I have agreed to a second date on Sunday, but.....

[Pinkchampagne]

he wants to take me to see a spy thriller!!!
I can barely contain my excitement!

Thanks for the tip Lou. Goes to show how naive I am - I would think a person wouldn't actually need to specify no porn (especially badly written stuff!) in their profile.

Have you posted a picture of yourself? I'm never sure about that part of the equation.

yes, most people including myself wont reply to people with no pics

you'd be surprised at some of the opening messages you can receive

i dont reply to any that are explicit, but it hasnt done any harm stating i am not willing to receive it

Thanks for advice Lou. Maybe I'll have a look over the weekend, and see if I can get my courage up to join you lot. I'm certainly not meeting anyone with my current routine, so a different approach is required!

well yes thats why i joined

if i go out i am usually with male friends so i never meet anyone that way

looks like myself and hte kids are being taken out for dinner , so i'd better be gettign ready!

this guy reckons he is coming to see me after work this evening, again, but i think i am too cynincal as i always assume thats a brush off

i still haven't made it to actually going on a date..starting to think i won't either

that bloke suddenly decided to send me a message last night saying zippi i don't think long distance dating is a good idea

actually i thinkm he spent all day looking for other people and got one..or my no staying the night put him off

lou if you look within 25 miles of leamington on plentyoffish they are all minging

you mean he has cancelled on you?

what a twat

this guy i saw about 6 weeks ago one weekend , but we kept up some communication until something annoyed me and i deleted his number in my annoyance, so i have met him before

he says he wants to have a relationship with me, but then sometimes they say that because they think women want to hear that, so we will see if he disappears again or not

he wont get another chance if he does tho

I presume so

glad i didn't get to meet him and especially glad i didn't stay with him..

yours sounds nice lou

i find 95% want kids however old they are

and they are all so yuk ugly

sounds liek you had a lucky escape, you would have been terribly bored, keep telling yourself that

he does seem nice but im going to see what happens

funnily enough he was saying to me on thurs , how he had decided he didnt want kids of his own, which suits me as i have been sterilised

well i probably would

we can find you the right one, it just takes a while, and int he meantime you can treat the other dates you will have as a learning curve

so what are your specifications?

ooh zippi i found one who looks nice for you in leamington, but i dont know what age you like

Your new man sounds like he is very keen, lou!

Zippi - I can't believe that guy cancelled on you - what a git. Agree that you probably had a lucky escape there though.

I went round my sisters with the boys last night & stayed the night. We were up late, talking & drinking wine, and I was woken rather early by DS2, so feeling almost too tired to go out tonight!
He offered again for me to stay overnight in his spare room. Think I will get myself a cab home!

lol @ spare room

i am still not convinced that my ym is keen, i'm more inclined to think he just wanted a couple of days away from his usual routine, we shall see

what time are you out?

Yes, I'm not convinced at all about this "spare room" offer!

He is picking me up at 7pm, and seen as the children are already with their dad, I am about to have an early bath, while I think about what I'm going to wear!

Your young man sounds very very keen to me, lou!

ooh not that long away then!

well we shall see wrt my ym, havent heard from him today and i would kind of like to know if he is coming back tonight or not as he said he was

still i wont fret upon it, i'm cooking for myself and 2 kids anyway (other 2 are away overnight), so i'm not making any special effort

I'm sure he'll get back to you, lou. What's he up to today?

I haven't told my ex H that I'm out with a man tonight - I have just told him I'm out with a friend. I feel almost like I'm doing something bad, which is ridiculous! I think it is because I know my ex wouldn't like it at all, even though he has done more than just go out for a drink with someone since we separated.

oh he's working, he took yesterday off so has to work today, so he will be busy

i'm not going to sit and worry, i guess i am just a little more cynical than i used to be thats all

i dont think you have to tell your ex one single thing about your personal life now, what you do is your business alone

my ex could never get that

My ex is a bit like that too, lou. When he's been round to pick up the boys, he has commented on me flipping down my phone when he appeared, as if I had something to hide, but it was just that I had finished reading a text, and my texts are none of his business anyway!
He asked who I was going out with tonight, and I said "A friend"

Best I start thinking about getting myself ready now!

my ex used to charge up to people he thought i was carrying on with and start a confrontation

anyway it seems i underestimated the ym , as he called and said he will be here at 8

have fun tonight pc

Oooh, another good night for you then!

I've just burnt my blimmin finger on my GHDs while getting ready - not a good start to the evening!!

lol well we wont be going out as my in situ babysitter is in london visiting her bf, but i do only have 2 kids tonight as dd2 is on a sleepover, which is nice

so dvd and drinking booze i guess, as he isnt working tomorrow

Sounds like an ideal evening!
