Ok think I will take him in hand over the weekend. LOL

I might have come across as being over confident - if only they knew.

Am talking to tall guy on MSN - turns out he didn't think our date was crap but has had a bereavement. Think we could be friends.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 26/02/2009 23:28

tallguy?

have you braved the old webcam tonite as youve had a few vinos?!

bumped into him accidentally on purpose?

bluejelly · 26/02/2009 23:33

He is fairly local and divorced.
I have met a few others, but nobody I really hit it off with. Was easy playing cool with them

So which site do you use asbm?

aseriouslyblondemoment · 26/02/2009 23:33

So was I! ( jaded that is)
So had a couple of months break and got back into it.
I think you have to be in it for the long haul-- some people meet mr right straight away, but I think most people it does take a good few non-starters. It's so random after all

sincitylover · 26/02/2009 23:50

yes feel bad about mr keen really. Turns out he had a legit reason.

and with samename2 I think I might txt him at weekend an suggest something. how about that?

Hi all. I am still about, I try to keep myself up to date with this post though I haven't had any chance to go looking for the other mentioned threads. Perhaps if someone posts a link, that would help. I recall reading something about a dragon post.

My working times have been amended again but all to my advantage, so I am pleased.

Busy. That I am. I am reading the case law for the Websters (the case where the parents lost their children to adoption because the parents were accused of non accidental injury - and now it was found that the child had a medical condition). Long story short, the children were stolen but have to stay kidnapped because the RCJ feel that correcting an injustice is worse.

I am in Court this week (soon) in a case that I wouldn't usually take on.

I am reading some 5 psychological reports and constructing the counter argument because it's so clear that the psychologist is being mislead and or choosing to manipulate their report. Add an independent social workers report to the list - ISW who gathers info which is not documented and presents it as fact.

Yes, I am a tad busy. I am in London next week and really wanted to meet Inthemist. Sadly I had to change arrangements, the changes are difficult for inthemist so the meeting is deferred to a later time, still to be decided. Pity but accepted (for now)

To the rest of the people who are meeting men and thinking of starting something. Now it the better time to be doing the meeting people. Think of the season. It's spring. The atmosphere is warming up a bit and people want to get out more. Nature makes spring as a breeding time (not that you want more children) but the feelings are more prominent. Now is supposed to be the better chance of something happening. Get your dates in while the mood is good.

Adding sex into a meeting at the start is usually a difficult part because the closeness feelings mask and cover over things that you might usually spot if you didn't feel that close.... how ever when you are juggling time and going far to meet a person, you want to use the time as best you can. Not an easy choice to make when considering the implications of later. Perhaps it's better to think along the lines of you only live once and rather have a life full of experiences (some good, others bad) than a life full of regrets of not doing the things you wanted to do.

Thinking back to the person who got to see their new mans flat. I think I might feel like him. I have piles of paperwork all over. The washing is clean and stacked - needing folding. My son's toys are where he left them. Not the best place for making a first impression. If someone had to visit, I would need to find half a day to sort my place out.

Thanks for asking about me, it's good to know I was missed. I am not far. If I am keeping up to date from my phone, I tend to not reply because it takes ages to text type a reply.

I am looking forward to reading about everyone's date during the weekend, MSN or here. No date for me I am afraid....not this weekend.

ridingjoker · 27/02/2009 07:51

ah ha...the ever illusive n1...

glad you got things sorted with your job to your liking.

i agree it's best not to involve sex in first few dates. but completely depends on the person and situation feel.

as for untidy flat...i dont mind if a fella's place is messy. as long as it's clean iykwim.

but worryingly...marvelman text to say he cleaned his house for me??eh??wtf....he must think i'm going to fall for his charms and back to his place for sure??

i never got the impression on sat.....or any other text thru the week... but yesterday he seems a bit cock sure for my liking

scl - i think it would be fine to text or call(much better if it is an issue with phones he has) samename2 today.
and i like the sound of tall guy. but you dont want to become an emotional crutch if it was a very close relative as it completely throw the normal dynamics of the relationship.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 27/02/2009 10:13

Morning All!
SCL that must have been a bit of a shock to hear from him again
and lets face it you werent exactly blown away by him were you?
personally i would wish him well and thats it
as you might end up being used as some kind of emotional dumping ground,i know that sounds harsh but i have been there and didnt end the relationship with exbf as he had problems at the time,and i felt that i couldnt hurt him,but i should have walked away,as the relationship wasnt working,and it all got on top of me
RJ marvel?
go with your gut instinct there
SCL btw text samename2 a friendly 'hi how are you?' is fine
Holly hope you slept well and how are your butterflies?
Hi N1 hope you're ok
wondering about SV here too

sincitylover · 27/02/2009 11:41

Morning all - not didn't brave the webcam last night - was quite tipsy though as I had been out for a couple of hours with some people from work.

I have texted samename2 a friendly good morning but his phone is switched off so prob at work.

Looking forward to hearing how people's dates go this weekend.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 27/02/2009 12:04

SCL hope you are not brooding now
the ball is in his court
lets hope that he responds soon

sincitylover · 27/02/2009 12:33

Not really ASBM.

I have got a really busy weekend with the DCs, plus it's girlie night tonight my friend and her son. Plus payday so feeling good.

Treated myself to some lovely sandals (not to wear just yet) from New Look. Bargain.

I don't usually get things wrong and felt good vibes when we met.

sincitylover · 27/02/2009 12:35

It actually was a bit overwhelming - well for me anyway - don't know about him!!

aseriouslyblondemoment · 27/02/2009 12:42

oooohhh!
how exciting being overwhelmed
fingers crossed you'll hear back soon
and at least get a bit more regular contact if not a poss.next date arranged

OP posts:
sincitylover · 27/02/2009 13:34

aseriouslyblondemoment · 27/02/2009 13:45
