sorry lou Sad

I've found my divorce took ages. Started about 2.5 years ago but there was issues about grounds so that delayed it. Been waiting to hear back from Solicitor for the last week about a date for the Absolute and then it suddenly arrived in the post on Saturday, unfortunately the financial court order isn't back from the court yet and thats what I need to re-morgage etc. Anyway I will stop waffling, my point is it can all speed up pretty quickly.

Like the idea of un-shaven legs Took although if you still fancy him as much on the 2nd date then maybe it won't matter Grin.

BeauticianNotMagician · 11/01/2011 16:20

Lou Sorry that your divorce is taking longer than you hoped but at least it is in progress.

Mily I remember my first phone conversation with DG it was only two days after first contact.He was soo nervous.Though he is still awkward on the phone sometimes.A man of few words but the ones he does say are all the right ones Grin

I can't wait until friday to see DG im trying to find a perfect outfit.

tookoolforskool · 11/01/2011 16:26

he rung me. we were on the phone for ages.

Yeah, i REALLY fancy him.

unshaven legs, stubbly bikini line and maybe fort knox needed?

I refuse to sleep with him so quickly.
even though i reckon it would be fantastic ( i can always sort of tell)

sponge - thats a bit Confused of them isnt it. Its bloody hard to meet firstly someone you like, then someone who likes you back.
Everyones been saying similar things to me. Not about having problems, but couldnt understand why i am single.
Thing is, i thnk as a lone parent, you get more picky, or know what you want, rather than dont want, and cant be bothered to put up with any crap.

lou33 · 11/01/2011 17:01

I have said before its best to only shave one leg to avoid getting carried away!

Slow is an understatement. Its been five years. . .

Flame · 11/01/2011 18:36

Going for coffee with Download on Friday :) Not overly convinced by his pic, but we get on really well chatting.

elastamum · 11/01/2011 20:10

hi all,

Had long chat with university man this afternoon. He is coming up early so we can mooch around town before we go out. He has also arranged a late train home so we can get up late amd do sunday lunch. Still doing single rooms though Grin

Supposed to be going on a date with radioman on Thur - feeling a bit meh though as he hasnt called me since last week. I may call him later and see how the land lies - might as well cancel really - he seems def not interested in me Hmm

Zanywany · 11/01/2011 20:26

Just had a funny internet dating message from a guy who has obviously sent it to loads of women asking someone to go skiing with him. Sure he will get lots of response Grin

SmileyMily · 11/01/2011 20:36

Elasta, if you feel that way about radioman, you would be right to cancel I think - you don't need to waste your time on someone so lukewarm

Zanywany · 11/01/2011 22:45

Well I have just had a few 'chats' to a guy online and he has just rung to ask to meet up, didn't even know I was on the website sp presume my info has fed through from POF. He seems OK and has kids himself so I may meet up with him next week. Trying not to put too much emphasis on pix (I know that sounds shallow but you have to fancy him) as you often fancy the people in RL who you may not if you obly see their pix. If you know what I mean

Mzdemeanourunderthemistletoe · 11/01/2011 23:08

I'm sure someone else had a message from some guy asking her to make up the numbers on a ski-ing holiday ...

and elasta - if you feel 'meh' i wouldn't bother .. i went on one of them on friday and wish to hell i hadn't bothered!

elastamum · 11/01/2011 23:22

Wow!!! at least my in flight crap detector is still working!!

Have just got off the phone with radioman and he said 'he doesnt have the time for a relationship right now' I feel ashamed to say that I laughed. Then I told him that I had already worked out that he either was far too busy, or not that interested in me, or a bit of both and that I wasnt offended by him having the guts to admit it. We then had quite a good humoured conversation.

(actually his excuse is all bollocks of course because if I was the girl of his dreams he would find time to see me even if I lived on the moon)

Anyway, I feel much better because unknown to him I am already going out with university man this weekend and I dont feel guity about that anymore.

So he is still coming over to take me out on Thursday and I am expecting it will be quite a laugh as we will both able to say exactly what we think!

Watch this space Grin

ILoveItWhenYouCallMeBoo · 11/01/2011 23:33

OMG!!!

someone just mailed me on POF to call me a twat!! i have had no contact with him, never viewe his profile or anything. interestingly his username is "thischarmingman" Hmm i emailed him back to ask why he felt the need to be abusive and he had blocked me!!!

Mzdemeanourunderthemistletoe · 11/01/2011 23:41

to be honest - if you have never spoken to him or had any contact, I would report him ... that is abusive, unneccessary and could be intimidating to some users. but he is obviously a complete twat himself .. and a twunt and very probably a munter as well.

ILoveItWhenYouCallMeBoo · 11/01/2011 23:43

i did report him. what happens when you report someone? do they get a ticking off?

ILoveItWhenYouCallMeBoo · 11/01/2011 23:44

i just don't get it. ok so he mightnt like whathe sees on my profile but all he has to do is click out of it and move on, why go out of your way on a dating site to tell soemone you don't like them??

lou33 · 11/01/2011 23:45

yes mz i was going to say the same about the skiing

elasta, it's good you found out about him and have another date set up, and i agree with you about finding the time if he thought you were the one

his loss eh?

i had a few shitty messages during my online dating time, but i found the best way was to not respond at all, or sometimes reply with a decent put down

some of them are just on there to take the piss

dont let it get to you because those type of men are not worth the effort

ILoveItWhenYouCallMeBoo · 11/01/2011 23:48

you are right lou. i was wondering if he is drunk or something.

lou33 · 12/01/2011 00:09

either ignore him or report him

dont let him upset you though :)

ILoveItWhenYouCallMeBoo · 12/01/2011 00:28

i did report him, but i am forgetting about it now. it's his issue, no reflection on me.

aurorastargazer · 12/01/2011 09:51

place marking again Blush

BeauticianNotMagician · 12/01/2011 10:32

StellaBrillante · 12/01/2011 12:00

ladies, please help me out: how do I let ds' teacher know (in a VERY subtle way) that I think he's nice... as in 'ask me out for a coffee' type of nice?!?!?! I do think he's VERY nice but I'm absolutely terrified of making a fool of myself or coming across as the 'desperate single mum hitting on the poor male teacher'! :)

StellaBrillante · 12/01/2011 12:03

btw, he's not ds' form teacher or a main teacher
