Kicking this off.

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

Flamesparrow · 05/10/2010 13:00

right ok.... Sponge is pissing about not making a date Wink

Beaut had a fab weekend with dg but was caught by kids in morning as he was leaving.

MILY had a good date with RAF who may be a grower.

Lilac had a two hour call with the dancer

Things seem good with elasta and Dr

Lou"s dp would marry her if she wanted.

Me and carrot are down to friends having decided everything is there apart from the fireworks and butterflies. I am now talking to rubiks who was ManA and a pirate.

Sorry to everyone I've left out!

Hi everyone - this is a very long thread and I don't know how possible it is to just join in? I was wondering if anyone could tell me what to wear on a coffee morning date as I haven't a clue! Are jeans too slopy for a first date even if it is at 11 am in a train station cafe?

Remotew · 05/10/2010 16:44

Not at all, Jeans are ok except to wear to a fancy restaurant imo.

Flame-Grin Maybe you should call the body bulider get it out of your system it may give you a clear head to think more on Carrot.

Lilac-Gosh two hours on the phone.Very promising.I know i usually struggle with that first phone call so that sounds great.

Happy-Look forward to reading all your email/dating stories.Welcome.

Aurora-Good news on dock green Smile

Hannispan-Hi i think jeans are fine but i would go for the smarter looking darker jean but that's more to do with my own style/prefence rather than whether suitable or not.I wore jeans at the weekend on a date as we went bowling.

BeauticianNotMagician · 05/10/2010 17:23

Ladies i have a dilemma with DG i'm getting cold feet.I had an arguement with exp today and he has said he won't be seeing the boys for a while.I just didn't realise how hard dating would be i'm seriously lacking in the babysitter department.I don't think i will ever be able to maintain a relationship i mean in the early days no one wants to sit in with the kids everynight.

Am i over reacting.I am very hormonal and feeling really down today.Ds1 had a bad day at school and his autism seems to be getting worse at the moment.I just think maybe i would be better off calling it a day now with DG save putting off the inevitable.

Flamesparrow · 05/10/2010 17:44

NO!

I refuse to let you stop this based on what may or may not happen in the future! If he likes you, he likes you life and all - and just being with you will be what matters, not how often you leave the house.

Going to hold off BB for a little longer. I am able to go get my piercing now that DD2 has stopped feeding though (not that that is relevant to BB).

Old friend coming to visit in a week....

Flamesparrow · 05/10/2010 17:45

Oh and yes to jeans.

(And no to thinking more about Carrot. I am doing that too bloody much atm. I could live without fireworks I have decided - the rest is good. I still smile when I get a text. Just need him to think that too Hmm)

BeauticianNotMagician · 05/10/2010 17:54

Flame I'm just having a really bad day have cried for most of itSad
Exp was violent,abusive and manipulative he still knows how to make me feel rubbish about myself.

DG hasn't text me as much today either and i know that the constant texts can't last forever but it just makes me worry.You know none of this would be an issue if i didn't really like him.I think i'm just trying to make excuses.

A piercing where exactly ?Grin

Flamesparrow · 05/10/2010 18:16

oh sweetheart :( He's prob just had a busy day.

Left nipple Blush

Remotew · 05/10/2010 18:26

Fs, a piercing is symbolic, so new piercing means you want to mark the start of a new chapter. I usually got a new hair do and did the divorce diet. Grin

Beaut, just stop it. It will be a test of whether he is a keeper if you come across a babysitting obstacle.

BeauticianNotMagician · 05/10/2010 18:27

I know must stop being silly.

Ooh does it not really hurt?I had my belly button done before ds's were born but no way do i want to draw attention to my tummy these days.

BeauticianNotMagician · 05/10/2010 18:31

You haven't been around as much eve anything happening with you?

Flamesparrow · 05/10/2010 18:34

I've wanted it done for years, but wanted to be done breasyfeeding babies first. It'll hurt but i am well ard me.

Friend has a piercer mate who says she'll do it free as a New life gift

Remotew · 05/10/2010 18:56

No nothing happening men wise. Been emailing a younger guy, but he lives a bit away and I just cannot be bothered with it all, since the one who is moving down the road did a disappearing act, what's the point?

Going out again this Saturday night, about all I can muster up the energy for.

lilac21 · 05/10/2010 19:18

Hi all,

flame - ouch! rather you than me

bnm - don't ditch DG, you'll find a way

hannispan - welcome and another thumbs up to jeans from me too. I bet your date will be wearing them!

I have had a few messages from dancer, mainly because we are revising Sunday's plans due to engineering work on the Piccadilly Line - he lives at one end and me at the other!

Also chatting/texting another guy who was a bit hot and cold at first, but seems more interested now. I am ignoring Yank, who doesn't ever ask me anything about myself, in favour of this other one who now needs a name too....umm....

Ignoring married guy, who isn't anything to do with this dating lark, there are three of them in the running at the moment Grin. I am hoping to arrange to meet one of the others on Saturday night, and I am working on it.

Flamesparrow · 05/10/2010 19:32

Anyone know what the "most attracted" button is on POF?

VERY hot guy on there... does that mean he has clicked me a few times or something? He is way out of my league and I have no idea what I would say in a message Blush

BeauticianNotMagician · 05/10/2010 19:32

DG just text me asking if i'm having a good day and if i have plans for the 17th and 18th of december??My response to that text has been to sit here crying for half an hour.Definitely hormonal i'm such an idiot Blush

Flamesparrow · 05/10/2010 19:55

awwww

booyhoo · 05/10/2010 19:57

hello everyone, i ama lurker here but i jsut wanted opinions on this.

i have eben on match for about 6/7 weeks now and have been chatting to couple of men. one of the men has asked me to meet him a couple of times. the first time it didn't really suit so he left it up to me to let him know when i was free. that was a few weeks ago and he has now asked me again. i am free but i haven't replied yet. i don't know why. has anyone else felt like this? i can't put my finger on why i haven't replied to him yet.
