god things are never straightforward are they
its hard enough just doing the basics of day to day
and then when you manage to do a big sort out on top which is always a knackeringly huge effort some other disaster occurs
so yes lou big sympathy vote here

thanks

Me....a dark horse? never, lol.

I don't have a real live girlfriend ...yet, but would welcome one.....but only a good one. I am not 100% sure of what good is, but I should know when I meet and know the person. So no competition for anyone...yet.

A person behaving like Elmo's friend, all cagey like is really not a good sign. Swapping a phone number should be a logical and progressive step if a person was even going out as friends. If the person is erratic, and that's an impression of what a possible relationship might be like, you are on course for having problems. Personally and if it were me, tell the man that you are not interested and give the reason as him not giving you his contact details...etc.

Eve. Did the plumber fix the leaking tap or was the tap just not turned off tight enough?

n1 - it's nice to hear someone is actually looking for a partner. not sure i'm anywhere near the stage of having a proper boyfriend.got to find "me " again. iykwim.

but i have noticed a mass increase in the amount of friends and family that visit since i split up with exdp. mainly as they just didn't like him.or he made them uncomfortable.heused to be very nice to anyone visiting. and put on the act of "mr perfect" . i think it may have been unnerving for others.put them off visiting.

shame that happens??

i've been half awake since 4am. went to bed far too early lat night.

morning elm, just catching up on whats been going on on this thread, makes for interesting reading, it has it all, romance, intrigue and deceit!!!!!

Briefly saw my friend last night, more by accident than design, he may not be able to make tomorrow night but will let me know today, I am not holding my breath.

Have been chatting with 2 guys on POF, one who seems quite nice but lives way to far away from me so just for a bit of flirtation. The other actually invited me out to dinner last night, and I have only spoken to him twice!! Even I think that is quick, I was able to decline as I already had a better offer. Will keep chatting to him but with caution.

Have a small hangover this morning, am sipping sweat tea and summoning the energy to go out running.

inthemistsoftime · 15/02/2009 08:41

the banker thing does sound a bit suspicious, tread with cation there!

inthemistsoftime · 15/02/2009 09:00

sipping more sweet tea and looking for an excuse not to go running!

inthemistsoftime · 15/02/2009 09:32

ok, ok, am going now as I have no other distractions.

Funny things make me laugh - though I am often considered as serious.

inthemistsoftime · 15/02/2009 11:30

Hi N1, I hope I haven't offended you?

My comment about you being serious wasn't meant to offend, just a bit of friendly banter with some cyber friends. (big grin)

N1 · 15/02/2009 11:43

I was not offended, did not feel offended or even think that your remark could be construed as offending. Please feel rest assured that the comment should be seen as nothing more than friendly banter with a possibility of being expanded on.

I don't get offended easily. On a forum level, you can know about a person but not know the person in real life. If everyone took an offending comment seriously, the internet would be a war zone in a virtual arena. I have been criticized many times where the criticism is clear and obvious. A suggestion about me being to serious, followed by a question asking me about what I laugh at made me smile when I was reading it. Sadly at the time of answering, I was feeling very rushed. I did want to answer but couldn't offer a comprehensive reply.

I trust that you enjoyed your run and are feeling much better in body and mind.

I trust that this reply causes you to feel less concerned.

inthemistsoftime · 15/02/2009 11:52

phew, thanks N1

run was short as hangover kicked in! but still made me feel a little better.

What did you do last night?

N1 · 15/02/2009 11:53

My reply was not used to "fit" inthemistoftime up, but more to answer Elmo's question. I knew I read the question and I responded to Elmo - incorrectly. I did want to correct the mistake.

I somehow doubt that Elmo would have felt anything negative when I assumed incorrectly, but I have no way to communicate directly or discreetly with her. If there had been a private communication ability, I could have shown Elmo how I got to making the mistake.

I did offer Elmo an apology.

If I owe further apology, I would have to apologise for answering in a rush and being to unclear. If I had answered better and at the right time, this banter would have remained a product of banter and been light hearted.

I do enjoy the way that this topic expands and developes as well as each posters individual contributions, experience and comments with advice. Nothing should change.

N1 · 15/02/2009 12:00

I was texting one of my better friends for most of last night (I was on the train). Then chatted on MSN will the wee hours of the morning. All the conversation was productive and fruitful.

I am reading some documents this morning, in particular, the Judgment handed down from the court of appeal regarding why the Royal court of Justice feel that it's acceptable to allow a miscarriage of justice to continue. The reading should be about 2 hours.

Hopefully, I might meet some attractive kind person who keeps my attention in a relationship instead of me reading up about legal injustices. The valentine text does have me thinking......

lou33 · 15/02/2009 12:09

i removed someone from facebook last night, as there is no effort to remain in contact with me, and i barely know him

this morning i get an email from him to say he thought i was up myself anyway lol

i'm sure he will cope somehow

HOLLY23 · 15/02/2009 12:31

Hi all, just been reading up from last night this morning.
Inthemist- Wish I could be as motivated as you to run. I really want to get back into it and want to take part in the Running for Life event this year.
Watched a film last night starring Jennifer Aniston - He's just not that into you. It is a really good film and recommend it to anyone, think we're all in there somewhere - even you N1, you're character is the sensible bar man that gives out advice on why guys behave the way they do towards women! lol

Remotew · 15/02/2009 13:53

Funnily enough I've decided to see this film with DD and possibly a friend at 5.30. Glad you enjoyed it, hope we will too.

lou33 · 15/02/2009 14:17
