Where have all the fit, interesting and available men gone (part 29)

Too good an opportunity to miss!

Hi Fairy

Don't feel you have to lurk or stay away from this thread ... and I am so with you re V Day ... to the extent that I warned Theatreman (and I suppose I will have to think of something more appropriate as a nickname now ...) to not even think of marking the occasion .....

And just to show how predictable men are, I posted something on FB about how happy I was (I know, you can all vomit now ...) and guess who popped up to comment - Mrbetterbeworthit (who you'll probably remember, sadly wasn't ...) - I resisted the urge to go 'yah boo, sucks' though not sure why!

Hi all, Well I am usually very bah humbug on all this valentines stuff, but I have just had lovely valentines day e mail from mr global warming (aka prof) saying he has been thinking about me lots and giving me dates when he is about for us to meet again.

So I have packed my cynical head away for a bit and am . Still think distance will get the better of this one, but you never know....

hey FLF and MZ

i have posted a pic which hopefully everyone on this thread can see because I put you all down as mates, but will be private from everyone else, let me know if my techie skills worked

i would love a meet up, just say when

Have got over 1 hurdle in that I have told my dsis the news. And am so chuffed that she is really pleased. I was worried that she might not be, but once she knew that my dd1 was happy with it, she was very happy - she has been worried about us getting hurt, although she has met TLM a few times and really likes him. As she said, I've 'got to let her catch me up'

Just spent 30 mins on the phone with TLM chucking ideas about regarding an actual wedding ......we are leaning towards an informal party at home. Last thing we want is anything big or formal

Anyway, hope you like the pic

elasta, you just never know, really glad the vibes are good

May I be the first to say what a lovely picture ... and what a lovely couple you make!

Lovely pic mily, congrats again to you both :)

have to say this must be the most spectacular thread-hyjack ever....

lovely couple - matching hairstyles, teeth and wrinkles

maybe I should dye my hair so people can tell us apart!

OMG it gets worse...

Brackets has had a bust up with his parents about seeing someone with kids.

I am going to have to marry him aren't I?

No flame, you are not! Break up with him now on the grounds that you don't want to go against his parents' wishes .

flame

what lilac said

So far I have gone with "we've only seen each other 3 times, its not like it is a relationship" I can't until I have seen him again. He will never have sex again.

be cruel to be kind flame

flame, if you don't want to have sex with him, whether he is willing to have sex again at some point in the future is irrelevant to you and not your problem. Do what's right for you.

fck it. we are doing this now on msn...

Ah Mily, what a perfect couple!

Second/third whatever about what not owing brackets anything, flame. It's horrible having to let a bloke down, but if he isn't right, then you have to do it. He will live. (harsh fairy!)

I think this could last a while. He is NOT taking it well, and really not getting what I am saying. He doesn't understand what he has done wrong, and I am trying to explain that it isn't a "wrong" situation.

Don't get into an extended conversation, just make your point, wish him well for the future and scarper...

Totally agree with Lilac - just 'I'm sorry, there is nothing to discuss. I wish you well and really hope you find someone with whom you have a long and mutually enriching relationship but it isn't me. Goodbye and please don't contact me again.'

That's it ..

And done.

That was NOT the way I planned it. He completely lost it by the end. I am slightly scared tbh as he knows where I live :(

Have sent Matt a message on fb explaining the situation and asked if he will come round and scare the crap out of him if he does turn up tomorrow.

Bloody annoying that Matt is the best person I have for that! Dunno if he is talking to me again yet or not :(

miley - that is a lovely picture. you look so happy.
wow - wedding plans :) thats so exciting.

Flame - agree with the others, dont get in any further discussion about it with him. Just say you wish him well in the future and leave it at that. How he deals with that is up to him and not your responsibility.

beautician - how are you today? managed to sort it out with DG?

date confirmed with drummer next thur.
Biker will have to wait 2 weeks. Set for 2 weeks today/ He has asked. im very interested... but i dont seem the harm in chatting for a week or two first. besides i dont want to mess up the weekend ive got planned for myself. AND i have decided not to waste any more time arranging babysitters for dates. They will have to fit in with when i am free... at least until i know its going somewhere.

Did I miss something - whats happening with Brackets Nowhere

I love the way you were proposed to Sparkly, getting the DC's involved is lovely.

How are things today Beautician

I am on date 3 tonight with smiley man who is lovely but I am a bit undecided still.

Morning All

Me and DG have split up so sad

Oh Beaut

Beaut, are you sure? Can you fix it? So :( for you.
