where have all the fit and interesting men gone part.....9? isit 9?

[ridingjoker]

ooooh i get to start the thread.
unless i'm being thick and cant find it.

lou - go on send me a pic of dark horse i'm so nosey.

ninah - i think thats really rude of your friend. if she didn't have anything nice to say she shouldn't have said anything at all.

if he turned into an idiot do what i would do and just walk off and leave him somewhere random

i doubt very much he will. but you never know do you?? best not to have the first time when we're with all my friends.

i would rather hope he wouldnt even want to get bolloxed the first time he met your mates anyway

i usually only let my men meet friends during working hours, as some of them have a tendancy to start grilling them once they have had a few drinks and it all gets a bit embarrassing when i have to listen to them saying "so are you another time wasting cock or are you worth her while, because she does have better things to do otherwise, and she has made time for you over her kids "

rj you sound so sorted, yes v sensible to check him out after a few bevvies before exposing to your nearest and dearest
lost sorry exh plans mean it will be difficult for you at weekend is samename out of the bin then? my bf was in and out of the bin so many times ...
finding money ... yeah, been there ..
hi eve glad you had good time parting and how satisfying to encounter the captain in that context, good for you
asbm am totally done in here, too, can't wait for summer hols now, really tired! saw bf last night but not specially late, and I mean no sheet burn or anything lol rj - feel generally apathetic about everything inc him, had been really looking forward to seeing him but in the end all seemed too much effort, keeping convo going etc.
he wants me to meet his sis at weekend but it would mean finding childcare and I tend to reserve childcare for special occasions, you know - as I hate to ask favours. I suppose there will be other occasions.

eve that was meant to say partying not parting!

ah lou - now you obviously never met my friends. they will cajole him into drinking games which they have practiced for years. if he survives he will be allowed back

this strange ritual is the way they think they should initiate any new boyf/girlf into the social circle.

you get extra points for bringing something very chic or wacky as gift to first house party.gifts have ranged from weird artsy sculptures through to a door sized banner with a picture of the group.

they sound great rj!

ninah - i'm with you on childcare. much better to use it for occasions with friends i find. lol. or emergenicies.

also, with bf do you mean you struggled to find convo? surely by 8 months your at the stage of sitting and not "HAVING" to make convo?

i would like to be at that stage with marvel. i have to tell him to shut up sometimes....in a nice way of course

i find when he's yabbering on its easier just to kiss him to shut him up

can i just say at this point, how great it is having a 17 yr old child who can babysit

oh lou

lou
rj it's not strained or anything just sometimes I wish it was all a bit more interesting - I suppose it's just got to that stage. you know how hopeless some men can be in conversation - asked to describe someone for example you get age. After a pause, hair colour and build.
I am the yabberer in the relationship lol, was off on one last night alright
now the sex has worn off a bit I'm looking at the rest of the er, package iyswim

ninah - bet if you started him on about trains he'd never shut up.

i'm a yacker too.

i know what you mean about some men though. i'm not very good with the ones where its like drawing blood out a stone. i feel like giving them a poke to see if they're still awake

or i get bored and just get up and go home. or send them packing to come back another day and remeber to bring their personalities with them next time

ninah are you sure you want to be with this guy?

lol at you two
yes, rj trains - or work (his)
You are quite right lou I am not sure at all, the plus point is that it's comfortable and fits in with life, I don't really want a dramatic big love affair atm
the down side is that I would like to end up with someone I adore one day
Did I tell you my friend finally produced her matchmakee last weekend? not Thai Farmer, I think I called him the Carpenter
he was lovely ...
we just met briefly and shook hands

Well I simply can't imagine actually introducing a nm to friends! They would give him such a grilling he would run a mile afterwards....

I am also a jabber-on er. I hate being with quiet people - when I am unsure or on the phone (but not with good friends etc), I have an incessant need to fill the silence with innane chat. nervous running on, I reckon..

Ninah - isnt it nice to just sit in each others company though?

Rj - I want to meet your mates! lol. So I reckon a teatotaller wouldnt go down too well there . And totally agree about the lack of overnight child free times while our ex's have the opposite problem. It really pisses me off as I am so active, I like to do sports and belong to clubs, but I can't as I dont have a regular babysitter. Whereas my ex I am sure just sits on his arse all night playing computer games. Makes me so . But at least I have ds everyday, and I woudlnt swap that. Well, sometimes I would

yes, nice to sit quietly if we have a longer time, for one evening midweek when you are gagging for adult conversation it's a bit frustrating
I'm just in a discontented frame of mind today
how's life, ragged?

ninah - oooh so is the capenter possibly getting a date. or do i sense some of your woodwork coming undone??

rtp - tt persons have only survived if they've given superb wacky gifts. there's someone just now who's a tt magician(honestly) . that is what he does as 2nd job. his gifts was model balloons in animal shapes.

i'd known him a while through one particular friend. he's pretty insane. and i would actual be scared to see what he did with a drink under his belt (should i say magician hat)

i think i have a similar syndrome to you rtp - nervous disposition that means i cant keep my mouth shut. i say the most god awful embarassing things sometimes. and its out before i realise it.

oh and when i'm drunk if i've done something wrong i have to admit it. guilt gets to me and it all spills out.

but if you tell me a secret i will forget within 3 mins.

wonder why other peoples secrets i can keep, but my own i cant.

any of the other yabbers suffer this?

No really was just a handshake lol
I was half expecting feedback from my determined-to-get-me-hitched friend but nada
Just as well, he was kind of out of my league and I don't want the anxiety of that
I've been out with a tt in the past, he was Brazilian and v sexy
drink definitely lubricates a social occasion but I wouldn't want to rely on it - bf and I drink most times we're together, mainly because child free time is scarce

omg boatboy just opened up his facebook photos, and I had a peek (he told me btw, I am not a random stalker). Lets just say the original one must have been taken in a much better light. Feel so shallow, especially as we have had some good chatty emails, but hmmmm

ninah - you gonna see carpenter again then??

rj - I dont tend to jabber QUITE that much . I just generally run on about random crap that is going through my head - like a stream of consciousness. And only really when nervous or on the phone. When drunk I either end up doing some kind of climbing or gymnastic debacle or to challenge people to fights . I have learnt to pace myself nowadays.... maybe it would be for the best if I was seeing a tt man....

damn took so long to write that last post I xposted with you ninah!

yup, looks aren't everything, but they do matter ... least you are forewarned!
know just what you mean about stream of consciousness
drunk, I get on my soapbox

for anyone who's interested in pursuing the weird hobbies line there's one on match atm who dresses up as a knight ... his last read is 'instructions on the slimfast packet' - anyone?

Hi all - rofl at the descriptions of men, how they might interact with your friends and weird hobbies.

I did introduce samename to four of my friends - didn't get any positive feedback but no negative either- mind you we were all rather peed by the end of the evening.

Tonight have been out with huggybear for a couple of drinks - a guy from work - who always seemed to be very keen and I just blanked him for years but now we have alot more contact workwise and we have become friends and occasionally go out for a drink.

I think he might fancy me but he has a partner so we will just remain friends. He is a bit flirty and I fend him off! Our mutual colleague died recently and so we have been supporting each other with that. It is a genuine friendship and I am certain I can handle it.

I know it sounds a bit sus but honestly in our work environment (education) it is quite common to go out with members of the opposite sex and no eyebrow is raised it would almost be politically uncorrect to do so!

We had a fun time and am almost sorry I had to leave early.
