Nothing here either, Nutty.
Haven't tried smooch. Is it worth a look?

singledadofthree · 19/04/2008 23:33

KatieScarlett2833 · 20/04/2008 04:51

Well, according to my other thread, you make one. It can be done, I promise

Pinkchampagne · 20/04/2008 09:54

Excellent, lou! Keep us updated.

lou33 · 20/04/2008 12:46

will do

davidtennantsmistress · 21/04/2008 08:33

sounds like things are going well lou.

nutty - don't worry wait until you can afford it - I don't like responding to emails straight away anyhow so will appear that you're v busy and don't sit online all the time. (least that's my thoughts! lol)

zippitippitoes · 21/04/2008 08:41

sounds good lou

have you sent any messages again nutty

lostdad · 21/04/2008 08:56

davidtennantsmistress - `I don't like responding to emails straight away anyhow so will appear that you're v busy and don't sit online all the time.'

  • I think this sort of thing, too. Although saying that - I also think `Hang on - I am sitting on my own, pretending I am busy...and so is my potential `dream woman' - and we're both sitting a few miles apart waiting for the other one to respond'.

Anyway...I spoke to the girl I saw last week and told her about me being divorced and having a son and she seemed cool with it. The problem I have is that because I do have a son - and the stupidity where contact is involved - I have to deal with her actions, so I can't forget her as much as I'd like to. Which is not good, as it seems like I can give the impression I am still interested in her (my ex)...which I definitely ain't!

davidtennantsmistress · 21/04/2008 09:05

I know what you're saying LD, this time around I was actually sat at my computer when an IM came thru from DP wanting to chat, within 10 mins we were on MSN and the same evening on cam chatting. so this time it was good. but not always iycwim.

re the ex/contact thing - tbh I think if a woman is genuine and really interested she will understand. At least that's what I think, esp in the early days of everything. this is what I was saying about dating another parent earlier. Other parents understand that you'd want to be a part of your son's life etc. luckily for the minute DP understands my situation with XH, and is fine with it - it's complicated to a degree, & I didn't think anyone would understand/accept it but he seems to be fine.

i'm now having issues thou over the whole he's keen i'm keen but i'm scared of getting in too deep/hurt again so it's not easy this side of the fence either! lol.

MascaraOHara · 21/04/2008 09:15

Morning guys.

Lou, that sounds very good.

I'm tired.

Not sure I can be doing with all this activity lol..

Friday night was nice.

Saturday night went out with friend got drunk, snogged a rugby player he asked for my number, gave it to him. he wants to take me out during this week. I think he was nice looking but worried beer goggles may have been at work.

Have a date on Wedneday with same guy from last Wednesday (secretly looking forward to this)

Have a date on Saturday.

I feel like crap today, I think though I might be coming down with a cold. dd asked me over breakfast this morning what a 'snog guy' was lol.. I think she may have been ear-wigging a conversation I was having yesterday.

PinkChampage and DTM.. am quite looking forward to meeting someone to go through both of those stages with.. hopefully the sitting on the fence one and then the taking the plunge bit too.

PC, how are your mad parents now?

CrackerOfNuts · 21/04/2008 10:21

I am giving up again I think.

Have had no replies to any messages that I have sent, and no messages from anyone that i'd be interested in, even if I weren't being picky.

Good luck to those of you still looking, or those with dates etc.

lou33 · 21/04/2008 12:00

lol moh , you snogged him!

he wasnt a nob then?

solo · 21/04/2008 12:11

Don't agree with 'the ones that smile all the time...' being the ones to look out for. My exh used to smile all the time and he robbed me blind! real charmer with the ladies but a shopaholic and used the bank of solo all the time.

Met my Dp on the internet...lovely person. Also met some real arseholes on there. Luck of the draw wherever you meet them me thinks!

MascaraOHara · 21/04/2008 15:06

Lol Lou, juts to calrify for the MN readers.. it was a different rugby player... must be the time of year, bringing them all out. He has text me today too.

Haven't exchanged numbers with PoF rugby bloke yet, trying to decide where to book a table though... Am going to be a bloater with all these meals out

CrackerOfNuts · 21/04/2008 16:21

I have today sent a message to a rugby player too

Tis my last attempt and then I am giving up.

MascaraOHara · 21/04/2008 16:22

I think it is open season for rugby players lol

CrackerOfNuts · 21/04/2008 16:25

My maths teacher once actually wrote 'Emma would do better if she stopped looking out of the window at the boys playing rugby'

MascaraOHara · 21/04/2008 16:29

lol

zippitippitoes · 21/04/2008 19:49

all sounds very busy on the dating front

we got up at 5 yesterday and dd1 said so you finally got out of bed then

tortoise · 21/04/2008 20:48

I have had more messages on smooch since i joined a few days ago than i have had on POF since January! lol!

MascaraOHara · 22/04/2008 22:24

davidtennantsmistress · 22/04/2008 22:44
