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

morning!
so you chatted to the diverdude?bet that was funny!
aren't you just curious to meet him?i would be!
N1 am with you on that subject
i can't be involved with more than one man at a time or it gets messy
have done it and totally mucked up everything and ended up with the lesser of the two men in the end so learnt my lesson the hard way
yes meeting cheeky chops this afternoon
and am actually not nervous which i'm taking as a good sign
or maybe its just because i'm used to this dating lark again
anyway off to get ready
its so cold out that will need to be well wrapped up
am afraid that glamour will have to take a back seat today!

sorry just re-read
how far away is he?

If the attempts to date with the Banker are a reflection of future dating, I can see you having very few actual dates and many hopes. Hardly worth living a life of hope. There comes a time when you should think about cutting your losses and taking another step forward.

How was the house warming party?

Good luck with the dates. A date should not be limited to just meeting someone, it should also be about enjoying the night out and about gathering some positives (memories) about the evening, so you can re-tell the (hopefully) happy story in the future. Even dates that weren't good can have good and bad things involved.

A bad date teaches you about what you don't like, which helps you in the future.

Some people like "my way or the high way" types - they don't need to think because the "type" thinks for them. Personally thinking, it's not for me.

yes too true!
am hoping mine will be all good
but we'll see
he has got a really GSOH which is a big plus in my eyes
other men i chatted to off there were very hard work
i will have a guaranteed laugh if nothing else so can't be bad!

i am curious to meet diverdude after chat as it was hilarious.

his my way or highway thing is something i dont mind.as long as there morals match my own....but due to me being a little...stubborn....shall we say in this matter is where the problem occurs.

if both myself and diver have our heels dug in constantly it could be a recipe for disaster even as dating.

he stay a 2hr drive away. distance isn't a big deal to him as obviously 2 hr in a car is nothing like the whole day it takes him to travel same distance in a boat.

might meet with him. he's hoping to be working rfom sunday for 5-10 days solid depending on weather.so it would be a couple of weeks anyway.

house warming is tonight. have stated the preening as just realised i will have to remove my killer heels i've bought when i get there. gotta do the toes and try to remember socks.

as for banker. i was coming to a similar conclusion about reflection of future. it's a good thing he's busy with all his other activities and work. but i am also up to my eyeballs and will soon be adding work and ou course to that.

so either him being busy will be a good thing as he wont be demanding my attention. or bad as our schedules will never match and be lucky to meet once a week.verdicts still out on what i'm gonna do. almost blocked him this morning from msn as i came to the cut my losses option.then changed my mind (blaming nail polish fumes

asbm - where you meeting cheeky chops?

elmoandella · 07/02/2009 12:04

my spelling is appaling

sincitylover · 07/02/2009 12:48

jeez just had an email from a tranny.

Now I am very broad minded but couldn't go there.

elmoandella · 07/02/2009 13:11

oh davie diver was telling me about this. says when your searching women there's a lot of men dressed as women looking for "other relationships"

lou33 · 07/02/2009 13:36

all very very quiet here - I haven't even received a text message from anyone today which is most unusual. Even resorted to sending a text from our spare payg phone to my own phone to check mine is still working.

Did go out to see Bolt in 3D with DS2, his best friend and his mum and they came back here for something to eat.

And have been doing some domestic stuff today. I have to really force myself to do that!!! LOL

wonders how ASBM got on.

The tranny didn't hope to meet a man - did he. If so - yuk!!

Glad to hear that you had a good and long date aseriouslyblondemoment.

elmoandella · 08/02/2009 08:39

asbm - good your date went well.

scl - i get terrible reception in this house. been known to check it's not out of signal if it goes quiet

inthemistsoftime · 08/02/2009 10:50

Hi all, I have been lurking and am pleased to see that asbm has had a successful date.

diverdude, sounds interesting

I'm with you guys, can only cope with one relationship at a time, but a lot of my friends have about 3 on the go!

I am going to try the sites today again, wish me luck!

aseriouslyblondemoment · 08/02/2009 12:41

oh yes mobiles meant to say
had this problem recently SCL
turn it off remove your battery and try again
then you'll be bombarded with texts like i was!
Elmo what's happening tomorrow then?
are you meeting him finally?
and diverdude!
i actually think you should meet him purely out of curiosity and to keep us lot entertained
the tranny thing is common N1
unless it's the same one who hits on a certain type of man
cheeky chops and another guy i went out with have both had this
why these types are on a mainstream site god only knows!

Wow so many messages on this thread and just wanted to chip in with my situation. It's my first experience with a NM, seemed OK, he was emailing me loads, phoned me, paid me loads of compliments, and then we made plans to meet up for a coffee, but this time as a date! So then he tells me he's just started seeing someone else buts it not that serious and he really likes me, then our date turns into the fact he wants me to come to his house, give him a massage, bring a toy , etc etc, oh and I can't stop all night because he has to go to his GF's house to look after her animals as she is away! , this all came out in a conversation we had on Friday night and I am still reeling from it. Anyway I have not contacted him although he sent me a text today. He will probably email me at work tomorrow and I am putting together a sarcastic message to tell him "No thanks" - this has actually put me of dating other men because it just seems so scary knowing that are idiots like this out there! any suggestions for what I can put in an email to him are most welcome!

elmoandella · 08/02/2009 14:48

holly - what a prize numpty that guy sounds. hope his gf catches him. he deserves it . bit of karma even if whe cheats on him while she's away.

i strongly believe in treating other how you expect to be treated yourself.

asbm - have you heard from cheeky chops today.

as for banker - i've been hiding offline . might come back on tonight....or maybe not. it' a lot of messing about and let downs is bugging me slightly.

not heard from diverdude but he's definately not the type to call or contact everyday.i dont think i'll hear from him till he's finished his work and heading home and looking to arrange a meet.

which i like the peace. quite enjoyed not getting messages from banker all wkd. i know he's been really busy this wkd with his folks and having an all day rugby day today. but i dare not show myself on msn incase he's lurking.just wondering if i do block him i may get calls ??? perhaps it would be easier to end it on msn if i do decide to end it.

house party was fab. i was driving. but they did there best to corrupt me and get me to stay out all night. suffering today. only 3 hrs sleep.

inthemist - go for it. bit of window shopping

lou33 · 08/02/2009 15:15

you could tell him that you dont have a pricelist tattooed on your forehead and to call 0800 rentafuck instead

you could tell him to go empty his balls elsewhere

you could say "oh that would be really nice, but i dont fucking want to"

you could text him and say "omg guess what?" and when he replies asking what you say "you are a nob"

they all work, have used them all

lou33 · 08/02/2009 15:15

or tell him to look on www.scrapingthebarrel.com, as its the only place he may find someone desperate enough to take up his offer

EyefullTower · 08/02/2009 15:42

lou33, you are priceless
