The guy from school that I was madly in love with when I was eleven, and who has accepted my friend request on facebook, and sent me a message, will now fall madly in love with me.

Just out of curiousity, did you check his relationship status on his profile???

Just being practical for starters....

McDreamy · 28/02/2008 19:13

ooh I hope so!

McDreamy · 28/02/2008 19:14

Am just going off to find out if the boy I was madly in love with is on facebook!!!

nutcracker · 28/02/2008 19:20

Status is single

I'm only joking anyway, he is a single bloke with no ties etc etc so I'm not under any illusions that he will be remotly interested in me. Nice to have a chat though, has been years since I last spoke to him.

sending you good karma, hope you snag ya man

nutcracker · 29/02/2008 16:36

Well he replied, told me what he has been up to for all these years. No kids, not married etc.
Turns out he now lives in the next road to my dad which is a bit spooky.
He has asked me about my kids and how i find it being a single mum, which I thought was nice of him to ask as i'm sure he probably isn't that interested.
He signed off by saying he hoped me and my family were well and to keep in touch.

Aww how sweet. He definatly wasn't that sweet when I knew him LOL.

LOL Aimsmum, I thought exactly the same thing, along with 'shit the times i have gone there looking like shite'.

Have replied, with a couple of very subtle flirty bits, and asked him how long he has been single etc.

Tis nice to have a chat with him if nothing else anyway.

why wouldnt he be interested in you?

flirt damn you!

nutcracker · 29/02/2008 17:15

LOL

Well he is young free and single, can pop off on holiday etc whenever he fancies and basically isn't gonna want someone with 3 kids is he ?

I tried to keep it slightly funnyish and did flirt ever so slightly.

God I used to be such a good flirt at school, what happened LOL.

lou33 · 29/02/2008 17:20

why not?

give him a chance to make his own mind up

THIS is why you reckon you are not worth anyones time, because you dont believe it yourself, so dont give them a chance

There are loads of men who would be overjoyed to be with you, just stop putting yourself down !

nutcracker · 29/02/2008 17:33

Ok Lou, will stop thinking the worst, I promise.

I did ask him what he was doing at the weekend, but not in a 'fancy taking me out' kinda way LOL.

OP posts:
lou33 · 29/02/2008 17:33

you must

flirt and dont worry about it, you might even like it and the response you get

nutcracker · 29/02/2008 17:38

Yeah, I think I am just worried I wil get rejected again. Have already been down the road of a bloke saying yeah i like you, but the kids thing is a no no.

OP posts:
lou33 · 29/02/2008 17:40

but you are thinking way too far ahead

there is nothing wrong with just going and meeting someone and having a few drinks and a laugh and seeing how it progresses

you cant only ever go out with a guy assuming its long term, so just enjoy it for the moment

nutcracker · 29/02/2008 17:46

True

Will update if I get any good messages LOL.

OP posts:
lou33 · 29/02/2008 19:01

good luck, remember its fun, and you have nothing to prove

if anything they have to prove they are worth your time, you are the one with kids to juggle and more commitments

I thought about that Aimsmum, but dunno.

His hotmail addy is on his fb page and I did think of just adding it to my msn and seeing if it worked, but thats a bit cheeky I suppose.

lou33 · 29/02/2008 20:25

just do it woman!

lou33 · 29/02/2008 20:25

if he didnt want people randomly adding him he wouldn't have put it online for everyone to see!

nutcracker · 29/02/2008 20:27

Hmmm

Will have a think whilst putting kids to bed LOL.
