Kicking this off.

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

OP posts:
BeauticianNotMagician · 14/10/2010 22:47

Strawb Ahh just leave things as they are but only if you are happy if at anytime things with Carrot get too difficult and it's getting you down then you are going to have to have a chat.

Welcome Parrot.I was on Single With Kids,Guardian and eharmony sites.I went on two dates with a guy from SWK.Then i went on a date with DG from eharmony and we have been dating for a couple of weeks if you read back you will see things have moved fast for us but i really,really like him Blush.

I don't have that much help in the way of babysitters.Only my mum who will help if i'm absolutely desperate and Exp has the ds's now and again but never overnight at the weekend as he doesn't want me to meet someone.

I did however,find a wonderful childminder who has the boys at her house overnight.It costs me £50.I think you will find time slots if it's someone worth finding the time for and wouldn't worry too much at this stage.I still worry a bit but then i figure that he has known i have children from the start and if he is worth it he will understand that sometimes i can't just drop everthing.

BeauticianNotMagician · 14/10/2010 22:50

Sorry Parrot after all that forgot to ask about your date.

Strawb I would go for a drink think you deserve a night out.

PumpkinLightsForHalloween · 14/10/2010 23:25

I really should be in bed,it's late and we're heading off to my parents for a week, tomorrow, for a well earned holiday. Yay!

Have a good week everyone x

kdk · 15/10/2010 08:25

pumpkin - be very careful with guys claiming to be from the States - see this.

I have to say I ignore 99% of the messages I get, 0.5 of the rest I wish I had and the other .5 occasionally lead to a meet although no romance as yet. I am very very picky - and have no overnight babysitter!

mummyilubyou · 15/10/2010 08:39

Morning all.....

Dinner out with RAF last night, lovely village pub a few miles away. Can't actually recall what I ate but the company was great Smile
He is growing on me so fast it scares me. We were talking last night about our hopes for the future and he said 'of course, one hope I have is a future with you'
I couldn't wipe the silly grin off my face Grin
I know we have only known each other a very short time but I can't get over how right it all feels.....

Lilac, hope you get the news today

Flame Confused

PumpkinLightsForHalloween · 15/10/2010 08:57

I'm the same kdk! Most people I ignore, but the "I'm from the States' really wouldn't work on me because I discount them immediately on the basis that I'm only interested in people I can go for a drink with.

It makes me feel really sad that people get sucked in by these a-holes, anyone asking me for money would get laughed at and a swift "goodbye"!

I'm the same as you, I'm very picky as overnight babysitting is difficult (plus I'd actually have to shave my legs Grin)

T'is FLF in Halloween costume, in case anyone didn't recognise me

PumpkinLightsForHalloween · 15/10/2010 09:02

Wow, it's starting to look like the ladies on this thread will need to go hat shopping...!

StrawberryFruitBat · 15/10/2010 09:40

gotta want a man who is "willing " to get in touch with you Shock.

Have text physicist and arranged 7pm at beach front bar/cafe place.

Feel like i am cheating on carrot Blush

Next seeing him for our normal Sunday night. he's said he has Monday off so won't need to go home early. ..

mummyilubyourtoffeeapples · 15/10/2010 09:56

FLF, taking inspiration from you, hence seasonal nickname

am not getting much work done, what with Jamie MN webchat and emailing RAF....

mummyilubyourtoffeeapples · 15/10/2010 10:11

Strawb, I wish I knew what to say.....you are so gorgeous it is inevitable they will be queuing up for you and Carrot can't think you will sit at home waiting for him to make up his mind....imho

StrawberryFruitBat · 15/10/2010 11:40

Aww thank you.

I am single until anything happens to change that so i am well within my rights to see anyone i want. i will be honest if he asks about my Saturday.

The physicist knows I am just looking for fun and random dates.

StrawberryFruitBat · 15/10/2010 11:41

oh and really pleased things are going so well with RAF

hatesponge · 15/10/2010 13:17

strawberry, have fun on saturday. and agree you are free to see whoever you want - if Carrot doesnt like it he will have to hurry up and make his mind up Grin

mily - all sounds v good re RAF :)

am fed up at work. Put a huge amount of effort into something yesterday and gave up 3 hours of my own time, all for one of my colleagues (for which read total tosser) to steal all the credit for it Hmm My team are all fuming!

and WM has been referred for a (potentially) major op, so feeling a bit :( for him as well.

hatesponge · 15/10/2010 13:22

my friend at work who I bore with the saga of WM on an even more regular basis than you lot suggests I text him along the lines of what rubbish news that is re his op, that I hope he's okay, and does he fancy coming out for a drink at the weekend, on me.

I don't know though.

Why cant I bring myself to ask him?

Probably because I think he will say no :( And I will look stupid Blush

mummyilubyourtoffeeapples · 15/10/2010 13:59

sponge, do it my love, do it, what have you got to lose????

ok, report back in 10 mins when you have do it Grin

mummyilubyourtoffeeapples · 15/10/2010 14:00

*done

mummyilubyourtoffeeapples · 15/10/2010 14:01

little dance round the office - XH has given me signed divorce docs today Grin

and where a few weeks ago that would have left me in tears about the bleakness of it, I am sitting here with a big smile on my face

StrawberryFruitBat · 15/10/2010 14:15

Wot MILY said Sponge

Woohoo MILY!

oh my f*cking god ...

"Life is too short and loneliness in the heart makes one incomplete,from the heart Finding our patner is a reality in life which i believe in but meeting the real woman on Earth is a reality of life I feel like I've met somebody I can stand still with for a minute which is you due to your profile which i found so adorable,intresting,sweet and wonderful, and don't you want to stand still with me because i believe no distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other's worth with the Gods understanding..I always dreamed of finding someone really special who would come into my life and love me, someone who would understand me, encourage my efforts, and share my dreams Together Lets say the truth to the heart because the Lord tells Us to do so,Life sometimes without a loved one is so Boring when loneliness is in heart but all know that God Loves Us and i beleive Passion is a real word from the heart that help the path of love and i belive so much in it because it involves so many feelings! I enjoys laughter and smiles on a woman because thats the best make up she can ever put one that make her beautiful from the heart,you Know Strangers are just family we have yet to get to know but in due time Though my words are few but I know my heart is true and i will like to know yours also in due time,I want to dig deeper to get and find the real woman and friend in you which I know time tells.I await your quick note to make me happy and smile once again. with your Private email, until i Hear from you
Kevin "

That's it, I give up - just too many frootloops for me!

mummyilubyourtoffeeapples · 15/10/2010 14:24

KDK oh ffs!!!

BlackFLAMECandle · 15/10/2010 14:25

How do you do it?!?!

mummyilubyourtoffeeapples · 15/10/2010 14:30
