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!

[Pinkchampagne]

I know what you mean, LBT. We had pretty much a year of living together after the decision to separate & it nearly gave me a bloody breakdown - it was the hardest time ever, so the actual move itself wasn't as traumatic as I feared it would be because a lot of pressure was released IYSWIM?

[lifebeginstoday]

I understand that completely PC. I got to the stage where I was throwing up every morning through sheer anxiety and stress. My hair was falling out too.
And now that's all but stopped. Nothing was harder than going through that, so the actual moving out bit (he left, with an injunction) was relatively easy.

[lifebeginstoday]

Actually it wasn't easy, but it was a short lived pain, rather than the7 months of hell which preceded it. And the relief afterwards was and is immense.

[Dinosaur]

pinkchampagne, enjoy yourself on sunday]

lifebegins - you are very inspiring!

[Pinkchampagne]

Sounds awful, LBT. I can imagine you feel a huge weight has been lifted from you now. Enjoy your freedom!

[Pinkchampagne]

I will report back, Dino, and let you know if the film was better than expected!

[lou33]

i know not of this second date thing, everyone i meet fails at teh first

[Dinosaur]

I look forward to it, pinkchampagne!

[Pinkchampagne]

As in fails your standards, Lou, so you decide against further dates?
You always seem to have a date!

[Pinkchampagne]

I will report back as soon as I get in Sunday night, so look out for me if you're awake!

[lou33]

i do have a lot of dates, but they are never with teh same guy lol

i just cant be arsed after a few hours, they start annoying me, mostly

[Pinkchampagne]

lol! I know what you mean, I am a bit of a nightmare for getting picky & can be easily put off by silly things, before getting to know someone that well!

I've got one guy being a bit strange & obsessive around me because I had a 10 min conversation with him about his children! (I know the children)
He is giving me the creeps, and I nearly started a thread about it.

Being single can make you feel a little vunerable when you get people like that!

[Pinkchampagne]

How do you get rid of them? What excuses do you come up with?

[lou33]

i just usually say meeting them made me realise i am not ready to date

the last date i had, i couldnt wait for him to go in the end, now he wants to see me again, and invited me to a gig at the end of sept in s london, but i cant (honestly) as i have stuff on

i just have to tell him i am not ready to date anyone, as he seems to think we got on really well and will be doing it again

but he started annoying me and in the end he reminded me as a cross between jesus and a werthers original man, albeit younger

[Pinkchampagne]

LOL @ him looking like Jesus & the Werthers man!!

[lou33]

he did

put him in an elbow patched jacket and a pair of open toed sandals and he would have been right there

he seemed quite nice at first but i cant imagine seeing him again

[Blu]

I am now stifling laughter at the idea of Dono and I running round like henchwomen, Dino with a roll of carpet which she threatens to stuff in people's mouths like some kind of psycho!

But yes, we will get him if he is not kind!

And as for your exh and parents - it's quite simply none of thier damn business!

[Pinkchampagne]

How funny! He sounds a real good catch!!

I tend to come out with the "not ready" line too, but it is not stopping this strange stalker type bloke from pestering me everytime I walk through the town!
I am almost getting to the stage where I feel I might be a bit rude to him, which I wouldn't normally be like at all.

[Pinkchampagne]

You & Dino can be my bodyguards, Blu!!

[lou33]

sometimes you have to be blunt, which i can do, tho i do try and avoid it

however, if you feel pushed into it, then dont feel sorry for asserting yourself

[Blu]

oooh, blimey this stalker sounds a bit much, PC.
At least a werther's original is quite nice on a long car journey. Good toffees.

[Blu]

yes, blunt as in clear and direct.
Do you know him at all, or through anyone?

[lou33]

by the time i dropped him to his train i just wanted to smack him in the gob tho, his voice was irritating the hell out of me

[Pinkchampagne]

I've said no in a nice way, but he won't take no for an answer & hassles me in the middle of Sainsburys & everything! it's not good.

[Pinkchampagne]

I kind of knew him to say hello to, but that was all. he used to call me Gabby all the time because he thought I looked like that tennis player, but he seemed harmless enough. I never really spoke to him much, but he says he has fancied me for years & it is more than that now & he is now intrigued by me. Gives me the creeps a bit.
