Kicking this off.

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

Will have a nosy when I'm not at work. Flame will PM you re my username. My profile is rubbish, I know.

I'm at work atm. All this talk about HRT, child benefit has got me feeling like I should aim higher money wise/career wise. It's just so stress free it's boring, however, well paid jobs are hard to come by in my area. Don't want to bring this to this thread but it get's you thinking.

Not sure with LG see what happens from now on.

I'm on POF by the same usernam too eve, don't think I have a photo on there though. Planning to conduct an experiment (when I can be bothered) I have a photo of me with my hair straightened on OKC, so want to find a curly picture to go on PoF.

FairyLightsForever · 07/10/2010 10:50

Oh I lied, same photo on POF as on OKC!

BeauticianNotMagician · 07/10/2010 10:50

Exactly Flame is only back to the future.Now you are thinking too much.Sounds to me like he just wants to see you Grin

Flamesparrow · 07/10/2010 10:59

me? overthinking? ? NEVER! ShockWink Damn the fireworks.

Will do POF look later.

BeauticianNotMagician · 07/10/2010 11:04

Hahahaha I got a text off DG earlier saying 'hey beautiful.Thanks for a good night.Hope you have a good day x'

I'm thinking hmm not as much as he usually writes is something up.See i'm terribleBlush

Flamesparrow · 07/10/2010 11:10

Its so good to know that its not just me :o

I mean, how exactly does "Hey are you busy tonight can I pop round for a cup of tea about 7ish?" sound ominous??

Flamesparrow · 07/10/2010 11:11

(Like the straight vs curls test btw. I should do a profile with norks and one without :o)

BeauticianNotMagician · 07/10/2010 11:27

Gah I wish i just didn't like him so much.These poor men wonder what they would think if they knew they were being analysed on here.My mum and friend are coming over for a wine night tonight so will be more analysing haha.

Just had a look at your mn profile.Goodness those are some outstanding norks Envy
You are very pretty and i don't think you need to show the norks would be intersting though i wonder how different the messages would be.I fear i already know the answer to that Grin

FairyLightsForever · 07/10/2010 12:44

Hmm I think i know the answer too!
I'm Envy I think you got my share of the nork quota FS!

Flamesparrow · 07/10/2010 13:02

i don't think anyone has ever called me pretty before :) You can see why i have chosen non nork photos though!

Trying to fill in "what is the first thing people notice about you" was hard as i know damn well what that is!!!

Flamesparrow · 07/10/2010 13:22

I am just paranoid. He's text to say his sister and kids are away so the house feels too empty and he fancied company. :)

FairyLightsForever · 07/10/2010 14:09

I'm amazed that no one has called you pretty before. Shock

Grin at Carrot just wanting company- bless!

BeauticianNotMagician · 07/10/2010 14:14

So am I Flamesparrow you are gorgeous.

Ahh but Carrot wants to spend that lonely time with you.I wish there were fireworks for you.

hatesponge · 07/10/2010 14:36

Flame, I think its lovely that Carrot wants to spend his alone time with you, says a lot imo :)

What do we think about someone saying 'ah bless him' re something related to DC? Is not a phrase I'm used to men using, though is something I would use myself.

Am overanalysing...I do this as well..for everything Grin

BeauticianNotMagician · 07/10/2010 14:40

Sponge Lots of my friends and DG have said 'ah bless him' when i tell them someting relating to one of the ds's.You are over analysing.I think so much i have given myself a headache today

FairyLightsForever · 07/10/2010 15:14

Sponge, is this WM related? Wink

lou33 · 07/10/2010 15:19

gosh this thread is flying by!

i got out of my sickbed today and drove the papers to court myself, rather than relying on the post

they reckon xmas is pushing it, but maybe new year

fingers crossed he actually carries on with it now

hatesponge · 07/10/2010 15:25

Bnm, I sympathise, I have overthought to the point of headaches many a time. In fact I cant remember a time before I spent hours considering every single thing done or said by a man I liked! Blimey, how sad do I sound?! Blush

and yes fairy, it is WM related, am surprised you even needed to ask Grin

Lou - love that you drove the papers to court. Lets keep our fingers crossed for a good start to 2011!

lou33 · 07/10/2010 15:31

i figured that was i knew they had got there in time and they would be checked over in case i had forgotten to tick anything

BeauticianNotMagician · 07/10/2010 15:56

Sponge Thank you.If you are sad then i am equally so.I can't believe i'm questioning everything already i think i'm still trying to talk myself out of it all.

Lou-Also loving your work re; the divorce papers.I have everything crossed for you that he goes ahead.That will make a great christmas or new year pressie.

aurorastargazer · 07/10/2010 16:28

asbm - yes it is BlushSmile

elasta (((())))) how's your mom today?

mily - fireworks GrinGrinGrinGrin yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!

sponge and beaut - i am also guilty of overthinking and overanalysing Sad and he's still sticking around - just said that if i need to talk about anything to just ask him and he will answer me Shock i think for all of us it comes from having being treated so badly in the past, that when we are treated properly, we're not used to it.

lou - yaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!

aurorastargazer · 07/10/2010 16:31

am p'd off now - am supposed to be giong out with dock green tomorrow evening and the babysitter has sent me a message thru facebook - even tho she has my number, saying that she can't make it!! this was two days ago as well.Sad she's so unreliable, am having to wrack my brains trying to think who else i can ask at such short notice. bugger bugger bugger

mummyilubyou · 07/10/2010 18:37

Hey Aurora, Angry re babysitter, what a pita

You are spot on with the observation abouthaving been treated badly in the past meaning it's hard to let someone in who wants to treat you well

RAF did and said a ton of tiny things last night that were considerate, thoughtful etc and I kept being floored and responding clumsily

Fireworks when he held my face in his lovely, warm hands, smiled and then kissed me Blush

I had that thing where my knees literally went weak and I had to lean against him to stop myself falling over Grin.

I have been floating around like a total airhead today

kdk · 07/10/2010 18:53

Oh dear god, they do keep coming:

"Looking at your lovely picture,I love everything that creates you,from your hair to your forehead looking deep into your eyes to your nose and from your lips to your chin.If I ever figure out the magic that makes you so special here, I'd probably say that it's a combination of all these things that i see I love everything that creates you.I am willing to start up a conversation with you.Here is my address: coleterry32 at yahoo dot com Feel free to ask me any question. "

You've got to hand it to the guy - he loves me and he's willing to start a conversation - suppose I'm lucky he's not willing to start a family!
