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.

poor phileas rofl.

looking with his nirvana t-shirt firmly in place.

ninah - this is a completely different ball game to a cyberman relationship. he's local, socialises same places as me. as do his friends.

but he fills criteria, fit , interesting (definately not boring) and available.

so we'll see what happens

Read from the bottom;

I did offer the oppurtunity to try and convince me...

likewise, thanks for replying...

fair enough - thanks for taking the time to reply rather than just ignoring.

all the best,

I thought they were horses!

I am not really looking for a relationship with a family, sorry but that is honesty for you, I might therefore take some convincing...

You don't manage those camels on the farm do you?

ChasingSquirrels · 26/05/2009 23:32

worth replying? Gut feeling says no - I should stick with it shouldn't I?

ninah · 26/05/2009 23:34

cs are you disappointed?
and what's with the camels?
rj he sounds lovely and is obv making you happy, really pleased

ChasingSquirrels · 26/05/2009 23:41

his occupation is farm manager, his picture had a camel in the background. Just something to say really!
disappointed - umm, not really. He isn't someone I know at all, therefore nothing to be disappointed about.
I misread his first reply, and am not looking for a family relationship anyway - I can't imagine involving my kids with anyone, so it just put me off.

ninah · 26/05/2009 23:45

I would leave it, why the bloody hell should you need to convince him of anything? if he's not comfortable around dc better to know now and if he's making you work to get him you are much better off finding someone who's truly into you and not into power games
did you meet him online?
farm manager - he should know that horses don't have humps then silly tosser

ChasingSquirrels · 26/05/2009 23:46

rofl, yeah - that was my view. Just wanted a 2nd opinion - thanks.
My post was the sum total of contact with him - email on POF tonight. I think he was trying to be funny with the horses comment...
Thanks

ninah · 26/05/2009 23:59

ah gsoh too then
well done for sifting this one early cs, better luck next time!

lou33 · 27/05/2009 00:29

i am pondering on how and when to break this off with darkhorse, he is so nice to me and my kids i feel bad about it

and i dont want to not stay friends with him, after all we have been for about 9 months

i wouldnt care about his feelings if he was a tosser but he isnt

i think i will have to say something after this weekend

aseriouslyblondemoment · 27/05/2009 01:49

oh rofl
jesus what an arse cs!
deary me no wonder he's single and to think that you're desp for some kind of father figure for your dc
don't these men realise that actually we are quite happy on our own with our dc and that what we would quite like when it suits us is some nice adult male company
blaardy men!!
well i've just spent the last few hours chatting to a man who it would appear fits all the criteria of this thread(oh yes!)
we've messaged a bit over the weekend but only got chatting tonite as he had probs with his pc and got himself a new laptop today
can't think of a nickname rj will prob.come up with one i'm sure
he hasnt pestered me for my no or given me his yet-don't you just hate men who do that?!
but has asked me if he can talk to me tomorrow nite so will see how it goes!
yes ninah i believe phileas is still looking but i had to block him as he was becoming a pest
i take it that the 80s sixth former look does nothing for you either

cs - lucky escape from that tosser "convince me", whats the point. he should be drooling over your photo and requesting a date.

agree with asbm about father figures. alot do assume we want them to instantly step into that role.....er..no.

oh and asbm - your new cyberman can be laptopboy(unless he's really really fit then he's laptop hunk)

laptopboy may have issue similar to blackberry man in past and is a bit wary of giving his number out???

lou - surely if you've known him for 9 months you knew already if you found him attractive or not? how come you decided he was and then changed your mind? anything in particular putting you off.

morning all, just getting registered on this thread as it moves so fast!

I well and truly fell of the fag wagon this weekend, but have now given myself a good talking too and have regained my equilibrium.

rj, am shocked what are you no longer interested in superman?

ridingjoker · 27/05/2009 09:57

itm - superman workaholic thing isn't going to work with LRD. don't get me wrong.... if he's over and i'm single i wouldn't say no to scratching an itch.

but that wont be happening as long as i'm s
till with marvel.

and falling off the wagon is ok tbh. just get back on it again and you'll be fine.

lou33 · 27/05/2009 12:16

rj, but we were only friends before, it's different when you get more intimate and see another side of them

aseriouslyblondemoment · 27/05/2009 12:31

rj and your itch scratching lol
hi itm how are things with you?
rj not sure about laptopboy as a name actually,he's the one i told you about on msn, and no he doesn't take the calls like we laughed about!
blackberry man was not phone shy at all anything but..

aseriouslyblondemoment · 27/05/2009 12:34

oh lou it's a toughie
at least you're being considerate about this
it's horrible to have to hurt someone's feelings

lou33 · 27/05/2009 13:18

well i may do cos i am feeling a bit fed up of him today

he is giving off an air of he knows best about pc's, like i dont have a clue

i just told him he can pack that in for a start

aseriouslyblondemoment · 27/05/2009 15:15

ohh rofl
