Ooh!

The trouble is, nobody took anybody's number.

He is lovely and laid back and very attractive. We only went out for about a week and it was all quite amicable...now he has a two year old and he lives in Brighton half the time and here half the time, when he looks after his daughter.

We didn't chat much but it was nice and golly I so would...

What do I do now?
I doubt we'll ever meet again!

Are you on Facebook?
If so search for him. If he is a member too send him a message saying it was lovely to catch-up and if he ever wants a coffee when he is near you that would be great.

Have rejoined.

ooo keep us updated.

A friend of mine from school added me on Facebook the other day - we've been chatting quite a bit (after he revealed - on my wall!!! - that he'd fancied me at school, and I was rather keen on him).

Problem is he's 500+ miles away - so not sure anything is really going to come of it

Oh good for you! Even a bit of banter on facebook can bring a smile to your face.

Oh it is very low key...he said maybe we should hook up again and do something kid related, I think he means entertaining them rather than initiating their creation

ahem

Thanks for the support gals

It means a lot! Every time I find a really nice bloke, i completely lose all my confidence - today I have been stuttering in my head, trying to imagine how I would talk to him and I think this is really off putting for the bloke probably when someone loses a sense of who they are.

I will start to worry about all sorts of things rather than just being confident in myself...like Oh my Goodness i can't wear that, he will think I am ugly' etc etc etc. Usually I don't give a stuff when I don;t have anyone I like to impress. I can feel ultra confident around strangers or people i dont want to date. then someone beautiful comes along and I turn into a jibbering wreck!

Gah...

Need to have words with self esteem. She is in there somewhere...

oooh how exciting

fransmom · 21/09/2008 16:36

fa you will be fine (((((((((())))))

piratecat · 21/09/2008 16:45

flight, he's not just meeting up cos of the kids. He suggested that to make it less scary for you both.

game on!!!

Pushpinia · 21/09/2008 16:52

Oh God Piratecat why did you say that??!!!

do you really think so?

Pushpinia · 21/09/2008 16:52

am flight btw

piratecat · 21/09/2008 17:22

becuase it's the reason, he likes you, and wants to see you, and he didn't take you number, but you didn't take his. Yet you've found him, and he's responded.

yip yip!

mamachat · 21/09/2008 18:11

well done for making the first move by contacting him... to me that seems like you have confidence...

hope it goes well, he probably suggested meeting with the kids incase you are not interested in him in that way and then he would not feel rejected if ou said no...

good luck, when are you meeting??

Now I am really nervous!!

Well I prob sounded a bit too cool yesterday but I said give me a shout next time you're in town and we can go to the swings again as they entertain themselves.

He said will do.

That could mean yes or that he will just 'forget' I suppose...I added him as a friend anyway and he let me

he has 45 friends. I have, wait for it, three

wardrobemistress · 21/09/2008 18:47

I would be yur friend ..... but I don't know your name and I'm not putting mine on here. We can be Virtual Facebook Friends if you like?

Pushpinia · 21/09/2008 18:50

Cool...yes invisible friends is the new cool!

i will just tell everyone that my friends er encrypted so they can;t see them!

wardrobemistress · 21/09/2008 18:54
