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

[ninah]

lilac where are you????!

I think I must be too picky too! Good luck zanyway you might have an amazing time you never know. It's been nearly a year now and I've had one snog

I must be doing something wrong....

feel rubbish today. daughter going back to glasgow, need to go and stick her on th etrain...birthday tomorrow - very skint :( butfridge full & do have a bottle of champagne stashed away to drink on my own tomorrow night. :)

snape - sorry you feel bad. Very happy birthday for tomorrow. I always think its kind of birthdays, xmas things like that that make it seem a little bit crap being on your own. other times is not so bad.
And everyone is skint in jan. Im really skint until i get paid. Bloody awful.

zany and beingset up - nothing wrong with being picky. Nothing at all. Im stupidly picky, so much so i wont be with mr big because i know ( as much as i love him) that its not in the best interets of my child. Hes not that sort of person. Family days out, or lazying around playing games isnt him and i refuse to comprimise on that.

Stardust has been texting me already this morning. So im presuming that the date went well. He does seem nice and funny and very easy to be in his company. Didnt set me on fire, but id be happy to spend more time in his company.

Nope, not a thing from Matt. WTF is it with that man?? I could understand grand plans in the middle of the night not being followed through, but he was still texting enthusiastic yesterday lunchtime. He was the one who contacted me again. He was the one who arranged last night. He was the one who suddenly went all wanting something real etc. Unless he is back taking things . Either way he is clearly not one of my brighter ideas

FBS text last night saying he'd text midweek to arrange dinner, but other than that was going to stop texting for a while as he wanted to take things slowly. I think he finally got the hint that he has gone stalkerish. Dunno if I will do dinner or not yet.

Brackets is texting a bit, but not masses.

Oh and Carrot sent a random pic and a few texts at midnight?!

Ohh, well sailor2 has sent me a message saying that I look lovely but he is not sure about 'older women' and whetehr this would be an issue - am 4 yrs older than him! WTF

Cheeky sod! When I have stopped laughing I will compose a suitably witty response to him. He is also a big skier so I will tell him that if he can beat me down any piste he cares to choose (I am pretty good) he can call me old - but not until then.

OR I have made him up and he is actually fictional... (which is starting to seem quite likely)

OH Flame, what is it with all these falky men!

Argh maybe FBS hasn't got the hint. On fb chat asking if I have the kids next weekend, and if I do we could take them to longleat?!!? No way in hell is any man meeting my children (Strawb in a pushchair doesn't count) until I know them.

Ok. I have told him Very Clearly to slow down. Dinner, a chat. That is it. There is nothing ahead of that until we have done that.

He was a nice guy, so trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. Will get to Weds, see how he behaves and then back off if needs be.

Flame I think I would stear clear of Matt, isn't that the second time he's done that? Not worth it.
Fbs, lol. He will be asking you to move in in a week!!! Well done for telling him though.

Elastamum. Lol at 4 years being older woman.

I seem to have got myself a second date for Tuesday :)

The second in total. But the first was just sex and very very vague plans made after drink in the middle of the night iyswim. I will probably steer clear though. I am crap so can't say "will" . I am not contacting him though.

Turns out FBS hasn't made it to a second date with any internet people... kinda see why!!

ok - so second date and wine.

woohoo. there will be snogging.

back from dropping DD atthe station - it's like a bit of my heart hasbeenripped out and is on a train heading north. :(

i'm definitely ducking out of internet dating for a bit i think -i have enough issues of my own to not start to worry about/second guess anyone elses. either that or the standards will have to drop substantially...

...but i'm still checking in here to keep up with all of your 'adventures'I'm vicarious like that!

tookool - very pleased for you and you never know, he may have been nervous which might have had an impact on the sparks!

flame - this guy sounds desperate!!!

You don't mind me sticking my nose in every so often, do you?

I have re-joined POF under new name and have posted a picture of a car with a note that happy to send pics to a selected few. I've had a few replies but the guys are even more weird than previous ones (never thought that to be possible!). I reckon they think I'm married hence the car photo... Any advice?

Considering asking teacher to School Valentine's Ball... Kidding!

Absolutely nothing happening at the moment with no prospect of future action. Poop! I feel sorry for myself as I actually made myself all pretty for rugby fixture yesterday - if nothing else, I need an ego boost in the form of a couple of admiring glances. Fixture got cancelled. Bloody weather.

