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)

sorry i am just rambling here.

i get friday nights tomyself...and days midweek......just because you are a mum does not mean that your life has to revolve around it constantly.

you are still you, and we all deserve ME time.
start goin out with the girlies, boost ur confidence.......if they are always after your mate then stop going out with her

piratecat · 07/07/2008 16:26

well PC i think that you need to go out of your way to say HELLO to him.

piratecat · 07/07/2008 16:42

i really want to, belive me!!

Yet this is a school setting, and I would have to walk the totally wrong way with a nosey 6 yr old, prob going (top of voice) WHY are we going this way mummy?!!!

I guess it will happen, i am just SO frustrated, in more ways than one dare i say!

lol.

come on girl - right tell us the full story we might be able to help set up a 'unexpected meeting' in the corridors! lol. is he a parent, teacher etc? does your child have anything to do with him at all?

oh lack of confidence is normal - but you go girl! put your jeans on brush your hair bit of make up on n go say hello!

piratecat · 07/07/2008 17:01

teacher

no she has nothing to do with him.

i am afraid to say anything on here, for no reason in particular. I feel a bit silly tbh. i am late 30's and he is mid 30's and i know he is single as of about 2 months, thru another mum.

A good friend of mine, found out thru someone she knows, where he is livung now, and aparently this 3rd party, told him, and he's well interested in finding out about me.

he'd better try harder then!!

i was thinking of writng just lightheartednote to accompany my phone number, IF i by chance bumped into him, i could giveit too him. he is shy, so i thought it might be ok for me to do this. Yet I also would feel like a twat!!!

fawkeoff · 07/07/2008 20:10

REALLY!!!!!!!!!!

you want to write him a note
i really think you should, you would be way cool in my eyes if you actually did it

mypandasgotcrabs · 07/07/2008 20:42

samiestresure, sometimes you have to put yourself first over your dc's. If you concentrate on baby & work yuo'll go nuts. Get together with some girly mates (and this goes for you to pirate), get a new dress, some new shoes, do your hair, a couple of bottles of wine before you go out & just have a laugh. My mate & I do that, we just go out & have a laugh & the men come swarming. They much prefer that to predatory women out on the pull! ANd if you don' pull, it really doesn't matter cos you've had a fab night out wiht good friends.

OK pirate, so is it the note you've decided on then? What are you going to put in it? When's the school fair? Will you be going?

IllegallyBrunette · 07/07/2008 20:46

I'd be just like you PC. I doubt i'd ever work up the courage to say a word to anyone that I fancy.

Lucky really that I don't curently fancy anyone, nor them me LOL.

I really just can't be faffed.

IllegallyBrunette · 07/07/2008 20:49

Oh, meant to also add that obviously you should say hi or something. You will never know otherwise.

PurpleOne · 07/07/2008 21:45

I fancied a teacher when DD2 was in his class. Specifically got her there early in the morning so I could spy on him through the blinds. This man was lush!

I sent him a totally anonymous xmas pressie one year, a pair of boxer shorts, with a note attached inside. 'I want what's inside these'.

Sadly he never knew it was me, and had transferred by the time I mustered up the balls to say anything at all.

PC, I reiterate, life is too short for what if's.
Just say HELLO. He's single, you have NOTHING to lose!

DO IT!

fawkeoff · 07/07/2008 22:42

right ok.....i have gone on POF......give this guy my msn........he looks lovely BUT.......he is 40!!!!!!
is that tooo old for me

amonkeyscousin · 07/07/2008 23:10

ok update. apparently he went out and got blotto at the weekend, and 'met someone'

my friend rang her friend, for me to see if anything had been said.

He is meeting with this person again tis week. Apparently the firend sias, tel your friend that i think he's really wanting to sow hi oats at the moment, and tbh I don't want her to get hurt.

Yet he still has no clue who i am, and i won't really be satisfied to til he does.

Mission is not complete, and altho i have been a bit upset, as i have liked him for so long, I don't think thee is any harm in letting him know who i am.

this bloke stuff is annoying.

PurpleOne · 07/07/2008 23:13

fawke...only you know in your heart whether he is too old!

Go with your instincts girl!

amonkeyscousin · 07/07/2008 23:15
