Where have all the fit, interesting and available men gone (part 28)

[ninah]

lilac where are you????!

well. Hes updated his profile, written a whole lot of new things and added some new pictures.

So i most certainly will not be texting him at all.

I have decided i must be totally useless at this dating malarky.

2 years, not one second date. ( or the ones that did ask i couldnt bear to spend another second with)

Its just such a whole effort, with no return at all.

2 years.........

there is only so long you can be ' chin up, its only fun' its bloody not fun when its just either deadbeat after deadbeat, or rejection after rejection.

Ive got date on sunday day time that i may as well go on.

meh.

TKFS know how you feel. I have had several that have been 3rd, 4th or even 5th dates and then just drifted off. One even took me out for dinner and proceeded to tell me about his new GF he had just met. I nearly died

Have decided that I am going to keep going for a while longer but not worry about it too much. Go on your date on sunday and enjoy it for what it is, just a chance to meet someone new

Found a mate from college. He has invented a time machine and knocked 2 years off - I am v impressed. Most surreal night ever. Have agreed to coffee with a bloke on Saturday. Not overly hooked by him but giving it a shot.

Unicorn text sex bloke still about - still not sure whether to meet him or not.

flame - do you think i could borrow his time machine?
Nothing wrong with giving it a shot, you could always be surprised?

Had a bit more of a chat with dogman. He was online at the same time i was, and it was better. We have swapped numbers and date is set for sunday at 10:30.

Of course, the sensible think, would to not get all excited at every date. But thats just not me. I cant help it.

Can I join this thread? I seem to be in the same boat thinking I will never meet anyone nice.....

well made it into work despite not sleeping much last night. DCs couldn't sleep either but both off to school with minimum complaint this morning

Now would you think this pointed or is it my paranoia - ex BIL and SIL sent us Xmas card (they don't bother seeing me anymore since the split but suppose their loyalties would obviously lie with exh and seemingly new p too).

Anyway I didn't send cards so wrote on her wall (fb) wishing her and family hp Xmas etc and she posted back saying hope the New Year brings you much happiness.

Prob reading too much into this but does this sound a bit pointed to you. (I just wondered if new p had told her about the email I sent to her she might have drawn the wrong oonclusions from it).

SCL, I think it's a normal thing to say, wouldn't read too much into it. Perhaps he has told her, depends how close they are.

Hello, beingsetup.

and I should give her the benefit of the doubt tbh as when she met exbil she was divorced with three (older) dcs so prob knows how it is.

hi all

thank you for the birthday wishes :)

it was quiet as i was still feeling v up and down after the bug i had, so it was just a case of mooching about the house

no cake as i couldnt stomach one, and wasnt up to cooking, so dp made hot dogs and oven chips lol

why is it that i spend hours every week making food from scratch and yet they rave over the ready made bung in the oven /microwave stuff?!

the kids got me a few bits, a cook book, a knitted jumper/tunic, some chocolates , the rumer cd, a calender, and a grey jersey midi dress

and dp got me flowers and chocs

weirdly my exh decided to email saying happy birthday, because i had to admit we used to get on

i spent most of my birthday in bed tbh, didnt feel ill as such, just not right and shattered, and cant even blame a hangover from the night before, as i only had one beer and had to admit defeat and get back to bed lol

Sounds like you did OK for your birthday presents Lou, alot more than I got for Christmas, that's where you reap the rewards of a large family.

Best get on with my work.

Hi Beingsetup

Talking to a few people on POF now :o Its fun atm. Had to cancel the date on Saturday as I kind of volunteered to drive Carrot to Bristol so he doesn't fall asleep at the wheel.

In my defence I did volunteer that before the date was arranged, I just didn't think he would take me up on it.

Arranging to see another one for coffee on Friday afternoon, and may possibly meet up with Unicorn on Friday evening and see if there is any rl instead of text chemistry. Don't know if I want to though

Hi everyone,

I am pretty new on here but thought I would say, I met the most amazing bloke on an internet dating site, we chatted for months due to him working away and met up when he got back, it was like we'd known each other forever. We are now talking about getting hitched. I didn't think there would be anyone out there for me and there was, so hang in there, ooooh and he's 7 years younger than me!!!!!!

Sebs, nice to hear of another success, a few on this site have met long term partners too.

Mily when you read this I want you to know that your new man is very handsome, well done to both of you, of course .

Oh sweet I've just been talking to 'Turkish Delight', remember him anyone, who has told me he has met someone. I replied that I am pleased for him then he told me he couldn't forget about me since we met 18 months ago and dreams of me.

I have arranged to pull off my journey home tomorrow to meet a guy from POF, only 8 yrs my junior, not fussed if we don't like each other as I have my Sat night date with ex young man.

Flame go on both, shame you cancelled in favour of Carrot.

In all honesty, the Saturday guy does nothing for me. I only said yes because he was on IM and it seemed rude to say no . Plus the Carrot thing for once is something I would do for any of my friends, regardless of my attraction to them .

Ok. Do I meet Unicorn?

From his pictures he seemed ok, but nothing that leapt out at me. We have a text relationship that involves very little actual talking . If the chemistry is there in rl it could be v hot good. If it is not it could just be plain awkward.

'Very little talking' via text? What have you been doing? I cannot possibly advise you whether to meet him unless you tell all.

If it's sex text he will be expecting some action on the date so it could be awkward if you are looking for something else.

Yup, sex texting only. . Not entirely sure how it started. I have made it VERY clear that if I do meet him I will not be doing anything other than having a drink.

It would never be a "relationship" with him

i wouldn't bother - think that despite what you've said to him, he'll be going by the expectation set by what you've done already iyswim ... but that's just my opinion!

phwew

I have had an early mental spring clean, which some may have spotted on FB - tx for the lovely comment Eve, TLM will be chuffed to bits . Of course, until MZ and my best RL gf pointed it out, I had failed to spot our matching hairstyles..........nothing to be done, I love my crop and I don't think he'd be willing to grow his out

I am embracing returning to my maiden name (had the deed poll back weeks ago but felt rather odd about it for some reason).

Have agreed the split of house contents with the idiot xh and he is returning the financial papers to the court so there is a chance that will all be finalised to coincide with the DN. I really feel like I can move on and I am so excited about the potential of the future

do i have you on my fb?

MzD - in all honesty if the chemistry is there in rl I wouldn't have any issue with that

Flame, yes just pm'd you on there

Hi All,

MILY, so please it is going well. Am back at work today. Have got another (5th) date with radioman next week, - still dont know where, if anywhere it is all going though
Have big company do end of nxt week, with partners and dont know whether to invite radioman - who I still really fancy but worried he might say no - university man - who would be a laugh to go with but not sure I want to get too involved with at this stage - or maybe I should just go on my own - what does the FAI jury think?
