out of the everyday routine.

BeauticianNotMagician · 04/10/2010 18:22

Sponge-Sorry can't believe missed you out.Go for it with WM am sure you are desperate to know if you are wasting your time now or not.Maybe just suggest a night out for a few drinks and decide the details together.

Mily-If it helps from his pic and after a few too nice texts i really wasn't sure on meeting DG but i fancied him the minute i saw him in the flesh.

mummyilubyou · 04/10/2010 18:22

Flame, try RAF's line on him and see how he responds Wink - you could scare him off too Grin

Flamesparrow · 04/10/2010 18:26

Shock A few random one liners about hats and fancy dress and he is inviting himself round for wine?!!? A smidge forwards methinks.

mummyilubyou · 04/10/2010 18:26

BNM, X-post

yes, that does help, tx

better hit the shower or I may be responsible for a thread on Dadsnet about dating women no-nos......

BeauticianNotMagician · 04/10/2010 18:32

Flame-I think i would leave it at then with pirate as that would make me very uneasy.

Mily-Lol at Dadsnet thread.Can't wait until you report back.

Flamesparrow · 04/10/2010 18:56

Yup!

lilac21 · 04/10/2010 19:29

Update on the interesting email (thanks for keeping up, bnm!)

This guy who is new to Lovestruck mailed me on Friday night, said he had upgraded from free mainly to get in touch with me after I winked at him. V long message, v open about his busy life and that he is not looking for a full-on commitment type relationship (I'm not divorced yet or close to it anyway).

He suggested that we talk on the phone this evening. I replied on the site, said I was free on Thursday and Friday evenings and some Saturdays and did that sound workable, as I can't bear to be way down the list and only see someone every three weeks or so. I know that he won't see that message til tomorrow as he'd told me that, but I decided to go with the phone call and sent him a text at 6 to say although I had replied on the site, I would like to talk this evening. He hasn't replied so far.

I really like the look of him and appreciate his honesty. I have to keep any relationship secret from my kids so I don't want to meet someone who wants to play happy families. Will let you know what happens!

I am still chatting to two others though, although the Yank is starting to creep me out a bit. He is back in London tomorrow but I think I prefer him in Dubai...

On top of this married male friend is coming on to me Shock Now I know he really is desperately unhappy at home, I knew that 18 months ago because we had v frank conversations and I do fancy him but I am NOT going to do anything about it.

BeauticianNotMagician · 04/10/2010 19:39

Lilac Ah email sounds lovely.Great sign that he has been so honest and open from the start too.Keep us updated.I'm sure he will call.

Lmao at prefering the yank in DubaiGrin

Gosh and a married man too.You are in demand.

lou33 · 04/10/2010 20:05

tell the married one that if he gives you his wife's number, and she says it is ok to see him then you will get back to him

worked for me

what a tosser

lilac21 · 04/10/2010 20:12

He is less of a tosser than the kiwi toyboy Grin Wonder if he would take that as a compliment...

Flamesparrow · 04/10/2010 20:15

Love that system Lou!

lou33 · 04/10/2010 21:29

i really did have to use that , few years ago now

he left me alone afterwards funnily enough

lilac21 · 04/10/2010 21:56

yippee, new Lovestruck guy has responded to my text and we're going to talk later. Now he needs a name, in true where-have-all-the-fit-interesting-and available-men-gone fashion... he is really into Argentine tango, so I think it will be 'dancer' otherwise I shall think of the big fat orange blob on the Tango adverts of several years back Grin

BeauticianNotMagician · 04/10/2010 22:00

I seriously need to give DG a decent nickname hmmm he is a great cook so maybe The Chef???

Lilac-Ooh is exciting.Do you get a good feeling about him so far.

Wonder how Mily is getting on.I'm so nosy and very impatient lol

Flamesparrow · 04/10/2010 22:19

But DG just IS DG.

ManA is henceforth renamed Rubiks.

Yay for the dancer

Monty100 · 04/10/2010 22:22

Evening All - well, its all happening here!

BeauticianNotMagician · 04/10/2010 22:28

Ok DG he remains then lol.I just got a lovely text 'I'm so so happy with you'Grin

Monty-Oh no hope the antibiotics don't take too long to kick in.I too hate the dentist.
