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.

Mily and Scl goodness hope you are both ok.

Help me ladies.Just got off the phone to DG to confirm for saturday.I decided i really should get over my shyness and just go for it.However,he just told me that he told his brother about me and his brother told the rest of his family and now his brother,dad and sister are going to be there on saturday.He has also booked us a hotel.Is this all moving to fast?I really didn't know what to say to him.I will be a bag of nerves on the day.

oh the bastard lilac. I stand by my usual mass generalization: Men Suck.

MILY hope you're feeling better.

Lilac, BNM , for different reasons

Lilac, he's an arse

BNM, depends how much you like him, could be fun going with the flow , but the family thing is a lot of pressure, can you chat it over with him?

Ta Flame, am better now the cramps have gone (gotta love that hot-water bottle)

Have just sent GMM v email re meeting up at his this Sun eve and picking up where we left off last Sat
has cheered me up though

I think i would be running for the hills tbh! I know i Will have to meet Carrot's sister sometime (they share a house) and just the thought of that terrifies me!

I really should turn out the light but now I am on tenterhooks to see what GMM response is

the poor man might run a mile of course

Lilac What an absolute pig.

Mily i took my profile off SWK the icebreakers drove me mad.If someone can't be bothered to write to me personally then i don't see the point.

I really like DG have feelings that i have never experienced before.Butterflies and i can't even eat which is unknown for me.I did say to him that i'm really nervous and he said that his family are very sociable and would put me at ease.It's terrible i'm more concerned about the bowling and making a complete idiot of myself.

if it is just the bowling that scares you then i say embrace the fear as it will be worth it :)

MILY - I wouldn't part. But that's me. I have hindsight though. Which is a gift. But a useless one.

SCL and Lou and Kdk, why are our xh's such a disgrace??

KDK et al - end of october is probably a good one and it's half term, what about the friday before half term week? Most people should be around then.

Anybody??

Sorry,

Hi to EVERYONE!

Eve - I'm with you on LOTR!!

Hey Monty

you wouldn't part? D'you mean the dosh?

If the friday before 1/2 term week is the 22nd then I am up for that, depending on location

Lilac, what flame said

I really must go to bed, but I have just been splitting my sides at the retro 70's lunchbox rations thread, which I can thoroughly recommend

bnm, it was bizarre, he was texting me from hospital in thailand about crap like how he missed me , and how he called for me when he woke from his operation, and how she didnt like it, and at the same time she was texting from the same room trying to drag me into their drama

i told them both to leave me out of their personal life and i wasnt interested in hearing about anything from either of them (he gave her my number for some freaky reason)

she put him in hospital btw, she shouldve finished him off and done me a favour

Hi all

Unfortunately can't do half-term week - going away as didn't really have a summer holiday this year - hoping to get a flight on the Friday as my kids have inset day ...

Can anyone do the week after half term or go ahead without me (and I shall cry into my drink alone)

Will catch up on rest of thread when I get back from school run.

Hi all,

would love to meet up but really just too far away

Lilac, what a tosser, still better to know now than later. One of the problems with the internet. Too many men out there keeping their options open.

Beaut. Just go for it, hopefully it will be worth it!

MILY, Sponge, any news yet on your dates.

Wave to evveryone else

Off to work on my laptop in the hairdressers.

Must make myself respectable

kdk - is the week after half term first week in Nov? Not sure I can do that week but can do 2nd week in Nov....

elasta - impressed with taking laptop to hairdressers good luck for lunch date tomorrow, hopefully with everything you have going on at present it will be a little light relief even if theres no spark

Am meeting WM on Friday but (there's always a but isnt there!) his meeting is first thing & will be finished by mid morning so we're just going for coffee. not that exciting, but better than nothing I suppose!

boo to WM! But better than nothing - and certainly more action than I'm seeing!

Second week in Nov works for me - have to see if everyone else can do it or would prefer to go with end of Oct.

Meanwhile I have just been turned down for a job - in fact, not even a job, but the possibility of a job. Am getting a tad pissed off to be honest as have spent nearly £5K plus a lot of time and energy retraining as an adult ed teacher - and finding it impossible t find work. Gah! And no man, Double Gah! And no alcohol or carbs atm, Treble Gahs all round!

Hi all

Sponge Im sure you will have a great time and you never know he might suggest going on somewhere else.

Where does everyone live.I am in bedfordshire.

Lou that is weird and obsessive on a whole new level.What does he think of your dp?How long have you been with dp?Thats what i fear most exp finding out if i start seeing someone.

Im now seeing DG tomorrow night as well.I have been into town to get something to wear for saturday today.I had a little sob in front of the changing room mirror at my horrible stretchmarked wobbly tummy

BNM, I am Herts, there are some in London, Elasta is derbs

DG won't be looking at your tummy, but your beautiful face

Mily I will see if i can make it then for the meet up.Would be nice to see who is giving me all this great advice.

Thank you for saying he will be too busy looking at my face.I really need to chill out.Have treated myself to nice new underwear and feel good in the outfit i have chosen.Cant believe i might be getting some action its been a while haha.

I think that meeting up with GMM again will make everything clear as to what you want to do from here.Moving to oxford will be difficult but if you are into one another enough it shouldn't prove to be too big a factor.

Not sure what he thinks of dp as we dont really speak, but he hasnt said anything bad about him.

We have been together 9.5 months

I really dont give a rats arse about his views wrt me seeing someone. From the day we split i have never discussed my personal life with him and never will.

Hasnt stopped him trying to find out, or telling me about his sex life to get a reaction, but it never works.

I think he has serious mental health issues

Lou Is good to know that at least you can have your own time alone with dp despite exh trying to cause reactions all the time.

Ooh 9.5 months exciting.Soo it will be a year just after christmas?I would love to have someone to spend christmas with.There are many times when being a single parent is lonely but christmas is definitely one of the worst.Exp has the boys from evening christmas eve until late afternoon christmas day and i am absolutely dreading it.

We met the week before Xmas. Its usually a time of stress for me, exh doesnt have them or help me out financially. But aside from expense its mainly calm.

It will be better with dp around this year tho

I usually go see my sister and her family on boxing day, but we may just stay here this time

yay for New undies.

I have no dc on boxing day but tbh it is always the run up to xmas i love. the actual day and aftermath never has the same magic. I'll either go to mum's or curl up with a book in bed. that sounds lovely actually!

Forgotten what else i read. sorry for lack of capitals btw, it is when i post from my phone.

Going to pub quiz with carrot tonight

is carrot properly local?

Any views on MySingleFriend?
