lol.
yeah. he did actually say that.

an amazing insight into the non workings of the male mind.
certainly explains why i still get random texts/emails off people who ive said no too.
I got very very angry at one the other week. he emailed me.( from a new email address that wasnt blocked) to tell me he had a new car.
i asked who he was and he was like ' we had a drink last summer'

i didnt reply. so i got another message the next day.. a general conversation one and i got very pissed off and said while it was lovely to know he had a new car, i could not work out why he felt the need to email me, a person he spent 1 hour with, last summer... about it.

i didnt get another reply.. :)

obviously fishing the same hole.

men are cocks arent they!

Snapespeare · 04/04/2011 14:16

he thinks you're the type of woman who is impressed by a new car! :)

yes, yes they are. with very notable exceptions.

lilacisinlove · 04/04/2011 14:47

snape, you have let me down.

Had a weird mothers day, mostly childless, some fab TLOML moments, but several hours of absolute horror and distress due to unexpected visit from best friend who told me her marriage is over and all about the shite she's been putting up with for last three years. She lives 3 miles away, our girls are BFFs and I still had no idea at all Sad

:( Lilac

Gotta say I love the fishing in the same hole when you've had a nibble :o

Snapespeare · 04/04/2011 20:15

PM got his CD and is delighted with me (preen!) 'oh my god! you're officially awesome! thank you so much! our soundtrack for the summer'.

we have a soundtrack! Confused

Flame · 04/04/2011 20:36

:o (and Confused with you)

Do you already have an "our song" that he would agree on if asked?

Flame · 04/04/2011 20:36

(do not ask him!)

Flame · 04/04/2011 21:11

Someone is trying to organise a 20 years later school reunion. Eep. I have til sept to look gorgeous Wink.

NOmeansNO · 04/04/2011 21:48

i have a personal rule. never have sex with someone who say they want to "fuck me"

infact... i tend to follow it up with a slap in the face and never speaking to again.

you wouldn't allow someone to say that to your face. so why allow them(or think it even the slightest acceptable) to do it via text/email/phone.

...
p.s asked out for coffee by beachbum by any of you who remember him. Smile

Flame · 04/04/2011 21:53

I like the sound of someone called beachbum :o

It would depend on the circumstance with the fucking tbh. I quite like being told that at times.

FairyLightsForever · 04/04/2011 23:11

NMN, I (vaguely) remember beachbum... can't remember details though.

Aurora, sorry about your ex, I am eternally grateful at how good my ex is about both money and visiting DD.

Snape, Grr at trainbitch too! I loved the videos you posted on FB, your kids are fab! Confused @ PM too, it's such a shame he can't wake up and see what an amazing, gorgeous woman he has right under his nose.

Took, do not meet boatman, he sounds like an utter cock and a presumptuous one at that.
Of course all of the men you meet/ chat to on dating sites want sex, it's at least part of the reason why they're there (it's at least part of the reason why any of us want to meet men)... Plus, you're gorgeous!

BUT there is a difference between the nice blokes that, yes, want to shag you, but because you're pretty and intelligent (and all the other things that we all are) and the kind of bloke, like boatman, who wants a living blow up doll.
I agree with NMN on how to deal with the latter.

Btw, TG was brilliant, I had such a good night, wish I could go out dressed like that every time I go out, I felt so confident in what I was wearing that I walked my mate to the night bus without my coat on! The club itself seemed quite tame compared to what I was expecting... maybe I'm just not that easily shocked! I will put photos on my profile, once I actually get hold of some (forgot to take any myself, so I'm waiting for my mates to put some up on FB.)

I also had a lovely Mother's Day surprise, firstly in the form of being given a lie in (very welcome as I didn't go to bed til 5am!) and then being woken with chocs and roses (which ex had taken DD out to buy on sunday morning, to keep her from coming and waking me!)

Flame · 04/04/2011 23:25

Oooh yes - I whack a corset on and feel like I can take on the world!

Told POF guy I am not in the right heart place to do a drink atm. Been nosing through his fb, he is more appealing on his photos actually out doing stuff. I was anti-adding potentials on fb originally, but I feel you can get to know someone a lot better by the crap they put on there. He says to let him know as/when I get sorted.

tookoolforskool · 05/04/2011 07:49

Fairy - glad you liked TG :) cant wait to see the pics.... and yeah.. thats the impression i was getting that boatman just thinks women should be like blow up dolls really. Im not going to meet him... and im really not gorgeous. not at all.

