He is actually quite nice, will have another read and think about it. Thanks ASBM (Holly handing Cilla torch over to ASBM), You do realise the Cilla torch carries a lot of reponsibility don't you? Go forth my child and match make other fellow singletons...lol

HOLLY23 · 15/02/2009 15:48

Has anyone appealed to you today?

aseriouslyblondemoment · 15/02/2009 15:53

i guessed right!
he's not too far from you either is he?
no i haven't had a proper look on there except to view my messages
ALL from the man with the dreery fascinating life
and yes i know being Cilla carries alot of responsibility and challenges
clashing hair and clothes being one of them!

n1 - wasn't offended at all. i'm thick skinned and too laid back to care tbh.

back from date. was very impressed. he turned up ...on time...after finishing work, going to family party then drove out straight out to meet me as he didn't want to cancel as he thinks thats rude (he should tell banker that)

he was witty, a gentleman(door holding and arguing over paying bills) and good looking (earrings were not in sight)average body and tall.

i actually genuinly enjoyed myself. although somewhat embarassed, but when i mentionned this when we were parting ways he said i seemed fine.then admitted he was also nervous about the whole situation.

gave me a wee peck on lips when we parted and asked if i would keep in touch. agreed i would.

tis a shame really he stays so far away and it could be weeks or months till he's back on land again.

but i also find it could be an ideal introduction back to dating. if i never hear from him again then i had a lovely day with a lovely man. if we do meet again then it would be good that i wont be pestered for my time and will only be once a month(if that) , that i will have to find some spare time to fit in a date.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 15/02/2009 16:51

aww that sounds positive
and yes taking it slowly is probably the best way forward
but its good to hear that you had a lovely time
if you do see him again tho you may find the time apart/distance a prob?
how do you feel about the long distance thing?

asbm, my friend called yes eve to say that he possibly wont be able to make Monday eve, said he would let me know today, haven't heard a dickie bird from him even though I sent him a txt last night, am feeling a bit let down by him.

I shall be making alternative arrangements, unless he can convince me otherwise!

elmoandella · 15/02/2009 17:06

well... at the moment i do not want a serious live in partner or someone who needs my attention and to see them constant. tbh i'm not sure if i could even find the time to go on 1 date a week as a regular things.

so perhaps it is exactly what i'm after at the moment.

but i would have to see how things go. i may find i dont like it.

but it could work. as he seems committed that if he intends to do something then he does. i wouldn't like it if he agreed to come to land and then lets me down at last minute. i can put up with not knowing when he's going to be on land. as long as when he does agree a meeting...that he actually follows through and meets. and if today is anything to go by, then he would.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 15/02/2009 17:06

well that's no good is it?
he will probably text you later
maybe give him the benefit of the doubt

inthemist - am confused?? which guy is this??is this the one who was away?? or is that lou's fella?

inthemistsoftime · 15/02/2009 17:10

I think thats Lou's fella.

Think I'll go Slumdog millionaire tomorrow eve instead.

inthemistsoftime · 15/02/2009 17:10

go to SEE

aseriouslyblondemoment · 15/02/2009 17:11

Elmo that's exactly how i view things post divorce
i really can't do another 24/7 type thing with having my dcs to bring up
tho i can do a one meet a week at a push probably more if i were to meet a local-ish bloke
but saying that if the right man came into my life then who knows?
my exbf was a LDR and it worked for a time as i wasn't too involved
but then i found myself thinking that it was a waste of my time as if i wanted to be more involved then i couldn't be

aseriouslyblondemoment · 15/02/2009 17:13

elmoandella · 15/02/2009 17:20

aseriouslyblondemoment · 15/02/2009 17:22

and probably like me you don't want them meeting lots of mummy's friends
