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

[ninah]

lilac where are you????!

date number two not arranged yet. Will let you know. Of course, he might not be interested at all. We had a bit of text tennis and he said his dog was knackered and hadnt spoken a word since he got home. I text back that i didnt know his dog coiuld speak and why didnt he mention it earlier?
He said she probably tried to speak to me, but im very chatty.
I said , oi, is that code for i talk too much.
Ne said no, he thinks its really nice ive got a lot to say :) and maybe next time his dog would talk to me.

:)

policeman party sounds good.

Tookool Sounds good.He does sound very keen.

I think the single parent festival holidays sound fab.I'm taking the boys away on their first holiday with DG and his family in May.I wish i had the confidence to take them away before but i was worried especially with ds1 as he runs off all the time and i would have panicked about their safety.

Hatesponge forgot tp say the policeman party sounds great.I watched that Natalie Cassidy programme too and found her really annoying.

Sounds like he is really keen Took by mentioning next time

I have been talking to a couple of guys on POF so will see how it goes - no dates on the horizon yet though.

If your thinking of a festival try the efestivals.co.uk website, it gives info on all the festivals whatever siza over the UK. There is one in Leicester that is supposed to be good for families

tookool - I agree he sounds keen! good for you, guess this shows the difference between guy from the other week (who maybe wasnt quite right for you, and vv, and thats why he didnt text) and this one where it seems to be flowing nicely....!

am looking forward to roomful of policemen in the meantime have been exchanging winks on match with a man who judging by his photo is almost the double of WM. This has also brightened my day. Am not sure he's a member though which might explain why I've not had an email....

Sponge If he just keeps winking then probably not a member.Would he be able to read a message if you send one?

Ladies i need some ideas for my 30th on the 21st i really don't know what to do and am not too bothered but feel under pressure from friends/family.

I had a family meal for my 30th. Hardly set the world alight! lol

wish i had done something a bit more memorable, but i was with my husband then, and it was a joint thing.

Yes, i think it shows the difference, very much so.
Like, at the time you think, 'that went well' then when you get home and think a little bit more you realise maybe it didnt, and clues like body language etc.. were all saying no. But maybe it depends what you expect from a first date?
i was/have only been expecting it to just meet someone i might be interested in seeing again, and that doesnt repulse me.

lol

i wasnt expecting anything more from a first date. But sundays was totally different. I said to my dog ( as you do) when we got back to the car and i was following him to the pub. that i thought he was really hot. i was just 'wowed' really. And the thinking about it all post date has been better, like i remembered we were stealing food from each others plates, ( instigated by him) and then i got some on my cheek and he wiped it away and laughed.

And on the sofa in the pub we were only about 2 inches from each other.. so it was quite intimate i supose.

So, i supose, thats the difference between an 'ok' date and a ' good' one.

Still only one date though, so cant be getting all over excited.

Glad to hear everyone sounding so positive!

I am feeling so much better since DS got back today - I didn't realise how much I had missed him.
Most ongoing on man front but tant pis

That should be nowt not most - stupid spellchecker!

Soounds great TK :)

There needs to be a vague attraction there or there is no point imo SM.

Talking to a couple of nice ones, let's call them Eyes and Download. Download unfortunately is following my theme for the same RL name each time . Prefer the look of Eyes, but chatting more to Download.

Just discovered on FB that my stepsister is friends with Matt too Not heard from him but mate assures me he plans to be back in touch.

Hi all,

Well blow me down, university man is coming to the ball after all!! he had to re arrange his weekend and he txt me earlier to say all sorted and he will book a train up.

We will be staying in a hotel with some other work friends of mine - will be booking 2 rooms though

That's good news, elasta.

Sponge, like the sound of the policemen too. Remember the one I was talking to who worked at the palace? I never met him, but spoke to him a lot shortly after I met TLOML but didn't know quite how things were going to turn out. Well, he disappeared without a word back in mid-December until I got an email last night...full of excuses and apologies and how much he'd wanted to get in touch again but thought I would only tell him to get lost. He was right, I did

Tookool, looking forward to your 2nd date with this bloke almost more than you are...hurry up and fix it up!

hey all

Yay elasta for university man .....and separate rooms of course

Yay Tookool for defeinitely positive signs from Dogman (new name needed??) and the 2nd date potential

BNM, sounds like you are doing the right things, notwithstanding the vom factor

A busy few days chez Mily. DD2 3rd birthday today and she has just been a delight, as has her big sis, had a lovely day togewther. Day off for me as nanny on hols so did school run and then trip into the village to do various jobs, all the while chatting with DDs and really loving their company. Makes such a nice change to have the time for them, no worries that phone will ring or email pop up, dragging me away.....DD2 loving telling everyone who would listen that today was her birthday and that she was having a party.

