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

no!not at all was brought up to believe that honesty is the best policy
i have stated an age range and 58 wasnt it
it is quite a way off 42
maybe i should give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he got his sums wrong?
and god forbid the picture is probably well out too
and it wasn't the best at that either!

i do hope it went well

sincitylover · 28/01/2009 22:41

Well I am back. not much to report really, had something to eat, no alcohol as both driving. Nice enough guy but spark not there in RL.

Plus numerous other little issues that didn't sit well.

Hard to gauge his reaction really.

Hmmm.

perhaps I will sleep on it and illuminate more in the morning.

lou33 · 28/01/2009 22:41

oh no you dont get away that easily!

spill

elmoandella · 28/01/2009 22:45

oh yes spill please!!

sincitylover · 28/01/2009 23:00

tee hee thought you might say that! Finding the words hard really. Not usually an issue for me.

well I was a bit late cos couldn't find anywhere to park. So we walked to a restaurant and walking beside him just felt awkward. He is alot taller than me, didn't think it would be an issue but it was! May have been better if we met inside somewhere first.

The conversation was OK and I did make him laugh (alot) then he went because he had to do some family errand - could have been legit. Walked me back to car then I drove him to his car.

Voice was not an issue at all because he was so physically different from exbf.

I dunno - expect to feel a bit nervous but felt awkward rather than nervous. I think he felt it too. Shame as he's quite attractive.

When I was alot younger (very young) I once had a date with a guy I was very physically attracted to but we couldn't get a conversation going. It just wouldn't have ever worked.

lou33 · 28/01/2009 23:02

is it worth giving a second date over to?

sincitylover · 28/01/2009 23:02

also wasn't on best form pretty tired.

sincitylover · 28/01/2009 23:03

lou33 · 28/01/2009 23:04

i've cancelled the same bloke twice now, because i cant be arsed

sincitylover · 28/01/2009 23:05

not sure lou. He had kept mentioning his height beforehand so I suppose I sort of zoomed in on it.

lou33 · 28/01/2009 23:29

how tall is he?

tallest one i dated was 6ft 6

sincitylover · 28/01/2009 23:35

6 4 funnily enough my first serious boyfriend was same height.

I am 5 2 - 5 5 in heels

lou33 · 28/01/2009 23:38

ah i see

i am 5ft 7, 5ft 11 in my normal heels tho i do have some a bit higher

elmoandella · 28/01/2009 23:46

lol. i'm 5ft 10 in bare feet.and even i would have found 6ft6 too tall!!

lou33 · 29/01/2009 00:02

oh i kind of liked it

we are still in touch, he has a gf now , tho it hasnt stopped him asking to meet up with me

talking of which i just got asked out and i said no

way hey Lou!
thought you were upto something last night as were unusually quiet!!
im having probs with access to the various features on the site so am pissing off lots of men!
one is quite persistent and has messaged me lots regardless
but i dont know, he describes himself as that grey word 'separated'
and i have one other niggle which i cant quite overcome
i suspect that he has an accent
(asbm waits for chorus of condemnation)
one of those unpleasant accents which just grate
CSL i need more info i think
what are your thoughts this morning
and has he been in touch?
oh and i prefer taller men too

I am 5 ft 11. I hardly ever drink. I enjoy a DVD and I enjoy wine - most times not together because you run the risk of not seeing the end of the DVD. Everyone was shorter than I was when I have been seeing someone.

I have met 2 people from POF. Both didn't look anything like their photo (one was standing 10 ft from me and I had to phone to find out where they were. I can't be to critical because my photo and my real look don't look as similer as they should.

I have had 3 relationshps from interodate. 2 of the 3 were (in my mind) good. The first lasted 18 months but she finished uni and wanted to see the world. The second was a long didtance relationship, she ended it because (apparently) she missed me to much during the week. She got over the "missing me" on a Thur and I was back on a Friday. The thrid relatioinship was with someone "mad" who had really strange ideas and was ultra sarcastic. I ended the third with her confirming the ending.

sincitylover · 29/01/2009 11:48

no he hasn't been in touch and not sure whether he will be! It will be fine if he doesn't.

Ah well just chalk it down to experience. It just felt awkward (I wasn't particularly nervous tbh).

I think some of it came from him as he has an issue with it I think. I have absolutely no idea whether he fancied me or liked me in RL.
