please.....

Well I emailed my ex boyfriend last night and told him I had a babysitter on Saturday and did he fancy meeting up.

I've had a reply and although it is a bit rambly, I think the answer is yes. :o

Not sure I still fancy him but I figured it is good practice for me and it would be good to catch up.

singledadofthree · 23/05/2006 23:03

wow - you move fast - well done - hope it goes well, and you're right is good practice as it'll be comfortable and easy - and if you dont fancy him its a good night out - have fun :o

rickman · 23/05/2006 23:05

Wouldn't say I moved fast exactly. We have been emailing for about 18 months!

singledadofthree · 23/05/2006 23:11

oh well, you'll maybe be adventurous, sigh....and i missed out :o

rickman · 23/05/2006 23:14

haha, you don't seem too bothered. :o

singledadofthree · 23/05/2006 23:19

will wait for another update with baited breath - sorry for disappearing last night too - tamba is a temptress - not a dragon slayer

lou33 · 23/05/2006 23:36

wahey rickman!

rickman · 24/05/2006 21:27

I don't want to go now!

TambaTheDragonSlayer · 24/05/2006 21:28

Seriously? Or just nerves?

rickman · 24/05/2006 21:36

Don't know really. Just seems a bit pointless. I definitely don't fancy him and I'm worried that we will have nothing to say.
