Hiya everone, I havn't been online from Thurs evening as have been busy.

N1 I was talking about loose skin from having a baby not being really over weight, but could not read your reply as it had been deleted.

Ok so thought I would update you all. The guy I was texting asked me to meet up for a drink with him. I went to meet him Friday. He was a really really 'nice' guy. He seemed so nice that I wonder if he is too nice. We got on well, had a laugh and he was very sweet. He did mention meeting again and I said sounds good.

He text me when I got home but have not heard from him scince then. He said he gets very nervous and was really nervous while waiting for m so I think maybe he wants me to text him first. Which is fine.

Anyway like I said he is a really nice guy, do you think that even if you dont fancy someone straight away you could do later on?

He is not ugly, got a nice face, so there maybe hope. Anyway I'm quite happy with going on a few dates for now, no rush for anything else.

So have I missed anything from thursday night onwards?

i have said i will think about meeting someone for lunch in the next couple of weeks, and have yet to decide if i want to meet another one

if i meet either they will be told i am not wanting anything but lunch and a chat

newlysinglemummy · 08/03/2009 22:30

sounds good, so where did you meet them both?

newlysinglemummy · 08/03/2009 22:30

lunch and a chat can not do any harm, you might as well meet both..

lou33 · 08/03/2009 22:56

am not entirely sure i can be bothered enough to meet them tho thats the only reason

have spoken to them both for a while online , through pof, one i know better than the other as we have talked more

one is 28 and works in london i forget what he doe, good looking v sweet guy but actually an inch shorter than me, hes quite hot tho but i think we are more likely to be friends tbh, especially the time we have been chatting and the way our friendship has developed. He has short blonde hair, white guy, is on my fb initials td if any of you are on it as a friend of mine

one is 29 and is a property developer he says, and clearly not short of a bob or two, says the right things but i just cant quite get the bullshit alarm from my brain. However, he has waited patiently for a few months for me to agree to see him tho, and i havent, and is still lurking even tho i have told him i have absolutely nothing to offer him

he is taller than me, lebanese/italian, dark hair

both have been quite nice to me this weekend , knowing how tough it has been for me, but then again if they think they are going to get something from it, then they would wouldnt they?

lou33 · 08/03/2009 23:07

totally off topic, but do you know you can buy special pubic hair dye to hide the grey?!!!

just saw it in an article, and no my pubes are not in need of a dye job

newlysinglemummy · 08/03/2009 23:18

you should atleast meet one of them, meeting that guy the other night made me feel more upbeat. Its not like i want to run off into the sunset just now but its nice to just get out and feel like a person instead of just a mum..

Are you really tall? or is that first guy just a bit small?

I am only 5.2 and the guy I met up with is 6.2 not sure about seeing a guy so tall...

didn't no about the pubic hair dye, but glad i'm no where near that stage yet...

newlysinglemummy · 08/03/2009 23:18

also what type of guys do you normally go for? ie white, italian?

lou33 · 08/03/2009 23:37

i am 5ft 7

i am not shy about dates, i have had plenty, i think i am just not in the right head space atm what with one thing or another

i am not sure if i have a specific type really, tho i am partial to v short hair and the younger men (i am 42)

its more about clicking with someone rather than skin colour or height, but of course some people i click with in different ways to others

like my best friend, we met through online dating initially, and dated for a few weeks, then decided we actually were better off as mates, which has been much more successful

newlysinglemummy · 08/03/2009 23:47

oh really, thats funny but good that you got your best friend outof it...

I think you just have to have a spark with someone really but am trying to work out if the spark will ever come if it is not there straight away...

lou33 · 08/03/2009 23:50

i am quite comfortable in the fact that i probably wont find mr right, and ultimately be single

i may well find someone who is around for a while, but i dont think i will find anyone long term

but i am perfectly able to live with that and be able to have a life beyond a bloke to make me feel complete

a partner is an added bonus not something i need to survive iyswim

lou33 · 08/03/2009 23:51

as for my best mate, he was a bit too old for me anyway as a bf ( he is 38 this year )

ridingjoker · 09/03/2009 07:30

lou - you and your younger men go on.

NSM - glad your date went well. if you enjoyed yourself then go on another with him. dont have to do anything than have nice evening with some nice company.

my type....scottish(exp was italian.had my boots filled of foreign.), over 6ft, well built, manly(metro-sexual nononono), optimistic(cant bear people who are always looking on the bad side), own car, job(doesn't matter what.as long as they're working).

i'm not fussy

lou33 · 09/03/2009 08:11

i'd date someone my age if i could find one who held any interest for me

Holly23 · 09/03/2009 08:16

RJ - you may need a long list for all these cybermen because you will need a "notes" section to briefly list what has been discussed.
NSM - I'm not sure about sparks either tbh, I'm sure there are some poeple that fall in gradually and then there's the instant attraction, which may fizzle out after a few dates, or settle down and turn into something more permanent. Anyway I guess it depends on what your looking for at this stage of your life.
Lou - why use hair dye when you can go brazilian/ hollywood?

ridingjoker · 09/03/2009 08:23

thats how i feel about men my age.and i'm ashamed to say they usually end up scared witless.

ridingjoker · 09/03/2009 08:24

holly. i know. i've reduced numbers by a few already. gave up emailing as they were boring me to sleep.

lou33 · 09/03/2009 09:00

who said i did?

Holly23 · 09/03/2009 09:05

lol RJ, thats the spirit

Lou - are you thinking about it then?

lou33 · 09/03/2009 09:13

about dye or dates?

Holly23 · 09/03/2009 09:17

Lol - well not sure about the dye, is it worth the hassle, I'd sooner go brazalian! Dates well it depends on how you feel, yes it boost your morale a bit, but I also think if you're not bothered then don't bother, just as long as your not intending to shut yourself off completely, after all there are so many dishy men out there to sample!

lou33 · 09/03/2009 09:21

am def not thinking about hair dye, dates , the jury is out on

lou33 · 09/03/2009 09:21

i've probably sampled my fair share for the moment anyway

aseriouslyblondemoment · 09/03/2009 10:03

Wow this moves fast so if I'm reading this right theres been some toe dipping by RJ, lots more I need to learn about dye and brazillians (I'm so inexperienced in some areas), N1 had a bad day and by the sounds of it lots of people asking lots of people out - which can be no bad thing. My Alien abductee took me to lunch on Saturday. He's such a gent now concerned he's too nice, maybe he's gay. He's over for dinner tommorow night haven't a clue what to cook was thinking something like beef and ale pie with chunky home made wedges - I know he likes pub grub so thats quite safe. Do I do starter/ dessert or is that overboard for mid week?

Can someone help me out and ellaborate on the cybermen crown thing - is this to do with online stalkers?
