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!

good, i hope he does back off

god i hate men like that

I hope he does too, lou. I won't hold my breath just yet, because I thought I had got rid of him a few weeks back, but it didn't last long. However, I am hoping that mentioning ex H may stop him hassling me. As it happens, stalker man is bigger than my ex, so probably wouldn't be that worried if he actually met him!

He has just text me again & asked if I want to go out on Saturday night. (Man I went out with last night, not stalker!)
He has offered to take me for a meal & a drink in some quiet bar he knows, which beats seeing some Bourne film I guess!

Haven't got back to him yet, but I am thinking about it.

He says he is playing cricket near me, so could pick me up after, and take me to some place near where he lives.
I would definitely get a cab home if I do decide to go, and the boys are with their dad on Saturday, so there is nothing stopping me there. I just don't know!

Sounds like you should go for it, PC. Although if you're still not feeling the spark after this date, it might be better to slow things down?

yes i agree, go on this one and hten you will know one way or another if you want ot see him again

I have agreed to go on Saturday night, and will take it from there.

Not sure about this spark business. It is hard for me to feel a major spark with anyone I don't yet know that well, and in a way it all still feels strange for me because he is the very first man I have been out with other than ex H, for nearly 12 years! he is so very different from H in so many ways (I know this isn't a bad thing in itself!), and it is kind of taking me a while to get my head round it all!
I'm explaining this really badly, but I know what I'm trying to say!

I've always been bad for not giving men a chance at all, so there must be something for me to be agreeing to date number 3!

i've agreed to see someone tonight, but now dd1 has had an accident so i am waiting to see how she feels, before i cancel or not

PC if you're having fun then go for it!

Lou whats dd1 done?

I think he seems a really nice bloke, but I don't feel I really know him that well yet.

At the moment it is just a few harmless nights out, but not sure if anything more will come of it because our lives are too different.
His parents have a home in the French Alps, and he goes on lots of skiing holidays.
He has a relaxed child free lifestyle, very unlike myself!
I am just seeing it as a few evenings out with a bit of male company atm!

Is your DD ok, lou?

she tripped over the back stepp, fell and smashed her head into the door frame opposite

Oh poor thing, that sounds nasty. How is she?

Ouch Lou Poor dd

PC -my bf was childfree and has spent 3 weeks in the caribbean and 2 in new york this year and yet actually seems to want to come on a caravan holiday with us to Scotland in October so people do change their minds about what they want from life

Well that is good to hear!

This guy doesn't seem in the slightest put off by the fact I have two children, but I was listening to him talk about his holidays & his general lifestyle, with his only commitment being a little dog, and thought how very different our lives were!

He is off on holiday for 2 weeks on Monday, so suggested Saturday night as he won't be around for a while.

I thought that when we started but he seems to just fit in with us

How long have you been together, Nymph?

2 months

Well if he is keen to go on a caravan holiday with you & your children after two months, I think that's a very good sign!

have known each other a year and chatted a lot in that time, so he did know what he was getting himself in for!
Ijust didn't expect it to be so fast ! Totally swept off my feet

she seems ok, big bump on her head, bruise on her cheek, she has an ice pack for the swelling and a hot water bottle on her neck where she strained her neck

it doesnt look as bad as i was expecting actually, so she has been lucky

also i forgot to add i am waiting for my date to come and get me, as dd is insistent she is ok for me to go out

How did you meet?

I met this guy briefly back in December, and we exchanged a few texts, but absolutely nothing happened, and I said I wouldn't meet up with him until I had moved, so we agreed not to have anymore communication until then.

I moved into my own house in May, and text him my new mobile number a month or so back.
He said he would buy me a drink if he saw me out, but we were never out at the same time, so he text a few weeks back & asked me out for a drink.
I thought he seemed really nice from the conversations we had, so decided to give it a go!

Oooh, I was wondering if you would be ok for your date, lou!
Make sure you report back!

Glad your DD is a bit better than expected, but it sounds like she has had one heck of a tumble, poor girl!

me? he is my boss
