Oh dear itm how do you feel about that? Are you ok?

As we're horoscoping, my XP was (well is) a Virgo and I'm a Leo. Awful combination.

ninah · 31/05/2009 21:12

ah, I am cancer too. Don't think I've tried a capricorn. Not sure what nm is, either leo or virgo, late summer. Yes, asbm, he is still nm. Not bf.
Had a nice weekend with him but feeling oddly anxious about where things are going, and where do I want them to go. The thing I've gained from dating is that I def want a full-time relationship, family, all that. I never really had the family thing, as ex and I split when dc so young, and we weren't good together. With nm? I'm not sure. I'm not sure it's what he wants, either. He is lovely in many ways, but irritating in others. I think in hindsight I should have dated more men and he should have dated more women first. I have told him what I want (not necessarily from him) but we were both a bit plastered at the time to be having that conversation and I think he was a bit taken aback, as he is happy with things the way they are. It takes so long to get to know someone, I still don't feel like I know him really. I feel really torn. Maybe it's the sunday night thing, home alone with dc again.

ninah · 31/05/2009 21:13

threesome lou ??

inthemistsoftime · 31/05/2009 21:25

oh ninah, tis a hard place to be,

one feel that one shouldn't waste our time on relationships that are not destined to be! so yes, I am glad Skippy told me now.

but it could always be sunday night/school night feeling too, time will tell.

ninah · 31/05/2009 21:48

that's just it itm. I can see the sensible part of skippy thing, and you sound like you treated each other decently. Only some months down the line it's hard to decide to finish with a nice man who's maybe 'done' the family thing ... the way he is with all of us is SOOO different from ex, it's a taste of what could be. Only I want it full time, and I don't want to wait interminably. The Thai farmer is keen to meet me apparently. Maybe it would be clearer in my head if I met him, not on a date basis, but just to get some perspective. Or is that sleazy. It does feel sleazy.

inthemistsoftime · 31/05/2009 21:51

a bit of perspective is a good thing, maybe not the thai farmer, but someone else to see how you really feel about nm

ninah · 31/05/2009 22:00

I really feel I need to do it
the Thai farmer would be a good one tho, because it would remind me what a lot of twts are out there and I have been lucky not to be hurt or messed around
maybe just get out and meet more people full stop, tho easier said than done
If nm felt like checking out other women I would be mortified. He did have one relationship after split, quite brief. He is not divorced yet

lou33 · 31/05/2009 22:30

woohoo ladies, who needs men eh?!!

Janos · 31/05/2009 22:36

Well things move fast...I have 2 dates lined up.

Well, two cybermen that want to meet up.

It's a bit like buses...

lou33 · 31/05/2009 22:39

ooh janos tell us more

Janos · 31/05/2009 22:43

Well, I have been chatting to younger chap on POF (27) he wants to come through from his home (about 40 miles away) and meet me.

Also chatting to other nice younger bloke (29) on MSN, he's keen to meet too.

Seen photos, both attractive.

Blimey....

lostinthecitylover · 31/05/2009 22:44

sounds good - have you got a nickname for them yet?

Whey hey!! (sp)

lou33 · 31/05/2009 22:48

cor you are as bad as me!

Janos · 31/05/2009 22:51

lou

No nicknames as yet, I don't have rjs gift with nicknames. Will have to ask her!

Bloody hell though, nothing for ages then all of a sudden 2 at once.

Younger one has told me hge is fond of older women (I get that a lot).

Could be damp squibs of course, but hey

lou33 · 31/05/2009 23:05

lou33 · 31/05/2009 23:20

ninah · 31/05/2009 23:22

ninah · 31/05/2009 23:41

janos - the one who stays further away in that place you told me of should be called "the whirrel" or "the whirrlies"(to do with his area for you southern gals wandering mins) obviously your not going to do that with him on the first date, but hey ho it'll be fun thinking of meeting for a "whirrel"

if he has curly hair he could also be called curly wurly

need more info in the other for a name
