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!

especially as i am broke!

right i almost let my bath overflow chatting on here!

i'm trying to cook ,mn, bath and tidy up a bit all at the same time

Multi tasking!

I am pretty much ready now. I went for the trouser option!

Hope you enjoy your night in with your sexy young man, lou!

thanks, have a wonderful time, dont forget to update !

Thanks - will update in the morning.

not sure when i will be online but will check this thread

Had quite a nice night last night, but he does seem a bit too keen. He asked if I wanted to go away for a weekend with him sometime, which I thought was a bit forward seen as we were only on our 3rd date!
I get a bit scared off when they seem too keen too soon!

Went to his house while he got ready, and went back at the end of the evening, where he once again offered for me to stay!
He said "You could stay in the spare room, or you could stay in my room just to chat and that, because I enjoy your company!"
I laughed & said "You have had my company all evening, so don't give me that old chestnut!"
I didn't take him up on his offer!

glad it went ok PC, it would be a shame for him to ruin things by being pushy, im sure when the time is right you will let him know.

i'm glad it went well, he sounds keen doesnt he?

Too keen!!

just let it go at your pace, he probably needs some guidance from you

He's off on holiday for 10 days tomorrow morning, so won't be around for a while.

I don't know, I'm a bit of a nightmare & feel a bit confused because I'm not sure if I am ready to get into a relationship with anyone just yet, and he seems to like me quite a bit.
We met his friend last night, and he knew all about me in detail!

He does seem a lovely, genuine bloke, and my friend keeps on about him being a good catch, and that I will be lucky to find a better catch, but I don't know that I am as interested as he appears to be.
I am not sure if I want to get into a relationship yet, and him being so keen is scaring me off a bit.

then teh 10 days away will be good, and when you see him again you must say you want to take it slower, be honest with him

if he thinks anything of you he will let you set the pace

am off out with my new ym and ds1 in a min, the other 3 are out

we are just waiting on the rac fixing his tyre which has gone as flat as a pancake

Hope you're having a nice time with your young man, lou! He certainly seems very keen!

Think you are right in that the 10 days away will be a good thing, and that I need to have a talk with him when he gets back.

He seems a lovely bloke, and quite a gentleman - he even asked if he was ok to take my hand while we were out!

He is very different to my ex, which although not a bad thing in itself, feels very strange.
I think I need more time to get my head straight tbh.

it is odd when you start a new relationship, i agree

well this ym decided he was taking today off work as well, and working sat instead, so he is spending another day with us

he met one of my friends last night

Wow, things seem to be going very well between you & your new man, Lou!

we will see

he's gone now, i have to get ready for school terms starting and he has work to catch up on, but he should be coming back on saturday evening

Excellent Lou, PC just make sure things go at your pace , you may actually find you miss him when he is away?

It all sounds good, Lou!

I don't know what my problem is, Nymph - maybe it is all a bit soon for me still.

well even if it is , at least the good thing is it made you realise that

i wont get overly excited about this new guy yet, things can change between now and sat

I am a strange one aren't I?!

Lou - I feel pretty sure you will be seeing your new man on Sat - he seems very very keen!

no i dont think you are at all, i have felt the same in the past, honestly, though not after splitting with my exh , but with my exbf

Really?

It's odd - I don't feel I want ex H back, but he was the only man I have been out with or intimate with for the last 11 years, and to suddenly go out with someone else who is all of a sudden talking weekends away after a couple of dates...well, it feels a bit strange right now.

Other people seem to move on so easily, so I felt a bit odd!

i had no problem moving on after exh, but that was because i had grieved for my marriage for the 4 yrs before i think, so i started seeing people about 4m after we split

but i have found it harder after splitting with my bf, even tho i have had a lot of dates, they didnt really get me excited, you know?

but it has got easier , and now i think i do want to move on, even tho i will always have strong feelings for my exbf, because he did so much good for me, but i know he isnt coming back

I'm glad you are feeling better about it all now, lou, and like you are ready to move on.

We made the decision to separate last summer, but we lived together for nearly a year following the decision, so it often felt a bit surreal.
We eventually went our separate ways in May, when I moved into this house, and ex H stayed with my parents until his house was ready to move into.

This guy I have been on a few dates with, first approached me before Christmas, but I refused to meet him until I had moved into my own place, so we stopped any text contact until I got back to him to inform him of my new number.

I knew I wasn't ready for the first couple of months, but recently felt that maybe a few dates would do me good, and I guess they have, but after a couple of dates they start wanting more from you, and I don't know that I am mentally ready for that yet.
He is a lovely guy, and I don't want it to get to a stage where I could hurt him, and it's all panicking me a bit.
Am I making any sense, or do I sound a bit bonkers?
