Am so depressed-had gorgeous date lined up for tonight, he cooked, and

[Pawslikepaddington]

Dd (5) promptly puked and diahorrea-d all over his bed (I had taken her with me asleep to save on babysitting) within 3 1/2 mins of me getting there, so I stripped the bed and came home . Will he ever speak to me again? (He is dc-less and so nice and understanding, sob sob sob!)

I remember having an occassion (or two) when I started dating DP, where in the middle of our romantic evening together, DS1 suddenly woke up & threw up!
I was all of a fluster seeing to DS & chucking sicky bedding in the washing machine, when DP said "do you want any help?"
I didn't take him up on the offer, but that was the moment I thought "blimey, I love you!!"

god you lucky ladies. my (ex)P said to me after i'd been up 4 hours cleaning up projectile vomit and calming very upset DS... "god, you smell of sick cant you have a shower or something".

this was 3am and he'd been snoring most of the night. in my bed. and we never even lived together.

grab him and hold on to him thats what i say!!! ...the nice man i mean.

ah how lovely
My lovely DP works away and due to my DC, lunatic XH, his work, LDR we see each other about once a month!
The second time he was here, my sister came to look after kids, so I could spend the night with him in his hotel, we went out for a drink and me being so out of practice was completely pissed by 11pm - he gallantly helped me stagger back to the hotel, where we had sex, and I promptly threw up all over the bed and him, and passed out - he cleaned me and bed up, put me on my side put a bin next to me and got in next to me puke smell and all
He came back the next month and we are still together

Paws - He sounds lovely

Paws, he sounds lovely. Good luck to you both

Boo, he dumped me!!!! Oh well, he wasn't worth it I suppose-boo!!

Oh no! Why what happened?

He liked his ex girlfriend more-which is fair enough, at least he told me now, but he was really nice! And my boiler has just blown up and flooded my bathroom and kitchen too-today is not a good day!

Christ. How on earth did he say that to you? What a bounder!

Is it worth doing the 'can you help me anyway, my boiler's just blown up and flooded the house' thing, or do you think you should just let it go? There are some strange folk out there - and I've been married to one for 12 years, so I should know

Just play it cool and hopefully he'll come back in a coouple of months when he realises what a catch you are...........ex's are ex's for a reason!

Its disappointing - not least for all of us who were following the post thinking 'awww there are nice men out there!'
He is decent for his honesty though, he could have strung you along, I agree play it cool and let him get over his ex and who knows for thr future?

aww paddington so sorry to hear
agree with last couple of posts
stay cool and sit tight and see how it goes
hope boiler gets sorted too,not what you need right now

oh no i agree with playing it cool but would also add that (in nicest possuble way) don't hang around waiting for him sweetheart xx

Have decided to just let it go-I have a sweet romantic memory and that is fine-if he is still cut up over his ex (who he went out with for 4 months, but they broke up 5 months ago) then he really isn't my kind of guy-it will be one thing after another (well in my experience anyway!), and he was always complaining about how tired he was, how hard his life was etc, so if that was grating after two weeks it would only get worse! At least I know I'm worth bringing dinner over for, which gives me that little bit more confidence to find mr yummy!

P.S. seriously blonde-you should be given a dame-hood for keeping an eye on all us singlets!

Aww bless you xx

onwards and upwards paws

Just had lunch with a friend, and she has set me up with her (very very very sweet) friend already! Oh god! I am single for eons and then it is date city!! I feel really bad going on a date 4 days after I have just been dumped, but we were only seeing each other for 2 weeks-am I harlet-y? Argh! I know him quite well though, and he knows dd too, so no surprises or anything, but still, I feel bad!! xx

we're not talking marriage here lol
do you fancy a night out or not?
if you're not in the mood then that's fair enough
but don't not go as you feel bad
you have after all done nothing wrong have you?

Tis very true-I will go, I will I will I will! Hurrah! He is very very sweet, and defo wouldn't run away at dd sick, so I will go, I will!

yay!!
that's more like it
let me know how you get on

get the name of that georgous ice cream will you . LOL

Indeed I will-he is helping me bake a cake on Thurs for my birthday and then I am having a big all friends together BBQ, so basically he is coming early to help me-yaaaaaaaay! So it isn't really a date, but if we get on we might go for a picnic on the river on Saturday-woo!

Ooh, the ice cream was any normal (yet creamy) ice cream (any fave one), but get some almonds, dust them in icing sugar, bake in the oven for 5 mins, then sprinkle on the (unbaked) ice cream and then drizzle with strong italian coffee, mmmmmmmmm!

ohhhhhh sounds lovely thanks lol
