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

[ninah]

lilac where are you????!

OMG

AM supposed to be on a date tomorrow night. The guy, think I'll call him physco guy rung me last week and we have emailed/texted a few times. Anyway he has just texted me to say 'Cherios hun take care', I replied asking him how he is and he said he is going to 'go and find someone who is interested in him' wtf. I then couldn'y help but ask if that means that the date was off for tomorrow . He is now sending a string of texts and is really cross that I only text him in response to him! When I reminded him that we haven't even met yet I get 'Typical woman, deflecting, find someone who thinks that is normal and I will eat my hat.

The alarm bells started ringing when he wanted to know why I was on the dating website and had I found someone I prefer to him.

Lucky escape?

Zany, lucky escape indeed, he sounds like a nutter. I had one of those on POF, I didn't respond straight away to a message, he sent me an abusive message saying I wasn't genuine (yes I am all woman last time I looked) and that he was better than me anyway.

I avoid men who say they are a genuine guy, as oppossed to what, a guy who was born a woman .

I had a message off someone who I was in two minds whether to reply to before, he's sent a few, so replied last night as I was in a good mood and he sent a one sentence message back with 3 spelling mistakes!!! It goes from bad to worse.

I have had a few more since then, apparantly I am arrogant, a muppet, offensive etc etc and I have been told to go and 'do one' I know I should just ignore him and not message back but I find it almost funny that he is sooo annoyed with me when we actually had a date lined up and I haven't been ignoring me or anything. I told him to learn some English after some of the comments so I am also now a toff

I am still off dating sites and it sounds like I'm saving myself some grief! MIssing some excitement too from the sounds of it ;). I hope it goes ok to all hav ing dates...

I miss the days when I could go to the pub, snog someone and get with them.

Whatever happened to the good old days?

zany! bloody hell! well out!

although, given he may possibly have some issues? (so glad we're not fast forward a year and you're posting in AIBU about this person...)

Gah. I got stroppy with Download last night. Think that is over. Pissed off with myself for taking a joke badly (the same kind of joking we'd been doing from the start), but tbh better i know now that he can't handle crazy me.

place marking again sorry

Yup. Was too nuts for Download :(

Why am I such a bloody freak? I can't even blame the whole marriage breakdown/Carrot thing. I have always been like it :(

Obviously not being one to waste time... I am now texting Bananaman. Originally from South Africa looking at his fb. Great huge smile :)

Oh I've got a soft spot for South Africans

:o

I dunno why I keep getting hopeful. I will inevitably turn into a fruitcake and scare them off.

I am in a foul mood today. It is pretty much all hormonal but I am pissed off with the world and just want to be held by someone who doesn't care that I am being a bitch.

Take it all with a pinch of salt Flame, then one day you might get a nice surprise, if not then you won't be disappointed.

I don't seem able to do that. My world seems to be very black and white, all or nothing .

As time goes on I am starting to wonder how many of DD1's AS traits are from me. Take last night for example - normally I am fine with teasing and joking, but last night I was completely baffled, genuinely had no idea wtf the situation was and took it all at face value. If it isn't spelt out for me plainly then I have no idea where I stand in any situation.

Sometimes though Flame I find that you are more in the mood to take a bit of a joke whereas other times it just winds you up.

Just read that back, I don't mean you personally Flame just that everyone os like that at times

place marking(as you do!)
not wishing to appear smug n judge-y here but where has the fun gone out of this thread?!

Lol yes knew what you meant.

Loads of texts from Bananaman :) He seems lovely and really happy in all his fb pics.

Mate been round for the evening, she was the one who got me to join POF in the first place as she met her man there. She's been adding piles of men to my favourites and been egging on texts with Bananaman. Feeling soooooooo much more positive now.

doom!gloooom!despondency!;)

well. i shall cut the doom and gloom.

well, sort of.

Ive had an email reply from russel brand. Woohooo.
I sent a witty, if scarcastic response to his original message and then said 'have to say, your hairs rather fab'

he replied... and then said that hes liking my hair alot, and its very coolxxxx

now- coming from a russel brand- jonny depp hybrid whos all lead singer in some kind of rock band, all skinny jeans and leather... this has rather boosted by ego.

I would be mental if i didnt meet him for a drink. Only problem is i cant date for a few weeks after this weekend due to other arranagements/lack of childcare.

STardust seems really nice. and interested. He text all night monday, and then msn all night last night. We are going out saturday. looking forward to it.

Grandad top text me yesterday which ive just temembered ive not replied to. I need to cancel that. Not interested. No point going.
Plus he called me hun, which, quite frankly, put me straight off.

Not spoken to mr mig since friday, or actually really even thought about him. Which is a first in aboiut 18 months.

Anyway - am off to work... attempting to be cool... so, er... rock on!!!!

lol

Ot but will help rid the doom and gloom, dd1 has been offered a uni place!

Yay for Russell brand!

Going for a walk on the beach in a bit with bananaman and dd2 :)

was just going to ask how you are today flame...

hope it goes well.

yay for Russel brand indeed. But hes going to have to wait till im free, in about a month.

Does anyone else find it impossible to get baby sitters mid week? ( or just anytime really)

No friends or family want to do it, or if they do i get 20 questions and told no later than 10 as they have work tomorrow ( as do i)

So, its all confinded to every other weekend when i dont have DD. Shes not able to go to her dads in feb, so ill have no free time at all.

Was thinking about joining sitters, but im not sure i could really afford it.

So, like this weekend DD is only with her dad one night. ive got a date saturday, and one sunday day time. Im thinking i might need to cancel the sunday day time one though, as ive got lots of things i need to get done, and if i dont im just setting myself up for a manic and stressed week, which i already know is going to be busy as it is.

oh, and congrats lou

Yay for DD1 Lou!!!! Fantastic news!

Well I had an interesting date last night. Met Radioman, he of the 'dont want a relationship atm' Was dreading it a bit but after a slightly cringy start, we had a really good time.

Wasnt expecting anything more apart from goodbye at the end. but he then said he had really enjoyed the evening, always found my company interesting and could we go out again sometime soon just as friends!!!

WTF, another man who doesnt want me as a GF but wants to be my friend.

Still he is good company and I need a laugh from time to time so I might just do that
