aseriouslyblondemoment · 14/04/2009 15:01

i just asked him if i managed to borrow a helmet for the weekend can we go on his bike..

he is at work so dont expect immediate replies, but would love to go for a ride

aseriouslyblondemoment · 14/04/2009 15:12

yep its phileas!!
i think these fellas have a sixth sense they seem to know that we have our options at the plenty so come aft.us
amazing what a bit of competition does to a man
i would def.get that helmet sorted out tho esp as weather meant to be good

lou33 · 14/04/2009 15:15

lou33 · 14/04/2009 15:33

if you have any doubt then dont meet him, maybe he was just seeing if you were about for a chat?

blimey i am tired i may have to forego chores and nap again!

lou33 · 14/04/2009 15:50

am asking a mate to borrow a helmet, he said he would take me out on it

ninah · 14/04/2009 17:55

how do you mean checking up on you, looking at your profile and stuff, seeing when you are online?
I think that's OK?
sounds worth a meet from what you say

ridingjoker · 14/04/2009 18:58

do you have apic on your profile. perhaps phileas is just reminding himself what yuo look like. i had to do that with diver. but i checked his photo offline so he didn't know iykwim.

i can never remember faces.

lostinthecitylover · 14/04/2009 19:09

samename1 and I are getting on really well - in touch each day and seeing him again on Thurs. BUT (and would appreciate opinions) he is online alot of the time.

I can't be bothered atm to be honest can't handle more than one at once if we are planning ongoing meetings - shall I broach it with him (face to face) and what do I say without looking like a bboiler.

Confused really. Torn between playing it ultra cool and speaking my mind. Also he could be confused too because on our first date I felt backed into a corner by him asking me (quite forcefully) what did I want, what did I want and I kept saying wasn't sure and think in the end said I def wanted fun. Perhaps I need to recheck with him what he is looking for.

lostinthecitylover · 14/04/2009 19:11

yes I have revisited profiles to check details. Mr Keen was the only one who came back and said - ooh you've checked my profile - if someone keeps looking at mine don't mind really.

lou33 · 14/04/2009 19:31

i think you have to have some type of conversation about what you want, as there seems to be a bit of confusion

ex bf has been in touch all day

lostinthecitylover · 14/04/2009 19:58

yes I will he's pretty open as a person so I dont feel awkward talking to him about it but want to do it face to face rather than by phone or text. He said on more than one occasion why hasn't someone already snapped me up LOL

aseriouslyblondemoment · 14/04/2009 19:59

evening all!
guess you're all right here about phileas i am just wary i guess aft.some of the basket cases ive seemed to attract before
scl imo i wouldnt bring up the subject i would just go with the flow
when you say that he's been online is this on the site or on fb?

OP posts:
lou33 · 14/04/2009 20:01

tell himt hey tried but you broke their fingers

lostinthecitylover · 14/04/2009 20:02

he's on the site. I will see how Thursday goes.

Thing is I am not prepared to invest most of my spare time on him if he is still trawling. But I agree I have given him mixed messages due to my general wariness regarding relationships.

lostinthecitylover · 14/04/2009 20:04

Lou lol

why do all men think the answer to a woman's porblems is to be with a man?

lostinthecitylover · 14/04/2009 20:05

sorry should have said some men not all men!!

lostinthecitylover · 14/04/2009 20:07

see also when I started up with exbf remember telling him that the last thing I wanted was another partner. (was only a few months separated) oh how I laughed.

Some of it is true but some of it is a defence mechanism.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 14/04/2009 20:10

scl is he actually trawling tho?
let's face it us girls still love to go on and check up on our messages
would the length of time he's on tie in with this?
at least he's being open about it unlike me who goes on hidden

OP posts:
lou33 · 14/04/2009 20:16

personally i think men are the cause of most of our problems not the solution
