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

yes thats a very good description, I do feel like a grown up and it is good to feel like an attractive women again, I never realized how much I had missed it.

I take every opportunity now to get out and see friends and family, as I had neglected to that for such a long time. The kids dad is coming around tonight to see the sick ds so I am going to take full advantage and pop out for a drink with some friends. I don't like being around when he is, as I have to try hard to be nice to him, for the sake of the children.

ex bf works v long hours/shifts.

No word from Mr Keen so he wasn't Mr Keen after all was he, he just thought he was. I would sort of like some feedback but perhaps should just leave it!! It would have been polite if he had txt to see whether I got home ok given I was driving thru sarf london quite late at night but maybe that's a bit old fashioned. Tho I sometimes do it if I have been out with a mate.

If he had paid for dinner then I would have text him thanking him but as he didn't well haven't!! I couldn't read him at all!!

inthemist you sound like me!
how does ex feel about the refound you
does he know that you're dating again?
SCL he sounds rude to me
i think he should have texted to make sure that you got home in one piece
courtesy costs nothing
he probably knows that you're not into him
or maybe he is one of those text players who watches their clock until its the accepted time in 'blokey speak'
you are well shot!
funnily enough my exbf works long hours/shifts
hmmmm....

as he leapt from my car he said - I'll ring you sincitylover - yeah I thought!!

Seriously he does work long hours. I know it for sure - is this exbf from ldr?

sincitylover · 30/01/2009 14:35

he had to leap from it as we had a bus close up behind and it was hooting - the drivers round here really don't like it!!

Hilarious in many ways!! I also seemed to be having problems with my reverse gear which made me look a right idiot. Plus I was having a glasses issue - didn't have the right ones. LOL

sincitylover · 30/01/2009 14:36

Am not known as Mr Bean for nothing !!!

aseriouslyblondemoment · 30/01/2009 14:39

what a dick lol!
yes it's mr ldr
well spotted but then i guess it was the somewhat cynical tone of that last post eh?
this man who is keen is local-ish tho
wouldnt rule out another LDR but am actively rejecting all men from too far away
it just gets those old alarm bells a-ringin

OP posts:
aseriouslyblondemoment · 30/01/2009 14:41

oh LMAO!!
pity your reverse gear was playing up you could have finished him off good n proper

ex doesn't know any thing about my social life and I know nothing about his and I think it works for us as it is still so raw for me.

He has had emotional affairs whilst we were married and I still haven't forgiven him for not being honest with me, so I would rather know nothing of what he is up to.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 30/01/2009 14:54

that makes sense
i think it is easier to keep your private life just that
unless of course you reach the point where the potential NM meets the children
then it is just a mere courtesy
my exh doesnt know what i'm up to

OP posts:
lou33 · 30/01/2009 16:04

aseriouslyblondemoment · 30/01/2009 16:16

lou33 · 30/01/2009 16:54

i'm just really tired these last few days, i get apathetic when like that

aseriouslyblondemoment · 30/01/2009 17:09

i know especially when the weather is like this
perhaps we should take SCL's advice and wait til Spring?
i am trying to be positive anyway
and i will give this man a chance
will talk to him first then see

OP posts:
lou33 · 30/01/2009 17:11

tbh i am not actually actively seeking anyone

if i stumble across one then fine but i am not on the hunt

aseriouslyblondemoment · 30/01/2009 17:15

i just fancy going out every now and again