The transformation of my house from marital home to my home continues. Contents split agreed finally with XH after some fuckwittery from him . Coincided with some ebay luck, cue John Lewis single bed with guest bed for DD2 room and cabin bed for DD1. So over the next couple of weekends we will pick those up and get their room sorted.

plus ............... Decree Nisi on Thursday

new year, new me seems to be having the desired effect

rooms

Woooopooohooooooooooo

He just text asking me out again.

Fuck me, how exciting is that????!!!!!!!

Fucking hell.
Wow.

An actual real second date.
With someone who actually seems lovely.

Wow.

Oh TKFS that is fab!!!!! really pleased for you

I can't even tell you how excited I am. Or how chuffed.
First second date since I was about 19. And I'm now 32.

So. It's Friday. He works in a barn with no heating and I asked if he was freezing and wished he had abducted my gloves. ( we had a bit of a joke about him abduction my lovely wellies)

And he just replied, no. But I wish I had abducted you.

:)
:)
:)

Definately keen Took

Can I ask do you guys usually wait for the guy to suggest meeting up. I have been talking to someone on POF and wondered how long you usually chat to before they/you suggest meeting up

Hi all

Mily So glad everything is going well for you.Will you be having a celabratory drink when the decree nisi comes through.

Took So pleased for you and hope your second date is as great as your first.I have a feeling it will be fab.He sounds lovely.

Zany Hi.I think it's best to meet someone early on i don't see the point in speaking to someone for ages without meeting as when you meet you might have no spark and therefore wasted all that time.So yes i would suggest a date if he hasn't.

zany. ive done both.
ASked, and been asked. and waited for ages and also met up quickly.

Id say meeting up fairly quickly is best. Within a few weeks, else you end up building up a relationship of sorts online and then if it doesnt match in RL its a bit awful. ( speaking from experience)

Ive asked, but resolved not to ask anymore, nor send texts/call first or whatever since oct time ish, last year.

I do think there is a bit of truth in the fact, that if hes interested, he will ask you out, and if he wants to see you he will call.
Its rubbish. but i do think thats how it is.

Im very excited about friday.

There is likely to be kissing.
:)
I spent most of the last date wondering what it would be like to be kissed by him.
And he has very nice arms.

aww amazing tookool so pleased for you! So what are you wearing?

I've just deleted my pof account in a moment of "oh what's the point" ness.

Kind of regretting it but oh well....

set it up on something else. i think it very much depends on the area you live. How about okcupid?

Im going to wear skinny jeans. some patent shoe boot things ive got. Hes 6ft2 and im very very short.

vest top ( fab boobs)
boyfriend cardigan to keep it casual

we are going to the cinema, and then go from there.

He did offer to cook for me, but said he was also happy to go out and do something.
but to be honest, i wouldnt trust myself. So i came up with cinema instead.

Even though id rather jump him :)

I shall go out with unshaved legs. to make sure i dont.

Tookool, great news re date no 2 am sure it will go well!

Elasta - hurrah re university man as well, really pleased he can accompany you.

Mily - excellent news re decree nisi, turning house into your home!(I'm still struggling with this, despite the fact I've been back there nearly a year it doesnt feel like mine...)

Hello to everyone else as well

Am still single and dateless (of course!)Friend told me yesterday (in a nice way) that I should have therapy around my issues with men - because in her view if I didnt have those issues then, fabulous as I am, there is no way I would still be single.

She was being kind, but am still a bit ....

Tookool, that is soooooooo fab. 2nd date with TLM we went to a concert at the O2 (was supposed to go with my dad but he couldn't in the end so at the last minute it coincided with 2nd date timing iyswim), all v casual but ended up snogging all the way back on the tube and train , was fab, 1st kiss nearly blew the top of my head off . Felt quite sorry for the people around us as it went on for ages

Unshaven legs may not help....[Wink]

BNM am definitely going to pop a cork for DN. Am with you on the early meet up, also talking on the phone early rather than endless email/text. TLM lovely voice