Last night, at 1030 i got a text from somone i exchanged a few messages with from match way back in jan. Asking how ive been and saying he would still really like to take me out for a drink or dinner. Do you think i should give him a chance.. or maybe ask for his msn... or exchange a few emails with him?? Or - do i think hes a loser for keeping texting somone without getting any reply... and for using the word hunny. which, and i cant help it, fucking pisses me off.

Of course, there is also buddist..... but im still not sure how i feel about the whole buddist thing? ( and thats very un pc of me to say isnt it)

sincitylover · 05/04/2011 14:26

where do you get your corsets from (anyone) - have fancied one for ages.

FairyLightsForever · 05/04/2011 15:52

Sin I got my entire outfit from a shop in Glasgow, as did one of my friends. One wall of the shop was all rails of corsets. I cheated and got one with plastic boning. My friend had a proper one with steel 'bones', it cost about £50 which is really good. My other friend made hers Shock but she is a damn fine needlewoman.

I think what I really loved was the corset and Doc Martens combo! Grin

Took, i have you as a facebook friend, i've seen your photos and I'm telling you that you are gorgeous. So there!

Snapespeare · 05/04/2011 16:07

trainman update : very quickly - was pi$$ing with rain this morning and I was drenched, no TM when I got to the station and no seats on the train, he jumped on at the last minute, smiled at me and stood next to me for the entire journey. everytime we accidentally brushed against each other i swear i blushed. I was clearly thinking about shagging him for the gloriously delayed, very s l o w journey. Around about 10 minutes before the end, he turned his back on me - i can deal with this as it's uncomfortable standing up for a delayed journey, i was arguably a bit damp (ladies! please! rain! Wink ) and I got a smile. Blush!

happy texts from PM last night. am not a twat after all, am 'super sweet'.

Snapespeare · 05/04/2011 16:10

Took, you remind me of Daisy Lowe, so shut up! :)

SCL, corsets are amazing, I've a black steel boned waspie that i wear very occasionally. I got mine from ebay. FLF which shop in Glasgow? down behind st enochs? theres a few alt-clothes shops there that are quite reasonable. :)

lilacisinlove · 05/04/2011 16:59

Well done snape! I dare you to hand him your number next time you meet.

And obviously he turned away for fear of you noticing the effect you were having on him in the groin area.

tookoolforskool · 05/04/2011 18:58

yay snape... you just need to talk to each other... do you think hes shy?
Glad PM liked tyhe cd too.. :)

and hahahahaha at daisy lowe. i wish!!!

fairy - cant believe your friend got one for £50! thats just a bit of a bargin! I had a most beautiful rubber one.. cost about £200.

FairyLightsForever · 05/04/2011 19:02

Woohoo for TM! I agree with lilac... I bet there were stirring loins going on (for him as well as you!)

Cyber- Kings Court, off Kings Street. It was the first time I'd been shopping in Glasgow and i went alt-clothes shopping- Hooray!
The corset and skirt together cost me £35 Grin I don't really have enough figure to warrant a steel boned one, so I figured I'd save my money, which is good, cos TG is back here in October, so I can start planning my next outfit GrinGrin

Flame · 05/04/2011 19:08

My corset was £80, but it was mate's rates - custom made to fit me. She normally does them for about £100 (www.straygoddess.co.uk I think)

Snapespeare · 05/04/2011 19:34

i vaguely know the woman that owns cyber. :) they're very lovely in there. If we ever get a FIA meetup it has to be corsets. ;)

please don't make me give my number to TM. please! I might graduate to 'hello'. i think that's all you're getting ladies (unlike TM! Shock!) I'm in late tomorrow, so there won't be an update. poor TM will be walking to the station tomorrow going, 'christ TM! don't get a semi! don't get a semi!' and there will be no-one for him to be turgid at...

:) that he stood next to me. think he is a bit shy, but thats better than a player i think. He took a long time this morning rolling his sleeves up - he has verrrrrryyyyyy nice arms. think it might have been to show he is tattooless. (!)

when he brushed against me i got that weird-butterfly-lower-stomach-pull-of-lust. Grin

Flame · 05/04/2011 20:06

Slip your number in his pocket woman!!!!

TitsalinaBumSquash · 05/04/2011 20:29

I have had a shit day today, I got woken up at 6am with a shitty text from my ex who went delving through my computer history when looking after the boys and discovered okcupid and went off the flipping deep end. I am so sick of having to hide stuff from him, I feel so creeped that he checks up on me.

I am giving up on relationships full stop for a while and I'm just gonna enjoy hanging out with my friends and my boys.

Flame · 05/04/2011 20:35

Argh bloody man Tit :(

I have had a lovely hug from Mattarse. He looks damn good in a suit.

Had a random half hour chat call with XH as well. One of those moods where I remember why we get on.
