thrilled to be kicking off part 6 on a sinful note lol

Blaming the vino for texting samename1 and asking him out - he text right back suggesting early this afternoon but don't think I can make it as am waiting for my brother who is coming down to help me swap washing machines and is always late bless him!

Then had a rather raunchy chat with young guy who have been in touch with for ages - trying to think of a nickname for him - very good looking - lives in your neck of the woods Lou. Think we might meet up soon.

At least resisted the urge to text exbf.

most likely

aseriouslyblondemoment · 03/04/2009 17:06

good to see no broken finger syndrome there scl
when are you next meeting up?
and did the safety pin do the trick?!

ninah · 03/04/2009 17:42

yes go for it scl, another date!
lou do you think thesp is pissing you off so much is connected with your feelings about ex?
well my online romance is tottering, nm has lots of family issues and has been relying on me for support to the extent I can't really cope. Am child free next week and we were suppposed to be going on hols but I haven't spoken to him all week, were supposed to book something last Mon but he was more interested in sex and sympathy. He is certainly available but finding him less fit and interesting by the second sad to say.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 03/04/2009 17:45

oh no ninah
is there no way round this?

ninah · 03/04/2009 17:46

well he could grow some hair
or some balls
or I could ring him I suppose

ridingjoker · 03/04/2009 17:47

oh ninah. shame

ninah · 03/04/2009 17:49

was thinking of taking off to b&b in the car otherwise hanging round here, no dc - but my neighbour is a really good friend, she is old and they had to have ambulance out today as she had funny turn, think it's as well I'm around - she is a really nice lady. What with that and work I've not had too much time to dwell on it

aseriouslyblondemoment · 03/04/2009 17:53

oh friggin men
am still totally unmoved here about tomorrows date with tintin
i don't think i've ever been so reluctant to go out in my life
but i am trying to be open minded

ninah · 03/04/2009 17:55

go on asbm, you may even enjoy it
you know, like the parties you dread going to being the best nights?

aseriouslyblondemoment · 03/04/2009 18:02

ninah i seriously doubt it!
whenever i've dreaded something i've always been justified in doing so!
but if he is everything that we're looking for on this thread then i will take it all back!
i just feel mean going tbh as he's really keen and i'm not

ninah · 03/04/2009 18:05

I'm not sure why he is called tintin, is it the hair? at least he has some then lol
I am hard to please I know, a fortnight ago I was really happy and then I just suddenly got the yuks

lou33 · 03/04/2009 18:06

ninah, i dont have a problem with being drunk, only if they have an obvious personality change, which this guy seems to do

and he doesnt change for the better

ninah · 03/04/2009 18:09

Yes, agree that is a real red flag
was married to alcoholic (not for long) and hate hate hate drunkeness now as a result, not even sure I can confine my dislike to the personality change aspect

lou33 · 03/04/2009 18:11

i just cant be doing with it

ninah · 03/04/2009 18:13

I think you are right to know clearly what you want at the outset as it saves a lot of heartache later.
I just realised that I've kind of gone along with whoever I've fallen in with at the time, and tried to make it work, regardless really of how keen I am
Can't imagine meeting anyone I like enough tbh

Janos · 03/04/2009 18:14

Heya everybody

ASBM has instructed me to post on here and tell you all that my date last night went very well indeed!

ninah · 03/04/2009 18:15

oo-er
was it a ... wrap?

Janos · 03/04/2009 18:19

Yes it was indeed a wrap.

And vee nice it was too

aseriouslyblondemoment · 03/04/2009 18:19

tintin for the hair yes!
and no alcohol abuse is a big red flag
esp.when fellas become nasty and abusive with it

Remotew · 03/04/2009 18:20

Sorry to hear all this Ninah. Hope things work out for the best.

Lou he sounds troubled to be setting alarm bells ringing with someone he's never met.

ASBM go for it. I look forward to hearing how your date goes. The last time I was reluctant to go on a blind date, I fell for him very quickly, mistake as it turned out but nice to know it can be done. As Ninah says you can go years and never meet anyone who makes your heart dance.

I'm going out tonight with platonic male friend, the one with the fat wallet., he's good company. If we go around town at least I can purve without looking on the pull.

Janos · 03/04/2009 18:22

Just read other posts.

Drunkenness plus family issues = not a good sign.

Sounds like my exbf and his personality changed when drunk - not for the better either.

Janos · 03/04/2009 18:24

Agree that the drinking stuff is a red flag.

I put up with it for way too long, because I was invested in making things work. Not a good idea.

Remotew · 03/04/2009 18:29

Janos, very well indeed ay? Was it the first date or they third. Think in the states they say fifth. Well they did on friends.

Janos · 03/04/2009 18:35

Weeeell..... technically it was the second date.

I had a date with him in January 08.

(exbf inbetween, in case you're wondering).

aseriouslyblondemoment · 03/04/2009 18:35

Eve enjoy!
will let you know how it goes
my friend will call me with an emergency if i get stuck and the ladies loo window is too tiny to climb thru