Completely different subject - I went to watch 'The King's Speech' with a friend last night and it's simply wonderful, we both loved it and it exceeded all expectations!

Now, why isn't Colin Firth single and ringing me non-stop!?!?!

Off to the pool, if nothing else, might as well keep myself active.

i think he was nervous. Which is kind of sweet. He offered to take me to the cinema to see a film he had already seen. Held the door open,when we went for drinks first offered me a tast of his as it was something id not had before. Shared sweets and a drink at the cinema ( dogman wanted his own) AND he didnt scoff them all either!!! walked me home ( he said so id get home safe)

I think hes probaby more of a grower than an instant thing. However, this is probably becuse he has blonde hair. lol. Sounds so odd but ive never fancied anyone with blonde hair in my life. Which is actually a silly reason for no spark. Because thats all it was, other than that i had a really really nice time.

snape - :( How long is she away for? a month of so out of the dating game can be a good thing i tihnk. Eat cheese. Drink wine. Wear pjs at 5pm. :)

stella - can you put on a pic that your not full face on on? i always think if there is no pic there must be a reason for it, and then dont reply.
Or a pic of you in the distance?

now that would involve me having the impetus to changeout of my jim jams in the morning! i intend to spend birthday in pyjamas! :)

DD is staying in Glasgow with a friend to finish her standard grades, then joining us in Londonfor 6th form. She was staying with her dad and his....'woman', but was made to leave as she ate the wrong jam. (clearly it's a little more involved than that, but it's not really a great story and it makes me too cross to tell it...)

stardust sounds very gentlemanly - thats always a bonus. another 2nd date tookool!

stella - you need a pic, really. blokes are visual apparently...

Elasta 4 years! good god! am so fed up of all these men thinking they can pull women so much younger than them! I'm off to toyboywarehouse.com (joke!)

Stardust is 2.5 years younger :) its his birthday sat. If Tue goes well should I get a card?? That's a bit weird though isn't it?

A whole day in pjs is a wonderful thing. I am jealous. I am fully understanding of evil step mothers.. I've got one myself who made my life awful. Does she cone home most weekends?

And yes, get me, another second date.
I've finally replied to Russell brand too. Gave him my number and said I'm away for two weeks ( am not, but childcare issues) but if he fancies that dribk to get in contact as I'm cancelling my match subscription. It runs out tue and I don't think its worth 30 pounds at all.

I spent a fun couple of days with a handsome young french man in london a couple of years ago. He was from tbw lol

I wasnt on it for long tho as i never felt comfortable with the name of the site

tbw? will catch up in a bit

Toy boy warehouse flame!

Still working on suitable response to sailor2..But hunky blue eyed man has just messaged me saying can he meet me soon. things are looking up

ok. am quite looking forward to tues. because of lack of baby sitters hes coming here.
So he said not only would he bring wine, but also a film and hes baking a selection of goodies, muffins, brownies and a surprise.

and what are my fav muffins.

How nice is that? ive never had a man make me any kind of baked good.

tbw? the beautiful ??? women? worm? walrus? lol

Am giving up on all the online stuff again, its all a waste of time for me - lots of winks, no messages following from that, all seems a bit pointless.

So considering the alternatives...was sent a link to an Urban Dating event coming up in a few weeks - has anyone been to one? Or heard if they're any good? Wouldn't mind going provided I can find someone to go with, safety in numbers if it's awful/all men are terrible that kind of thing.....

on the plus side, have had good feedback from my interview last week. They are trying to create a position for me, which is good. However said job does involve a 4 hour daily commute, which I am concerned may finish me off :)

Just passing through, hello all...

tookool, mine was a grower, good luck with the next date.

Sponge FOUR hours? Better be megabucks for that.

snape, enjoy your birthday, shame DD can't be with you.

TLOML bought me this and this in palest pink to wear to our theatre date on our slightly early Valentine's night and so I can put a mental two fingers up at ExH when I also wear it to DD2's confirmation the following weekend. He is lovely (TLOML obviously, not ExH!!)

Wave to everyone else...now I must get on with some lesson planning

Ohh lilac, dress looks lovely!! am but also for you.

Sponge, 4 hrs!!! I have a 3 hr commute that I dont drive every day. If I do go in more than twice by the end of the week am on my knees! (and you should see my petrol bill)

well have messaged both potential dates. Hopefully will be seeing 2 new men nxt week. Really keen to meet blue eyes So fingers crossed.
