7 years isn't an issue with me as I've had bf's in the past who have been younger than 'my captain'.

I'm quite apprehensive about getting involved after how it ended with the last one. Going to tread carefully rather than jump in with both feet this time. It's early days and I'm not expecting anything major.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 23/02/2009 14:00

think you have the right idea here Eve
and yes i think if i'm truthful i am too apprehensive to get involved at least with these cybermen
but glad that at least you can go with the flow and enjoy

i am more than apprehensive of future partners. scared shitless is more like it . i step forward, 3 steps back is more like it.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 23/02/2009 14:08

lol at RJ
im not scared shitless now thats for sure as i think that i have sorted out my head
tho i did have a major stumble a while back and regretted it
but possibly things happen for a reason
hmm i am in contemplative mood today

Abouteve - He's sounds lush plus 7 yrs younger, you are a mantra for all us MN single women!
RJ - Been on the phone to fitguy for last 40 mins or so - he phoned me! . anyway I think I know what I'm wearing on Saturday, involves black leather stilletto and skinny jeans, and got a nice beige woolly tank top from Jane Norman with a long sleeved cream top underneath, so its not revealing but it compliments my figure. hopefully providing a demure look!

aseriouslyblondemoment · 23/02/2009 14:18

Holly that sounds lush
do hope that he appreciates lol!

aseriouslyblondemoment · 23/02/2009 14:21

hey eve, you are only as young as the man you are feeling! he he

bob is still txting, have a date for tomorrow night, and maybe friday, thats if, he asks me nicely, I have been learning from asbm. lol

aseriouslyblondemoment · 23/02/2009 14:32

lol
no harm if they ask nicely
being asked to play spin the bottle isnt my idea of nicely tho

inthemistsoftime · 23/02/2009 14:33

well if we are talking clothes, what to wear on 2nd date to a sushi bar, any suggestions? have worn skinny jeans on sat with high boots and slim fitting top, boot cut jeans and casual top or a bit more glam?

HOLLY23 · 23/02/2009 14:40

I think if the date is in the evening then wear a glam top, but if its daytime or late afternoon, then a smart casual top.
Lets hope my date's impressed by what he sees!
For some reason, I am feeling a bit down today as well, think I must be due on soon! anyway got to go soon to fetch DS from school, I pulled a sickie at work today, as I still need another day to recover from the w/end.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 23/02/2009 14:41

lord dont ask me
only managed one date with last cm

OP posts:
ridingjoker · 23/02/2009 15:43

if nighttime i'd go glam. if afternoon/evening go for well fitting dress down casual. good fighting jeans and funky/stylish top.

hi all finally met samename 2 today.

I wasn't disappointed and nor was he I don't think.
However I don't think either of us are really interested in a serious thing but he was talking about going out again.

He did not come across as very talkative via email/virtually but in RL was alot more articulate/genuine than I thought he would be and I think we have a bit in common - on a similar level def.

And like you ASBM I was very apprehensive but my fears (whatever they were) were unfounded.

I suppose the fact we tried to meet up for so long, we both were hard work in a way and didn't give up counts for something.

So that's a good start to week. I sorta knew that I wanted to see him as soon as I saw his pic.

I don't have any high hopes but let's just see.

Like the discussion about the outfits - I have shied away from wearing jeans except on one date but maybe I should. One of my worries is that I will trip, drop food on clothes, come of loo with skirt tucked in pants(have done all of these at some point in my life) and any other Mr Bean/Bridget Jones type moments

ridingjoker · 23/02/2009 16:14

oooh sounds good SCL - are you going for the approach of not getting your hopes up incase he disappear?? or are you genuinely not bothered.....i get the impression you would like to see him again though?? i may be wrong.

sincitylover · 23/02/2009 16:33

I would def like to see him yes but don't want to get hopes up. I got very good vibes from him but I am a bit jaded and cynical, so we'll see. Also it has taken us so long to meet up due to various things, but maybe now we've met there won't be so much hesitation who knows.

Also really don't know what I want which doesn't help does it. I am so very wary of getting into a crap relationship again.

And like buses was talking to a long lost CM on MSN last night. He is a bit too young though. Is prob just looking for the thrill of older woman!! LOL

aseriouslyblondemoment · 23/02/2009 16:34

Finally lol!
so whats he like looks wise
need to perve imagine here
and yes am in full agreement with RJ(as always)here we do so think you want that 2nd date
SCL fancies samename2...nah nah nah nah nah..!
can't you tell that i've just done the school run?

OP posts:
lou33 · 23/02/2009 16:35

sushi would be a deal breaker for me

aseriouslyblondemoment · 23/02/2009 16:40

Ha!
was right lol.
and who says it has to be crap?
you are like us all we don't want crap either
having a see how it goes dating scenario is fine isnt it?
see it as a bit of pleasant male company and the chance to have a harmless flirt if nothing else
it puts a smile on your face and colour in your cheeks
a relationship?
well that is another ball game altogether
and that's a big fat no for me
unless i meet someone truly remarkable

OP posts:
sincitylover · 23/02/2009 16:40

Yep have always known I fancied him. We have been exchanging photos/emails and texts for months tho he has seemed a bit shy. You do know instantly if you do fancy someone I think, no point in trying to convince yourself (as I sometimes do with other CM).

Abt 5 7/8 (so no height issues for me LOL), dark, close cropped head, very attractive. Can hold a convo (that always helps). Just a really nice guy. Less geezerish than I thought which was quite nice really - I usually attract and go for cheeky geezerish types.

But we'll see let's not get excited on my behalf just yet.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 23/02/2009 16:49

mmmm..
fair play SCL!
and er hem not liking that final sentence

OP posts:
ridingjoker · 23/02/2009 16:57
