its just a thought which has been pondered upon by a few of us on here
as Lou 33 said if she knew the answer then she wouldn't be on MN

n1 - are you being cheeky? did i give tmi??

What's tmi?

elmoandella · 04/02/2009 11:19

too much information.

N1 · 04/02/2009 11:41

ah right. I was racking my brain trying to figure that out, lol.

Just call it - me being cheeky with no harmful intentions intended and keep giving to much info, It generates more conversation.

Hopefully you feel a bit better soon - after the night out.

elmo
deary me a night on the lash eh

i did message the dodgy pic one on site to say that i didnt think that i would be free for the foreseeable future
both of them were lurking on there last nite so must have noticed that i was on

elmoandella · 04/02/2009 16:02

ooooh so who's you other option.?? info please

and why the heck would someone send mobile number on first communication.

oh and banker called me today "just because he felt like it" on his lunch which was ideal. indicates no game playing which i like.

so....another question.... what do we think is the obvious signs your internet buddy is actually married.i can think of

---wedding band tan line
---meeting up in person a few times yet still refusing to give out phone number, so you either contact online or wait on them calling you.
--being outdoors everytime they do contact you?

any other sure fire ways to tell??

elmoandella · 04/02/2009 16:16

csa called to say they have finally contacted him. they say he's claiming he's unemployed

so given them his ltd co number.

i was at my old neighbours house last night. and when i left exdp called me as soon as i was gone to explain why i hadn't popped in

he's obviously been in a stinker when they called him today as i have a life.

HI Elmo!
other option is ticking a few boxes!
he is at least interesting and amusing
oh and tall!!
we'll see haven't actually spoken yet
and he hasn't asked me out
oh lord knows why they do maybe they think life's too short!
this one man said 'cheeky but...o777 etc
i replied with er 'hopeful..'
how can we tell if they are married?
how can they tell i'm divorced?
it's taking someone at their word i guess
and yes all of the above but also being online at unusual times so the missus doesn't know
banker sounding good IMO
bet you counting down hours to Friday
exh sounds a right tosser
he'll get what's coming to him
and too right you have a life
{asbm gives a 2 fingered gesture to Elmo's and hers respective exs}
ahh feel better now

exp is prize twunt. doesn't want me working and putting dc in childcare. yet refuses to pay for me to stay at ome with them

so i went out and started job hunting today. and he can either watch dc for his share of childcare or pay for the nursery. i cant afford the £1500 for both to be in nursery.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 04/02/2009 17:13

well he knows what he can do then really
its very hard to find something that pays and is interesting and fits in around dcs
i am at least fortunate that mine are at primary school now
still we'll get there
and in your case there's Friday

feel for bit of hardened skin on the underside of the ring finger, it's usually a sign of man who has removed his wedding ring

LMAO
obviously had practice

lou33 · 04/02/2009 18:02

oh and i wouldnt even contemplate meeting anyone who refused to give me their number, and in fact have been in that situation

elmoandella · 04/02/2009 18:34

i haven't got bankers number. i haven't asked for it though. so not been refused as such. waiting to see if he gives it after meeting. it's his works phone. i wouldn't give my work number out to someone over internet though. too much bother if it needs changing due to meeting a nutter on internet

sorry text head on now too

OP posts:
elmoandella · 04/02/2009 19:03

no he calls and msn

it's not "witheld" it's "unknown", when he calls. like an ex-directory number.

not asked him why or asked for it. but i do know its a works mobile. dont want to ask as i get enough contact without knowing. dont want to appear as if i MUST know it in a stalker kind of fashion but i will see if he gives me it after out meeting. if not i'll raise the issue then.
