oh - hello everyone - can I join you???

have seen this thread sooooooooo many times in active but never stuck my head round the door before

MaMoTTaT · 07/11/2010 22:01

how's that for an entrance Blush - a double post.

Janos · 07/11/2010 22:02

Lou - I wouldn't have made another one! You're probably much nicer than me.

Also, analysis required of why PMM is now starting to ask for my opinion and stuff and wants to chat.

Actually, why am I even analysing this? It doesn't really matter.

Janos · 07/11/2010 22:06

Hi MaMoTTaT, best way to get noticed. Welcome:)

MaMoTTaT · 07/11/2010 22:08

Grin Thanks

I see several names I recognise - so that's nice

Janos · 07/11/2010 22:14

Yup, it's epic. Settle in for the night with your favourite drink and get stuck in!

Remotew · 07/11/2010 22:17

MaMottat, its a pre-requirement that anyone who joins in has to read all 26 threads Grin. Welcome anyway.

MaMoTTaT · 07/11/2010 22:21

ahhh feck off abouteve - I 'aint reading it all Grin

so where are all the fit, interesting and available men then??

WingWoman · 07/11/2010 22:21

I'm lost - who is PMM?

MaM etc (can never remember your letters Blush) ello :) Tis nice 'ere. (Flamesparrow btw).

Yes, it does sound complex. Long or the short of it - we want each other but our lives don't mesh, so we're having what we can and finding people we do mesh with :) Still don't quite understand how the jealousy and magic is missing, but it is a Very Good Thing or I would be rocking in a corner Wink

MaMoTTaT · 07/11/2010 22:24

oh hello Flamey dear -

Smile

don't worry I'm thinking of name changing again soon anyhow - it's too random (my name)

lou33 · 07/11/2010 22:25

woohoo mamo, hello :)

i only made it once we had made up and sheepishly admitted he was hungry lol

Remotew · 07/11/2010 22:27

Feck knows where they are, some of us have been lucky but not me, sadly.

Janos · 07/11/2010 22:31

Flame, PMM = CM. CM = flakey Irish sexpot (brief summary).

Previous history is is very much just been a sex thing.

Now is lending me books and just making chit-chat, asking for my opinion. I'm just not sure what's going on.

Janos · 07/11/2010 22:33

Is it ok to describe a man in that way? Is it unbearably sexist of me?

WingWoman · 07/11/2010 22:33

Oooooooooooooooooooh. Odd!

WingWoman · 07/11/2010 22:34

sounds fair to me :o

FairyLightsForever · 07/11/2010 22:34

Hello Mamo, I was wondering why we hadn't seen you here before! How did your weekend go in the end? Was ex under your feet all day?

Janos that's vee exciting... I will be keeping my fingers crossed.

Oh flame, I think this one's go a long way to go yet... Grin

And another Grin for lou and the 'fry up in the bath photo' that would have been a classic!

I wish I could get more enthusiasm for the whole dating lark, but noone who's come up recently really interests me. Well, except for the one who 'doesn't do commitment' who is fit and I'm a high match with, but i'm refusing to meet him. Hmm

Janos · 07/11/2010 22:35

lol @ lou.

I still wouldn't have made it. Ok, maybe I would - I like cooking for people.

Remotew · 07/11/2010 22:37

Janos, A guy (FWB) I have a similar thing with does this, even text me from Geneva saying I was thinking about you, bit confusing. New one sounds promising.

I was on webcam last night to Turkish Delight until 2 in the morning, just chatting, nothing naughty. He says he wants to visit, just for a holiday, can see that going down great with DD.

Lou, at least you didn't throw the plate at him.

Janos · 07/11/2010 22:37

FLF - who is Mr doesn't do commitment? Wonder if I've met him.

That has happened to us before after all....Grin.

Janos · 07/11/2010 22:40

It is confusing eve. I can't be arsed with any nonsense behaviour (say what you want dammit), but then I enhoy chatting to him, he's intelligent and v entertaining. I vacillate between thinking friends is ok and that it would be a terrible idea.

Not that this dominates my thoughts, but I do think about it. I find it impossible to sleep with someone I like and have no attachment whatsoever.

MaMoTTaT · 07/11/2010 22:42

oh my weekend has been pretty shite tbh.

No he wasn't under my feet - he managed to arrange to go down to an old family friend (my parents friends) for the afternoon/evening with them on Saturday.

DS1 came back upset that he'd not got to talk to his dad all afternoon (he'd spent the entire time talking to family friend). Must have really upset DS1 as usually he's very "oh yeah was cool" (even when it's not).

Plus DS3 apparently had been complaining of a tummy ache just before they left/on the way back. (DS1/2 back up that DS3 had indeed been saying this)

I quickly discovered (after exH had gone) that he was upset because he'd had an accident in his pants - bit of runny poo........which had obviously been in there AGES as it had already dried totally Sad (and Angry. DS3 gives very clear "cues" if he's had an accident - lots of bum holding, pant pulling etc. So he obviously just didn't pay attention.

THEN I discovered \link{http://www.plentyoffish.com/viewprofile.aspx?profile_id=18678212\this listing on PoF}

yes - that's my ex.........claiming to have no children while looking for a long term relationship.

Other than that it's been ok I suppose.

FairyLightsForever · 07/11/2010 22:51

I suspect you haven't unless you've been dating in Edinburgh?!
He's 30 and on OK Cupid, looks reasonably 'do-able' from photos and we have a lot in common from his profile... and he keeps messaging asking if I've changed my mind yet, but I suspect that if I actually gave in to him he'd lose interest fairly quickly as he's not looking for a relationship.
A very small part of me says "well you've not had any for a year..." but it's winter and it's just easier to curl up in a blanket with some rubbish tv.
See this is why I need to start going out more, I'm turning into an old fart! Janos I promise I'll get sorted and we'll go dancing, hopefully some young totty spotting will get my libido up and running again!

Janos · 07/11/2010 22:52

Christ, MaM what an utter cunt your XH is.

How can anyone ignore their kids like that. Not only that, but pretending he doesn't have any on his profile!

Fucking hell.

Janos · 07/11/2010 22:54

Ha ha, FLF...I haven't but tell what what his username is on OkC? Just a feeling in my water...

That's how I met promising new bloke.
