I do like having a fancy, yet as nice as it is it really makes you realise you are on yuor own iyswim.

Like being single is my normal, and its ok, but you realise it would in fact be nice to have someone to cuddle. (and the rest)

i miss the company thing. dont get me wrong i do everything myself and i am way too much of a control freak to give the reins to someone else and i get massively claustrophic not to mention hugely commitment phobic as soon as i start to feel trapped but after a long day at work when your a bit tired or someone to tell you your beautiful even when your in trackies with your hair scraped back. thats nice. also i love to cook (i am a major feeder) and i love having someone special to cook for and to eat with. it does get a bit blah sometimes.

lol - so now all i need is a bloke who never mentions marriage, will disappear for a few days at a time but only when i want him to who loves my food. not asking much really!

yeah i did think about driving but i have a secret date pub round the corner from my house that i just love - wierdly i never took the ex there - must have known! I am well known in there cause my dad used to own it so its a safe location and means i can have a few in peace!!

i wont go in my local pub until the landlord leaves, on account of him being a a tosser, or else i would use that too

mind you, thinking about it maybe not, the gossip it caused used to drive me nuts

southsea?? oooh are you local to me then lou?

fawkoff - it's nice just to get out and have some company - and refreshing to have someone nice to talk to - provides a bit of escape for a spell. 2 months - ah after that long I was talking to someone intently, didn't go anywhere but was fun while it lasted lol.

pirate - guys early 20's - i'm mid 20]s now - and to me early 20's are trying to hard to impress for one thing - and one thing only - that doesn't interest me! oh and you do have a happy family - you don't need a man to be a happy family! remember that!

panda yes unfortunately I do - althou current intrest seems to actually get that I have other things going on etc and respects that it's hard work with a boy/is happy to work in with my time etc - ok for now - but will see how long it lasts! then again thou other's have been like ooh single mum when can I come to yours etc. or single mum bye just depends on the bloke - only one's which realise I have commitments (ie a child that needs my attention, a family that needs my attention and 2 dogs) actually make the grade for me to be remotely interested in them. good luck with it thou sounds like you have a gem there.

good luck pretty i'm sure it will go fine.

have just spent over an hour on the blower to the chap from yesterday - so the other's deffo out - if he can't have the decency to send more than a handful of messages then he can sod off.

lol. prettyfly - ah you sound like me! heres my list and according to my best male bud it doesn't work this way cos it's me getting what I want and giving nothing in return! lol. but I want someone to be about when I want, and for them to go when I don't, to have pleasent company a bottle of wine, fun at the bowling, laugh with each other etc - don't mind if I drag them around the shops and leave them stood outside while I try stuff on (can u tell what we did yesterday in between the pizza pub and bowling! lol). anyhow, i'd do the support/advice thing, but in the wise words of meridith on greys anatomy, I want romance I want fun I want flowers god damn it!!! I want tender kisses to be told i'm beautiful and be treated like a lady! is it that hard?? (oh and a drop dead sexy man with a body to die for tall, dark, and with a kick of dominance (not overly but alpha maleish) would be nice!)

oh and deffo meet somewhere public you're happy with (as in in your area - can mak a quick get away then and you know the little short cuts to hide in to avoid him! lol)

lol - so what i planned. see all i want at the moment is a nice peaceful rebound fling with lots of you know what and a little affection. i am not even close to over the ex as much as i want to be so i am no where near starting anything serious but some spoiling and to be treated like a woman - hell yes send that my way. and again it helps that he looks like david boreanaz!!!!!

davidtennantsmistress ..................that is EXACTLY what i want......i sooooo know i am goin to end up with a man in his early-mid 30s.....men my age (23) are still like rabbits, and do not interest me 1 bit.....me and my friend (been single longer than me) are going to throw ourselves out there and see what happens

lol. well put it this way i'm 26, and so far have met er 3 36 year olds (xp being one of them) 1 38 yr old, a 34 year old (total twat don't believe what he says - now isn't talking to me after telling him some home truths he didn't like!) er a 29 year old (my new best male bud - another time n place etc, and a 28 year old from yesterday - over all the 28/29 2 have been the best out of the bunch, and the most settled. seems odd to say it. In some respects i've found 35+ have too much baggage/too set in their ways etc, guess it depends what you want really!

I am panda yes - he's not- he's from winchester (I know another one from there!) but am thinking suits me fine - close enough to see when I want but far enough away for me to ignore for a few days when I don't! god that's wicked! lol.

pretty david! that's so the man i'm holding out for - well him vin disel or david tennant!
