Where have all the fit, interesting and available men gone (part 26)

[BlackFLAMECandle]

Oooh brand new thread!

Lol Lou :o

well it isnt like they could get up to anything as she has to share with her almost 14 yr old sister

my mum let me have my bf to stay overnight with me from my 17th birthday, he nearly fainted when she asked him if he wanted to sleep with me or in the spare room

sponge - sorry to hear about the job but it's a boost to know you've done well. Twist about a bit and give yourself a pat on the back!

kdk - 'emotional multitasking'(!) Well at least he's honest if nothing else. Btw DS has school dinners. Much easier, one less task to do at night.

eve - smart thinking, seize the moment. He's obv keen or he wouldn't be asking you to meet up again

lou - are you all excited and nervous for dd1? Bloke sounds very nice, handy to have around in a domestic emergency too. Good tradesmen are hard to find!

Remember my mini-fret about bloke not being interested? He is, I'm happy to say. Now I just need to find some spare time!:)

elasta - congrats on your dates this week. Fingers crossed they go well for you. Although even if they don't, what an ego boost!

sorry about the job sponge, and yay janos!

i am excited for dd

we have had a sneak on her fb for a pic, as dp is a friend of hers on there but i am not

he looks much better than the usual type she swoons over

Lol @ sneakily checking him out on FB!

V pleased for you, janos!

That's great Janos, when are you seeing him again? Does he have a nickname or is that earned on the next date.

dd1 is back from her date

she said it went well, that he is quite shy (as is she), and although he chatted to the others he focused on her, and when the other couple left they stayed and talked more, then instead of letting her get the train home, he drove her back , which is v much out of his way

and they have agreed to see each other again

i am so PLEASED

Thank you lilac and eve!

I don't have a definite plan as I have the bad luck to be block booked for next 2 weeks. However I'm sure I could shoogle some stuff around.

I'm going to go for next Friday (earliest I can make it sadly).

That's fab lou! He sounds a reet smasher (trans..geordie for good bloke :))

Right am bushed so off for some zzzzs

Night all :)

janos you forget i am half geordie

sorry about the job sponge

WW - we'll be watching you know

Lou - Glad your DD's date went well

Jano - woohoo he's interested.

(And anyone I missed out - sorry)

All quiet on the Western Front here.

Been chatting to a guy today via OkC email - but it's general chit chat. We're very different, and he's selected the "drugs - sometimes" box - which for me is a HUGE MASSIVE ALMIGHTY NO!. I wouldn't, nay couldn't date someone that took soft drugs, even weed, even if it was only occasionally - not after last year. (oh and he spent 15 years living in Hippie communes in the Welsh countryside PMSL) )

I think, apart from the obvious "red flags" the drugs thing is the only thing I'm absolutely 100% not going to be swayed on when it comes to dating.

bloody hell, some blokes. Was chatting to a guy - got round to chatting about our personal situations - once I'd told him I had sole custody AND lived with my ma, he commented that it must be 'hard to meet someone as living at mums' and disappeared. Assume I can translate that as 'I am only after a shag and you are too complicated/would involve expense of hotel etc so piss off'

urghh - what a tosser!

I can't understand the blokes that say "my life isn't stable enough for a relationship where children are invovled"

Yup - you know what, going through a marriage/relationship break-up where there were children involved was a really stable time for the LP wasn't it.............

Oh yay for date Lou and Janos for interested bloke.

Good on you for giving him your number eve!

I am wandering round :o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o

But what with not talking about that bloke, I will say no more...

I'm half Geordie

He asked to meet up for a drink on Saturday, said I couldn't. So suggested next weekend instead, he invited me to go over his way for a drink! Now if I am driving back I'm on coffee, here we go with the practicalites of an LDR though it's less than 30 miles.

Still chatting to local bloke who I wouldn't date because of the "drugs" thing.

Sort of conversation you'd have if you went to a party and started chatting to a stranger for conversation rather than trying to hit on 'em

Anyhow - how's this for possibly the best typo of the week (from myself)

We were talking about the whole single/separated/divorced thingy. And he said I should just put single as it's not likely I'm going to suddenly want to run of to Vegas and get married by a priest dressed as Elvis......

My response (I also "signed off" for the night in it) was

"hastily arrange vegas marriage with an Elvish priest could be fun "

lord of the rings wedding here we come!

waves

yay Janos and Eve, also Lou re DD date
MaMo you said you might chnage your name - GilGald? Arwen??

Wing for Friday

also,, am I going to find an empty pub if you all get there by 5.30?? Am fingers crossed I can get the 17.45 and should be with you by 18.45......

What time do you all need to be away? I need to give Raf a steer on what time to come to pick me up

I can't really complain... he goes to Leeds for work about once a year st most. its just bad timing :(

(Oh Will try and spend at least a week with this name...)

*Gilgalad

Now trying to convince XH to have them from stupid o clock Saturday morning.

Sorted out a date for this weekend. I'm going to get a train and meet up for something to eat and a few drinks then get a train back. Then I can drink but no pressure on either of us.

ooh Eve, sounds good

good thinking Eve, hope it goes well :)

Mily, I cant speak for everyone else but I'm out til whenever! - DS2 with the Ex, and DS1 is having a sleepover, so I'm in no rush to go home to empty house

off to do some late night shopping now, the much needed day off (from my crap job) tomorrow :)
