Where have all the fit, interesting and available men gone (part 25)

[Remotew]

Kicking this off.

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

There are two schools of thought here. One is keep potential partners away from the kids until you know where it is going. the other is to introduce them casually early on as a friend as if they dont gel with your kids they have no future with you anyway. Not sure on this one.

Traveller, who I wnt out with a few times wanted to take my kids climbing, but I put him off as he didnt seem all that keen on me!! I'm sure he would have taken us anyway and they would have had a geat time but I didnt fancy all the questions as to who was that. Kids have a great radar for adult relationships.

Having kissed a few more frogs since I have decided no one gets to meet the kids until I feel absolutely certain I know where it is all going. Have just returned from climbing with the boys. We seem to be able to have a good time on our own

Evening all

Came across this gem of a specimen today - if anyone wants to share their views, I'm happy to pass on his PoF username.

"I think life is just too short not to take a few risks to find happiness . I have made some poor decisions in the past and despite being a very sensual person I presently find myself temporarily trapped in a totally non-physical and unsuitable union due to having a child ."

I'd LOVE to know what his partner/wife/mother of his child thinks about his views .... twunt!

Oh, and btw am very at all the luved-upness that's going on atm!

My DD met a few of my boyfriends in the past, it was unavoidable. We went away for weekends with one or two, on holidays etc. One was long distance and I used to drive over at the weekend, trolly case and DD loaded in the car. She didn't have a hands on dad though. She hasn't been damaged by it, at least I don't think she has .

It was as she got older that she wasn't quite so accepting. She didn't like our cosy little space invaded. I'm sure if one of them had been Mr Right she would have been fine with it at a younger age. Teens can be tricky, especially if they are the stay at home type.

Have to say it's something I've thought a lot about as unless I bring someone back to mine, I'm never likely to have a physical relationship as I don't get nights away BUT I would have to feel the relationship was going somewhere/the guy was worth it, before I risked him being round my kids. Fortunately the situation hasn't arisen - or at least not lately. Mind you, I sometimes wonder if one of the reasons I'm so meh about most men I come across is because it saves me having to confront the issue!

ooh i must have him now!

I was trying not to mention being .

Still on my not contacting him thing, and still he texts. Wonder what tomorrow night will be like...

The ds's haven't been introduced to any men since i left Exp.To be honest i want to know for myself as well as to how well/or not DG will get on with them.It will make me clear as to whether he is a keeper or not.I'm not too worried as i know the boys won't understand fully as they are too young.If it all goes wrong and the boys struggle then i'll just be more careful in the future.I do have many female friends that already spend time with us as well as a few male ones.

I am at present sitting here with sudocrem on my chin due to a lovely rash from DGs goatee.

Kdk That's awful.I couldn't stand POF to be honest well i was on SWK but it is linked to POF as well as various other sites.I got constant messages similar to that one as well as some truly disgusting ones.

Nice bloke on okc. ... i'm married, bored and looking to spice things up a bit

I find SWK a complete waste of time - got a message there today from some nonentity saying "Hi,

New to this site so thought I would try the new technology called the "Icebreaker"... No idea who this is going to, but in for a penny etc.

Anyway be good to hear from you."

Am trying to contain my excitement and stop myself from replying! I do so love the personal touch.

Kdk I hated those icebreakers.I would usually get at least 10 of the stupid things a day.I did however, go on two dates with a guy from that site.

I may be going on a date with someone off dfp when I get back from holibobs. Offered him a daytime date next week but he told me his powers of seduction worked better at night ... am a bit but willing to shelf my suspicions for one night - am also exchanging messages with a bit of an Essex boy but not sure how that will pan out ... or if for that matter.

@ seduction man.

Physicist has asked what i am looking for from the site. Was restrained and didn't say "a sex life" or "a rebound bloke for the rebound bloke"

I hate it when people ask that - a bloke asked me the other day what I considered an ideal relationship - whatever i answered obviously didn't match what he was looking for because he hasn't got back to me!

Oh - and meant to say bnm - I remember once, long time ago, getting stubble rash so badly I got impetigo! Just thought I'd share that ....

stubble rash sounds scary!!

Physicist wants to meet :) and a bit eek

have been brave and said i think i am child free from mid afternoon Saturday.

Kdk Thanks for sharing that i just googled it and aarghh.I hope not i'm going to scrub the area clean before i go to bed.

Strawberry Well done you.No point hanging on for that useless Carrot.

I also have a potential date lined up! Can't see him for at least 10 days though cos we're away for half term...
Unfortunately he's an inch shorter than me, but I'm working on the basis that it's been nearly a year since I last went on a date, and he makes me laugh, so it will at least be practice

lol what's an inch between friends?

Why do i feel more like i am betraying carrot than i did about XH when i met carrot??

Bloody mad dwarf.

bnm, i had that problem with dp at the start, it was so bad i had a rather large and unattractive scab on my chin for about a week

the kids were having none of my excuses

Oh I don't like facial hair... it tickles at first and then hurts later. X has grown a full beard it actually kind of suits him, but I don't have to get anywhere near it, so it's fine!

i like it, i tell him off when he gets rid of it

So you have all convinced me that my anti-facial-hair stance was the right one to adopt...

Still up, just finishing off some resources for a demo lesson I have to teach as part of a job interview tomorrow...yikes.

I was getting stressed earlier and got a text from nameless guy to wish me luck and say he's looking forward to seeing me on Friday with a :) and a x so now I am feeling much more

There's no way my DDs are going to meet him or anyone else in the near future, they are not coping with their dad having a girlfriend and flatly refuse to meet her. Last thing they need is me adding to their stress.

I just need to get through tomorrow morning, then I can concentrate on looking forward to Friday evening :)
