Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Lol no, it was Giger on our night out. It was accidental bleeding, the hit was intentional. He was telling some girl that she had great cheekbones, I told him off for hitting on girls with me sat next to him (he wasn't and I was joking).

I am not doing well with staying away from Smurf. Bloody facebook. Although to be fair I've barely heard from Giger and he normally texts lots.

I dunno this whole thing is messed up. I have been told in the grown up world you have to make some announcement about being exclusive or something, but I still feel like I am cheating on both of them when I am actually doing nothing apart from talking to one of them!

Wouldn't be able to work with someone I was having relations with - would drive me nuts :o

Monty27 · 18/04/2011 21:41

Oh I see.

Yep, it's a little frustrating

He has asked me to take half day off with him tomorrow but I've said no. Don't want to sound too available now do I? I did do it the other week so can't seem too keen I feel.

Flame · 18/04/2011 21:44

Yup, well done on your restraint.

I am doing very well with keeping my distance from Smurf. I am absolutely not at all seeing him tomorrow evening

Monty27 · 18/04/2011 21:50

Betty79 · 18/04/2011 21:50

haha yes monty keep him keen

flame-poor giger lol, as for the not seeing his kids I would have to agree that would be a bit of a worry for me but then every situation is different. And as for smurf lol

snape-sorry to hear about your mum

Dont have much to report from me, still chatting to fireman all others have dissapeared but am not that bothered, been to busy to be thinking about it. One of my friends has been on the phone tonight and omg I think she's met more weirdos in about 3 months than I ever did online dating over the past couple of years! wish i could share some of her stories, but better not!

Monty27 · 18/04/2011 21:53

Betty - go on, spill, there's hardly anybody about

Flame · 18/04/2011 22:05

Ooh yes, tis just us here.

is the ideal emoticon for all smurf related things. I know he is a bad idea, and I also know I am stupid and won't be talked out of it, so best go with the

The not seeing kids with Giger - one set I could understand, but two sets makes me , and he has made no mention of paying for them at all iyswim

elastamum · 18/04/2011 22:10

The kids thing would be a red flag for me flame I am always curious how men treat their kids and if they dont have them as a priority it puts me right off. My university friend and I fell out when he started moaning about child support. I gave him a lecture and after that just didnt fancy him at all.

Flame · 18/04/2011 22:13

I know. His version of events (which I won't go into) sounds reasonable, but the mother in me is doubtful - and was before the whole Smurf thing kicked off again

Betty79 · 18/04/2011 22:29

oooh two sets of kids he doesnt see. now that def would be a red flag tbh but again u never know

as for my friend she would kill me lol but......well there is one bloke she has been chatting too and she spotted him out on the town when we were out a couple of weekends ago, and he told her it wasnt him his name was something different , he was later tagged in that bars pics lol he has now contacted her yest asking if he could stop at her house wtf!

then there is one that stood her up, he has come back after 2 weeks and contacted her with this long story about working for a high class bank, being followed home and having to be escorted by the police everywhere for the past 2 weeks and the police also took his phone and screened all his messages (even those messages on a iphone app as on this app you can see when someone has read your message)

Flame · 18/04/2011 22:33

oooh now that is weird and beats a lot of our lunatics!!

Hatesponge · 18/04/2011 22:36

the not seeing kids is a bit of a red flag for me as well tbh. along similar lines am always a bit at blokes who go on at length from the outset about how evil their exs are....

monty well done on the restraint! i would def have weakened and taken the afternoon off :)

think am giving out some sort of pheromones...either that or the weight loss is starting to pay off , man in shop yesterday was def flirting with me, and one at the till today (different shop) was v helpful (he went and swapped my eggs for me as on close inspection one was cracked...this was in Lidl where you don't expect that sort of service usually!)

of course i wasnt at all interested in either of them, and instead have been stalking WM a bit on FB again today, which is pointless as he wouldnt look twice at me unless i turn myself into one of the only way is essex girls, which isnt going to happen!

OP posts:

Flame · 18/04/2011 22:42

lol @ stalking WM. It isn't stalking. It is taking a keen interest.

Yay for attention though!

The not seeing kids thing irked me, but I figured since I was only out for a bit of fun rather than a relationship it wasn't really anything to do with me, but since getting to know him a little, just fun doesn't seem likely.

Hatesponge · 18/04/2011 22:51

lol, I like taking a keen interest! He's put a photo up of his parents when they were young. Can now see where he gets his looks from :)

I think I'd be the same re kids if not looking for relationship, however if fun now unlikely guess that changes things....

this is why I can't cope with men in RL and just stalk them on the net instead. Safer, if slightly limited!

aurorastargazer · 19/04/2011 07:47

sorry sponge i really must read posts properly before i actually post them

Flame · 19/04/2011 08:29

I have a radar? Is that the same as following my knickers?

Hair being chopped today. V excited.

elastamum · 19/04/2011 09:17

Flame!!! just spat my tea all over the computer

elastamum · 19/04/2011 09:21

ASBM. GW still living with ex partner, house up for sale, not selling (neither is mine BTW), could all be there for some time....Still, he is welcome at mine and seems happy to come here which makes life easy for me.

Flame · 19/04/2011 11:02

lol! :o

Flame · 19/04/2011 11:02

lol! :o

Flame · 19/04/2011 11:48

i had forgotten about gw still with ex at home. is it weird?

I am sat in the hairdressers with bleach going on.

Barely heard from Giger yesterday and nothing today. He's not mentioned seeing me again. Would make my life a lot easier if he's not interested in me tbh.

elastamum · 19/04/2011 12:26

Hi Flame, It is much less of an issue than it would seem. He is one of the most laid back and reasonable people I have ever met, it would take a lot to get him going.

Obviously, I am not going round to his anytime soon, but I am down that way on business a fair bit soo we get to stay together in hotels which is much more fun

elastamum · 19/04/2011 12:27

Hows the colour??!!
