Where have all the fit, interesting and available men gone (part 30)

[lilacisinlove]

Yay! I did it again!

did that work?

oh ffs

I really like it in Bristol, so worth it for the outing

Oh I'm not reactivating my profiles on any sites btw. I can't be arsed atm. I know I want a someone, but I just don't have it in me right now to deal with nut jobs and second guessing etc.

Love the dresses MILY. wish I could try them on - or had a reason to even

Flame, I've deactivated mine as well. Am officially done with the internet as a method for meeting men, it's not for me.

Come to that, am done with the whole thing. The men I like are invariably shallow, and judge me by my appearance. The men who like my appearance are usually too stupid for me to tolerate. Which rather leaves me nowhere.

So am hanging up my dating shoes for the foreseeable, and will instead bask in the warm glow of the 15% bonus I got today (I may be shit at relationships, but I am a bloody good lawyer! ).

So good luck to all...and I will be back from time to time, not least for updates on Mily's dress :)

evening all,

things finally easing up for a few weeks with uni so thought i'd come catch up.

i'm thinking of coming back to join those on the bookshelf. the sofa is giving me a numb asse.

who's all still here from when I was last?. i'll give you a clue, half european dc.

can anyone fill me in? have i missed anything big? do you have any good dating stories i missed?

Wouldn't mind a numb arse right now.

I wish I had a career I loved and was good at HS

flame, hows things with you?

you dont want a numb asse. it really is a pain.

i'm thinking of extracting myself from this situation and resolving not to ever get involved with anyone on a serious basis again.

stick to them having their own place and meeting / staying over.

this living together thing doesn't work for me.

think of all the lovely things you get to do without a 2nd thought.

Oh yes good point, I'm not sure I would want to live with anyone.

Meh, things ok. Download may be coming round.

I have resolved not to become smitten, only to smite.

Oh and to make use of Mattarse at any opportunity.

what or who is mattarse?

do you mean download the music festival?

Download was a bloke from January - we met up a couple of times, but then I went slightly nuts at him and he decided maybe not to continue it . Plus he caught on to the Carrot love. We've kept in touch, talk on MSN most nights. He's just gone home again (we were dozing off). It is weird with him - v little attraction appearance-wise but that spark is there.

Mattarse. He started off as just Matt, but his arse is a thing of wonder so his name morphed. He is a 21yr old personal trainer... He tends to live in my phone, rarely shows up, but when he does it is incredible. Total mess, no way relationship material, but I cannot resist him.

Hi all,

Have just had some really sad news, am knocked for six. My oldest friend's dad has just died suddenly from a stroke. I remember him lecturing us on our appearance when we were teenagers but still letting us drink his wine. Me chauffering him and his mates in his car when they had been out. I lived with them for a bit when I first graduated, he was wonderful.

She is devastated, it is so very sad

xxxxxxxxxxxx

elasta, sorry for you and your friend. I'm sure you'll be a great support for her.

Thanks all, am going to call her later, she is too upset to talk atm. Just wish I wasnt so far away

Place marking, NomeansNo, have an idea but not 100% who you are.

Hope everyone is OK. I'm still seeing EV, I enjoy his company but don't envisage anything major.

welcome back NMN
you've been much missed!
so sorry to hear that things didn't work out with dp but knowing you you'll soon get your life back on track
offering you a lgefor later!
or a{bombay sapphire emoticon}!
xx

ASBM what's happening with you. Are you still with DP, did we miss the wedding etc. Questions, questions and can NMN pm me to confirm who she is.

yy still with dp
no date set as yet as poss redundancy looms for him,so things on hold for now
anyhoow what's happening with your new bloke?
sounds as tho you're enjoying it!
nice to see that many of us long term posters have decent men in our lives,even die hard cynic kdk
would be good to hear of some action for monty,scl,ninah and sponge!!

hi asbm I saw your name pop up on active convos! don't have much to say on thread as my love life is a morgue, and - worse perhaps - I no longer care!
sorry about dp, so many friends have had the shadow of redundancy loom, a good friend's husband lost his job last winter, but luckily has found a new one after plenty of searching (late 40s, works in rather narrow field, so v anxious).
didn't see that kdk had gone over to The Sofa ...
I am you atm, hate (albeit without the pay scale lol). Am on waiting list for teacher training this year, or have place for next year, and going to focus on that for the time being. I hear it is a very hard year, followed by an equally hard nqt year, so am a bit apprehensive as to how I will cope. Been out and about today and bumped into lots of 'yummy' mums going on about how they are doing baking with their dc, and I am fit to drop as it is, so have been ignoring mine while they play in the garden. Also I am thinking about a very short, very budget holiday at Easter. I have never been abroad on my own and it's about time I did.

sorry, I am you, HATE, atm!

oh I did say that. Tired out!

and I dunno who you are nmn but we need some more at the bar, so yy leave the sofa!
you sound lovely, I ought to know you, I like the but your clue is pants, we are all European now innit!

ninah - what do you mean about to drop? did you get a bun in oven? if so is it on off train loving fella?

asbm - really glad to hear you are still with dp. we went through a redundancy. one of the factors that caused us to get in this mess. he was expecting me to support him too much for it being early on. i did for a bit, then thought "fuck it, i'm not a cash machine" i didn't feel he was making enough of an effort. and i got a rollocking on another thread about other things he did and made me realise he realise was taking the piss.

adamschic... i dont know who you are to pm. plus i haven't paid my subs so cant. i possibly had you on msn before. but i dont use it anymore.give me a clue and i'll pm you.

ninah.... superman, comic book guy.. etc etc.. you know who i am yet?

elasta - so sorry to hear that. xx hope you are well otherwise.

flame - you sound like your having fun! thats exactly how it should be!
